and that prices OF food and clothing are about

The evils complained Of are real. though enor-

is erroneous ana the remedy proposed would
prove worse than ineffective. The 'demonctiza-

country has had since 1913 many years of its
greatest prosperity. and the free coinage OF II

As Mr.. Mckinley has aptly reminded them. 1t IS
from the mills and facttries that the farmers
get their profits. not from the mints. and it Is

spoken.

They are wrestling with currency question
in China, TOO. and are in peck of trouble be-
cause of an attempt 10 make the market price
of metal adjust itself to the coinage price, in
stead of the reverse. China is commonly re-
garded as having Il silver standard. Strictly
speaking. II has copper or brass standard
the monetary unit being the tsien, or cash,
brass coin trife smaller tlian our silver quar-
terdolar. with square hole In The centre
From time immemorial 1,5O0 Of these coins had
been equal in value 10 one tacl. or Chinese
ounce, of silver. But some years ago ii was
discovered that, owing to the fall in the value
Of silver, coinage Of cash could not profitably
be continued at that ratio, so II was discon-
tinued. Indeed. very few cash have beer
coined in the present reign. now in lis twenty
second year. This. Of course. caused contrac-
ton of the currency, and demand for none
tary reform Some clamOred for the "Inoney of
the Constitution and the cash of our fathers,
and The present legal ratio Of 1900 to L."
Others held that the intrinsic ratio had
changed the currency ratio mus: also change
So this latter view prevailing. The silver ta"l
became exchangeablc for only LOO. then l,30o,
then 200 and AT present for only LILO cash.

except at enormous loss II cost 'acl and a
third to produce tacl's worth of standard
coins. But instead Of admitting that the
price of silyer-a commercial commodity-had
changed. he acted on the theory that the stand

changed. The single brass standard had caused
an increase in the value Of brass. and IL must

he proposed 10 do by the simple method Of

uISDIRECTED COMPLAINTS.

Some Of the Il -,uments of the silver men are
contemplate in their weakness. Some are de-
tcsabc in the" dishonesty and malice But
some are little short of pathetic in the mistaken
earnestncss with which they are made by hon
csf men who by actual distrcsses have been
driven to believe them true. They may be based
on false premises and he built up with unsollnd
reasoning. Nevertheless. they are entitled to
patient consideration and serious reply
Here, for example, is letter from a man in
the West TO his son in the East making an al
mos agonzing appeal 10 him to vote for Bryan
and free coinage Of silycr The writer has suf-
fercd business revcrscs, and is persuaded sin
ccrely. though mistakcny-that the dcInonetz;-
iion of silver is the cause of all his woes Coal
men" he complains, are raising prices this win
ter. while millions of men are out of employ
'mcn'. who could mine coal and make II very
cheap" 1t would be in.ere sting To know where
the millions of unemployed men are who are
able and willing 10 mire coal. ana still more in
tcrcsting to know how free coinag. of silver
could compel mine-owners to SET them at work
and to reduce prices. One of the favorite arg,l-
mens for free silver is that 1t will raise prices
Is coal TO be the one exception to the rule.

Nor is the other statement less extravagant
that there are milli0n men out Of business "he-

Is not gone. ON Tie contrary. the amount Of
