Gold Not the Cause {.

The New York Tribune of the 7th inst. contains lengthy article by the Hon. David A. Wells, of Norwich, on the financial questions of the day. It is devoted to showing that the main argu- ment of the silverites, viz, that the de- precision of prices has been caused by the appreciation in value of gold due to the demonetization of silver is unfound- ed in fact He shows that this fall in prices is worldwide, that it is found in all countries, both those on a gold as we'll as those on a silver or bi-metalkc basis, and that in no country except ours is the cause of the fall of prices supposed to have anything to do with anything which has befallen silver, but is always ascribed to some other cause. He says that nobody has or can prove that any article has declined in value through the appreciation of gold. That gold has not appreciated, judging from the fact that the average rate of wages has increased since 1870 and the rate of interest declined. He also declares and proves by good authority that no con- modity has declined in price without ample reason for that decline in the de- creased cost of production, in decreased cost of transportation, or in excess of production over consumption.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IT. 1s96
Finy-three Cent Dollars.

The expression "53 cent dollar" seems to some people merely campaign phrase with no substance of solid truth behind 1t. We assure such people that, if this country ever embarks on the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, the 53 cent dol lar will be stern reality. Our govern ment is already carrying all the silver which any government can maintain at parity with gold, the standard measure of values of all the leading commercial nations. With free and unlimited coinage of silver, we should have an inflated currency and 8 double measure Of values and the cheaper metal, silver. would drive the gold out of circulation, according to Gresham's law and tho universal experience of all nations, and we should be on mono-metallic silver basis. Then our dollar will be marked down to its real bullion value, 53 cents or less, in the markets of the world. The prices of all commodities, includ ing the necessaries of life, according to all past experience will rise, but, as has always been found in the past, wages will not rise in proportion. And just here let it be noted that this rise in prices will be measured by depreci- ated currency. As Senator Sherman said the other day, "There is no use iI having bushel of money if it will buy nothing" or what is the use of having a bushel of money if it takes bushel to buy bushel of potatoes? A general all around marking up of prices will not change things or benefit anybody. Double prices of farm products would not benefit the farmer if he had to pay double prices for what he buys. So, with wages and salaries unchanged and the necessaries of life twice as dear, we shall have dollars, worth everywhere only half what the dollars we now have (gold or as good as gold the world over with which we shall be able to buy only half as much as we can now, or in other words we shall have 53 cent dollars.
 Not only that, but these dollars will be steadily declining in value. and fiuctuating in value from week to week, . financial condition unfavorsble to new enterprises and investments of capital and employment of labor. And if is for this reason that the laboring man has more at stake and more to dread in this matter than men of finan- cial ability. who have shown that they have the brains to accumulate large fortunes, and have capital laid up, They and all the rich can take care oi themselves better than the poor, in times of financial disorder and un-
 certainty.
