what sneers, what gibes, what slurs
would have filled the New York city pa
pers in regard to those western fellows
who want to degrade the standard!
How glib would have been the tongues
of their orators in denouncing all who
advocated the reconciliation of gold as
cranks, socialists, populists, anarchists,
ne'er-do-wells, and Adullamites, kick
ers, visionaries and frauds Is there
any practical doubt that we should have
witnessed all this? None whatever;
in fact, something of the same sort was
heard in Europe at the time of the de-
show that self-interest blinds the in
tellects of the best of men so that they
readily believe that which is to their
interest is honest, but that the farmer
who seeks to raise the price of what he
has to sell thereby throws himself down
as dishonest. OF course, the successful
decentralization of gold would have
brought about an enormous apprecia-
ton of the value of silver. since it would
have thrown the whole burden of main
tanning the business Of the world upon
one metal, and equally, of course, we
should have had the same attacks upon
the owners of gold mines that we now
have upon the owners of silver mines.
AS the withdrawal of silver from its
place as primary money and its reduc-
ton to the level of token money has
thrown the burden of sustaining prices
upon gold. so unquestionably would the
reverse process have occurred had gold
been reduced to token money in place of
silver. All this we know would have
taken place from what actually did take
place, and this makes important the
history of the demonetization of gold.

APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIA-
TION.

But we are firm believers in the max
i'm that, for all right Judgment of any
man or thing, it is useful, nay, essential,
to see his good qualities befSre pro-
nouncing on his bad. This maxim is so
clear to ourselves that, in respect to
poetry, at least, we almost think we
could make it clear to other men. In the
first place, at all events it is a much
shallower and more ignoble occupation
to detect faults than to discover beau
ties. The "critic fly" if it do but light on
any plinth or single cornice of a brave
stately building, shall be able to declare
with it's half-inch vision. that here is
speck, and there an inequality, that in
fact, this and the other Individual stone
are nowise as they should be; for all
this the "critic fly" will be sufficient;
but to take in the fair relations of the
whole. to see the building as one object,
to estimate it's purpose, the adjustment
of it's parts and their harmonious CO.
operation toward this purpose, will re-
quire the eye and the mind of Vitru-
vius or a Palladio.-Carlyle.

Gold has an intrinsic value, says tho
0onometallist, which makes it tho
money of the world. 1t Is sound ant
stable. while silver fiuctuates. See how
much more silver an ounce Of gold will
buy than in 1873, but the gold dollar re
mains the same, worth its face as bull
Hon anywhere in the world.
But suppose there had been a genera
characterization of gold instead of sill
yer, how would the ratio have stood
then? Would not the same reasoning
prove silver Interchangeable, and the gold
the fluctuating metal?
oh, nonsense! it is impossible to de,
monetize gold. because the civilized
world recognizes it as an invariable
standard by which all commodities arc
measured in value. The supposition il
absurd, 1t would be very much like
oeoxygenizing the air.
But. my dear SIR. gold has been de-
monetixed, and not very long ago
eithef, and very extensively, too. /.
was deprived of it's legal tender quail
~ by four great nations, comprising
some seventy millions of people; demon
otixed because it was cheap and because
the worlds creditors believed it was
going to be cheaper; the demonetiza-
ton, SO far as it went, produced enor-
NOUS evils, and nothing but the firm
ness of France and the far-seeing wis
dom OF her financiers prevented the de-
monetization becoming general on the
continent of Europe, which would have
reversed the present position of the two
metals in the public mind.
OF the many singular features in the
present overheated controversy prob
ably the most singular is the fact that
comparatively few bimetallists know Of
or, at any rate, say much about, this de-
monetization of gold. while the mono
metallists ignore it entirely, and many
Of them, who ought to know better
absolutely deny it.
So extensive was this decentralization
Of gold, and so far-reaching were Its
consequences. that 1t may easily be be-
lieved that 1t was the beginning OF al!
our misfortunes, and that the crime oi
the century, instead of being the de-
monetixation Of silver In 1878, was really
the characterization of gold in 1857; for
that was the first general or precou-
certed international action to destroy
the monetary functions of one of the
metals and throw the burden upon the
other and 1t first famlliarized the
minds of financiers, and especially OF
the creditor classes, with the fact that
the thing might easily be done, and that
1t would work enormously to their ad-
vantage.
1t may also be said that it led logically
to the action of 1867, which was but the
beginning of general demonstration
of silver.
The history of gold decentralization is
full of instruction, and is here given In
detail.
In 1S40-45 the world was hungerins
for gold. All the leading nations had
just passed through financial convui-
sions which shook the very foundations
of society. Several American states
had either repudiated their debts out
right or scaled them in ways that tc
the English mind looked dishonest, and
there was a general uneasiness among
the creditor classes of the world. A
universal fall of prices had produced
the same results with which we are now
SO painfully familiar. In the half cen

HOW TO HELP THE FARMER
Can Be Done Only by the Opening of
the Mints to Silver

The opening of our mints to silver, ard
this alone, can free our farmers and
planters from the disastrous competi
tion with the producers of silver-using
countries that has been fostered by the
premium on gold. So, to our farmers
Mr. Bryan's election holds out a pros
pect of relief, while the election of Mr..
Mckinley, pledged to a policy of mac
tion and the maintenance of the gold
standard. would bring no relief. And
as the election of Mr.. Mckinley and the
imposition of higher tariff duties could
not bring prosperity to our farmers, and
could not bring them better prices, the
market for manufactured goods would
be, as now, sadly restricted through the
impoverishment of those whose needs
are crying, but who cannot purchase.
Consequently. manufacturers would not
profit from higher tariff duties, even
granting that such duties could be made
high enough to protect out manufactur-
ers against foreign competition.-Th
