Billings Times.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-08-22

The general disposition Of the Bryan
campligners is to overlook all the
years of prosperity that the country
had from 1879, when specie payments
were resumed, to 1890 when the sher-
man silver act was passed, and to con-
slider only the later years Of hard times,
which they ascribe 10 the demonetiza-
tion of silver in 1873. Obviously, If any
inference at all is to be drawn from
that act. it is fair to say the years Of
prosperity are due 10 II rather than the
years Of adversely, since they are
nearer to it in point Of time. Mr.. j.
Selwin TAFT, in one Of his PLAIN Talks
on Money Matters" takes occasion to
show that the price Of wheat was
maintained at the average Of rs cents
gold per bushel on the farm from 1862
70 1880 and that it is only since the
last named year that a serious decline
has taken place. The figures are found
in Senate Document No. 3O6 Of the pres
ent congress, and are obtained from the
returns to the agricultural department
from the four states Of Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, and Nebraska. The varia-
tions in price were very slight for
twenty-eight years, beginning with 1862
and ending in 1890, the highest price
on the farm being So cents, and the
bwest being 71h. In 1880 the price
dropped to 50 and has averaged 59.3
since.

THE DEMoNETIzArIoN OF GOLD.


An argument much used by the al
vocatt Of free silver coinage is tina
II gold were demonetized, as silver ha
been, that, too. would depreciate Il
value as silver has done. They sa,
that Tree coinage and the legal tende
quAlit give It a proportion Of its value
and consequently If It is deprived o
these II cannot be SO useful nor 50 val
liable.
The conclusion from this argument /:
that &. is because free coinage and th'
legal tender quality have been taker
from silver that the latter metal ha:
SO greatly deprecated in value. Silver
they aay. has been wiokedly and Grim
inally demonetized and thus robbed OF
its u efulness and large part Of It's
value Had gold been treated in the
same way il would have suffered in the
same way.
The assumption is not true. Gold
needs neither a government stamp nor
a government law TO make it pass cur
rent the world over. Wherever marts
Of commerce exist. wherever men are
engaged in the business Of exchanging
services or commodities, in barbarous
as well as in civilized lands. there gold
no matter what its form. If only it can
be handled, win effect these exchanges
Ii may have to be tested or weighed
by the parties themselves, but II needs
no law TO make it pass current when
ITS weight and fineneSs have been as
eertained and that it is all the govern
ment stamp does. So long as gold is
an object Of desire among men, so long
viii il be used as money.
The early California times fully illus
trate this Gold dust passed current
there in the early fifties. and it was
declared at a public meeting in San
Francisco that an ounce Of gold dust
should be valued at SIG.
Before the government mint was es-
tabHs1ed private coiners Of gold issued
coins for convenience. and these passed
current among the people II is said
that S5O,O0O.Oo0 Of private coins were
str lc,5 of between the years 1850 and
1854. when the government mint com
menc d operations, and certain Of these
coins struck OF by Mofat & Co.. con-
tinuel to circulate even after that be-
cause the people had confidence in
them.
Thus it required neither a govern
ment stamp nor the legal tender quail
fly &c make these coins circulate.
Tha the legal tender quality adds no
value is evident from the fact that our
gold coin is SHIPPED abroad TO pay our
balan ses. interchangeably with gold
bars. In the Bank Of England today
there IS said to be a very large amount
Of American gold coin held on deposit

in the United States, but it is worth
Just . much abroad as it is here be-
cause it is taken by weight, while the
stamp certifes 10 its fneness.
