Government will not care to purchase bullion
in the market. But as India has TO refund
about SSOOOOOOO every year on account OF i'm
pcrial expenses and the heavy railway ana
other investments In that country. besides what
may be due on trade balances, 1t Is not quite
certain that much silver will be bought or
shipped, so that the markets may be found to
have less help In the end than Is now expected
The operation, nevertheless, suggests some OF
the methods proposed by British bimetallIsts
for aiding the restoration of the white metal
without departing from the established mono
metallic policy of the Government.
In letter to THE London Economist OF
August % Mr. Arthur Strauss suggests that,
without interfering with British monetary ar
ranrcments the Government might engage to
purchase and coin for use in India $1j,OOOOOO
worth of silver yearly at a price not exceeding
God per ounce. providing the governments or
the United States and France bind themselves
be offered fer sale at less than that price.
With this small condition he thinks the price
could at least be raised to and held at about
the figure named, and is careful to suggest
that the fixed price should not be put high
enough to encourage overproduction Of silver
But since the mines are even now producing at
much lower price more silver than the world
is able to use, while several countries are en-
gagged In getting rid Of its use as money. 1t
may fairly be questioned whether overproduc-
ton would not become serious and to the con-
tracing countries extremely burdensome II the
price should be raised 40 per cent above the re-
cent market quotations by their engagement
Mr.. Strauss notes the fact which most OF
those who discuss the subject entirely over
look, that silver is largely produced as by
product, and he thinks 1t not far wrong to esti-
mate that half the entire production OF the
world is of that character. But he does not
seem to observe that 1t Is this very part OF the

THEORY TESTED BY FACTS.

The ancient but not venerable cradle to-grave
theory Is undergoing another test. Everything
from the cradle to the grave Is taxed. men
assert. and made dearer In exact proportion 10
the duties imposed. II there Is any truth In the
theory somebody should have been able by this
time TO submit market quotations showing some
such enhancement OF prices But no one mas
been able The opponents Of this theory nave
not particle OF proof to confront, but the difl-
cult task Is thrown upon them Of proving
negative. Even this the market quotations en-
able them To do. and tho more easily and con
cluslvcly at this time because the general con
dltions Of trade are calculated TO cause an nd-
vance in prices irrespective OF any duties. ana
vet the advance with the influence OF duties
recently imposed has been nowhere near that
which. according 10 the hoary theory, the duties
alone should have caused.
In making the following comparisons prices
of three grades Of pig iron are taken-anthrace
No. |, Bessemcr and Grey Forge and OF eight
kinds OF finished products steel rails, refined
bars. tank steel plates. all at Philadelphia or
Ncw-York. and bars. structural beams and
angles and wire and cut nails at rlttsburg. The
average OF 104 quotations Of domestic wool by
Coates Brothers. Of Philadelphia, represents that
casslmercs soft wool dress goods ladies' cloth.
Talbo, T flannels Mlddlescx suitings, cashmere
+ cotton warps and plain cheviOts represent
woollcn goods The Ncw-York quotation for mid
ding upands Is taken FOR cotton. and Atlantic \
sheetngs. Peppercll wide and fine brown sheet
ings. Hope and LonSdale shirtlngs Cochcco
prints Lawrence brown shectings. standard
print cloths Pcpperell drills. Amoskcag gIng-
hams and denims represent cotton goods 80.
without further specifications, 1t may be stated
that ten representative qualities Of hides In the
Chicago market. ten representative quotations Of
leather n Boston. and ten of boots ana shoes ~
\ew-York are combined 10 make up the com
narrative statements as 10 those products. and all
qualities are those which We're selected before
the tariff Of 1890 was repealed as the most fairly
representing the market for products OF different
classes.
An advance In prices after four years Of Demo
cratic disaster was expected. and II would have
been most disappointing 10 the whole business
world II none had come. one was In progress in
hides and in wool before the new tarin was ever
considered in the House. While remembering
that this natural reaction from extreme de-
preston caused some part OF the advance OBJ
served. It is proper TO compare prices two months
before the new tariff was adopted. namely, June
9; on the day OF It's adoption. and September ?,
after it had been In operation more than n
are taken as 100. and the ratio Of later quota
tlons TO these Is expressed in percentages, with
the following results:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1897-09-09

On pig iron without change of dulles prices
have somewhat declined. and iron products have
been entirely controlled by competition OF do
nestle producers without regard 10 imporiations.
Prices are scarcely rs nigh as they were two
months before the tariff was enacted. ana every
body knows that duties have nothing 10 do with
them Ney duties on wool average nearly
80 per cent but with Wild speculation prices
have advanced In three months only lJJ
pcr cent Duties OH wOOllen goods have
been increased over 40 per cent but prices
Of such goods have advanced less than the
cost OF raw wool, and not on"-third Of the
additional duty. No duty has been Imposed
on cotton and the price has been governed by
expectations in regard to the coming crop. ON
cotton goods the new duties are generally the
same as the old, but on some grades higher, and
the goods have advanced only because many OF
the larger mills hive been closed for several
weeks to allow surplus stocks to be cleared
away. A duty OF Il per cent on hides has been
imposed, but probably has nothing to do with
the larger advance In prices of domestic hides mt
Chicago while leather has advanced less than
half as much and boots and shoes scarcely mt all.
The notion that everything has advanced in
price in proportion to the duty on similar i'm
ported goods never had any foundation In fact
and will have to be abandoned. In some cases
prices have advanced more than the Increase in
duties but in nearly all cases less, ana so much
less. in view of the natural tendency toward ad-
vance with revival Of business, rs to prove that
the ancient theory is merely an ancient fraud.
