THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SATURDAY,' JANUARY -' 9, 1892.'
w-
THE money QUESTION
Discussed at Length in an Address
by the Silver Committee of
THE NATIONAL Br-METALLISTS.
Uliy Ihcy Think the Present Policy Is
Unsound and Unsafe.
THE KIND OF REFORM TIIEf. ADTOCATE
"Washington; D. C., .Tan. a The
National Executive Silver Committee to
nisht issued the following address:
The Xational Executive Silver Commit
tee in session at "Washington declares that
continued experience demonstrates that
there can be no adequate or final solution
of the money question but hy re-endowing
silver with the money function and making
silver coins staudard money coequal with
gold lor all money usei.
The present policy of making subsidiary
money of silver to be redeemed in gold, and
of piling continually higher the fabric of
credit and credit money on a constantly
diminishiug basis of gold is unsound and
unsafe, and must come to an end. The
enormous increase in bank credits and other
forms of credit currency in recent year,
relatively to the volume of gold in which
they are ultimately redeemable, imperils
financial stability everywhere, and it is a
standing menaceto all business enterprises;
for under this svstem panics must occur
more certainly ami more frequently, and be
more disastrous when they do occur.
More Standard Money "Wanted.
"What is wanted is not more credit cur
rency relatively to standard money, but
more -standard money relatively to credit
and credit currency a broader basis oi pri
mary nioucv. and not a higher superstruc
ture ot credit devices. This can besecured
onlv by raakinc siher and cold coin equal
as money metals with the coinage of both
on equal terin.
The act ot July 14, 1890, as interpreted br
the Treasury Department, under which
4,500,000 ounces of silver are bought and
stored a collateral security for notes re
deemable in gold, makes no addition to
standard monev, while it raises higher the
fabric of credit oa a foundation that is grow
ing narrower and not broader. This addi
tion to the currency volume might as well
be of greenbacks as in the form now given
to it. It require--, therefore, no extraordi
r.ary financial acumen to foresee that this
condition cannot long be maintained.
One Eolation of the Difficulty.
The plain solution of the difficulty is the
full monetization of the silver accumulated
under this act, to the end that this and all
other silver that anybody may choose to de
vote to monetary use, may go to swell the
volume of money of final redemption for all
other forms of currency.
The facts upon which bi-metallists base
thee conclusions are undisputed and in
disputable. The arguments by which they
are established are unanswered and un
answ erablc.
Thee lacts are that the supply of gold is
admittedly inadequate to provide for the
world's needs for monev; that many times
more people are now made to use gold ex
clusively as standard money than in 1873;
that the production of gold is diminishing,
while population, wealth and commerce and
the consumption of gold in the arts are
rapidly increasing the increase in the de
mand for the arts and dentistrv in the
United States alone being sufficient to
absorb, according to the report of the Di
rector of Mint, in ten years more the entire
gold product of this countrv. That the
value of gold under these influences has
largely increased, and must continue to in
crease, and prices as certainly continue to
fall, is too manifest to require argument,
i-cslcs That AreJfot Admired.
"What a fraudulent pretense, in view of
these facts, tc insist that gold alone is a
Ftaplc or an honest money standard !
Scales that measure equities with no
more precision or fairness than gold regis
ters the value ot products and the equities
between debtor and creditor and in deferred
payments would be tolerated nowhere out
side of a robber's den.
In view of the glaring facts which no one
pretends to deny of the change in the money
Mandard through the increase in the value
ot gold, as the direct and necessary conse
quence of demonetizing silver andrestrict
itig the money function to gold-alone, what
cite than foolish homa e to knavery is the
babble about "honest money" and
'short dollars," which constitutes so large a
part of the stock answers to the demand for
free bi-metallic coinage.
Nothing could be more absurd or ridicu
lous than to.claini that a shapeless lump of
silver, to which monetarv use is denied,
measures the value of silver coins which
have monetary use added to whatever
oilier use silver may be applied. Gold
treated as silver has been would act in the
fame way.
Enough of Itoth the Metals.
. If. Mnce 1873, both metals had been ae
cewllile for money uses, as for indefinite
ac before, the annual addition to the me
tallic stock of money for the world would
liave been somewhat less than from 1849 to
187.1, but would, probably, have been suf
ficient to hac maintained reasonable sta-
liility in the value of standard money. So
now," w hilc it i as certain as that time will
continue, that under existing conditions,
through inalpquacy of supply for money
purposes, cold will continue to increase in
value and prices measured by gold con
tinue to fall, it is reasonably certain that
the supply ol both metals will be sufficient
to maintain fairly stable relations between
money and commodities, and thus secure to
the industnal world what it has sorelv
lacked since 1873.
The butraboo of foreign silver coming
liere no longer alarms intelligent men.
Under liee coinase, silver would be SI 29
an ounce here; it is SI 38 in India, and with
open min's would be ?1 33 in the States of
Latin Union, which is the value of all the
coined silver in Europe.
Tl.e Greatest Influence on "vTheat.
The requirements of England and of the
continent lor siUcr to pa- balances to the
East would not be materially changed,
vliether a profit of the difference been 9.1
CMitsandfl 3S were made on the silver sent
there, or only the difference between 51 29
and 1 ."K India absoibed quite as much
sin er in il-e ears before the fall of silver
lirre a since then, and will continue to ab-t-o'l)
both sold and silver. Hut whether our
silver goes abroad at Do cents or SI 29 is quite
.material to this country, not only from the
ihrxci luv on the exported silver, but in the
far greater loss sustained on the price of
wheat and cotton and their manufactured
products which have and will follow closelv
the rise and fall ol silver bullion for reason
so often explained. If wheat at the present
time is U-ss influenced bv the price of sil
ver bullion than cotton, it is due entirely
to the failure ol the wheat crop in Europe.
When I'rotluclion Would Be a Crime.
If the value of silvcrhere should fall to 50
cents an ounce, at it probably would if de
monetized as gold monometalliits would
would have it, wuile its purchasing power
among two-thirds of the population of the
globe continues at from Si 33 to SI 38, then
the production of silver in this country
should be made a crime, as its continual pro
duction and sale hcie at the low price,
while used in other countries at the high
price, would be destructive of our agricul
tural and manufacturing interests.
The silver question, therefore, is an issue,
and on that vitally concerns the welfare,
not only ot the industrial classes, but of
business men generally, and it will not do
when at the bidding ol any partv; nor can
i: be ignored, thrust aside or dodged. It is
a living issue and must be met and settled;
and the ouly permanent settlement of it is
the restoration of lree bi-metallic coinace
or the ultimate abandonment of the prin
ciple of automatic regulation of money
through the production of the precious
metals. "
HANDS OFF THE TARIFF.
A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE IJT THE
NATIONAL. WOOL TTOKKEKS.
They Oppose the Abolition of the Tax on
Itan Wool "Why the Act Should Not Be
Tinkered It Should Be Given a Fair
Test All Round First.
Boston, Jan. a ."ywria'." An import
ant phase of the wool tariff agitation was
developed in Boston to-day at the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers. These gentlemen
came from all parts of the country and
represented a large majority of the capital
invested in the manufacture of woolen
goods. They arc the ones who would be
most directly interested in the proposed
abolition ol the tnriffon raw wool. The
subject was carefully considered in secret
session to-day. and, as a result of the de
liberation's, the following strong remon
strance against any dickering with the.
present tariff law was prepared and adopted
and will be forwarded to Congress at once:
The National Association of Wool Manu
facturers rcspectfullv petitions the Fifty
second Conzres asainst any chansre in the
tariffnet of 190, particularly schedule Kof
that act relating to wool and wooleus, for
tho following reasons:
1. The tariff act of lS901vas been in force
but 15 months. It is a matter of general
agreement that from three to five years of
practical operation are required to detei
inine the actual effects of a new tariff upon
the revenues oi the Government, upon tne
industries specially affected by new rates of
dntv, and upon the consumers of articles to
w hich such new rates of duty apply.
2. The retention of the wool and woolens
schedule in its present form until it can be
thoroughly tested can work no injury to
woolen manufacturer-. There Is universal
agreement among manufacturers that the
tariff is now accurately and scientifically
adjusted in its relationship between the
duties on raw material and the finished
prodnct.
3 On the other hand no injury to consum
ers has resulted from the law, notwithstand
ing the fact that the increase In duties on
woolen goods by tlie tarifforiSUO w as greater
than in any other schedtilo (necessitated by
the unfortunate and illogical disproportion
between the wool duties and the goods
duties in the tailff of lt&J) there lias been no
Increase wnatovcr in tho market price of
domestic woolen Roods, on tne contrary,
all the staple woolen Roods, and most of the
lancy goods, may now he obtained in tho
greatest abundance at a cost to consumers
less than ever before in the history of tlio
countrv-.
f. What the woolen manufacturer of the
United States now needs, before all else, is a
period of entire rest from tariff agitation
aiming at radical departure from the con
ditions upon w hich the Industry is now or.
ganized and to which it has been fully ad
justed. 5. Measures contemplating a repeal of tho
duties of raw mateiial must, in the nature
of things, be accompanied by readlnstments
of the duties on woolen Roods. Whatever
advantages. If any, might accine to our
manufacturers front free raw material would
be offset in the first instance by the neces.
sity of readjusting business to thesa'new
rates of duties on poods.
