So that the mouelary dialocatioii hat

than of any other crop la tbe years
1872 to 18tt4, inclusive, according to
the bureau of statistics, the amalleet
percentage of export wat 64.68 in 1886
tnd the largeat 71.88 in 1878. In 18. 1
it waa 71.80 per oent, to that more

461,486 to Ureal Dritain. In thit
great Liverpool market oar cotton
earn in direct competition with the
oolton of tha world, grown ia Eaat
India, Weat India, Egypt, Smyrna,
Braxil and elsewhere. When all thit
cotton met ia thit open market the
lowest prica at whioh any consider
ible part of it oould be told, due al
lowance being made fa grade and

Thit prioe wtt paid 16 the bom

Tha monetary dlaloactioa referred to
by Secretary Manning occurred because
tha demonetisation of tilver in Europe
and Ameri oa bad no influence what
ever upon tilver-naing oonntriet of tha
East. It wat ex pec tod that tbe effect
of demonetisation would be to uni
versal that price would adjutt them
telvet to the gold itandard all over the
world; In "other word a, that price in
tllver-nalog oonntriet wonld rite to at
to conform themselves to tha gold priot

or tb mint tella ut that on July 14
ute London prioe of silver wit4ul.
peuoe an ounce (eqaal to f 1. 0726) and
the New York price waa 11.08 per fine
ounoa. Cm AuguM IV ailver bullion
waa worth II 31 per fine ounce in New
York, and on September 8 it waa
worth 64 5-8 pence per flue ouuoe in
London (equivalent to I1.1U75I. At
tbe coining ' price of ailver bullion it
II. 8924 per ouuoe. it It teen that tht
prioe of bullion went up to within 8
centa of coinage price aim ply because it
waa supposed that tbe Harrison ad
ministration was friendly to ailver
an 1 tbat the Sherman act waa to result
eventually in freeooinage At toon at
it waa learned that the administration
wai opposed to ailver coinage, tbe gold
.prioe of tilver bullion went down, ai it
naturaally would If the bop, and
' perhaps expectation, of independent
free coinage by the United State wat
sufficient to raiae the prioe of tilver
bulliou to f 1.81. is it not an aba Mute
certainty that independent frte ooin
age of ailver by the United Statea on
equal terms with gold would fetch tbe
price up to f 1 ay.y an ounce?
Now, what would be the effect on
ootton? Our East Indian competitor
would go into the Liverpool market
witb the aauie old grade of ootton at
I Ibe tame old
prioe indifferent, aa b
tore, to tlMH gold prioe of ailver. All
he wants it a rupee for three pounds of
ootton. He gets it, jutt aa be haa got-
ten it since and before 1878. But the
Englishman, when ht goet to bit bank
to buy hit exchange, flndt that tilver
bullion la worth tbe ooinlng prioe and
that be hat to pay 48 oenta in gold tor
every rupee a worth 01 exchange he
sends to India. Right her oomet tbe
Amerioan planter be, too, with the J
tame old grade of ootton and finds
that Eaat Indian cotton ia fetching 10
oent a pound in gold, inrtead of 8
oenta, thai being the lowest prioe
against which be hat to ooropeta. At
onoe bt it able to obtain abont twioe
1 much ai be otherwise would, and
thit independently of all other fao -
tort affectiug tb cotton trade,
How oan an actual faot ia commerce
Be demonstrated any better than 1 have
ahown the absolute connection between
the prioe of cotton and the bullion
prioe of ailver? If the ailver oonntriet
of the Orient had felt the demonetisa
tion of tilver end responded thereto by
a rite in price as eipreaaed la tb til
ver money they use, oar planter would
not nave bad to meet to long at tilver
prior bold in the Eait and there ia
no probability of their rising wt have
got to sell every pound of Amerioanv
cotton in cloae competition with ootton
old at the gold prio of bullion tilver.
There it no escape from thia ooaolunion.
But It ia said that tb low prioe ot
ootton it in a large measure dst (to
heavy crops, or what it called over
production. In looking over a reoord
ot more than fifty year I find tha low
cat avtragt Liverpool qooUtiona for
anyone year to be ia 1847-48, when
the prioe ranged from 1.68 to 6.75
pence a pound sn averaga of 4 88
pen oe a pound. This waa just bfeort
tha diacoverie of gold ia California
and Australia, and may bt aooonnted
for by the aoarcity of primary money.
Tha itaplt never want to low again
until. I'lVa-wi, when tbe price ran from
8. 71 to 4.75 pence a pound in Liver,
pool an averaga of 4 35 pence a
pound. The crop of 18611 SO, tbe larg
eat, by nearly WM,000 balee, fetched on
MU average 8.01 peooe in Liverpool
Let ua oompare IHiV with IfcoO, and
IHM with lHii and aea what conclo
ioni are to be forced upon 01 tt to tbt
iiiatUT of overproduction. Bo far aa
we have any at all reliable autiatict,
tbe cotton aopply of tht world waa in
