THE PARITY QUESTION.
Why Silver Dollars Under Free Coin.
age Would Not Be Equal in Value
In (,0lJ.

"The proposition is that If we in this
country shall open our unts to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of IL silver
to l of gold, the use of the money thus
created will make all the silver now in
existence and all the silver yet to be pro-
duced of the value of Sl.2g in gold for each
ounce of silver although at the present
time an ounce of silver is worth only
about - cents in gold.
This is a theory. We had experience
during the year 1864 which throws some
light upon the correctness of this theory.
We had then in circulation in paper
money some So69 coo. go. 1t was the only
money that our people used. That paper
money had some qualities which the sill
yer now proposed would not have: for it
had the promise of the United States to
pay it in gold. 1t also was limited def
nitely in amount. And yet the value OF
that money in gold varied greatly from
month TO month, as follows:

BRYAN,S ROTTEN EGG ARGU.
MENT.

As a contribution to financial and econo-
mic thought the following utterance OF
MIR. Bryan made in Kentucky. is the
most remarkable yet offered even By him:
''If any man in this community would
offer to buy all the eggs produced at .
cents dozen and was able to make good
the offer. nobody would sell eggs for less,
no matter what the cost of production,
whether | cent or > cents a dozen. 30
with silver. Free coinage would establish
the market price of silver at Sl.29, ana no
body would sell it for n cent less.
Why limit the price of eggs to % cents
and of silver to sl.29? If the reasoning is
sound, the price in each case might easily
be doubled, and the consequent benefit TO
the human race correspondingly increased.
And why stop with eggs and silver? Why
not mark up the price of everything you
wish to buy-offer to pay double or treble
what is asked for it, and keep on paying
that price to all comers-hold 1t there?
That's all you have to do-hold it there.
Nobody would sell it for a cent less"
says Bryan. so long as You held 1t. So

forth such thought as this is a candidate
for the presidency of 70,Oc0.00O of people
in the closing years of the nineteenth GEN.

the government to sustain 1t, with no
definite limitation as to the amount Of
such silver money. will put all the silver
in the world now in existence and that

amount of $70o.0O000o of money. with the
credit of the government added to that

REVIEW OF TRADE.
A Disinclination to Produce Much Reyond
 Orders-Faiiures for the Week.

Disinclination to Produce Much Reyond
 Orders-Faiiures for the Week.
 NEW YORK, May 16-R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
 It is now the middle Of May, too late for bus mess change materially until the prospects of the coming crops are assured and definite shape has been given to the presidential con- test by the conventions. Until the future is more clear there is o prudent disinclination to produce much beyond orders or to order be- yond immediate and certain needs. If this waiting spirit prevails two months longer. 1t will crowd into the last half of the year an enormous business if the outlook is then good For the present there is less business on the whole than a year ago, though in some branches more, and the delay following months of de- pression is to many trying and causes numer- ous failures.
 The most fortunate of the chief industries at present is the boot and shoe manufacturer, who is not only shipping to customers within six per cent of the largest number of cases of the first half of May, but is getting many orders, and there are many urgent requests to anticipate orders for June and July delivery, indicating that distribution to consumers has much 6utrun expectations The iron and steel industry, on the other hand. is pronounced as dull as 1t ever has been in it's whole history at Pittsburgh. Failures for the week have been 224 in the United States against 2ll last year, and 33 in Canada against 37 last year.
