SOCRATES AND SILVER.

silver literature is being issued by
the British Bimetalllc League. The
following is a sample:

silver to geld was as ] to "a; on the
Friday Ofthe same week, it was as
l tO30, yOar seventy cent dollar"
had in four days become a fifty cent

ola certain foreign country, India
mot a first rate country in point OF
trade had been closed. Presumably
then had the India mnts reopened
on that Friday, che ratio would have
reverted from Ito 30, to 1 to "a before
the following Wednesday. Nov let
me ask those who object to free coin
age ir the United States what would
have seen the effect il on that same
Wednesday you had opened your
minis 70 the flee oOinaged silver: II
India single BANDED had been able to
raise the ratio 20 per ce4t-that is
from l to 30 To to "a by free coinage,
would not the additional support OF
the United States have carried the
ratio to to l6, rise of 3. per cent
more; and if the United States could
not have accomplished this through
free coinage will somebody explain
why?
The great difficulty am aware, as
TO this silver question, is to divert
mems minds of their furious prejudi.
ces. 1t is by playing upon the
prejudices and passions Of honest aud
honorable men, that the one class
now becoming rich and powerful by
the misfortunes Of the other classes,
has been and still is able to thwart
every measure ofmouetary ieform. I
am painfully aware of this difficulty
