yer dollar out of the coinage. provided for
in the act of 1878. was before the American
people Tor more than two years. The de-
bate upon its passage In the House and in
the Senate occupied several columns OF
the congressional proceedings. Up to the
time of this alleged characterization of sill
yer the government had. during its entire
existence, coined less than nine million Of
silver dollars. Under the Bland-Allison act
OF 1878 the government authorized the
coinage of the standard silver dollar and TO
restore its legal-tender character
This act was to resuscitate the declining
value of silver. 1t was to place IL side by
with gold as part OF the redemption
money of the United States. Let il be re-
membered that silver had been demone-
tiZed by the act of 1853 and that the legis-
lation of 1873 was based on the fallacy that
tuted for deprecated paper. The silver
dollars coined before this enactment,
amounting TO between eight and nine mil
lions of dollars. had long before disap-
peared from circulation The decline in
the value of silver was consequent upon
exceed the demand for its use. European
nations omitted it from their coinage laws.
They dropped il because they. had already
as much silver money as their people de-
manded. They dropped 1t because. they
knew that no amount of coming of this
metal could arrest its further decline If
increased production continued.
But ii is impossible to cover the whole
ground in a single desultory speech. Let
us go back TO the alleged crime of 1873.
