The Act of 1873.

The advocates of the free coinage Of
silver, have, for years, been reitcrating
the statements that the act of 1873,
stopping the coinage of the silver dol
lar, was surreptitiously passed; that
the members of congress, even, did not
know what they were voting for, and
that the act was passed at the instiga-
ton of men who were interested in
forcing a corner on gold. They have
repeated these statements so often
that many have convinced themselves
of their truth. Even so well-informed
a man as T. A. Baker in his recent
ratification speech at the Auditorium
in Detroit, declared that it was a
'stealthy" act. They also speak of the
law as having "demonetizcd" silver.
An inquiry as to the exact facts in the
case is pertinent at this time.
There had been no general revision
of the coinage acts since 1897, and no
amendments adopted since 1853. In
1870 the secretary of the treasury, Mr..
Boutwell,, framed bill intended to
bring under one chapter all the acts
relating to the coinage since the mint
was established in 1893. This was
printed and copies of it sent to experts
throughout the country; and after their
suggestions had been considered it was
introduced in the senate and referred
to the committee on finance April 90,
1870. 1t did not pass the senate until
Jan. 10, 1871, having been for some
months upon the files of members in
printed form. Previous to its passage,
which was by a vote of SO TO IA, it was
discussed for two days, Senators Shcr-
man, Sumner, Morrill,, Bayard and
number of others having taken part in
the discussion.
The bill did not pass the house of that
congress, but was introduced in that
branch of the next congress March 0,
1871, by Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania. Ten months later, Jan. 0,
1872, it was favorably reported by the
house committee on coinage, weights
and measures, Mr.. Kelley saying that,
in that committee, ait received as care
full consideration as l have ever known
ure." 1t was discussed in the house by
Messrs. Kelley, Garfield, Maynard,
Dawes, Holman and others, and May
~, 1879, it was passed by vote of 10
to 10. 1t went to the senate and, with
amendments, passed that body Jan. II,
1873, after discussion which took up
10 columns of the congressional Globe.
In the house it was again printed, with
the senate amendments, in SOME of
which the lower body failed to concur.
Conference committees were appointed
and their report was agreed upon by
both houses, the bill becoming n law
Feb. 10, 1873.
1t will.thus be seen that the bill was
before congress and its committees
nearly three years. It was printed as

The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-08-07

An argument something like this Is
often used with the debtor classes by
the free silver advocates. What il the
prices of what you buy do advance, as
well as the prices of what you sell?
You are still gamer in the debt pay
ing power of the surplus. You take
100 bushels of wheat to market now
and get $50 for it; you pay $40 for a
suit of clothes and have $40 left to APP
ply on your mortgage. With free sill
yer coinage you would get 500 for
your hundred bushels of wheat. Even
If you did have to pay double price for
the suit of clothes, you would still have
$50 left to pa on the mortgage.
There would be two bitches in this
plan of operations. In the first place
the prices of farm products would not
be at all likely to increase as rapidly
as those manufactures, a large part of
which are imported. Imported goods
would have to be paid for on a gold
basis, and the increase in price would
be immediate. The very platform
which declares for the free coinage of
silver, declares also against protec-
tive tariff, and in the absence of the
home market which the latter should
aid in furnishing, farm products would
not keep pace with manufactured
goods in the enhancement of price.
But the worst hitch in the program
proposed would be just here. The re-
suit of the election will be known next
November. The new congress will
not, in the ordinary course of events,
meet until December Of the year fol-
lowing, and it would be some months
after that before such legislation as
thatpropos ed could be crowded through
the two houses. Even if an extra ses-
sion was held in March, it would take
months to get bill through. 1t would
be from one to two years after election
before the new measure could become
operative. Meantime gold would be
driven out of circulation, and much of
it sent abroad, causing a great con-
traction of the available currency.
Wherever obligations become due cred
itors would insist upon immediate pay
ment, or else, if renewals were granted,
uPOh eNuiOiOhdl Will oOip-
ulation that payment should be in gold.
There are scores of millions of dollars
of mortgages in Michigan alone that
are past due, but that are allowed to
run as long as the interest is paid.
The same self interest that gives the
debtor desire to pay these in fifty
cent dollars, would lead the creditor to
secure payment while the gold stand
ard prevailed, or else to secure future
payment in gold. He would have the
advantage of time, and with part due
obligations no law could stop him.
There would be ten foreclosure suits
where now there is one, and no
bidders except the mortgages. Be-
sides this first pinching time it would
take years for the newly coined silver
to fill the gap occasioned by the with
drawal of the 5000, 900, 900 in gold now
held in the country. Whatever bust
ness structure might ultimately be
reared upon the silver basis, and it
would probably be flimsy one, it's
foundations would be laid in the almost
universal bankruptcy # what are now
the debtor classes.

Why Not Ten Cent Dollars9

We all know that this country can
sustain limited amount of silver cur
rency at a ratio of 16 to 1 because it is
already doing it. But if it can sustain
an unlimited amount coined at the same
ratio, why can it not as we'll sustain it
at ratio of 3 to 1? In other words,
why can il not strike from our 10 cent
piece the inscription lone dime" and
make it zone dollar?" If this be prac-
ticable-and it seems to me that the one
is as practicable as the other-is not the
proposition of unlimited 16 to / an ex-
travagant and useless waste Of the most
valuable commodity which the world
has ever known? 1t appears that there
are greater possibilities open to the adj
vocates of the white metal than even
they have as yet conceived.

Attacking Home Builders.

The silverite candidate for president
nominated at Chicago declared: 1--WE
are fighting for our lomes, our families
and posterity." Mr.. Bryan neglected to
say how policy of debt reputation
and property confscation would estab-
lish more firmly the right of men who
build homes to own them. If, as he
seems to think, the fact that some debt
ors are poor justifies the wholesale rob-
berry Of creditors, would not the same
logic entitle the millions who have no
land or homes to share the property Of
the farmers who have by hard work Sc
cured home and a little wealth? Can
an agitation which attacks capital and
property rights be truly said to be a
movement in defense Of the peoples
homes?
There are about 1000, 900 Americans

of one day having enough to get home
for their old age Mr.. Bryan's 16 to
scheme would cut the value of all these
savings in two. Is that policy in de-
tense Of the American home?
