Browns future. The council may or
may not fx the punishment, but even II
no penalty is mentioned, a severe con-

FREE silver s".u THE PRICE OF COT
TON
Popuiist Statistics Which Prove Sound
Money Statements.

Popuiist Statistics Which Prove sound
Money Statements.
The Arena, a Populist magazine, pub
fishes series Of pictures intended TO
show the great decrease in the purchas-
ing power of bale Of cotton, owing to
the alleged decentralization" of silver.
The money value of the first bale is given
as $416. 80 in 1865. The next in the
same series is for 1870, when the money
value had shrunk to $119. 80. Other
pictures give the varying values down
to 1894, the conclusion from the whole
being that the lack of free silver has
caused the fall in the price of cotton.
How false this argument is can be
seen by looking at the figures quoted
Between 1865 and 1870 the price OF cot
ton fell from SO. 3s cents per pound to
23. 9S cents. By 1878, the year of the
crime, the price had gone down to
49, 80 cents. In other words, the money
value of bale of cotton shrank from
$4l69 in 1865 to $94, difference
of 1922. 80, while the country had free
coinage of silver at l6 to /. Since that
time the fall in price has been much
less having been only from $94 in 1878
to $50 in 1896 at the present quota
tions OF z. so cents per pound.
The history of cotton prices shows,
therefore, that under free silver the
price of a bale of cotton declined 1922. 80.
