years preceding the act of 1S78. Evidently so
far the 200 cent dollar had not made Its nark
at all. But I will admit the possible plea that,
as they say, ths act of 187a having been passed
In secret, people did not know anything about
It, and prloet remained measurably steady, in
ignorance of what dreadful things had hap
pened. If so, then it would appear that, If the
rjiowing ones had only kept still about It, the
gold dollar would have modestly remained a
100 cent dollar and nobody would have been
hurt. But, seriously speaking, it may be said
that when the aot of ltf78 was passed we were
still uHing exclusively paper money, that nei
ther Kld nor silver was in ciroulation, and
that therefore the demonetization would not
be felt. Very well. But, then, in 1S79 specie
payments were resumed. Metallic money cir
culated again. And more than that, the cry
about "the crime of 1873" resounded in con
gress and in the country. Then at last the 200
cent gold dollar had its opportunity. Prices
could no longer plead ignorance. What hap
pened? In 18S0 wheat rose above the price of
1879, likewise corn, cotton and oats. In 1881
wheat rose again ; also corn, oats aud cotton.
In 1882 wheat ajid cotton declined, while corn
and oats rose. The reports here given are
those of the New York market. They may
vary somewhat from report of farm prices,
but they present the rise and decline of prices
with substantial correctness.
If, however, there be somebody believing
that, intpiteof these facts, the demonetization
of silver by the act of 1873 must in some mys
terious way have done something to depress
prices, I meet him with ths affirmation that
the silver dollar was practically demonetised
long before 1873. To judge from the speeches
of our free coinage orators, the American peo
ple must before 1873 have fairly wallowed in
silver dollars. What la the fact? President
Jefferson stopped the coinage of silver dollars
In 1808. From 1783 to 1878, aside from fraction
al currency which since 1853 was only limited
legal tender-only about 8,001,000 of silver dol
lars were coined. They Were so soaroe that
you would hardly ever see one except in a
curiosity shop as a rare coin.
There was constant troublo with the legal
ratio betweon gold and silver, which could
not be so fixed as to keep the two metals to
gether in circulation. Once one of them would
be driven out of the country and then the
other. Meanwhile over 11,000,000,000 of gold
coin was ooinod, and Blnoe 185b gold was sub
stantially the only full legal tender money in
actual ciroulation. And those were excep
tionully prosperous times. Then the civil war
came and swept all our metallic money out of
sight. Paper money took its place, sad In that
condition wo were in 1878, when the famous
act of 1873 was passed. What, then, was In
rsality that law that has since bean so fierce
ly denounced as "the crime of 1873?" Why, it
was simply an act revising our coinage laws
and providing among other things thut oortain
silver ooins should be struck to be legal tender
in the payment of debts on ly to a small amount.
The standard silver dollar, that had practical
ly been out of use since President Jeffer
son in 1809 had stopped Its coinage, was simply
not mentioned In the enumeration. That is
all. The act of 1878 therefore did not create a
new state of things, but simply recognized a
state of things wmoh hud cxliited for many
and many years. It did thereby not only not
destroy half the money of the country, but
not a single dollar of it.
Why Prices Have Declined.
But what is it, thi n, thut has caused the Ad
eline of prices? 1 appcul to your common
sense. Do you think that when one man, Hid
ed by machlanry, does as much productive
work as formerly ten or inoro did, and when
our modern mnausof transportation carry the
product from tiie producer to the coneanior
with flvs times the speed at one-11 ft li the oost,
and when tn the transmission of intelligence
time Is quite and oost almost anuthllatod, do
you think that then the product of human
labor should not In due proportion become
cheaper? If It did not, than modern civilisa
tion would In one of Its most Important and
Isinefcebt funotlona be a flat failure. For
what Is the Inventive genius of the age that
devotes itself to practloal objects engaged In I
what else thsn In devising and developing j
means and methods by which the things re
quired by mankind for the tuatcnanos and
comfort of Ufa be made better and more easily
attainable tbst la, cheaper?
The farmer In the United States welcomed
the agricultural machinery which helps him
In planting, raising and harvesting, bis crop,
He welcomed the railroad, the steamboat, ths
low freights, ths telegraph, which shortened
the dlstanoe between bis farm and the market,
and the banking arrangements required for
moving and selling his product. Hut as near
ly all our farmers bad the same encourage
ment, so It followed quite naturally that the
wheat crop of this country Incrvased from an
annuel average of 811.000.000 busliels between
IsTU and Iswu to an annual average of stt.OUU.
000 buahale between IMJ0 and 16. But sun
foreign countries had the Boouraging benefit;
new wbeetflelda were opened la Huaste and
the Argentine Repilblle and elsewhere, and.
according to itradatrtwl't, a very eotnpatonl
authority, the wheat product of the world

huehela, while the world's eoiiaainpttna Is es
timated to Increase only I2.OUO.UUO to KI.ac.UUU
bnshels annually. When the Increase of the
world s supply thua gains upon the laoreaas
of the world's demand, ts II a wonder that to
the world's market, which rules the prtoe for
all exporting eountriaa, that prti-a should have
declined? Is not this an titllnltuty snore ra
tional iplanallon of the decline la prices than
that decline to the so railed de
did that recently in a most conclusive manner.
I will only add that I was a member of the
senate at the time and know whereof I affirm,
and I emphatically pronounce all the stories
about the act of 1873 being passed surreptitious
ly; about senators and members being some
bow hypnotized, so that they did not know
what they were doing ; about some English
man being on the ground with much money to
promote the demonetization of silver, and so
on, as wholly and unqualifiedly false. I wish
to be scrupulously courteous to my opponent.
But as a conscientious student of contempora
neous history I am bound to say that in the 40
years during which I have been an attentive countries in which thare is free silver coinage.

with Mr. Bryan's election, the silver dollar, I with their dependents it may, for au?ht we
measured by its purchasing power, will be I know, amount to 115,000,000 or 120,000,000. Who
worth not a cent more than the market value : are the debtors of these creditors? The buv
of the silver contained in it. If the market I Ings banks had, aocording to the reports of
slue of that quantity is GO cents, and you 1894, loaned out about one-half of the money
present at the mint 50 cents' worth of bullion,
fou get back, not a gold dollar, but a silver
iollar worth just 60 cents. You might, instead
Df taking your bullion to the mint, sell it in
the market for just the same amount of uon
sy. Indeed, bullion owners, unless they have
some special reason for tuking their bullion to
the mint, will take it to the market and sell
depositod with them on real estate mortgages
and invested the other half in United States
bonds, state, county and municipal bonds and
railroad and other bonds and stocks. The in
vestments of the life insurance companies
were about proportionately the same. The in
vestments In real estate mortgages are always
preferably in large amounts, on property be
lt there, as they very extensively do in all j longing to comparatively wealthy persons or
to business corporations. Jims the debtors to
these creditors belonging to the toiling roast-s
are the United. States, states and municipali
ties, railroad and other corporations and per
sons very much richer th:in the creditors.
Here we have, then, rich debtors owing to
many millions of poor creditors thousands of
millions of dollars.
Tho silver orators pretend that thoy hnve tin
toiling masses greatly at heart and thrt free
coinage is to be introduced mainly for their
benefit. How do they take care of the toiling
masses in this case? By bringing us down
upon tho silver basis they simply cut down
the thousands of millions of invested savings
of poor people to about B0 cents on tho dollar.
ing to all human ruason and experience, its j
price will, temporary fluctuations notwith- '
utanding, remain on the whole very near to !
the figure of the cost at which it can in large j
ljuantitics be produced. Jlr. Bryan's strange !
tnaginings have therefore proved only that I
when he speaks of government purchases of I
silver and fixing prices and creating a de
mand greater than the supply, he simply does
not know what free coinage is.
Every sensiblo person, I trust, will now ad
mit that free silver coinage in the United
States alone will make bimetallism, tho equal
use of both gold and Hilver as money, utterly
Impossible, here as well ns abroad. It will
confirm Europe in gold monometallism and
condemn us to silver monometallism the ex
clusive use of silver as money and of paper
baxed upon silver. No doubt this is what the
silver men are really aiming at.
How Free Silver Will Work.
Let us now consider how it will affect the
various interests of the people. The first
blessing we ore promised to flow from free
conage is a general risu of prices. This means
that the silver dollar will buy less than the
gold dollar did, and this for the reason that
it is no longer worth as much as the gold dol
lar. Evidently the promise of bimetallism, of
silver rising to its old price on the one hand,
and the promise of higher prices owing to a
less valuuble Bilver dollar on the other band
do not go together. The one or the other is a
fraud. Of course the fraud 1b the promise of
bimetallism. The rise of prices owing to the
debasement of the dollar will begin at once
as soon as gold departs und we slip on the sil
ver basis. Bread will be dearer; milk, coffee,
sugar, tea, meat, vegetables, will be dearer ;
clothes, shoes and bats will be dearer; rents,
furniture, coal, kerosene in short, every ar
ticle the price of which can bo raised by the
seller.
High prices are a two edged sword handy to
the seller, but unph usant to the buyer. They
press, of course, hardest upon those who are
compelled to buy most in proportion to their
income or their earnings. And who are they?
The poor people. What a rich family spends
upon the actual necessaries of life, the indis
pensable food, clothing und shelter, is very
little compored with its income. Most of its
expenditures go for things that are not neces-
quences would be if Mr. Bryan were elected
president with a congress to match. Mr.
Bryan would of course be anxious to have
his free coinage law enacted, but that could
not be, even if he called an extra session of
congress, until some time in April or May,
five or six months after the day of electiou.
But as soon on the 4th of November as the re
sult of the election was announced everybody
would know that the parity of gold and silver
would not be maintained.
It having been made certain by Mr. Eryan's
election that the parity of gold and silver
would not be maintained, there would be a
rush upon the treasury for the gold in it by
persons holding greenbacks entitled to re
demption, and the gold reserve would be ex
hausted in a twinkling. Gold will instantly
disappear from circulation to be hoarded or
exported. Why will it disappear? Because
every sensible porson when making a payment
will prefer to make It in the less valuable dol
lar and hold the more valuable gold dollar
back for more profitable use. Gold will there
fore quickly rise to a premium, and we shall
bo on the silver basis long before a free coin
age law can be enacted. What docs it mean to
be on the silver basis? The word "coin," wher
ever it appears in the law, will no longer mean
gold, as it was so far understood, but silver
alone. The greenback or treasury note re
decmble in "coin" will no longer be redeemed
in geld, as heretofore, but only in silver. The
United States bond payable In coin, no matter
whether gold was paid for it or whether it had
beon sold for the very purpose of buying gold
for the treasury, will be paid, principal and
Interest, in silver repudiation as flagrant at
the world ever witnessed. Our daily trans
actions In buying and selling, in paying and
receiving wages, will no longer be carried on
upon the basis of the gold dollar worth 100
cents, but of the silver dollar worth 60 oents
or thereabout, for the government will no
longer hold up the silver dollar to the value of
the gold dollar. That is what the silver basis
means. You can study in Mexico bow it
works.
The quantity of gold vanishing from circula
tion will amount to about tOOO.OOO.OOO, the dis
appearance of which will make a tremendous
hole in the volume of our currency. Noorly
one-third of It will be gone, and what remains
will be reduced nearly one-half In purchasing chasing of which may be suspended or post-
power. But, says tho silver man, there will be i poned without hardship. But the poor family,

who are they? Aside from the United States
and the Btates and municipalities, those
debtors are railroad and other corporation:)

friends profess to abhor very much as belong
ing to the "money power." Thus will the
silver standard bleed the poor creditor for tho
benefit of the rich debtor. May not the toil
ing musses pray heaven to deliver them of the
free coinage friends?
Ilow the People's Savings Will Fare.
And what have these friendj to say in their
own defense? I will again let Mr. Bryan's New
York oration speak. He says first, with regard
They tell the farmer most cruel deception
that he must and will be made independent
of the world abroad, while year after year
from 500,UA,000 to 1700,000,000 worth of our
agricultural products must seek the foreign
mnrket to find purchasers and while nothing
will hurt the farmer more thun a serious im
pairment of the great home market by u busi
ness crisis.
False Friends of I-abor.
They proclaim themselves the special cham
pions of the toiling masses, while their polley
would rob tho laboring man of half of his sav
ings mid grievously curtail the value of his
wages. Am i asked, if the silver standard
will relatively reduce wages, why so many
to the insurance companies, "Since the total j employers of labor are opposed to it? The
premiums received exceed the total losses paid
a rising standard must be of more benefit to
the companies than to the policy holders."
How wise I And that the companies may not
have this benefit he proposes by the silver
standard to strip the policies of the policy
holders of nearly half their value! But does
not Mr. Bryan know thut most of these com
panies are mutual insurances, and that what
benefits or injuros the companies therefore
benefits or injures the policy holders?
As to the saving bank depositors he says,
"Under a gold standard there is increasing
danger that tho savings bank depositors will
lose their deposits because of the inability of
the banks to collect their assets. " And to
avert this danger Mr. Bryan advises a policy
which would, by the introduction of the silver
standard, at once cut down the value of those
assets to 50 cents on the dollar. He further
says, "If the gold standard is to continue in
definitely, tho depositors in savings banks may
be compelled to withdraw their deposits in
I order to pay living expenses." Indeed! It is
a remarkable fact that since 1873, the year of
I the great crime, until 18H5, during the period
! when we bad to suffer all the calamities of thu
reason is obvious, because, aside from all con
siderations of sentiment, the prudent employ
ers of labor know that they would lose vastly
more through the disastrous disturbance of
business sure to be caused by a free coinage
victory than they could possibly gain by tha
cheapening of labor. And would not the toiling
masses (suffer most from that disturbance of
business? He Is a traitor to the laboring man
who tells him that he can profit by the ruin
of his employer.
The agitators denounce the gold standard as
the device of monarchs and aristocrats,
while the history of the world toaches thai
from time immemorial it was a favorite trick
of unscrupulous despots to fleece their subjects
by debasing tho coin of thu realm, and that
those who out of the monetary confusion
evolved fixed standards ot values and money
that would not cheat have always been rank
ed among the most meritorious benefactors of .
mankind and especially of the poor and weak.
They seek to inflame tho vanity of the Amer
ican people by telling tiium that we are groat
and strong enough to maintain any monetary
syHtoin we like and to ksep up the value of
our money without regard to all the world
gold standard, tho deposits in savings banks abroad while our own history teaches us that
said some time ago: "I think it," meaning the
victory of tho free coinage movement, "will
ruuaa a panic. But the country is in a deplor
able condition, and it will take extreme meas
ures to restore It toa condition of prosperty."
Whereupon tho St. Louis paper pointedly re
marks, "Evidently Mr. Bryan has heard of the
dootor who always threw his patient Into fits
before administering any curative medicine."
Just to.
the dollar falls iu value the manufacturer or
tho merchant marks up his goods. The work
Ingman or the clerk, finding himself hard
pressed by the risu in price of the necessaries
of llfo, applies for a corresponding Increase
of wages. The head of thu factory or the
mercantile establishment admits that some in
crease it called for. "But," says he, "yon are
not ths only person In trouble. The value of
our money It fluctnuting. We hardly know

a creditor to his customers and a debtor to
a century ngo the American people were
strong enough to shake off the yoke of Oroat
Britain, but not strong enough to save their
continental money from declining in value to
nothing; that iu rocent times tho American
people wore strong enough to subdue a gigan

an indefinite issue of greenbacks at par, and
that this republic may he able to conquer the
world, but it will not be able to muke twioe

its currency.

"Cheap Money" Fallacies.
But we are told that the Bryan panlccannot
last forever; that finally the business of the
country will adjust Itself to th silver basis;
that thru unrest will cease, and that confidence
i and prosperity will return. No, the unrest
will not eear-e, for with the establishment of
the silver basis will oome the disappointment
of those wbo brought It on.
The ultimata result Is not at all uncertain.
After a period nf Infinite confusion, disaster,
humiliation, suffering and misery ths Amer
ican people will at last rrgttn sanity of mind
and arrive again at som vary simple conclu
sions: That, If you call a peck buahel, you
will hav mors bushels, but not mor grain;
If you call a foot a yard, you will have mor
Itrdt, but not more cloth ; If you call a tquar
rod an acre, you will hav more re, but
not mors land, and If you call to cent or I
cent or a bit of patter, a dollar, you will
hav mors dollars, but not mors wealth In
deed, a groat deal IrM chanc for wealth, for
you will bava far lias credit, bvcaua far lea
honesty. Ws shall then hav learned again
that lb wit of man cannot although litaanlly
trie very bard Invent an economic system
under which everything yon hav to stll will
b dear and everything you bar to buy will
b cheap. And having got bold of these vary,
vary simple truths, tb American peupl will

They invoke for thoir cause the names of

would have stood aghast at their wild sohem
of creating by law a false value and would
have kicked out uf their presence as a public

Much thing the free coinage agitators tell'

that debtors should b held to psy mor than

they should be rclaaaed tn eorreapouatnoa

therefor bs right to raducs by frs stiver
