Practically the only real argument at
the command of the advocates, uf free
silver is the recent iail in prices. This
argument is thus plausibly put by
Wharton BariSer's American:
In 1873 wheat sold at II 10 S-lu a bushei
in 1888 at JO.y cents. In 1879 the farmer real
Hed "Ii cents per buShel for corn. % q
cents for rye and 33l cents for oats In
lSsi he received but PA cents for corn. ~
cents tor rye io.9 cents for oats. In 1879
J3 bushels Of wheat would have paid 4
thousand dollars of interest on his indcbt-
odneSs or redeemed Il thousand dollar
bond. In 1875 II would have taken 1866
bushels. And of corn 1t would have taken
3ISS bushels in 1895 when II took =, ,GG7 hush
els in 1919, of rye 2.275 bushels; to cancel
Indebtedness of Il thousand dollars when
II took but LIZA In 1879 and of oats sos in
place OF 3,U2l. Looked at in another way,
an average Held Of SSH acres planted
equally with corn, wheat. Iye ana oats
produced crops in 1879 of the value of
S,0VJ or sufficient to redeem a thousand
dollars of Indebtedness In 1893 il woLid
have taken the entire product of Il field
of lJ3 l-3 acres to raise the same thousand
dollars to redeem the same bond that the
expenditure of labor and energy spent ON
field of ssh acres would have sutiiced
to raise in 1879. And f We look a il from
the standpoint of the planter we find that
TO pay Il thousand dollar bond in lS4-5 it
would have taken the product of 91ia acres
of cotton, whereas in 1s1s-19, 90 acres
would have suiiiced.
The point raised by the American, and
by all free coinage men, is that the rea-
son why wheat, corn, oats. rye and cot
ton have fallen since 1879 uhe year fol-
lowing the resumption of specie pay
ments, when the gold standard first
took practical effect in this country is
because gold lin which prices are meas
uredD has risen. This has been effec-
tually disproyed. as we pointed out on
Saturday, by the researches of the AL
drich senate committee, which investi-
gated the course Of prices on 232 arti-
cles including all the staple agrcul-
tural products, and found that although
there has been q net decline i'm the last
thirty years amounting to per cent,
the decline in silver was over 50 per
cent. In other words, silver is shown to
be not a safe measure of value. for even
If the S per cent. general decline dis
covered by this special senate commit

cline caused by an s per cent. appre-
ciation of gold. instead of the result of
cheapened processes, lowered freights,
and cverproducton, we might better
have an Der cent. upward change in
our money standard in thirty years
than a AZ per cent. downward change
such as marked the course of silver. BY

and hence pronounced a menace to COM
Tnercial interests. The reader OF con-
grsssional debates OF SO and ~ the IN

well remembers the repeated assertions
OF Mckinley, Reed and others of the house
and OF Aldrich, All BON and others Of the
senate that the Mckinley bill, If enacted
into law. would reduce the receipts from
duties and imports to an amount between
fifty and sixty millions of dollars. and

which SO stupeiied our Democratic friends.
As matter of statistical record, Mr.. Nc
kin!ey was correct, for the first tull year

But notwithstanding the reduction
above mentioned that great economic
measure provided for the wants of our
government ami enabled the Harrison ad

Democratic congress repealed the Nc

But look for a moment at the morals
Involved in the Americans argument.
The American says in effect, speaking
for farmers to the men from whom the
farmers have borrowed money: Cen

money from you seventeen years ago,
agreeing to repay you in full. But in

but repudiation? If it be right to force
the creditor to take one-half his due in

write earnestly of the decrease Of reve-

read the caption of the Mckinley law they
would find about these words: "a bill

The strongest reason for the bill was
