A fair idea IS here obtained Of the stand

the coinage question. The whole thing
with Wall Street is a gambling business.
Currency laws are instruments to produce
margins on speculative investments.
Whatever coinage law produces the latest
speculative margins for Wall Street is

And whatever law does not enrich Wall

They will not be paid. 1t is not in

story Of ancient Rome be told over
again. The plebians will go down to

the corrupt and thieving Senate.

A CUNNING FRAUD EASILY An
s VERED.

Mr.. J. j. Aarrestad, Of the Mime
apolis Normal College, sends US the
following clipping and asks US to no.
tice it editorially.
The total amount of the coinage of
silver by our government in the 100
years existence OF the United States
prior to 1878 amounted to only $SU45.-
e3S. Since that time our silver coin
age fOots up the enormous total Of
9,333,20 Our silver friends are
fond OF talking about the silver dollar
being "struck down" in 1873. The
fact is the government has coined
just about as much silver daily since
1877 as it did in a year prior to that
GATE. II silver has anything to do
with existing financial troubles it
aces not take d veIy penetrating
mind to perceive that possibly we
have gone too far in this direction.
The more we coined under existing
circumstances the worse off we be-
came.
This is an adroit piece Of misrepre-
sentation. 1t omits to state that our
silver mines were practically un-
known until after the civil war; and
We had to dep.nd upon the silver of
other countries, which came to us
coined, and which our government
made legal tender. We can remem-
Der that when we we're a boy nearly
all the silver in circulation was Next

Spanish milied dollar as the basis and
unit Of our money. We had little Sill
yer Of our own m ming coined prior to
1878. but we had large supply of sill
yer in. circulation, from Mexico, Peru,
Chilli and Central America. Even the
five franc pieces of France were made
legal tender by the act of Congress OF
June 25, 1884.
From 1861 to 1879 neither gold nor
silver was in circulation in the United
States.
Nevertheless, according to a table
on page 1874, of the Chicago Daily
Almanac for 1896, and bas,d on the
highest authorities, it appears that.
taking the whole world over the pro-
ductioh of silver was much greater
than that Of gold. The figures stand

II this sum is deducted from the TO-

So that while the United States
mined but little gold prior to 1878, be-
cause the treasures Of the mountain
regions of Nevada, Montana, ETC., had
not yet been discovered, we had no
difficulty in getting an ample supply
of silver from the rest of the world,
and naturalizing it as our own.
A similar table might be made up
to show that our production of figs
and oranges was vastly greater in the
last forty years than in the first forty
years of the century, and there fore
that we we're producing too many figs
and oranges today; when the truth
is that our settlements did not
reach the regions capable of produc-
ing such fruits, until long after the
establishment Of our government. and
therefore we raised none at first: and
now we are not raising half as much
as is necessary.
The fellow who wrote that adroit
piece of misrepresentatio n, with
which we head this article, tries to
give the idea that silver has been de-
monetized because it has been pro-
duced in excess i've and unreasonable
quantities. But on page 1876, of the
work just quoted, it appears that the
total amount Of the gold and silver
coinage, 'of the United States, from
1892 to 1895, was as follows:
Total gold coinage. 81, Ill, $3.50, 2SS. 90
Total silver COINAGE. 675, ,221. 80
1t thus appears that the gold coin
age Of the United States exceeds the
silver coinage, in 1903 years, more than
a billion dollars!
And the author of the said extract
practices another fraud upon the pub
lie. He tells us that from 1873 to the
present time the coinage of silver was
$40, 333, POS, and then he says:-"Our
silver friends are fond of talking
about the silver dollar being struck
down in 1873" etc thus leaving the
impression that the $419, 333, 2OS of sill
yer coinage was all standard silver
dollars. The truth is that there must
be deducted from that amount the
following quantities of silver turned
into Su hS idiarv cOin.
