A CHANGE DEMANDED.

In his great speech at ST. Louis Mon
day evening, Senator }. c. Burrows of
Michigan laid bare the cause of the
hard times in the United States. In
discussing the tariff he said:
We are confronted today with a con-
dition that no man desires to continue,
and the practical question and the one
hat | desire to discuss with YOU is this
and it is the only question you and
l are interested in. What is the rene
dy? For l undertake 10 say that there
is not a man within the sound of my
voice, if he can be assuered of the
remedy. who will not by his vote apply
the remedy. Now the only way to as
certain the remedy for this present
condition of things is to ascertain the
cause, or the source. of the difficulty.
If we know what occasioned this con-
dition. we have no difficulty in apply
ing the remedy, and in doing this we
must be sober-minded. We ought to
diagnose the situation as a skilled phv-
stefan would. If a member of you fami-
ly were i'll, and YOU called a physician,
and that physician should say: This
patient is very i'll. l don't know what
it the matter. but he is awful sick. and
any change may help him. He can't
be n worse. and l will give him the
first thing l lay my hands ONT may
make him better''-you would ask that
physician for his bill and discharge
him.
Now tonight l want to discuss with
you the cause Of this condition. There
is no question about what it is. Indi-
viduals understand what it is-the

Note that the increase in produc-
tion has been accompanied by q steady
decline in price. The two things have
gone together. There have been fluc-
tuations from year to year, but the in
crease year by ear in the production
has been accompanied by fall in
price. 1t will be noted that the occa-
sional decrease in the column showing
the american production played but a
small part in affecting the worlds
price.
The decline in the price from 1873
to 1876 was light. The production had
decreased, but Germany had thrown
a vast quantity of silver upon the mar
ket. Other mints were open, however,
and in 1873 France coined S30,000,000
and Belgium s2O,0O0,OO0. The result
was that serious apprehensions were
excited that year, and in January, 1874,
the Latin Union limited the coinage of
five-franc pieces. Then the price went
down until the passage of the Bland
act, which caused another advance.
Germany took advantage of this boom
to sell 25,000,000 ounces in 1878, clos
ing out it's stock the next year. From
1878 to 1881 the production increased
but little, and the market remained
comparatively steady, Notwithstanding
the suspension of coinage by the Latin
Union. Another radical fall began in
1885, coincident with the worlds big
increase Of production. A speculative
rise was caused in 1890 by the passage
Of the Sherman act, which was expect
ed to take al the American product,
but the price dropped swiftly, while
production went on increasing.
No law can raise the price of silver
while the production is so enormous
Free coinage would only stimulate
production, and the price would fall,
as it did under the Sherman law.
In this connection we will give the
commercial ratio of gold and silver,
from the tables in the report of the
director of the mint, at periods of five
years for century, beginning with
the date of the first United States
coinage act

NO LACK OF SILVER.
Volume of AIonsy Has Not Ruled the
Price Of Wheat.

Price Of Wheat.
One of the most frequently repeated
assertions of the friends Of silver is
that the lack OF silver money has
caused the fall In the price of wheat
and other farm products, and that the
addition of more silver to our currency
would bring the price of wheat up to
81 per bushel, or more. They indig-
nantly deny that this would be be-
lause of the depreciation of silver as a
standard of value, but say that the mere
addition of more money to the circu-
lating medium Of the country would
cause prices to advance.
Here is a table which shows the
amount Of silver money in the country
In each year since 1871, and the average
price Of wheat in each year. It will be
seen that the amount Of silver money
in the United States in 1895 was twelve
times as much as in 1871, and that the
price of wheat when we had the most
silver money was just two-fifths what
1t was when silver was one-twelfth Of
the amount which we have today. Does
this look as though more silver money
in the country" would make prices
higher?

OIL AT MARSH RUN.
A Berea Grit Well FIVE Milss up the

A Berca Grit Well Five Miles up the
MuslSingum.
Definite information was received
Friday of the striking of a Berea sand
we'll in rank wildcat territory within
fiye miles of this city. The new strike
is located on the farm of Frank Weber
on Marsh Run, five miles up the Mus
kingum and is estimated as 25 barrel
producer. The Berea sand was found
at 1916 feet. The well was shot Thurs
day and filed up 600 feet with oil, with
good gas pressure.
Some time ago a well known citizen
of this city secured leases in the Marsh
Run neighborhood aggregating 240O
acres and Immediately organized a
company of Marietta business men to
test it. This we'll is the outcome of
the venture. 1t is no fake, but exactly
what is claimed for it--a small pro.
ducer in the Berea. Should it result in
the development of a new Berea field
it not only brings fortune to its own
ers, but means much for the business
interests of Marietta.

SILvER'S PRICE.
What Caused 1t to Fall From

RATIO OF GOLD AND SILVER

From 1903 to 1s03-As the Production
of Silver Went Up Its Price Went
Down, While Gold Kept In the Mid
die of the Road All the wny-Foily
For This Country Alone to Attempt
Free Coinage at Any I,atio.&
There are thousands of voters in
this country, says the Toledo Blade,
who believe that the fall in the price
of silver since 1S69--for 1t began be-
fore 1878, and before any nation had
dropped it's use as full money metal
was because of such Legislation. And
the plea is made by the silverites that
if we restore it as a money metal its
price will rise to s1.29 per ounce at
once.
Even If the drop in the price of sill
yer bullion were due to this legisla-
tion-which it is not-how couldits re-
storation by the United States alone
raise the price to the old level. We
have 100000 people. The countries
of Europe which have dropped silver
alone have a poulation of 21S,000,0
India has 220,000,000. How can the
action of 100000 reverse the action
of 438,000, ,000-over six times as
many?
But the main factor in the fall of
silver is simply its increased produc-'
ton. To show that this is correct VIC
reprint the following table from tts
current number of Dun's Review. I,

United States and of the world, and
