In looking for information upon any
business subject, there is no better
plan than to apply TO those who have
practically studied that business sub
ject, and solved it with success and
profit. James B. Colgate of New York,
whose firm has dealt in silver bullion
for thirty-one years, was asked the
cause Of the decline in silver bullion,
the effect OF the act of 1873, and the
probable effect of a free coinage act.
lie replied that over production caused
the decline, the price of gold and silver
being regulated by tho same trade laws
that make the price of wheat, cotton,
iron, &c., and that the act of 1873 had
no effect. Free coinage, he thought,
might temporarily advance the price OF
silver.
Zimmerman & Forshay, who have
handled more than l75 600, 600 ounces
of silver during the past sixteen years,
attribute the decline in the price OF
silver bullion to the large production,
the closing OF the India minis and the
dissolution of the Latin Union. The
act of 1878, they think, had some nd.
verse effect, although silver would have
declined without that, for the reasons
previously stated. or the effect of {
free coinage law they say: at woulc
bring the price of silver bullion t.
l.29 per ounce, payable in silver coin.
of the present weight and fineness, th,
purchasing power of which it would b,
impossible to foretell" In otheI
words, the silver dollar would be wortl
100 cents in silver, the government
fiat assuring that; but how man cent
in gold it would be worth is, as MIR
kipling would say, another story.
Tho opinions Of the expert dealers il
bullion do not afford much comfort II
the advocates of free silver. who thinl
the opening of the mints would max
sixteen ounces of silver worth as mucl
as one ounce of gold, The facts, tn
figures, and the experience Of success
full business men all point unerringl
in the opposite direction.
