mist has calculated that, on the ~
commodities which she chiefly buys
from the United States, the fail OF
Drices from 1878 to 1898 was 80 per
cent. Sauerbeck, the accepted English
authority, takes the average OF 20
commodities in England, and he finds
that between 1873 and February, 1898,
the prices of these commodities nad
fallen 40 per cent. This pcrpendicblar
fall in the prices of these commodities
was the result of the appreciation in
the purchasing power of gold. Taking
the authorities quoted, and we defy
cold standard men to controvert them,
and their calculations show that since
the United States closed it's mints to
the coinage of " grains of standard
silver into a dollar in 1873, up to Janu-
airy, 1896, the purchasing price OF gold
in Germany had risen more than 40
per cent while in England it had risen
over rs per cent.
The burden this has imposed upon
the producing nations OF the world
such as the United States, can only
be computed IN blood and tears II
has doubled the debt Of all who owe
fixed liabilities; it has diminished tue
profits Of labor and limited the oppor-
tunities for it's use.
While manufactured products have
not fallen as yet in the United States
as rapidly in price as the products of
the farm, the mine and the forest,
the turn of these products is now
come The appreciation of gold has
only begun. Up 10 now India, even
though her minis were closed TO the
free coinage of silver in 1893 has been
practically on a bimetallic basis. Her
products have been in competition
with our agricultural commodities
and she has had the advantage of the
surviving benefits of bimetalllsm to
enable her to suffer less than ourselves
from the competition.
She is now reaching out for her
share of the gold of the world. Five
ninths of this supply, or about $2,600,-
100000, belongs to the United States,
England, France and Germany. And
yet the combined population of all
these countries together is not equal
to India's. To grant her an adequate
supply of gold will enhance its price
fully 40 per cent more, and to get this
means further fall in prices of this
amount on all commodities in the Uni
ted States. India and all other produc-
ing countries.
The relation of prices to the money
standard, or the value of the metal
which fixes this standard, can not APP
preciate without a corresponding de-
cline in prices if one metal alone is
employed. The increased supply of
gold can not keep pace with the in
creased demand. The volume of the
standard metal cannot increase CORE
spondingly with its value. To main
tain one metal alone as the measure of
value for mankind is to place that
metal on the block and make all man
kind the bidders at a DEVILS auction
with England for the auctioneer.

THE JACK CADE TALK.

Jack Cade's reform propositions
were more blunt and brutal than
those of the Bryan platform, but
in the last analysis of the two
schemes there are few points of
difference. Why, then, should
reasonable mortals object to a
coupling of the two reformers'
names in print ?''-Commercial Adj

This is printed to show the estimate
in which the great majority of the

money question. Most men are homes

to make anarchists and Jack Cadei

Mr.. Gambler who is one of the fore

A SENSIBLE WoRKINGMAN.

A short while ago some employers
in Chicago thought it would be a
funny thing to pay their employees off
in Mexican money as an object lesson
to prove that our silver dollars are
worth their face value because in the
United States 'every dollar is as good
as a gold dollar"
One of the workmen went home and
thought the matter over. The result
was that he wrote letter to the
Times-Herald proposing that since
Greenbacks, Treasury notes, bank
notes, silver certificates and silver coin
are said to be exchangeable in gold,
that this statement ought to be proved
to the American people by something
more convincing than the Mexican
silver dollar object lesson. To do this
the writer of the letter proposed the
following plan:
Announce that from now until
the close of the campaign the
banks will exchange gold coin for
any form of circulating United
States money. Select a number of
representative business men like
Mr.. Armour, Marshall Field and
others, and announce that arrange
ments have been made by which
anyone having currency to the
amount of SIS, or any exact multi
ple of the same, can, upon demand,
be accommodated with gold coin.
Such an object lesson will effectu
ally silence the silver fanatics, re-
store confidence, and insure the
triumph of sound money"

Tt seems that the Missouri gold
standard Democrats have inaugurated
an active and systematic campaign
to prevent the reelection of Senator
Vest. They have dropped all other
plans and are concentrating their
forces for a combined assault on him,
hoping thereby to break the backbone
of the silver cause in that State. Their
plan is to endorse and vote for only
legislative candidates who are opposed
to the Missouri silver leader, no matter
what the views of those candidates
are on finance or other questions of
politics. But their little game won't
work.
