SILVER QUESTION IN NUTSHELL
Are Our wage-Earners Getting Too High
Wages?

~-o-~
Wages?
In every rural town in the country
free coinage advocates are promising
farmers that sixteen to one would raise
the price of grain and meat and thus
reduce the poportions of the produce
of the farm that goes to pay the labor
employed. Of all brazen performances
of the century, the most impudent is
that by which at the same time the
wage-earners are invited to assist in a
campaign to make their food more dear
to them and to reduce the wages of the
most numerous class of wage-earners
in the country.
There is the silver question in nut.
shell. It is simply a question as to
whether our wage-earners are getting
too high wages. They may as well face
the question. If our wage-earners be-
lieve they are getting too high wages
and that this country is suffering in
consequence, all they have to do is to
take lower wages. If they prefer a
roundabout way, they can favor free
coinage of silver, and they will get their
wages cut down half without any
further trouble on their part.
In the light of our experience with
fiat money legislation, from the green
back to the Sherman pig silver certifi-
Gates, this long-suffering country will
finally learn that wealth is not created
by fiat, but is made by labor; that the
law can put no dollar into any mans
pocket unless it first takes it from the
pocket of some other man, and that
wage-earners are first and most inter-
ested in opposing interference by law.
There has never yet been made law to
put into any laboring mans pocket q
single dollar that he did not earn. He
Of all men, therefore, has the best right
to insist that there shall be no law
passed that will raise the price Of what
he has to buy, and thus take from him
any portion of what he has earned

Problems"

Where Are the Benefits?

If 5O-cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case 1t is not easy to see how the farm
er would gain anything by the free
coinage Of silver. Even the wages of
labor, the last to rise in an epoch Of de-
preciated currency and inflated prices,
would finally, after much distress of
the worSingmen, struggle up to the
common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out 500 for the necessaries of living
or should receive 5000 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
the balance on hand would have just
the same purchasing power. But in &C.
complishing the degradation Of the
monetary standard, which could do
neither the farmer nor the wage-earner
any good, an enormous depreciation Of
values and confiscation Of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in q maelstrom Of destruction,
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen of the country
willing to invoke such catastrophe?

"Per Capita"

1t is more money the Bryanites want.
Now, which nations have the most
money--those with the gold standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites are fond of talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage of both gold and
silver the United States had a per capita
circulation in 1900 Of $4.99, in 1883 Of
$3.50, in 1852 of $1+.63, in 1872 Of $3.50.
In 1894 we had o per capita Of $24.2S; In
1896 we have one of $21.10.
The per capita circulation Of the
world Is about $5.15.
The per capita of the gold standard
countries is $1s..
Tho per capita of the silver standard
countries is nearly $3.50. .
The gold standard countries have a
per capita of silver alone Of $S.40.
The silver standard countries have a
per capita Of silver of $2.32, the rest of
their small circulation being mainly de-
preciated paper.
The gold standard countries, with
less than one third of the worlds popu-
lation, have very nearly two-thirds Of
the worlds currency circulation.
And yet Mr.. Bryan would take the
United States from the gold standard
and place It upon the silver Standard

TRUE DEMOCRATIC ooorRlNe.

Jefferson, jackson and Benton Were for
Gold Standard.
Jefferson, in 1883, wrote: "Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
the market price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
pally be connected in commerce. and to
take am average from them. I very
much doubt right now to change the
value, and especially to lessen it,"
The house committee in 1921, report
ed: "It is sufficient to know, by un-
happy experience, that its (ratio of fif-
teen to one) tendency is to rid us of a
gold currency and leave us nothing but
silver"
The house committee in 1894, report
ed: THE desileratum in the monetary
system is standard of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and indiscriminately in
any country where there are banks or
money dealers, and we entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach to
an invariable standard is it's establish
ment in one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the currency for
large payments"
Andrew jackson, in 1896, wrote !:
"There Is no fraud III
changeable and will do It's, once every
where aud at all times Labor imparts
an invariable value to it,"
Benton, in 1884, said in debate: 1T

the full amount of that value without
regard to law or circumstances. 1t has
a uniformity of value which makes ii

which the wisdom of man has yet dis.
covered. It's superiority over adj other
money gives its possessor the choice
and command of all other money"

Boies-You are right.
Hired MAXWELL, which are you go
ing to do?
Boies-I am going to get more for my
oats.
Hired Man-How?
Boies-By lessening the purchasing
power of money. Free coinage will
give us dollar which will only buy
five bushels of oats instead Of ten BUSH
els, and that will be the same as get
ting 20 cents for my oats.
Hired MAXWELL, what are you going
to do about my wages?
Boies-Oh, I'll pay you just the same

Hired Man--Are you going to pay me

Boies-Yes, yes; the same sort Of dol

Hired Man-Then, as understand it,
you propose to get twice as much for
your oats and pay me only half what
I'm getting now?
Boies-Why, no. I'll still pay you $40.
Hired Man-But this $50 won't buy
only half as much stuff as now, you
say, for the purchasing power is to be
lessened one-half; SO with my $50
can only get $40 worth of stuff. Your
scheme would bring you twice as
much for your oats and bring me only
half as much for my work. Is this
fair, do you think?
Boies-Well, every man has to look
out for himself.
Hired Man---So see, and think I'll
look out for myself and vote for an
honest dollar for an honest days work.

The question will never be settled
until you determine the simple ques-
ton whether the laboring man is en-
titled to gold dollar if he earns it, or
whether you are going to cheat him
with something else. That is the upshot
of the whole thing. y There have
been great many battle fought against
gold, and gold has won every time. I
do not care how much you discuss it or
how many resolutions you pass, they do
not make any difference. You must
come to the same conclusion that all
other people have-that gold is recog-
nized as the universal standard of value.
1t is the measure by which your wealth
must be tested. 1t has been and always
will be the touchstone of measurement,
and when you depart from that and try
to figure up any otker measure which
the world does not recognize you get
into confusion. Attempting to reconcile
them, it is idle to talk about. 1t is idle
to talk about compromising on any
other measure of value. The world will
not accept it. We have The experience
of every nation that has tried it, and it
has been tried in almost every civilized
nation. u Do not let us try to de-
ceive the American people. Do not let
us try to make them believe by some
hocus pocus of legislation that we can
give them something Of real value-we
can give them a measure of value that
Is better than the universal standard of
mankind. Do not deceive them in that
regard. Let them know the facts now.
I believe that it would be highly injuri-
GUS to this country to again initiate the
currency. y need not enlarge
upon the evils Of deprecated cur
rency. This country has felt that too
severely to require that should men
ton them. 1t matters not what kind
Of depreciated currency you have, it
necessarily entails many evils.

Wages Go Up slowly.

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried In this or any other country has
demonstrated that,while prices respond
quickly to changes in the value Of
money. wages respond but slovly.
Hence, though wages appear to rise
when currency is deprecisting. they are
In reality falling. The difference IN
rapidity with which wages and prices
go up has been illustrated by prices
going up in elevators, while wages walk
up the stair steps. It is certain that
v'age-earners always lose and never
gain by being paid in q deprecated or
depreciating currency.
