Money Makes Better
TimeS.

When the Republican press
avs a contrast between the con
ton of business to day, with that
hich prevailed few years ago,
hey boast that the improved con-
Itiorb is due to the Republican adj
inistration. When they argue
ainst the coinage of silver they
pint to the large production of
Sid within the last two years and
81 that the increase in the pro-
i6ction of gold has brought better
lines, by supplying more money
nd there is no longer any demand
or the coinage of silver, In one
breath they boast that the improve
nent in the times is due to the
Republican administration, and in
tie next breath they say it is due
the large production of gold.
Evidently, the second claim comes
nearest being true. The very large
production of gold within the last
two years has increased the volume
of circulating medium, and thereby
made times more prosperous, This
is condition that could not exist
when all the civilized nations of the
world were bidding for and grab
bing at the insufficient supply of
gold. This fully sustains the posi-
tion taken by the Democrats that
the people demanded more money,
and kind of money that cannot
be cornered by the gold monopoly,
and the bond syndicates. They
advocate the coinage of silver as the
best means of relieving the demand.
Silver does not hide in the vault
of the miser, nor can it be cor
nered by the speculators. 1t
stays among the people in plain
every day circulation. But more
money has made times better
whether that increase has been in
gold, silver or paper. The supply
of gold is yet inadequate for all
the demands of business and trade.
Though the increase of late has
been unusually large, it must be
borne in mind that the supply be-
fore the increase was exceedingly
small. Should the present produc-
ton continue indefinitely, which is
not likely, it could not make up
the shortage to begin with, and
keep pace with the increase of
trade, the spread of development
and the growth of population. The
wholly inadequate increase of gold
has tended to make times better.
An additional increase in the vol
ume of circulating medium will
make times better still. This is
the position taken by the Demo
crats in 1896. Subsequent events
and Developments have exempli-
fed that the position was we'll
taken.-EX.
