"HELPINGv SILVER.

The United Otates mas dOne
much to increase the use of silver
as money, and has attempted to
stop the decrease in the bullion
price of that metal. In 1877 the
United States produced 100000
ounces Of silver, and in 1878 this
country authorized the coinage of
over $4,000, 900 a month. During
the next twelve wears the monthly
coinage varied from $4,000, 900 to
SO, 100000 a month. When this
coinage law was passed in 1878, it
provided a government market for
most of the silver mined in the
United States, and it was expected
that this demand would hold up
the price. As stated, the produc-
ton in 1877 was 80, 100000 ounces
in the United States, and the
price per ounce was $1.20. The
produc tion of silver increased so
that IN 1889 the amount produced
in the United States was 50,00O,.
900 ounces, and the price had fal.
len to SO cents an ounce. This
fall was notwithstanding the
coinage by the United States of
from $27, 900, 900 to $35, 100000 OF
silver coins every year. So the
silver mine owners demanded that
something more be done for silver
and in response law was passed
in 1890 providing that the United
States should buy $4,000 600
ounces of silver a year. That
was more than this nation ever
had produced in a year, and it was
confdential]y expected that this
would hold up the price. It did
raise it for short time, but it
also increased the production in
the United States. In 1890 the
price averaged $1.04 an ounce, and
the production increased. Then
the price began to fall, and in 1892
the production had reached &c.
600, 900 In the United States, and
the price had fallen to 81 cents an
ounce. Paper money Of the gov.
eminent was issued for all this
purchased silver, and it began to
be doubtful if the government
could contin ue issuing the paper
money and keep it at par with
gold. In 1893 the silver purchase
law was repealed, as the artificial
market had utterly failed to main.
tain the price of silver, and issues
of paper money had endangered
the nations credit. When the
purchase stopped the price fell
rapidly, until it is now about IS
cents an ounce, and the production
in this country is again less than
50, 600, 900 ounces a year.
Now the free silvarites de-
mand that all the silver that has
been produced or can be produced
shall be made into dollars on the
basis that it is worth $1.29 an
ounce. The government cannot
maintain the parity Of gold and
silver with unlimited coinage Of
silver, and there is not an instance
in history to indicate that it can.
Free silver coinage means that all
our money be based on silver. It
is besides that the sdoption Of q
1uctuating and lower standard Of
money, and will destroy credit and
confidence, and all hope Of early
returning prosperity.

For twenty years the silver mine
owners of the Western states have
been demanding legisla ton in the
interests of silver. Practically
no silver circulated in this country
after 1884, and gold was the actual
and recognized standard. Only
after the production of Western
silver mines became very large,
and silver became cheap, did the
demand for silver money became
urgent. The represen ;atives of
these mining states in congress
and the senate had power enough
to force friendly" legislation at
different times, but when the ques-
tion came between absolutely 60.
ing to the silver standard or
retaining the gold standard of this
country for the past sixty years,
and the standard Of all the leading
nations, the Republican party
:defed the silver mine owners, and
declared against-a deprecated and
fluctuating currency. The declar-
alton was not against the use of
silver as money but against it's use
to such an amount and at such a
ratio that it would drive gold out
Of circulation, and place the
nation 8. finances on a silver basis.
The silver mine owners then left
the Republican party. and joined
with the Populists and office seek.

elements are fighting the Repub.
lican party in It's stand for honest
money, national honor, and the
best interests of the workingmen
and producers. Nearly all bust.
ness interests are arrayed with the
Republican party, because the
welfare of business and commerce
certainly depends upon the pros.
perity Of the laborers and farmers.

ERROR WILL PERSIST.

ERROR WILL PERSIST.
In Bryan's speech in Boston a
few days ago the Popocrat can.
didate for president said that if
the free silverites did not win this
campaign, they woulu continue
the fight. The efforts for a de-
based currency will continue,
regardless of which party wins.
The Populists have for years been
demanding large issues of paper
"money: and they will continue
to demand it, whether the country
goes to a silver basis or remains on
a gold basis. Some men have al.
ways insisted that the government
should provide more money, and the
fact that the nation could keep a
limited amount of paper money at
par with gold is cited by them
as proof that more could be kept
at par. There is always a clash
between the men who claim that
there is danger Of debasing the
currency by over-straining the
credit of the government, and
those who insist upon giving the
national credit little heavier load
to carry. Many nations have
tested their credit with paper
money, and when the government
could not keep it's money at par
with its best money business de.
moralizat1on has always followed.
Even those who urge currency
imitation protest against initiating
it enough to cause depreciation.
The silver men today protest that
free silver coinage of dollars that
now have bullion value of 81
cents will not result in a dollar
cheaper than the gold dollar.
They insist that if this nation will
declare 16 ounces of silver to be of
the same value as 1 ounce of gold,
that that value will at once become
the market value throughout the
world. The market value IS now
81 ounces of silver for 1 ounce OF
gold. Such result from the
declaration Of the United States is
impossible and unreasonable, but
the silver men profess to believe
1t. Richard P. Bland, who was
for wears the leader of the free
silver forces in congress, goes so
far as to declare that at whatever
value the United States would coin
silver, the metal would at once
take that value all over the world.
Their reasoning is either wrong,
or else the value of gold and silver
is entirely creation of law. If
that is true the whole system of
finance of the world has always
been wrong, and the times when
the money system of nations seem.
ed to be the best, they were the
farthest from the correct system,
as now announced by the free
sllverites.
There is no doubt but the con.
test for debased currency will
always continue, but 1t will not
often rise to the Importance in a
campaign that it has this year.
Twenty years ago greenbackism
became a national issue, and was
rightly defeated. The free silver
plan has been maturing for years,
and it has now gained an impor-
lance that requires a positive de-
feat. When it is beaten, as. beaten
it will be, it will be followed
after while by some other propo-
sition for the nation to create
wealth by declaration of law. e
And the honest people of the
country must again be ready to
defeat 1t.
