Take the average of prices in your

and theaverage gold or greenback value
of ten ounce bar of silver at that

would have bought. Do the same for
the five years ending with 1896, and you
will find that the silver will buy more.

some 80, 900 men own or absolutely con-
troll one-half the property of the United
States; that 100, 900 men own half the
remainder, and that the great mass of
laboring producers actually own very
little if any more than they did in
1860. The results are simply awful.
Ten men in New York city today hold
the credit of the United States abso-
lutely at their mercy. If it were to

It is point well worth noting, how
ever, that in the seven or eight years
1849-56-that gold, according to the
best authorities, lost 25 per cent of its
value, the world accommodated itself
very easily to the change. The only
outcry was from the holders of fixed in
