AUGUST 10. 1856 The Louisville Courier
Tournal laws down the following PROPOSE
tion: it,
81 That the demonedzati0u Of silver
which has prevailed for some years up to
this writing. both i'm the United States
and Europe. has had the effect OF advanc-
ing the value of gold about 40 per cent.
"2 THAT this has been accomplished by
depressing the value of all other property
to that extent.
"3 THAT about 30 per cent Of the property
and producing resources Of the people have
thus been transferred TO comparatively
small class Of men whose stock in trade is
gold Investments.
''i. THAT i'm the exact proportion as gold
has risen the burden of debt and taxation
has increased and that in proportion as
property and labor have declined the ca
pacity Of the people TO pay their debts
and taxes has diminished.
"5. That the silver discount is creating
a bonus of more than 50 per cent in favcr
of the farm productions OF India and Asia,
which to that extent cheapens the wheat.
cotton and various other productions OF
the United states.
Sc Thar these Iamentable conditions
have been produced by anu-silver legisla-
ton.
-. That they can he undone and pros
perity restored by pro-sllNer legislation;
If any newspaper in New York or Bos-

tions, It will render the pubic valuable ser
