In his speech at Bellevue last evening
Hon. John r. HUMPHREYS gave historical
reyiew OF the states that have expert
mented with free silver. In ls5s," he
said. the states composing the German
zoliyeTeln and the empire OF Austria Ell
tered into treaty by which they adopted
the single standard OF silver. Al the tine
OF the agreement Austria desired 10 adopt
the gold standard. bat her wish was de-
feated and the silver standard was adopt
81 and remained the standard OF Germany
from 1857 TO ISL. when. by experience.
Germany found X TO be failure and pre-
pared 10 change 10 the gold standard. Il
Afterwards did change to the gold STAN
dard. and Is now gold standard country
and refuses 20 again adopt the silver STAN
dard or the double standard. Originally
France had the pound weight OF silver
as It's standard OF value. and during her
history, IN order TO have parity between
the metals, she changed her gold ratio
las times and her silver ratio 81 times.
making 3sT times that France changed
between the metals In order 10 keep a
parity between god and silver. and 1t was
demonstrated during the time that a
change of ~ per cent. in favor OF gold
sufficed TO cause that metal 10 disappear
from circulation During the whole time
France dli not have practical bi-me tall
llsm. At times she had silver mono-met-
alllsm and other times gold mono-metal-
ism England went through the same ex-
perience. In 1916 she adopted the gold
standard. but she had been on the gold
standard long before that time. In 1876
France adopted the gold standard. In
lSos the United States practically adopted
the gold standard. but X was not adopted
by statute until 1873. In i7ss the United
States attempted 20 have bi-metallisrn and
70 have the double standard but IN 1905 It
was found that the gold had left the
country and We practically had silver
mono me- tallism."
