The YanktCn Free Pressc, German,
thus sums up the argument against free
silver:
Flrst-There is no advanced CONNER
cial nation 10 the world which has free
coinage.
Second-There is no nation in the
world which has free silver coinage that
has a per.capita circulation Of over S..
Third-The circulation of the United
States is over S2l now, OF SIG more than
any Of the above nations.
Fourth-The circulation 10 the United
States per capita is now immensely great
er than the circulation Of any silver coun-
try.
FIfth-Our silver dollar, which is based
on gold, buys today more flour, sugar,
coffee, hardware, clothing, calico or any
dress goods han in 1873.
Sixth-By just crossing the line into a
free silver country Mexico we can
buy two of theirs Notwithstanding that
the Mexican dollar has just as much
weight OF silver in it as the American:
Seventh-Notwithstandinp low prices
for produce, the farmer can buy now
double lhe amount OF merchandise he
could buy in 1873 with a given amount
OF produce.
Elghth-The mechanic and laborer can
buy today twice as many necessaries Of
life as he could when the "crime of 1879
was perpetrated. and the have
not been,reduced. The buying value OF
the silver dollar has augmented very
materially.
