The nru..el. Monelary Conference.

Free coinage advocates refer TO the In.
tcrnntlonal monetary conference held In
BRUSSELS, In 1892, 0s committing the
United States to the free coInngc-lG.to-l
fad, They seem TO take II for granted
that II Will not BIO thought worth while
to consult the record.
In the first place the conference wus
called TO see whether II was possible fAr
the chief commercial countries ofthe
world to enter Into an agreement "ionlS.
Ing TO international blmctnllIsm, that IA,
the unlimited coinage OF gold and silver
into money OF full debt-paylng power ut
u fixed ratio In coinage common to all
the agreeing powers" Nothing WINS
said OF tho sacred lG-to-i nv tho
natural" ratio that must be adopted.
The ratio was understood to DO u very
Important part OF the general question,
and nobody suggested that II might be
determined by n liberal use OF new und
pleasing metaphors"
a warning In tho instructions to our
commissioners shows In brief tic spirit
n which the United States entered into
the conference: You should not lose
hight OF the fact that no arrangement
VIII be acceptable to the people or salts
factory TO the government of the United
States which would by any possibility
place this country on Il silver va4ls while
European countries maintain the single
gold standard" Our commissioners
were TO make sure not to get into such n
trap as the p~opOcrats are determined to
wheedlc the country into.
We were willing then, MS we arc now,
TO see what can be done by international
agreement for the more general use of
silver ms money; but We were not willing
then. as sane persons Grp not willing
now. that this country shall be nj the
disadvantage of the silver basis while
Europe sticks TO the gold stapdard.
There is no possible way In which our
connection with the Brussels monetary
conference can be made TO sup
port the free coinage platform
and the metaphorlc ticket that
goes with 1t. The metaphor1c idea
Is that there Is some patriotic merit In
letting Uncle Sam hold the bag for "all
the world and the rest Of mankind"

EprEcr on WAGES.
What Free silver viii DO for the Work.
~

- |H.".. VIZ. '"hhs'ht ..#.a.. IN.
American Wool and Cotton Reporter;
Here Is one argument which has been
advanced recently In favor of free sill
YER by q very prominent southern
man. and we especially commend It
10 the attention OF every person on Il
salary az on weekly WAGES.
Ut seems to me that my fellow Dem
ocrats are blind ] cannot understand
why they hesitate FOL. one moment to
endorse FREQ silver. IA u party we IA
vor the widest possible trade. We
want to push our products into all the
markets OF the world, md the only
thing which stands In tho way OF our
80 doing TX tho high prlcO OF our labor.
Everything that We make Inns como
down In price. But while everything
else has declined In cost, our labor stIll
sticks at the old prices, and there
doesn't seem to he any way 10 bring
labor down, except through some sort
OF q p"rotrHcted revolutions Free silver,
however, would solve the question In an
hour. II wouldn't advance the price of
any Kind OF labor, BECAUSE all labor Is
now ut Imitation prices, and Just as
high M Il would be under any cOndI-
tons, But II free silver were adopted,
We would pay labor In ilfty-cent dol
lars. That would cut labor In two at
once. thus fetching II down to the plane
or everything else. THIS accomplished,
we would be In shape TO successfully
compete with England or any other
country fOrStbG mnrkClg Of tho world.
Therefore, | can't SEQ why our party
does not Mt once and entirely endorse
free silver, because by 10 doing we
should establish Il commercial SUI
prrmacy among the nations of the,
Garth"
We viii not discuss the economic
absurdlty OF the above views regarding
the relation OF prices and wages, but
VIII content ourselves with asking the
wHEc-earnGr how he likes the prus-
poet that Is here outlined. In 1870 the
Index number representing the whole
sale prices Of "A largG number of com
mobiles was 2,GS9: on June %. 1896, Il
was l.9iI. Here rs u drop OF nearly
twenty-clSht per cent. In 1870, the aver
age wngeS pnid 10 each working man
In this country were $780, a year: In
1890. they were $iS5, n gain OF over 80
per cent. Now II the Democratic plat
form means anything. 1t Is that we
should get back to the prices which
prevailed prior to 1879. But the
prominent southern man" whom we
have Just been quoting would. Mt the
same time, leave wages nomlIillly un-
changed practically cutting them In
half. In fRct, the above figures would
seem to hold out little encouragement
OF wages being advanced materially
beyond the present point. In that event.
the wage Garner would suffer untold
hardship.

CAUSE OF Low PRICES,


Monetary Policy.
Boston Commercial bulletin: In tho
campaign OF education which the
sound money men say will be conducted
this fall. they should make II Il point
TO have their orators disubuse the
masses OF the idea that present low
prices are caused by the single gold
standard. Let II he explained to the
people 0t the west and south. that the
principal and only real cause for the
decline In prices. Is the ovcr-produc-
ton which has been going on for years.
In this long continued ovpr-produCtIon
we find the cause OF the trust or trndc
combination. In some industries. thus
threatened with Ovpr-prOductlOn. the
trust idea was conceived AZ Il SURF
means OF c%urtailing production. thus
saving that Industry from loss and pos
siblC ruin.
But In wheat, cotton, corr and pOta-
toes, this method Of curtailIng produc-
ton was impossible of adoption. with
the result. as seen, OF steadily falling
prices. Explain these things 10 the
farmer. and also that in recent years
the wheat production In the Argen-
tines md Russia has grown enormous
ly, resulting IN Il decreased demand for
tho American product for export. Once
diSabuse the western mind that gold
recommendation Is responsible for the
decline In the principle staples and the.
rest will be easy. Figures demonstrate
ing this ovcer-productlon in q great
many lines, were recently published
and are easily obtaIuablc. IT Is over
production that has caused the break
In prices OF bicycles and not because
the manufacturers OF these machines
suffer from gold and desire free silver.

A Poor Argument,

About MS poor an argument as any In
favor OF free silver Is: 1T can't make
matters worse" How does anybody
know 1t can't? The same policy makes
matters very much worse In silver
standard countries. What reason have
we to think that we can escape the like
effects OF like causes? Before we try u
new departure We should make very
sure that it will bring US 4 gain. The
only possible gain in free silver is to
the silver producer, and It would not
rcmnia with him " long as he thinks 1t
would. An honest dollar Is the best
policy fo- everybody.

EFFECT OF FREE SILVER.
Under Cheap Money the Cost OF Living
increases but Wages do Not.

increases nut wages do Not.
The Chronicle gives some Illustrations
Of the effect Of free silver. Coffee i'm
ported in May cost US an average of
l4.3 cents n pound. With n silver dol
lar worth fifty cents. the coffee cost
would be twcnty-seycn cents. Sugar,
instead Of costing two and one-half
cents. would cost about five cents. 1t
was found. some time ago, that coffee
producers In Brazil were getting thirty
cents per pound for coffee. while Uni
ted States importers were only paying
fifteen cents per pound. The difference
was the depreciation in Brazilian cur
rency. In 1867, wages paid In d~eprccIa-
ted currency were not quite three per
cent higher than when paid In gold,
but the prices of 223 articles of daily
consumption were eighteen per cent
higher. In 1866. wages had advanced
forty-three per cent and commodities
III per cent.
