THE CRIME OF 1873.
So much Las been written and
said, which to a fair mind is conclu
sive that the act of 1873 was thor
oughly understood in and out of
congress at the time of its passage,
that we supposed the rankest Popu
list had let go of that" crank. But
only a few days ago Mr. Bryan reit
erated the oft refuted statement, in
one of his appeals. to popular prejudice.-
The facts are that the bill was be
fore congress almost three years. It
was first introduced April 25. 1870.
It was prepared by John J. Knox,
deputy comptroller of the currency,
not by money lenders or brokers.
Before it was introduced it had. been
submitted to boaids of trade, chan
cers of congress, government officials
and experts in finance, and when sent
to congress it was accompanied by a
communication which distinctly stat
ed that its provisions discontinued
the coinage of the 41 2 grain silver
doliar, and also by the replies which
Mr. ,Knox had received from the
bodies and persons to whom it had
been submitted. The passage of the
"bill was recommended by three differ
ent reports of the- secretary of the
treasury, those of 1871, 1872 and
T873. It passed the senate January
10, 1871, and then went to the house
and was printed January 13, 1871.
It passed the house May 27, 1872,
Jiavingbeen theve amended. The
amendments necessitated its return
to the senate. It again passed ihe
senate with amendments January 17.
1873; it then went to a conference
committee whose report was adopted
and it. finally passed both houses
February 12, 1873. It was printed
thirteen different times and the de
bates in the senate occupy C6 col
umns of the Congressional Globe and
in the house 78 columns. The bill
was debated nearly two whole days
in Januarj', 1872. Congressman Kel
ley, of Pennsylvania, dui inj that de
bate said: "I would like ; to follow
the example of England and make a
wide difference between our gold and
silver coins,and make the gold dollar
, uniform with the French sj'stem of
weight;', taking the grain as the
unit." , - "
Congressman Hooper, of. Massa
chusetts, in a long speech on this bill
in February, 1872, referring to the
discontinuance of the-silver' dollar,
said : '-The silver dollar Of 4I2
grains, by reason of its bullion or in
trinsic Value being greater than its
-nominal value, long since ceased to

be a coin of circulation, and is melt
ed by manufacturers of silverware."
Congressman Potter, of New York,
opposed the bill, claiming: "This
bill provides for the. making of
changes in the legal tender coin of
the country, and for substituting as
legal tender coin of only one metal,
instead, as heretofore, of two."
Other members in both bouses
called attention to the fact that the
bill discontinued the free coinage of
the silver "dollar.
We are informed by Mr. Bryan
that a number of congressmen have
testified that they did not understand
ihe bill. The inevitable conclusion
is that these men were asleep during
the debates or were intellectually un
qualified to be in congress, or are
now prevaricating. If Bryan is
elected upon the proposition that the
act of 1873 .was "surreptitiously" or
''by a conspiracy" passed through
congress he will be elected by a false
hood. .
In yesterday's Chronicle the fig
ures showing the output of gold and
silver should have been for, the
United States and not for the world
as stated. The world's product of
gold 1792 to 1873, coinage value, is
S3,582,2I2,O00, an average per an
num of $44,224,839. The world's
product of silver during the same
period was $2,711,442,000 or $33,
474.600 per annum. From 1873 to
1893 the total output of gold was
$3,206,505,000' or $110,325,250, and
of silver $2,346,087,000 or $117,
304.350 per annum. These figures
are taken from government statistics
and answer the whole free coinage
argument.
From 1853 to 1859 France had
practically a single silver standard by
reason of having over valued silver
in its coinage about IJ per cent. In
1859 a demand in England for silver
to ship to the orient raised the price
above the French coinage ratio and
France went to the gold standard,
and notwithstanding her enormous
use of gold for coinage purposes,
over 80 percent of the world's pro
ducts, its value as compared with
silver continued to decrease. "Will
coinage of the United States change
the price in view of the enormous
amount annually produced ?
