For 90 years bimctalliEts have claimed
that The demonstration Of silver en-
HANGED the value Of gold, forcing down
prices, leading 20 business depression
and distress. IN answer 90 THIS claim,
the gold champions have stoutly In
sisted that low prices are nn advantage,

argument Is correct 10 far rs IL applies
20 those who already have the "dol-
lars" or who are IN the enjoyment OF
practically fixed incomes. IL the bulk
Of mana fortune is In money, Cr
claims payable In money. Il is plain
that ak the purchasing power OF the
dollar increases, he Is able 10 command
more aud more OF the things he needs.
and. in effect, he becomes richer.
But II should be equally plain, that
any advantage thus acquired must be
AT the expense Of other people. AssuHl-
ing that there Is u certain absolute
amount Of property in the world, II IA

should be perfectly obvious that somn

grave injustice. In short, the apprc-
citation Of money" gives an adyan-
tarc To those who can control IL la

injury of owners Of wealth iu other

claim cannot be sustained, because tho
benefits OF such increased production

when the argument is applied to q case

most a waste Of time TO argue It. There
is not business man IN the world who
does not recognize low prices as an
evil when applied TO his business.
There Is not trade journal ON either
continent that does not dcprrcatc n
fall Of prices and welcome rise. Al
most every day through the columns
of the public press we are informed of
business houses failing, aud factories
closing because uf low prices. Not
only this, but we find the greatest and
most powerful concerns In the cOun-
try forming trusts aud combines TO
prevent further fall Of prices. With
out the slightest effort at coHCcnlment
the formation Of these trusts Is pub
licly proclaimed, the reasons given, and
the acts justified by the unfa,orablC
conditions that exist.
