Wages and Silver.

From April 1, 1898, just pre-
vious to the repeal of the Sher-
man purchasing law, silver
bullion had fallen to April 1,
1896, just 1926 per cent. In the
same time commodities have
fallen, according to Bankers
general index numbers for 100
principle commodities, as COM
piled from Bradstreets, just
1852 per cent.
Now Mr.. Spahr in his work
on the Distribution of Wealth
says, after examining all the
statistics obtainable, many of
which he quotes:
I'm short, we find historically in
every branch of industry that the
money wage of laborers depend
upon the money value of the pro-
duct of their labor. There is no
falser doctrine than that wages can
be raised by the lowering of
prices"
Now what will our gold bug
friends claim: That prices in
this country have not fallen,
though Bradstreets says that
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-10

they would have brought only
$87,O00,000, less by 100000
than were realized in 1895.
There is another point per-
sistently ignored by the gold
men. The development of the
wheat and cotton industries in
the silver countries has resulted
since, and by reason of the de-
preston of the value of silver
bullion. Without cheap silver
the cotton trade of the east
never would have become a
serious competitor of the COT
ton industry of the United
States; nor would the Ameri-
can farmer have found a rival
in the agriculturist of either
Russia, India, Egypt or Argen-
tine. Cheap money is lifting
those countries from C0ndi-
ton of barbarism up the steep
slopes of civilization with
gigantic strides.
The gold standard advocates
boast of the superior civiliza-
ton of the gold countries. The
facts are that what they admire
in the people of the gold coun-
tries is the lamb-like docility
with which we have heretofore
accepted their financial views,
and consented to degrade our
selves for their profit. The gold
standard. in every country
where it prevails, except Eng
land, is beating industry down
towards the conditions of bar
barism from which the free
silver countries are fast emerg-
ing.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-10

they have; that Mr.. Spahr's de-
auctions are wrong, though
common sense teaches every
man that they are right; or
that the fall of silver has had
nothing to do with such fall of
products, though the ratio of
the fall of both coincide within
one quarter of one per cent?
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-10
The Gold Standard and CiviliZa-

Agriculture is the f,1nda-
mental industry of this coun-
try. Over 40 per cent of the
people are directly engaged
therein. Another 20 per cent
engaged in the transportation
and preparation of agricultural
products for the market. And
another 20 in manufacturing
the supplies consumed by those
engaged in that and related in
dustries. In addition to sup
plying the home market with
the products of the farm, gar
den, etc., the agricultural inter-
ests furnish the bulk of ourex-
ports to foreign countries.
Our gold standard friends
claim that the losses resulting
to producers from lower prices
for what they have to sell,
whether products or labor, are
more than compensated for by
the lower prices at which they
can buy supplies.
If this were true as it applies
to domestic exchange, which it
is not, by what stretch of the
imagination can it be applied
to our foreign trade?
We import few products from
silver countries.
We sell almost our entire
agricultural surplus in compe-
tition with silver countries,
and at prices that have fallen
as silver bullion has depreci-
ated.
Goods imported from gold
countries, are not sold in COM
petition with the products of
silver countries, and have not
fallen with silver bullion.
Therefore, it is not surprising
that the official figures show
that our losses for the year
1895, due to the depreciation of
silver bullion, amounted to
$54O,OO0,0O0; and for 1894, to
$47OO00,000, or for the two
years over one billion dollars
more than the same goods
would have brought us at
prices prevailing in 1873 or
1874 when silver bullion was at
par. That we are justified in
claiming this enormous sum to
be a total loss to the American
producers is proven by the
figures relating to the pork
products.
