A correspondent of the Boston Herald
has been travelling through the far
West interviewing the advocates of free
silver coinage for the purpose of getting
at the arguments on whiohsthey base their
support of that policy. The most common
argument he found, and perhaps the
most impressive, was that free silver
would increase the prices of the staples
raised by the Western farmers. This
argument was presented as foroibly by
Judge Merrick as by any one. 81 as ked

could operate in raising prices generally,
and he replied:
" By changing the conditions. London
Is the market in which is offered all the
surplus products of the world, and it is
the price or the surplus that fixes the

The ounce of silver is the equivalent of
"a rupees, and 21@ rupees will purchase,

wheat grower must compete with that
price. 1t is, therefore, evident that
when the English operator is compelled
to pay $l.29 an ounce for silver, and the

The repeal Of the Sherman purchasing
act did not bring prosperity. That is id
mitted, and the Hon. George T. Talbot, it
seems to Us, expends a good deal more
effort on that subjec5 in his letter else
where printed than was needed. But
while it did not bring prosperity it avert
cd the great danger that the country
might get on to a silver basis, which
would have weakened our credit abroad
and destroyed confidence at home. The
charge made by Senator Jones and quot
ed apparently with approval By Mr.. Tai
bot. that the bankers deliberately set to
work to destroy confidence and precipi-
tate panic in order to accomplish the
Repeai OF the Sherman law. seems to be
preposterous. Like lot of other assump-
tions Of the silver men there is no proof
of it, and in the nature of things it is
highly improbable that the bankers who
are just as much dependent on prosperity
and general confidence as other people,
would set to work to destroy the only
conditions on which they could hope to
thrive.

that the workingmen are studying the
question for themselves and are not
blindly following the men they have gen.
