Since 1888 there has been a large in
crease OF the silver output. So has the
use of silver Increased, and so have the
population. wealth, business and re-
sources of the country increased. In
everything that goes to make up real
wealth the United States is today about
one-thlrd of the entire world that is
upon the gold standard. 1t is. difficult
TO see how any n can doubt that the
United States, aided as it would be to
a considerable extent by all other u
tries, could, by giving silver free access
TO Its mlnts at the ratio Of IS to |, es-
tabllsh and maintain that ratio through
out the world. To do this we would
necessarily part with some of our gold
and take silver in lieu of it. This would
have the double effect of making gold
cheaper and silver dearer, bringing
them together at a point somewhere be-
tween the present value of gold and the
present value of silver, with the result.
ant effect of raising prices moderately,
whether the prices We're rated in gold
or silver. If by any chance parity be-
tween the metals should not be restored,
still the result would be beneficial. The
increased demand for silver would I'M
q~uestlonably raise the value considera-
bly,, and the 80 cent dollar, of which
we hear 50 much, would be impossible.
But there is scarcely room for reason
able doubt that parity would be re-
stored. 1t is certainly hard to see how
1t could make things any worse to try it.
