FALL OF PRICES.
NOT DUE TO APPRECIATION OF GOLD,
BUT TO CHEAPER COST OF
- -PRODUCTION.
David A. WeTls Discusses Cause of Fall In
Prices Compares Jasper's "Sun Do
Move" Theory With Sllverltes' Gold Has
Appreciated Theory Measured oy Price
of Labor, Gold Is Depreciating. " -
The Hon. David A. Wells, author of
"Recent Economic Changes," and the
greatest American authority on the
cause of falling prices, has a full page
article on this subject in the New York.
Tribune of Sept. 7. He finds that there
has been a universal fall in prices, aver
aging SO or 40 per cent, since 1873, but
that it is only in this country that the
fall is attributed to the demonetization
of silver. Continuing, he says in part:
(iranting, as every intelligent person
must, that the recent universal decline
in prices cannot be dne to any Jocal
agency, but must be attributed to some
universal influence, it is claimed that
such an influence is to be found in an
appreciation, in the -value or purchasing
power of gold, owing to its limited: and
insufficient supply, and also that . this
decline in prices followed the so called
demonetization of silver in some coun
tries, and the closing of the mints in
other countries to its coinage: '
The appreciation of gold, helped by
an alleged enforced - scarcity of silver,
and a decline in price seem, therefore,
to stand to each other in the relation of
cause and effect, and the cause- of the
advocates of silver has accordingly at
the outset much of plausibility. But
plausibility is not proof, nor assumption
truth, as is strikingly illustrated by the
claim of the Rev. Jasper, pastor of the
First colored church in Richmond, Va.,
that "the sun do move," and the earth
"dp stand still," and who has more of
seeming facts in support of his faith
than can be adduced by the advocates
of the golft appreciation theory for
cannot everybody with eyes see the sun
move up every morning in the east and
move down every evening in the west?
And if the earth moves 19 miles every
second, as the astronomer bugs tell us,
would not every movable thing fly. off
its surface as mud does from a.revolv
ing carriage- wheel? And as nothing
does fly off, is it not certain that the
earth stands etill:
' Investigation in the gase of the Rev.
Jasper and the advocates of the gold ap
preciation theory will, however, lead to
different conclusions. It is to be noted,
in the first place, that the advocates of
the latter theory, in stating what they
assert to be the truth,- never express
themselves other than generally, in all
that has been written or spoken in sup
port of the gold theory on either Bide of
the Atlantic. ,
No one has ever been able to name a
single commodity that has notably de
clined in price within the last 80 years
and satisfactorily proved, or even at
tempted to prove, that such declino was
due to the appreciation of gold. And
the reason for such default is that it
cannot be done.
On tho other hand, riot a single com
modity that has notably declined in
price within this time can be named in
respect to which clear, abundant and
specific evidence cannot be adduced ill
proof that this decline has been duo to
decreased cost of production or distribu
tion or to changes in supply' and demand-
-occasioned by wholly fortuitous
circumstances. '
Nobody, furthermore, has ever- risen
to explain the motive which ban im
pelled the honest sellers of -merchandise
all over the world during the last 25
years to take lower prices for their
goods in the face of an unexampled
abundance of-' capital and remarkably
low rates of interest, except for one or
both of two reasons excess of supply
or diminished demand. Has any one
ever attempted to explain how it has
happened that during the recent period
of the fall of prices the world's stock of
money, and especially of silver, has been
constantly increasing? '
Is it not plain that a phenomenal de
cline of prices in two parts of the world,
with entirely different monetary condi
tions, must have had other causes than
a demonetization of silver in the United
States, which took place, if it ever did,
, a comparatively short time ago (repeal
of the Sherman act in 1893), and which
has not prevented nearly $600,000,000
of silver credit money from circulating
in 'the the country at its full nominal
value?
That the price of labor measured in
gold has not declined, but increased in
a marked degree everywhere in the civ
ilized world during the last quarter of
a century, bas been already commented
on ; hence if the purchasing power of
gold has increased during this period a
given amount of it would have purchas
ed more labor and not less, or; what is
the same thing, wages would have fall
en, which they have not done. - J
Measured bythe price of labor, gold
has unquestionably depreciated, and re
cent careful examinations indicate that
the ratio of its decline ha4 been from
100 in 1873 to 83 in 1893: Measured
also by the decline in the rate of interest-
on each established gold paying se
curities as British consols, the ratio has
been -from 100 in 1870 to 75 in 1896.
Can anybody suggest a better measure
for testing this issue? -'
. Has any one ever -endeavored to ex
plain how an appreciation of gold has
reduced the cost of "railroad and water
transportation to the' extent of" more
than 75 per cent- within, the last 20
veasa.-althoncrH tht nraoaa rf mlwckm;
have advanced during the same period?
If, on the other hand, these reduc
tions were caused by the suppression
of the free coinage of silver, will not a
reversion of policy enable the railroads
to advance their freight rates and rob the
people, as will be claimed, by exacting
50 per cent more than at present? And
will not some supplementary provisions
to the free coinage act be necessary to
prevent their so doing?
-Which? Gold or SUrn.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the

the world's fair, Chicago. Manufaet
arers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums.- The decision of , the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Aver's
Sarsaparilla was in .effect as follows
''Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here- on its
