What France Has Bone.

Yet France, which is only a second
rate power, that manufactures less
tha half as much as Great Britain and
less than one-fourth as much as our
country, a nation which could be carved
out of the single state Of Texas and
leave territory enough to make nearly
eight states as large as Massachusetts
this comparatively little France for
thlrty-nine years, from 1884 to 1878,
controlled the price of silver all over
the civilized world by opening her
minis to the free and unlimited coin
age OF gold and silver at 1914 to /.
And this, too, while the Two greatest
nations of the globe-the United States
and Great Britain-had different mon
etary systems from France. England
had silver demonetized, while the Unit
ed States had a ratio Of 16 to 1.
No man who had silver in London
or New York would take less than he
could get at the French mint minus
cost of transport. This is the reason
that at the time silver was demone-
tized in 1873 it was worth 3 per cent
more than gold, because the French
mint gave this much more for it thar
we did at our ratio of 16 to 1.

According to our census reports the
United States manufactured in 1889
5 9,3S0, 600, 900 worth of goods, or nearly
as much as Great Britain, Germany,
and France combined. According to
the mint reports there are only about
81, 500, 000, 900 of gold and silver both
used as money and bullion in the whole
world. So if all the gold and silver in
the world were dumped into the United
States it would not pay cash for one
years output of our factories by nearly
3d. 00, 000, 900.
But this is not all. We transport by
rail alone 60, 000, 900 tons of freight
more than all the rest of the world
combined transports by rail and by
water both. We produce $500, OOO, 900
more of agricultural products that any
other nation on the globe.
Now, if you add to our manufactures,
our transportation business by rail and
water, our agricultural products, our
real-estate transfers, our mineral prod
ucts and all of our other vast, varied
and rapidly increasing business, all the
gold and silver in the world used as
money and bullion would not pay cash
for 10 per cent Of the business of this
one country. Any share of these metals
which this country can possibly obtain
will not pay 1 per cent.

Cnfairness OF Single Standard

This historical test proves another
thing. 1t shows that a standard COM
posed Of any one metal cannot possibly
be as stable as a standard composed of
two metals. The reason is obvious,
When we have a standard composed
Of only one metal every fuctuation in
the supply of that metal, whether re-
sulting from the output of the miners
or from the %cornering processes of
bankers and brokers, necessarily pro-
vides a corresponding %huctuation in
prices, and the burdens of debtors and
taxpayers and producers, as is the case
nov
On the other hand, when we had a
standard composed of two metals, and
the supply of either increased or di-
mlnlshed people who needed money to
pay debts or embark in enterprises or
for any other Of the many uses for
which money is needed naturally
sought for the cheaper and most easily
obtained. This increased the demand
for this metal and lessened the demand
for the other. Thus under the simple
law Of demand and supply the values
of the two were brought to an equilib-
rum about a fixed point or ratio, which
history proves to have been about 1914
to 1, which was the ratio established
by France.
But in the face of history it is claimed
that this country could not maintain
any ratio by itself unaided by other
countries.
Let us see.

Q.-What do we give in exchange for
the imports noted in the above tables?
A.-The products of our farms and
our factories.
Q.-But in cases where the exports
exceed the imports, what do we receive
to make the balance good?
A.-Nothing whatever.
Q.-That's queer. How do you ac-
count for it?
An this way: We owe a fast for
eign debt OF $4,000, 000, 600, the interest
on which must be paid annually. When
our exports exceed our imports the bal
ance in our favor goes towards paying
Off our interest on our foreign debt.
Q.-Is our excess of exports annually
debt?
A.-No, not by far; our interest
amounts to $3.50, O00, 900 annually in ex-
Gees of exports.
Q.-How do we pay the interest?
An gold.
Q.-Where do we get the gold?
Ave borrow it.
Q.-Cite an instance.
A.-During the past three years the
government has borrowed 1882, OOO, 900
in gold from foreign countries with
which to pay the interest on our for
eign debt.
Q.-Wasn't that 1882, 0OO, 900 for the
purpose of maintaining the gold re-
serve at $100, 900, 1000?
Apparently, yes; but if you will
remember that almost as soon as the
various bond issues were effected the
gold received was quickly withdrawn
from the treasury by holders Of green.
backs who wished to send the money
abroad in payment of interest on for.
eign debts.
Q:-How does this country happier
to owe such a vast sum abroad?
A.-Nearly all our largest industrie,
are owned by foreign capital. TIL,
earnings must be paid annually.
Q.-Can we ever recover these in
dustries?
A.-Not unless we abandon the sin
gle gold standard.
Q.-Why not?

Fake Business Men.

Notwithstanding this conclusive ex-
p%erience, some of our business men"
are frightened out of their wits lest
this country may not be able to accom-
plish what little France did so success
fully and for so many years.
Besides, to wait for England to help
us to restore silver is as idle nonsense
as it would have been for our fathers
to have waited for her to consent to
u independence.
We must force her, as We easily can,
to an international agreement, by max
ing it her interest. The United States
government and it's people owe Eng
land and Europe several thousand mil
lions. II we make these debts payable
in gold or silver, at our option, as
prior to 1873, and open our minis to
the free and unlimited coinage of both
metals, it will be the interest Of GU,
creditors to have the silver, in which
we would pay the greater part of them,
as valuable as any other money in the
world. This conla be done by an inter
national agreement to restore the I'M
limited demand, (which they destroyed
i'll 1873 and 1874. It would not be
twelve months. after we began to pay
in silver before. .England.would be or
ganizing an International congress for
this purpose. ...t
To force Europe and England is much
more becoming the greatest nation on
earth than to be occupying the attitude
of a suppliant, as the republican plat

Silver Bugaboo - What France uas
Done.

Why has silver Deprecated to SO
cents in the dollar?!" and how can the
law restore it to a 1O0-cent dollar?
A witty Jew once said in my pres
ence that Moses got up the first corner
on beef of which history gives an ac-
count. He bought up all the beef cat
tie and then passed a law forbidding
the people to use swine's flesh and
made millions out of the rise of beef"
Even a ten-year-old boy ought to see
that under such a law beef would 20
up and bacon down. Not that the law
directly fixes the value of either, but
by destroying the demand for one and
increasing the demand for the other.
While law cannot fix values it can
create or destroy either demand or sup
ply.
Fol- untold ages prior to 1873 all the
great commercial nations used two
metals as redemption money Except
England for a short time). One was
gold n one was silver. In 1873 and
1874 the great nations destroyed silver
as a redemption money. Thus was de-
stroyed the almost unlimited demand
for silver for this purpose, and increas-
ing the demand for gold. Of course
and inevitably, under the law of de-
man and supply, silver went down
and gold went up, and now gold-stand-
ard men take advantage of this neces-
sary result of their own wrong to dis
credit silver. And during all the ages
that both metals were used as re-
demption or real money their rela-
tive values, no matter what their rela-
tive supplies, did not vary more
than three points, while during the
tWenty-three years since the demand
for silver was cut down their ratio has
changed from 1914 to 1 to 81 to 1.
All that is necessary to restore their
ancient ratio is to restore the ancient
demand for silver as redemption moneyy,
