When in the market for merchandise
they ask for samples and before plac-

they are not looking for the cheap

The San Francisco call., 1896-08-24
A BRYAN DISCOVERY.

For once a great economic truth has
penetrated the mind of Mr.. Bryan. He
says: "If the cost of producing gold
should be reduced 80 per cent without
any increase in the output, the purchasing
power of an ounce of gold would not fall. ="
What Mr.. Bryan says the world has
known always, but it is none the less true
because it has only just now reached Mr.
Bryan's understanding. The presump-
ton has been in all ages of the world that
it was the quantity of the precious metals
produced and not the cost OF their produc-
ton that fixed their status as money
metals. 1t is of no consequences what 1t
costs to deliver gold to the gold market,
nor is it of any consequences what 1t costs
to deliver silver to the silver market. 1t
is what can be obtained in the market for
them that fixes their purchasing power.
And, again, the cost of producing the
metals is not alike in any two mines, nor
does the buyer of them in the market care
what the cost to market them is. 1t Is
their value as commodity that be deals
with.
1t is the fact. too. that If the cost of pro-
ducing the metals exerted any influence
value there would be about as many prices
for gold and silver as there are gold and
silver mines. The purchasing power OF
anything is regulated by the supply of it
and the demand for it. The principle which
commerce adopts in determining what 1t
shall use for redemption money is that
that which it adopts shall be limited in
quantity and for which the demand shall
be unlimited. That is the very essence OF
the philosophy and science of money. The
metal or metals which commerce adopts
for redemption money is as much an
article of barter, either in bullion or coin,
as potatoes, but for convenience COM
merce makes certain bullion or coin a
common article of barter-that is, it is re-
ceived that article in exchange for every
other article but unless commerce sane
tions the use of an article as common
article of barter it is deprived OF univer-
salty of exchange value.
The Repu blican party does not under
take to equalize the cost of producing
either gold or silver, but inasmuch as COM
merce has outgrown the old volume of
gold money and is in need of a large in
crease of redemption money, the party
proposes to have commerce make silver
dollars common article of exchange with
all the redemption power that gold has.
The Republican party believes that the
volume OF redemption money should BEEN
larged in an amount equal to the produce
ton of silver, but it does not think it wise
to undertake it independent OF commerce,
because commerce is supreme in authority
when it comes to saying what shall constr
tute redemption money. That the Repub-
lican party will have silver added to the
world s money metal there is no doubt,
but it will secure the cooperation and con-
sent of commerce before the final decree
goes forth.
