Silver and the Fall In Prices.

The Philadelphia American, n paper
published in a sound money city, but
devoted to the cause of free coinage, re-
peats, in a recent issue, the stale old as
sertion that it is the adoption Of the gold
standard which has caused such a mark
ed decline in prices. Without going into
the general question Of the effect which
the quantity of money in country has
on the prices of goods, it is only needful
to point to the fact that prices have fall
Oh Just the Same in countries on silver
basis as in those using gold. Wheat is
cheaper in America than it was some
years ago. 1t is also cheaper in India
and Russia, both silver standard coun'
tries-in fact, it is largely the competi
ton of their low priced wheat which has
brought down the price Of American
wheat.
Can The American explain why the
cheap silver of Russia and India has not
kept up prices in those countries! Ii
using more silver would benefit our
farmers by giving them higher prices,
why has it not done so where silver IS
the only money used? How can we ex'
pect that bushel of wheat will buy
more goods, if measured by silver dollars,
when it is found that III countries which
have always had the silver standard
wheat brings no more than in America:
These are questions which tho te
levers in sound money have been asking
ever since the present agitation for free
coinage was started Is it rot about time
that the silverites tried to answer them

Free Silver Kindergarten Lesson For
tho Benefit of Those Who Need 1t.
What is it makes some people poor?
The crime Of 1873.
How did that Crime cause poverty
By striking down one-half Of the mon
ey Of the country.
Eovy MUCK silver money was there in
She United States in 1878?
Less than $4,000, GOO.
How much have we now?
Six hundred and twenty-five million
dollars.
Does this increase Of atnHt $3.50, 0O0,-
600 look like reduction Ill the volume
Of our silver money?
So Senator Stewart says.
What causes floods, cyclones, droughts,
weeyil, bollworms grasshoppers, 60
piers and other evils which injure the
| farmers and planters crops?
The gold standard.
What will make the COWS give more
milk, the sheep grow more wool, the
hogs weigh twice as much and the hens
lay bigger eggs?
| The silver standard.
Name some of the silver standard
countries.
China, India and Mexico.
Are the people Of those countries more
prosperous than the American farmers
and workers?
No; they are great deal poorer:
Why has not their silver money made
those countries rich?
Ask something easier.
If there are more poor people in silver
standard countries than in gold using
nations, how would free coinage Of 30
cent dollars abolish poverty in the Unit
ed States?
That is one of the things that nobody
can find out.

The Journal has always stood for

this in the spirit of prophecy, but be-
cause it was convinced that the good
sense of the people could bring them to
no other conclusion. The politicians may

comes to talk to the people at large,
when the question is presented to them.

1t may be in this crisis that the Ger

FELL FROM THE VIADUor.
Miraculous Escape from instant
Death This SEornfBg-

Thomas Hansen. IS years old. a painter
OF No. Il Van Hassett place. Brooklyn.
had a miraculous escape from instant
death this morning. While at work on
a small scaffold painting an outer rail
Of the Thirteenth street viaduct, he lost
his balance and pitched to the street
forty feet below. Fortunately Hansen
landed In a marshy plot. He head escap-
ed striking a piece of iron by about four
inches.
Workmen who were engaged near him
were not aware of what had happened
until they heard a scream that made
their blood run cold. Turning. they saw
Hansen making complete somersaults in
his descent. Noticing that he would
probably land ON the piece of water pipe
below they turned from the scene hor-
rified.
Half a dozen workmen rushed to his
assistance when they discovered that he
had escaped the pipe. They found him
unconscious, with blood flowing freely
from his nose, mouth and ears. An am
bulance was ummoned and he was re-
moved in all haste to the City Hospital.
He sustained internal injuries, from
which it is not thought he will recover.
