THE MODERN ALADDIN.
How Bryan Ignores the Experience
Of This and Other Nations with
Free Coinage.

Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
free coinage of silver, by our govern
ment alone, at the ratio of 16 20 4,
would raise the price of silver to S1.29
per ounce; and he never tires of alleg-
ing that our government is strong, and
rich, and powerful enough to accomplish
this result without waiting or asking for
the cooperation of any other country.
In making this prediction Mr.. Bryan
ignores the experience of this and other
nations of the world in regard to the
coinage of silver during the past 100
years; but wniying that, let us see what
his proposition involves.
l presume it will be conceded by Mr..
Bryan and his adherents that the price
of silver bullion in this country cannot
be affected without at the same time
affecting it everywhere, and that the
rise in the price will apply to all silver,
whether in bars or wares as well as in
coin, throughout the world.
The figures ! shall give, except those
showing the production Of silver since
1892. are all taken from a report sub
mitted by Mr.. Voorhees,, a free silver
4 ocate, on behalf of the finance COM
mittee of the Senate, March 8, 1894,
which report is entitled Coinage Laws
of the United States from 1892 to 1894,
with an Appendix Relating to Coins and
Currency; Fourth Edition, Revised and
Corrected to August !. 1904. Prepared
Under the Direction of the Committee"
uAcs S,cdssi,o to q that rePoTt; gage ~, gzs,
from 1893 TO 1892 amounted to 1922
5O7. ZIG ounces. and there has beer pro-
duced since 1892 about 600, 100000
ounces in round numbers. Add this TO
the other sum and we have a total of
S.122, 507, T16 ounce i have no data
showing the production of silver prior to
1893. and hence l cannot give the fig
ures; but / think ii may be safely as
sumed that it amounted to MS much rs
the whole amount of silver that has been
lost or destroyed. In order to be sure
that we are on the right side, however,
let us deduct 122,5 07. Sl6 ounces, and
state the present supply Of silver in its
various forms In the world at S,006.-
