Yet duri ng the enormously disproportion- ate production of the first three periods all the variations In the market ratio are embraced within ] H points, while in the last period, when production was almost identical in both metals. the ratio sank more than Is points. To say that this 1 per cent difference caused such vast dis turbance, while differences hundreds of times greater caused no disturbance at-all, is to do violence to the primary sugges- tions of the reason. Note upon the fol- lowing chart (tQ which I shall hereafter refer for another purpose) how the fall of silver began with the concerted legislative assaults upon 1t and continued by precipi-I tous deolipe as those assaults were repeated and consider. for example, how steep the decline was between 1873 and 1880. al- though those years the gold production was tSs6, $50, 900 and the silver production only s690, 100, GOO.
 Now, sir, ask the attention of gentle men to chart D, which is the last one shall exhibit. It is a chart which, in my judgment is absolutely unanswerable on the single gold theory.
