THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1806, knows that, by the method of the ad- niinistration in construing the laws, sil- ver now performs no function that reonbacks would not, and that silver, diver certificates and greenbacks are were token money, all resting on the taugrerously narrow basis of that metal which is the money of ultimate redemp- tio u. 'You admit, however, that the free age of silver would r*nduce some tiation. Suppose it wi t 10 or 20 per cent, as Senator Jones thinks, Would not even that much inflation do great barm in dislocating existing busi. ness conditions?’ History bus answered that question conclusively that arguments is un- necessary. In 1849-56 the specie infla- tion throughout the world is al- leged to have been some 25 per cent, and in this country there was a general currency infla- tion of 40 per cent. Was any- body badly hurt?

Even so did they in 1848 56. And why not again? In trath the wages of more than half labore have got to rise before there can be a rise in necessaries. Monometallists have conveniently overlooked the fact that 60 per cent of the laborers in the United States do not work for fixed money wages ; they produce, and what they sell the products for constitutes their wages, It is self evident, therefore, that a rise in the price of the product is itself a rise in wages. This class includes all the farmers, cotton, sugar and tobae co growers, vegetable gardeners, fisher. MINES OF metallist our re men, growers of all kinds of live stock for food, and many others that 1 cannot detail, One of the worst errors of the monometallist is in assuming that the great mass of our workers are hired la- borers, and they get that impression from | would in it | HAVE | BROUGHT | ABOUT BY A CONTRACTION AND, | | ABOUT $1,500,000, ATING | THE FALL | | YEARS AGO | ENOUGH TO GOLD | MANUFACTORIES | THE FARMERS CANNOT BUY THE | to stop the {IF from ao falling t r | will give {| stimuiate | having | bands | even of a trifling | will | ex] times | you, : prod | INCT ust such misleading documents as the Al. drich report, about which so much has been said. Examine that report careful ly and you will find that the working. men in all the trades mentioned in it do not together number quite one-fourth 08 many as the farmers of the country, And their mothod of treating this subject accounts for a very large part of the ill humor among farmers, In spite of the census and common sense, our alleged statesmen and edonomists insist on treating the subject as if the farmer were not a laboring man. A eon- gressional committee is appointed to go out and prove that wages have risen, and of course they prove it. But how? They take the highest wages paid to the most skillful la- borers in the highest priced cities at the busi- ent season of the year. As a rule they take only thoge laborers who are in well organized trades unions, although they are but a tenth of the la- \/ borers of the N. ¥. Herald. country, and they are extremely careful not to take into the account the number who are earning no wages at all, which is a pretty considerable item when you reflect that in Ohio, for instance, the coal miners only averaged 148 days of full work last year. If you will take all la- borers, especially all who produce the necessaries of life from the soil, and sount lost time, you will find that since J, except in cases where they have bunormally kept up by trades ages have declined in ratio as commodities, The Farmers’ Meager Income.

For con: yeni noe's sake I will state in the brief est possible form what silverites believe on this subject. We maintain: I. That there is not enough gold in the world and cannot be enough pro- duced to maintain the present level of prices. If monometallism prevails, there must be a still farther shrinkage, 1 dare not conjecture how fae it will go, but I am certain that it will not stop short of 40 cent wheat and 4 cent cotton and other things in propertion. Gold will then be a far more ‘honest money '' than now, for it will buy much more You see how peat and complete this honest money argument is and bow it rapidly grows stronger as prices go down, for, if a dollar which will pay : bushels of wheat and 18 pounds of cot But Ung denies it how 1 gestiona How eh to me reduce the increase, | LABOI THAN | WOULD?

That there is not enough of both gold and silver to restore the prices of 1870-8 or of 1850-8, A Beal Gold Basis, 8. That in consequence of tho much greater increase of population and pro- duction than of the metals, if there had been no demonetigation, both gold and silver would have gained greatly in val- ue since 1873, The villainy of mono- metallism lies in the fact that all the gain has been concentrated in gold, way of general conclusion, I believe that monowmetallism for the world is impos- gible, and that Europe only maintains it on the condition that other nations do vot. In fact, if if is to be maintained in this country and Europe, we must prepare for another shrinkage so great that the people will not endure it. There is a spirit abroad in the country now that is not very pleasant to think of, and if there is another turn of the screw—and there must several turns be- fore we get down to a real gold basis—it ismuch to be feared that there will be something like general bank ruptey and repu- liation.
