lions into the yawning Chasm, yet more
Of the staple products of labor would
be required to pay what remained than
to have liquidated the whole at the
close of the war.
Such are the conditions which to-day
confront the people Of this country.
Nor has the end of the tragedy yet been
reached. Nor will it be till industrial
servitude of the most CALLING character
has been fastened upon the people, un-
less there is q change In our monetary
standard effected by restoring silver to
the position 1t occupied before the
enormous fraud was perpetrsted, or by
the people rising in their just indigns-
tiOn and hurling the dishonest burden
from them.
In the fourth paragraph of the srtl.
Gle the Professor says: "The business
community has enough to do to watch
for and guard against changes arising
from natural causes affecting the de.
msnd and supply of money and the
VicissitudeS of costs of production. 1t
has not only a right to be saved from
legislative artificial changes in the
standard, but 1t will be incensed beyond
endurance IL such legislation is the re-
suit Of political intrigue and campaign
bargains. 1t is ready to demand In
very ugly humOr that it shall no longer
be worried by unnatural legislative
changes In the common denominstor
Itself" For audaclty this is enough to
bring a smile to the features of brass
monkey. Whom does he mean by
"business community Why, the cou.
pom clippers and money lenders, Of
course, as these are the only industries
not injured by the insidious legislation
Of 1873, If we except intriguing politi-
clans and other hirellngs engaged in
the support of the gold standard policy.
The others have che right to demand
and are now demanding the repeal of
the unrlghteous legislation which has
produced such widespread industrial
serVltude and depression in our Coun-
try.
If the friends Of silver in 1873 had
accepted no such compromise as the
Bland Allison law, the status Of silver
would have been readily understood by
the people and they would have turned
down everyone who stood in the way
Of It's full restoration to the position of
standard money. But the return of
the government to the coinage of silver
dollars, though merely as representa-
tiVes of gold dollars in performing the
function of q medium of exchange, de-
ceived the people and diverted their
attention from the cause that Contin-
ued to depress prices and produce hard
times. An intelligent understanding
OF the two distinct functions of money
the one as q common denominator or
measure Of value, and the other as q
medium Of exchange directed by an
honest purpose would have saved the
country from much very foolish legis-
lation on this subject. There was but
one way that either the Bland. Allison
law or the Sherman law could have
brought the country to silver as stand
ard money, and that was by rendering
the government unable to maintain the
gold reserve; and If such had been the

tuition, It furnishes striking exhibition
Of the vast influence the monied class
is exerting to mold society to It's own
purposes
The Professor avoids entirely a dis
Cussion of the fundamental issue exist
ing between the gold and silver
factions, and assumes that this country
was on gold basis from 1884 till the
suspension Of specie payments during
the flrst year of the war, and when re-
sumption took place In 1879 it was on
the same gold basis that had existed
prior to the war.
1t is evident that upon the correct
ness Of this assumption rests the merits
or demerlts Of the controversy respect.
ing the monetary standard. If what
he assumes is true, we cannot see how
anyone can reasonably dispute the con-
sistency of his monetary program, and
the only alternative left for financial
Eeformers is to declare eternal hostility
to the present unjust and tyrannIcal
monetary system. On the other hand,
IL the Professors assumption Is false,
his article amounts to no more than o
shreWd argument of knsvish attorney
for dishonest client.
1t Is true that from 1884 to the time
Of specie suspension the business Of
this country was conducted on gold
basis; not because gold was the exClu-
sive standard, but In consequence of
the change made by Congress In 1894
in the ratio of coinage between gold
and silver. The ratio had been Is of
silver to Of gold. The change made
consisted In reducing the weight of the
gold coins, so that the ratio stood at
1898 of silver to l of gold. This
change made gold commercially the
cheaper of the two metals, whereas, by
the former ratio, silver was the cheaper.
If, however, during this period, from
any cause gold had increased In value,
or silver had declined, so that their rel
alive commercial values became again
reversed, silver would have been the
standard Of value instead of gold.
Such was the effect Of the double
standard when employed that the bur
den Of use rested upon the one of lesser
commercial value. This prevented It's
further decline, and also arrested the
advance In the other.
The Professor says that In 1879 we
returned to the same gold standard
which had existed prior to the war
But what are the real facts Of the easel
The legislation Of 1873 established gold
as the esOlestandard, making 25.s grains
of this metal nine tenths fine the unit
of measure instead OF 4l21I grains Of
silver nine-tenths fine which had pre-
vlOusly existed as the monetary unit
By this legislation silver not only
ceased to be standard money, but wa
deprived Of all power of becoming
such; a power it previously had an(
exercised whenever 1t was CONNER
cially the cheaper metal at the colnagt
ratio.
