sre regarded as heretical views. The
opposition to his statements is all the
more energetic because he is teaching
the theological students at the Baptist
seminary the same thing.
1t is expected that when the trustees
of the seminary hold their annual meet
ing in Chattanooga the subject will be
brought up and DR.. Whitsitt may be
taken severely to task for his utterances.
DR.. Whitsitt has had an interesting
career. He was born near Nashville in
1S41. He was graduated from Union
university in 1881. The same year he
entered the Confederate army as a pri-
vate and was soon afterward promoted
TO chaplaincy, in which position he
served until the close of the war. He
was twice captured and confined In mil
itary prisons for about year. In 1866
he entered the University of Virginia
and studied for two years in the South
ern Baptist Theological seminary. He
also spent two years in study in Berlin
and Leipsic On his return to America
in 1879 he accepted passionate in AL
bany, Ga, and soon after became q
member of the faculty of the seminary
as professor of Biblical introduction and
ecclesiastical history. On the death Of
DR.. Broadus he became president.

up a lively air and all went along

A Few Facts.

From the time this government was
established downto 1879 there was free
coinage of silver at a fixed ratio with
gold. That ratio was at first i to l
and later the ratio was changed to l6
to 1 to conform more closely to the
commercial or market value ratio al
thought was neveraccurate enough TO
keep gold and silver in circulation
side by side, During all this time,
when the population had increased ten
fold there was coined by this govern
halves. quarters and smaller coins
The population has not doubled
since 1878 but this government
has in that time about quad
rupled its silver coinage. Silver
is legal tender. 1t performs all the
functions as money. a silver dollar is
worth only about SO cents as bullion
but it passes side by side with gold
dollar because the government has
made it exchangeabe through GUS
toms for gold In 1873 there was coined
only 10 cents per capita. The next
year it was 16 cents; in 1875 it jumped
to 80 cents and the next year it went
to "a cents and held about there In
1890 it was 63 cents for each individual
in the country and in 1894 it was larg-
er per capita than in 1873. In that
time and despite the enormously in
creased amounts of silver coined the
market ratio of silver went down as
compared with gold from 1882 to / in
1873 to ESQ to in 1894. The free sill
Yer advocate can't deny these figures.
His only reply. and one which he does
not for he simply cannot prove, and
~ known as horse sense is that de
monetizins" silver has robbed it of
value Not only has the government
taken four times as much of the sill
yer mine owners product in the past
% years as was taken by the govern
ment in all the previous 81 years but
it has made that silver pass for it's
face value by making it as good as
gold. But if free coinage be had the
government will simply say that 50
cents worth of silver is as good as
gold but will make no provision to
make it as good as gold for the as
sumption that free coinage is to
double the value of silver is the most
Utopian nonsense yet advanced. 1t is
far more incredible than the claim

made by these same silver men in 1873
market price of silver for the govern
ment to coin not less than s., 900 900 a
month. That claim then seemed plaus-
IDLE but what was the result? The
price kept falling. The ratio to gold
in 1873 was 1894 to l and in 1890 when
it was said by these same parties that
if the amount purchased were in
creased it would bring the market
ratio back to 16 to l it was 1916 to L.
This increase was made. The govern
ment which purchased but ~ 1875, 35S
fine ounces of silver the year before
doubled its purchases so that in 1891
and 1892 it purchased each year more
than $4,000 900 fine ounces. The mar
ket price still went down; the ratio
descending from 1916 to ! in 1890 to
1872 in 1892. While the price of silver
has been steadily declining there have
been panics and the best times ever
known in the history of the world
There was wonderful prosperity fol-
lowing the resumption of gold pay
ments in 1879 There was unparalleled
prosperity in 1892 but the signs of
business depression began to be UNI
mistakable months before the repeal
of the law compelling the purchase of
silver. From 1865 to 1873 when there
was free coinage of silver the price of
flour fell more than halfand from 1865
to 1871 the price of corn fell from l02
per bushel to 50 cents, and all the time
there was free coinage of silver so
