If P [CONTINUED FROM SIXTH PA GE 1 ' From this (remembering also that the cost of roduction has greatly decreased) we see that he fall in the price of silver has not been as great as we Would naturally expect. How is this accounted for? This wonderfully sustained price of silvcrcnn be accounted for in only one way—namely, by an enormous increase in tho use of si1Vcr. This has taken place in two (11- .rections: 1. In the arts. The use of silvc'r in the arts has increased in the last quarter of a century several hundred per cent. 2. As money. There has been added. to the full” tender silver money of the world in the last :23 years 2:11 amount equal to the accumu- lations of all the ages up to that time. In view of those facts it is simply trifling with words to say that silver has been "de- monetiZL-d.” and to say that “half our money has been struck down” is, plainly, to tell an unmitigated falsehood. Production and Coin-age of Silver In This . . Country. Our animal production of Silver is now. and has been for years more than a thousand times as grcat as it was before the war. and yet there are leaders among‘ the silverites who find it necessary to malign human nature and attack the memory of good men in order to explain why an ounce of silver is not worth as much now as then. . Our total coinage of silver since 1873, up to and including 1804. has been $538,444,467. This is an average of almost $25,000,000 21 year. or ten times the highest average annual coinage before 1873. And of this coinage the vast sum of $431,320,457 is in the form of dollars. every one of which is full legal tezfiler. Such an enormous coinage of silver was ever dreamed of in the world before. The Great Increase In Gold Production. But some one might properly ask in this . connection. “Has not the output of golzl in~ creased also?” The answer 15, “Res, enor- mously.” _ Up to 1818 the world’s annual production of gold never but once reached $14,000,000. while in this last half century it never but; once fell below $100,000,000. and in 1805 it; was over $200. 000,000. The world now produces more gold every month than it did in a year half a cen- tury ago. In other words. sir, the world’s pro- duction of gold in these last 50 years exceeds by far its entire production for the preceding 400 years. This is the fact hinted at in my col- league’s chart. but. not clearly brought out. And the annual production of gold alone is now more than four times as great; as was the production of both gold and silver up to 1840. This is the fact, sir, which has sounded the dcathknell of the free coinage of silver. Theoretical Versus PractIcal Bimetallism. The advocates of the unlimited coinage of silver say: “Open the mints to the free coin- age of both metals. Then they will both be coined, and both will circulate as money.” But though every'country in Europe and America has tried this experiment, though some are still trying it. the advocates of this method, cannot point to a single instance in which their method has ever succeeded. As we have al- ready sceii. France had. with her mints open to both metals, first a circulation of silver up to about 1850, and then a-rcvcrsal to gold only. Our own experience here in the United States has been the same. Our coinage ratio of 15 to 1, from 1702 to 1834, overvalued silver and 1111‘ dervnlued gold, so during those years, at- least the last :20 of them, our circulation consisted of silver and no gold. The change of ratio in 1834 and 18.37 to 15.98 to 1 (commonly spoken of as “16 to l”) overvalued gold and undervalued silver. and silver gradually retired from cir- culation as money. No one would part with 871.25 grains of silver (the amount of pure sil~ ver in a. dollar) for 100 cents as money when he could sell it for 103 cents as bullion. And this has been the experience of every nation that has ever tried the experiment. A double standard is, therefore. an alternating standard. It is not bimetallism, but one-at-a- time motallism. What the people want is the use of both met- als, each in the way that will best serve their purposes. They want the actual circulation of both. not simply the promise of it. You free silverites offer them a method that has always failed and iii the nature of things always will. We offer a method that has never failed under normal conditions. and that is why it has been adopted by all the leading nations of the world. You offer a law permitting both to be coined, hoping that both will be. We offer a plan whereby the desired result is secured with cer- tainty. Yours is the bimetallism of the statute book. Ours is the bimetallism of the counting room. Yours is theoretical bimetallism. Ours is practical bimetallism. A Short History of Coinage. In the evolution of money the metals gradu- ally superseded all other commodities as the medium of exchange. Iron and copper came to be roduced in such quantities that they ceased to e “precious metals” and gave way to sil- ver. In the course of time. as civilization and the demands of trade required it. gold was in- troduced into one country after another. In this evolution a nation’s needs and progress can be pretty accurately determined by noting the kind of money used by it. At first the metals passed by weight. To save the trouble of carrying scales and the danger of being cheated by means of alloys the custom gradua 1y grew up of having the ruling prince cut the metals into pieces of convenient size and shape and stamp on one side of the piece its weig t and fineness (and later on its worth) and on the other side the features of the prince as the author of the stamp. This was the origin of coinage. But princes were sometimes tempted by their greed or their need to put into the coins less of the metal than they should. Then, in order to compel people to accept these debased coins in payment of Obligations, the princes de- creed that the coins must be accepted. his was the origin of what are known as “legal tender” laws. For hundreds of years the money of Rome was copper. We have a memento of that time in our English word “estimate.” The Latin for copper is “aes,” and to estimate literallY means to give the value in copper. bout 300 B. C. copper was dethroned and silver became the standard money. About 150 B. 0. gold be- gan to be used in Rome as money. With the fall of Rome Europe was for about: five cen- turies almost entirely without gold money. the currencies of mediwval Europe being of silver and copper. The reintroduction of gold coinage began at Florence, Italy, in 1252 with the coinage of the fiorin. As a result of the Crusades the commerce of? Florence, Genoa. Venice and other states lying along the Mediterranean had so increased as to demand the use of a. more convenient money than silver. Gradually other nations, astheir commerce became great enough. introduced the use of gold money with silver money. The Crusades not; only enlarged trade along the Mediterranean. but they also opened up to Europe the then only gold yielding districts— the Crimea—so that the demand for gold mOney and the source of supply came together. The use of gold as money was thereby both neces- sitated and made possible. .Then began the coinage of both metals. Then began. too. as a consequence. the monetary troubles with which the history of the next five centuries abounds—the alternation of sil‘ ver money and gold money. the frequent changes in the ratio in the vain attempt to keep both, the edicts against shipping out either kind of coin. the execution of promi- nent merchants and others for seeking gain by exporting the metal undervalued in the mints of one country and overvalued .in the mint-s of another. These “open mints for both metals” were not in consequence of any theory of “bimetallisni. ” but of what Leon Say, quot- ed before, so aptly characterized as “the prim- itive inability of the legislators to combine to- gether the two precious metals otherwise." Oresme. Copernicus, Gresham and others had at different times and in different coun- tries pointed out the source of the trouble. but the “primitive inability of the le islators” left the countries without a reme y. And the supply of gold and silver was so small (as will be seen by reference to the table showing their annual production) that the nations kept on, hoping against hope (as we are a t to do when we see no alternative) that some ow the open mint for both metals would give the circula- tion of both. But, as we have seen, these hopes were indulged on] to be disappointed. Eng. land cut 1: e Gor ian knot in 1816' and was freed from the financial enibarrassments on this score that had afilicted her. But other na- tions kept on in their old way. with the old results of alternating standards, losing at one time their gold and at another time their sil- ver. The flood of gold at. the middle of this cen- tury opened the way for relief. Our own coun- try. as might be expected from the enterprise and intelligence of our people, was the first to act. As we have seen. congress as early as 1853 (before the birth of the Republican party) passed an act making silver coins subsidiary and limiting their coinage and tender. France began to move i111857, and in 1865 the countries composing the Latin union adopted the princ1— plc of limited coinage and tender of silver. Germany followed in 1871-73. And the principle has now been adopted by nearly all the civ1- lized nations of the world. By reference to the table showing the pro- duct-ion of gold and silver it will be seen that shortly after 1870 the world’s product-ion of Si]- ver began to increase enormously. leaping from an average of $5., 3,000 in the period of 1865-70 to an average of ..Sl.80~1,000_ in the period of 1870-75. It was at this time that the theory of so called “bimetallism” was born. As I said before, it came into being “born of recent needs and hopes and fears." The production of silver was; becoming so largo that it was becoming hard to find a market for the prod- uc . This was the reason for the insertion of the “trade dollar” in the final edition of the act of 1876. The necessities of the silver pro- ducers were not yet so great; that. they had the audacity to propose what. they did a.terward About 1876 they began to talk about “bimetal- liszn” and its alleged beauties. “'hat Free Coinage Means. ~ What does “free coinage.” as it is called. mean? It does not mean that the government, would buy any of the silver. not. an ounce. The government would simply receivetlie sil- ver from its owner, stamp it and hand it back to 111111.: Does that create any demand for the silver? Buckwheat flour is now used to a limited ex- tent for food. The demand for buckwheat flour is entirely due to this fact. Would open- ing a. new buckwheat flour mill create any de- mand for buckwheat? Certainly not, any more than the reaping and thrashing did. These are all simply steps in )i'cpariiig the'supply. The market would still mm to be found in compe- tition with other kinds of flour. And similarly the “open mint" would create no demand whatever for silver any more than the smelting or the mining does. These aro all 1simply steps in preparing the supply. The de- mand is in the need of money of various kinds with which to make exchanges. The owner of the coin would still have to go forth and find a. market for this kind of money in competition with other forms of money. The inimiiig would, therefore. not create any demand for the silver. but would simply (put it into shape to meet whatever real deman there might be for silver coin in the channels of trade in com- petition with other forms of money. _ And, sir. because of the bulkiness of silver in proportion to its value, the demand for sil- ver coin in actual business is very limited. As a matter of fact there is more silver coin in this country today than can be used as coin. Experience has shown that the business of the country needs about $125,000,000 in silver coin of all kinds, including trainer coins. But we at- ready have a stock of silver coin amounting to over $500.000.000. So there is absolutely no trade demand for more silver coinage for some time to come. \Vages In Mexico. Every one will admit that. so far as legisla- tion can affect the matter. that system is best under which those who earn their daily bread by their daily toil receive the best returns for their services. The gentleman from Texas [Mr. Bailey], who has just spoken. points to Mexico as “prosperous” in conse ucnco of having the free coinage of silver. e quotes from an arti- cle in a recent; number of The North American Review, written by the Mexican minister. Mr. Romero. This distinguished representative is naturally loyal to his own country and desir— ous of making as strong a statement as possi- ble as to her prosperity. He claims that manu- facturers are making large profits. But what; does he find to say about the wages of work- iiigmen in Mexico? Listen: ‘ “Although our wages are low, there has 10011 in recent years a marked tendency to their increaso. ” , Their wages are “low.” even in silver. What about increase in wages? The most that he can claim is that there has been a. “tendency” in that direction—mo real increase worth men- tioning specifically. Workingincn will do well to “ponder on those things.” - The following statement appears in bulletin No. 9, 1891, of the bureau of the American re- publics: . “One of the greatest evils (referring to Mex- icm at the present timeds the existence of a scale of wages which defies all power Of reduc- tion. which robs the laborers of all sense of dignity or feeling of association with the rest of their fellow citizens. and having reduced them to a condition of abject abasemcnt dete- riorates to a like extent their productive pow- er and the measure of their ability. They are content to regard themselves as a plant or machinerv which moves by extraneous aids only and has no power of volition, and no de- sire to exercise it if it bad.” And yet Mr. Romero finds it impossible to claim more than that there has been “a ten- dency” to improvement in wages. We have before us. Mr. Chairman, a special message from the president asking us to make an appropriation to pay certain railroads for carrying certain people from the Mexi- can lino to various parts of the United States. What is the story behind this? Sini- ply this. sir: Some of our workingmen, having been told how fearfully they were being abused under our system. and being as- sured that things were “booming” in Mexico, became the victims of their misplaced confi- dence in free silver orators and went to Mox- ico. Then they learned the truth, finally com- ing home at public expense. How many more of our workingmen will allow themselves to be made victims of similar tales? How About American \Vorkingmen? And now 'let us see how the situation of workingmen in this country compared in 1890 with that during the so called “bimetallic times.” ' From the famous senate report on wholesale prices. transportation and wages. before refer- red to. I take the facts for the following table of wages in leading occupations every tenth ear for some time before the war. when we ad our mint “open to the free coinage of both metals,” in comparison with wages in 1890. a sixth of a century after we finally adopted our present system of unlimited coinage of gold and limited coinage of silver: ,——Wa es per diem.—-—-\ Occupation. 1840. 1 '0. 1860 1890.

Any young workingnian who is at all taken by the glowin g promises of the free silverites would 0 well to ask one of these old gentlemen how much he really was paid in those “bimetallic” days and how much e could buy with his daily pay in the way of necessaries and comforts. We have seen that the condition of American work-ingmen has vastly improved since the days when we had free coinage of silver. It has been shown. also, that opening our mint to coinage of silver on private account would at once send us to a silver basis. How would this affect wa es and the men who earn them? Every man w o earns his daily bread by his daily toil owes it to himself and those whom he holds dear to think this over carefully. Any man who will examine daily quotations of prices as reported in the newspapers will soon discover that they change from day to day and sometimes change very greatly in the course of a month. But every man who earns wages is familiar with the fact that they change slowly. an increase of 10 er cent in a year being quite a gain. Prices c ange quick- ly; wages change slowly. Now let us grant what the advocates of free silver claim-that going to the silver basis would “double the prices of commodities.” Does any workingman believe that wages would be doubled too? Even if they should be. how much would the wage earner profit by the change? No intelligent. workingman believes for a minute that his wages would be increased by more than a small per cent—that is. while his wages might be nominally in- creased somewhat the prices of the things he has to bug would be increased very much more. So 1; 6 real purchasing power of a day's work would be greatly diminished. All expe- rience shows that any debasement in the mon- ey system of a country raises rices faster and farther than it does wages. his might influ- ence some employers to consider the propriety of debasing our currency, but it is precisely the reason why workingmen should oppose it. So far as workingmen are concerned the whole silver question is to be summed up in one query, Do you want your wages cut down? If so. vote for the free coinage of silver. Vfould Not Help the Farmer. What inducements. do the silver producers hold out to the farmers to get them to co-Oper- ate in this scheme? They promise the farmers higher prices for their products. The sensible question which every thoughtful farmer will naturally ask is. Could they and would they keep their promise? Let us see what the chances are. , They claim that “silver would increase in value and would carry with it the prices of farm products." To say that there is any relation between the price of a metal dug out of our Western hills (depending for its value upon conditions peculiar to itself) and thefpriceof any of the vegetable products of our elds (each of which depends for its value upon a set of conditions peculiar to itself)—to tell men that there is an relation between the prices of things so di erent in their nature and uses. is to insult the intelligence of those who are addressed. But looking at it. from another standpoint, let us see what the probabilities are that the promise could be kept. One would think. to hear these gentlemen talk that silver production is one of the over- shadowing i’ndustrics of this country. Let us make a few comparisons. ' This total Value f the silver product of the United State-s iii 1 even when reckoned at the price lit-fore. . was $82,101,000, and this was tho gi'vntcst yield in the history of our sil- Vcr production (Mint Report. page 242). According to the Statistical Abstract. page 207, the farm value of the cotton crop of this country in 1801 was $350,000,000: that of the wheat crop was, in round numbers, $400,000,- 000. and ”13.001! the corn crop was over $800,- 000,000.

Why, 511‘, the clucking hens of our farms ['0‘ duce more wealth every year than these si ver ‘ miners. who so atronizingly tell the farmers what they will 0 for them. . Farmer friends of mine in Minnesota have told me that before the war they haveliauled wheat 50 miles to market with an ox team, oc- cupying days in each trip. and got 45 cents a bushel for it in wildcat money, which was in danger _Of being worthless when they got home. hot in those days the mint was open to the “free and unlimited coinage of silver.” The Situation of Farmers In 1373. So much has been said by free silver orators i to mislead farmers into the idea that every- thing wfis prosperous with them before 1873 a paragraph that have copied from the re- port of the Iowa State Agricultural society for 1873. It is from an address delivered by C. Rogers at the Harrison county fair. and gives a faithfulpicture of the situation at that time in that mighty state: “Proud of those aspects and of her progress in practical agriculture. still the condition of the laboring man and farmer is far from what- is desirable. They have worked. watched and waited for an adequate reward until weari- ness has well nigh turned to hopelessness. Farming has been a financial failure for the ast three years. Hard toil has Opened up fine Farms and brought to the bins the products of unexampled harvests. but the sales have hard- 1y paid expenses and bought cheap clothing until the coming harvest. There is no surplus to improve buildings, purchase thoroughbred stock and furnish the home with any of the luxuries of art and literature.” - \Vonld Be Hard on Debtors. Let us suppose that the advocates of free sil- ver sweep everything before them, capturing the presidency and the house and continuing to control the senate. What would be the nat- ural thing to expect? What would you do if some one owed you and you were not protect- ed by n gold clause in the contract? You would demand what was coming to you. Every man having an obligation coming due would, in self defense, demand all that might be coming to him while he could still get paid in money of full value. Debtors would be compelled to pay up at once or give new and better secu- rity, with a promise to Bay in money of the present standard. On 1: e maturing of their obligation they would certainly have to pay an enormous premium for the kind of money required. They would not escape making pay‘ ment in money Of the resent standard and would have to take tieir chances of getting enough more for their products to enable them to m akc the payment without actual loss. They certainly would not gain anything and would take all the risk of losing—losing not only the premium )Vhlclb they would surely have to pay. but depending upon the forbearance of their creditors not to lose all they possess. And what is the probability of the creditor being able and willing to grant concessions? Dcpositors in banks would withdraw their de‘ posits. This would compel the banks to call in their loans. The four months between election and inauguration would be strewn with the wrecks of business houses now giving employ- ment to millions of people. The plan of the free silverites, as all ex eri- ence shows, would subtract from our vo ume of money a very large and exceedingly valua- ble part of it. It would diminish our money by the amount of our gold and its representa- tives, at the very lowest estimate. $600,000,000. Its disappearance would be immediate. Moreover, sir, we would have poorer money. The silver money would be bulkier and less convenient than what we have now. And it would lack in stability. ’And while “money makes the mare go” we should not forget, Sir. that it must. be stable money. ' Creditors, as a rule. would therefore be un- able. no matter how well disposed. to grant concessions to those who were owing them. We who are in debt. sir, are the ones most vi‘ tally. interested in the defeat, the overwhelm- ing defeat, of every proposal for the free coin- age of silver. . Marvelous Performance of a Circus Dollar. When I was a small b y, I saw something that I shall never forget} It was at a circus. The clowns and some other employees ar‘ ranged themselves in a circle. Let; us say that there were 20 of them in all. No. 1 said to No. 2: “I owe you $2. I’ll pay up as soon as I can." No. 2 made this statement to No. 3, No. 3 to No. 4. and so on around the circle, No. 20 say- ing it to No. 1. No. 1 shoved his hands into his pockets and with a look of pleased surprise pulled out a dollar. Turning to No. 2, he said: “I didn’t know that I had that dollar. Here's so much on account.” No. 2 took the dollar. and with similar language passed it on to No. 3. and so it went around the ring. No. 20 passed it to NO. 1. who received it with a smile and started to put it into his pocket. but instead he turned to No. 2 and said, “I didn’t expect to be able to pay ygu the balance so soon, but And so it went around the rin . finally coming back to No. 1, who with a sa - isfied smile put it into his pocket. To the little boy who looked as I did thirty odd years ago, this was simply the funny Work of clowns. to be laughed at and forgotten. It was not forgotten. however. and to the man older grown and charged with the serious con- sideration of the affairs of a great nation it il- lustrates the profoundest truth in finance. What is that truth? It is this: Under proper conditions the working power of a. dollar is be ond all human computation. ' was very much surprised to hear this aft- ernoon a man so rominent as my friend from Tennessee [Mr. cMillin] speak as if money paid for terms was lost to circulation. I have often heard men speak as if they thought that there must be as many dollars in existence as there are dollars’ worth of business to be transacted. What would a farmer say to an agent for bushel baskets who should attempt to convince him that he needed as -many bas- kets as he expected to raise bushels of crop? The farmer wo d feel that his intelligence had been insul d, and 'ustly so. He knows that he can use the same asket over and over again, and the quantity measured in a iven time will depend on the speed with whic the one handling it works. And then, if properly used, it; is ready to do as much more. So with the ardstick. the pound weight and the dollar. ach can do an almost; Infinite amount of work if properly used. What are the conditions of big es efficiency in money-— under what conditions can a given amount of money do the most work? Let us examine our illustration; The dollar in the circus ring did the work of forty dollars in five minutes and was just; as capable of accomplishing as much more in the succeeding five minutes. Why was this? Sim- pl§ because it moved promptly. ‘ ow let us examine the matter a little more closely. Why did it move so? Why was each one so prompt to pass the dollar on? Because he felt goo —that is. he felt honest. He felt that when he owed money and had it in his pocket the ODIKI proper thing for him to do was to pay up. oreover, each had confidence in the other. There was a feeling of respect and good Will among the men in that ring. This is one. of the conditions under which. money does Its work most effectively. What is the other condition? Why was each man willing to accept the dollar In ayment of what was comin" to him? Because 0 knew that it was a good dollar. He knew that when- ever lie wanted to use it, whether it might be that day or not for ten years. it would be just as good as when he acce ted it.
