DAVID A. WELLS on SILVER COINAGE.

The Hon. David A. Wells, of Connecticut mas
prepared n remarkably able and important docu
ment on the question of silver coinage when IL
published to-day and deserves careful examina-
ton by all who wish to understand the subject
whether for their aid as speakers or writers III
discussing IT, or for their guidance in voting
Mr. Wells has long been known as one or the
abest Democratic students and writers on
economic subjects. and however widely he has
differed from The Tribune in respect to the
tariff. he has made many contributions to the
literature of the money question: which all recog-
nize as valuable In this document he states
very forcibly the truth. which in one OF his pub
lished works he fortified with an elaborate array
of facts. namely that there Is no evidence what
ever that any one article in the whole range or
commodities has been in the least degree de-
pressed in price by the disuse of silver as money.
He declares that not one can be named which
has declined in price without ample philosophy
cal reason for that decline in the decreased cost
of production. in decreased cost of transporta-
ton. or in excess Of production over consump-
ton.
Mr. Wells not only sets forth this view strongly
and clearly. but cnforces it by many convincing
Illustrations His racy humor, and his striking
exposure of the conspiracy Of silver mllonaires
and their past performances, render the docu-
ment not only important, but highly interesting.
1t is one which the National Committee may ma
it well TO use extensively. Prevented by MS
freetrade views from attrbuting the great de-
preston of business in this country to the cause
which is in large degree responsible for 1t, ne
is unable to recognize the merits OF the remedy
which Republicans propose, and oilers no other
beyond the firm adherence TO sound money ana
the complete and decisive overthrow OF Bryan
ism and the silver conspiracy, which would in
deed do much 10 restore confidence ana 10
permit Improvement in trade and Industries.
But his reasoning against the false notion that
prices have been depressed by disuse Of silver IS
| most timely and effective

At this distance IT certainly seems as though
little had been done toward cfecting Il UNION

To be feared the second object has no more

There was. however, one significant feature
of the proceedings which must not be over

feet upon the future fortunes of the National

that the Anti Parnellites are the one. true irish
