Wouldn't Work Both Ways.
Practically the only real argument at
the command of the advocati-a of flee
silver Is the recent fall in prices. This
tiiijuiiieiit is thus plausibly put by
WlnuUm Hark'-i's American:
In lit:.' wheat s0d t M lo S-PJ a bushel,

i.td cents per bushel for corn. Im 8

an uveratre Hell of SsS'j ucresi planted
eipially with corn, wheat, lye nnd oats

$1,000. or sutMeiint to redeem a thousand
dollars of Indebtedness. In lYO it wo.ild
have taken the entile product of a Held
of l'l! a acre;' to lidsc tile same thousand
dollar. -v to redeem the same bond that the
expenditure of labor and energy Client on
a neld of v'-. acres would have sutHeed
to raise in lffli. And ir we look ut it from
the stai.dpoint of the planter we find that
to pay a thousand dollar bond In IS'.M-.j It
would have taken the product of Stl's acres
of cotton, whereas in l7-7i, ul acres
would have sulllced.
The point raised by the American, nnd
by all free colnnge men, In that the rea
son why wheat, corn, oats, rye and cot
ton have fallen pince 1ST!) (the year fol
lowing the resumption of Hpecle pay
ments, when the Bold fttandurd llr.it
took practical effect In this country) is
because Kold (in which prices) are meas
ured) has risen. This hua been effec
tually disproved, as we Hlntel out on
Saturday, by tlir researches! of the Al
dricli senate committee, which investi
gated the course of prices on 232 urtl
clox, including nil the staple agricul
tural products, and found that although
there has been a net decline In the last
thirty years amounting to 8 per cent.,
the decline In silver was over 50 per
cent. In other words, silver la shown to
bo not a snfe measure of value, for even
If the 8 per cent, ceneral decline dis
covered by this special senate commit
tee was In reality only an apparent de
cline caused by an 8 per cent, appre
ciation of gold. Instead of the result of
cheapened processes, lowered freights,
nnd overproduction, we might tbetter
have aa per cent, upward change In
our money standard in thirty, years
than a 42 per cent, downward change
such ns marked the course of silver. By
this showing It Is made clear thut gold
la the more stable metal of the two, and
therefore better fitted to be the money
standard.
Eut look for a moment at the morals
Involved In the American's argument.
Th American says In effect, speaking
for farmers to the men from whom the
farmers have borrowed money: "Gen
tlemen, it U true that we borrowed
money from you seventeen years ago,
agreeing to repay you in full. But In
the meantime our crops have declined
in value, so that we want you to let us
off at the rate of 00 cents on the dollar.
If you don't, we will pass a law consti
tuting 00 cents' worth of silver a full
legal tender dollar and pay ytm by force
In this depreciated coin." What Is this
but repudiation? If it be right to force
the creditor to take one-half his due in
satisfaction of his debt, upon the' plea
that crop Values have fallen, would
these free silver debtors permit the rule
t- work both ways? Suppose free
coinage were' to go Into effect, with
every result us predicted by Its advo
cates. Thut is to say, crops are Im
mediately to clou bio in value, and the
troducer to t;et In the market for his
product twice what he had been getting
under the gold standard. Would the
debtor then be willing to pay hlscreditof
twice the face value of his obligation?
If not. ha. would be unfair and It would
be apparent that his scheme of free
coinage was in reality a scheme to
legalize only partial payment of debts,
thereby mulcting the creditors and es
tablishing the new tlnunclul system)
upon a fundamental basts of dishones
ty. Of course tho Populists will Indorse
Bryan. Isn't lie one of them?
'The money of the Tailed States,
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. It uiut
not only be current at its fall luce
value at home, but it mutt be counted
lit par in uny and every roniinercinl
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wnisje. earner and
the pensioner must contiuue forever
(iiiul in purchasing and debtpaying
power to the dollar paid to any gov
eriimcut creditor. "McKinley in His
Speech of Acceptance.

-
The Underlying Cause.
The statistics of American trade fail
ures for the first half ot the present
year, us repot ted by Uradstl ect's, show
T.0U2 failure with Jloa.Me.ra liabilities.
The uverage monthly ratio of failures
to liabilities Hlnce lS!t2, or during the
operation of the Wilson tariff bill, hus
been 11 -'4 failures to $1S.2S1. liabilities.
I'hdcr three years of the McKinley tar
iff this ratio was V'M failures to $11.7ti5.
'M'J liabilities. In other words, under
the Republican policy of protection as
exemplified by the McKinley tariff,
there were 1SX fewer business failures
every month with a monthly econuniy
of $,"iltf.4::u) In liabilities, than under the
"tariff for revenue only" system which
has recently been re-indorsed ut
Chicago.
lxies any one believe that If the
Democratic party had not tampered
with the McKinley tariff, thereby un
settling business confidence and after
ward leading to a vust volume of foreign
lmih.rt'i for which we hud to make pay
ment by large exports of gold, and
which at the same time decreased by
so much the volume of home manufac
tures' and lessened the reiiumeratlve
employment of home labor, there would
today be any uch issue In American
politics us n this so-called present
battio of the Ktuiidards? iJld we ever
have any trouble with our currency un
der Protection, with Its large fuvorable
balance of trade, causing gold to pour
into Instead of out of our country?
Was not the money of this nation ample
for all emergencies during the years
w hen the Republican statesmanship ut
Washington was protecting the In
dustries and the labor of our land and
accumulating a surplus where now
there Is only a deficit?
It ought, we think, to be plain to every
rellective man thut the raising by the
Democracy of the free silver issue is in
reality an artillce to divert attention
from the disastrous consequences of
that party's efforts to tamper with the
tariff. Our money evoked no general
complaint so long as it was In wide
spread und steady circulation under the
stimulus of an efficient Protective tariff.
Then new Industries multiplied, the
home demand for farm products, made
larger by the constant employment at
good wages of the labor of the land,
gave to our farmers a profitable near
market, which enabled them to secure
a Just return for their Investments and
their toll; and every honest class In ull
our citizenship had the chance to enjoy
Its due share uf the unexampled aggre
gate prosperity of the country. Not
until the Democrats In 1892 started to
undo this fortunate state of affairs did
the monetary mischief begin. The way
to restore prosperity is. to restore to
power the party under whose adminis
trations prosperity has been the natural
and welcome consequence.
"An honest dollar worth 100 cent
everywhere cannot be coined out of
53 cents worth of silver, plus legis
lative nut. "--Garret A. Hobart in
IFis Speech of Acceptance.
One of the reasons why farmers and
workingmcn want relief and catch at
the free silver straw through misappre
hension of Its real significance is com
prised In the fact that In 1890 the aver
age number of employes In thr- woolen
mBIs of the United Stales was 219,132.
while now, under the Wilson tariff's
fnve wool and reduced duty on wool
ens clauses the number Is lef t. than half
so large. Today the payrolls foot up
only $38,000,000 as) against 76,CCO,742 In
1890. It isn't the currency; it Is the
tariff which la at fault In this case. Fix
the tariff properly and there'll be no
trouble over the currency."
Perry Belmont, It seems, wants to run
for congress In the First New York dis
trict. Mr. Belmont could no doubt be
elected; but Is it exactly expedient tor
the sound money forces of the metrop
olis to head their congressional battle
with one of the American agents of the
Rothschilds?
The free silver men base their predic
tions of success upon the supposition
that a majority of the American people
will stay fooled. The Republicans be
lieve the masses are amenable to com
mon sense.
Returns from the various sections
show that the free silver fever la ex
hibiting increased symptoms of reced
ing. When it is gone, people will won
der how they ever came to take It scrl.
ously.
If Mr. Bryan Is really pining for a
joint debate, he ought to Issue a chal
lenge to Charles Emory Smith. Mr.
Smith Is Just the man to tie this young
man Into a. knot.
One of the silver tables puts Ohio in
the doubtful column. The only thing
doubtful about Ohio Is whether it will
give McKinley nearer 500,000 than 100,
uou mujorlty.
Senator Cameron realizes that there
are other issues than free silver, and
that the Democratic party, as usual, is
on the wrong side of all of thern.
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir; National Chairman Jones says;
"The country repudiated McKlnleyism
once, and anybody who knows the temper
of the people knows that there is no pop
ular demand for another era of tremend
ously high prices, with enormous promts
to the manufacturer, In which the woik.
man did not share." The above !s false
In every particular. The country did not
repudiate so-culled MiiClnleylsni. mean
ing a protective tariff; nor did several
members of the Democratic party, or elsa
the senate, would have passed the Wllsun
tariff bill clean cut as it came from the
house instead of tacking on protection
to certain Interests and making the bill
un "act of peitldy and dishonor."
This country has always been the most
prosperous when high prices prevailed.
And today there Is every where a desire
for the prevalence of higher prices. The
farmers want higher prices for the prod
ucts of the laiin, but they will not get
them by the free coinage of fifty cent, dol
lars. The merchant und the manufacturer
want higher prices to prevail, as they
know full well that business Is always
best when good living prices prevail. The
wage earners everywhere want higher
prices lo prevail in order that they may
have suttlelent waijes to enable them to
live comfortably und decently, and hot
like cattle enough wages to piovtd a
respectable home, and to provide, not
only the bare necessities of life, but
some of the many comforts also, as well
as to lay a little by for sickness, a dull
spell, and old age.
A wane- earner receiving two dollars a
day for his services with correspondingly
IdKli pi Ices for what he consume;,
can suve more money than a wage earner
receiving but one dollar per day with cor
respondingly low prices for what he needs.
The higher the wages the areatar the pur
chasing (sower of the wage earner, the
greater the consumption of the products
of labor, the greater the volume of busi
ness to be transacted everywhere. The
wage earners are the masses, and the
masses consume mure than the few who
are not wage earners. When you reduce
the wage and the purchasing power or
the toilers, you damage the farmers, the
manufacturers and the merchants.
in 1S:' the people were fooled by the
falsehoods and misrepresentations ot the
Democratl'.' organs. Their hun and cry
was "tin1 people are overtaxed." or taxed
to death, and "who pays the duty on tin'.'"
followed by the lie that there was no tin
plute being manufactured In the L'nlteJ
States. If the voters who voted for a
change of presidents could have foreseen
und realized what has happened to this
country since the change was made there
would have been no change. As soon us
the country became fully uware of the
fact that the next administration would
be Democratic the shrlnkugu uf vulucs
and stagnation of business which fol
lowed was unlike uny ever before known.
L'p to that time business was about us
good as could be reasonably desired;
wages, in the main, were ull right; the
currency was all right: the treasury was
all right; the gold reserve was all right
mid there was! Income enough to pay the
expenses of the government. But "a
change came over the spirit ot our
dreams," And this is the way the thing
worked. Here Is a single example:
in the middle of lilsXi a friend had his
salary reduced, which was soon followed
by short time, so thut up to the present
date his net loss In wages and forced Idle
ness umounts to over JDoO. He could have
purchased many of the comforts of life
with that loss und made business better
and saved something, too. During that
time his employers lost many thousands
of dollars. Thut la the way it has been
going on all over the country.
Why Is it that the Democratic organs
and leaders are so bitter against manu.
faeturers, a few of whom get rich? They
never denounce importers und merchants
who get rich, und who pay their help less
wages In many cases than un ordinary
day laborer gets. What would wage
earners do If there were no manufactur
ers V A a general rule the wage earner
does receive a fair share of the products
of his labor. A manufacturer employing
a thousand workers in a permanent and
profitable business Is bound to get rich,
even If his profits were but one dime a
day for each employe.
The something that happened when It
became known that a Democratic admin
istration, with a free trade plunk, was
going to take possession of the govern
ment, would be repeated, perhaps in a
different form, and vastly worse, If the
country should be so unfortunate as to he
handed over to free silver administra
tion. One thing Is eertuln, there would be
a run on the savings banks, and deposit
ors In ull banks would demand gold for
their deposits. And everybody who had
uny pavings would try to secure gold
for It. Before any act authorizing free
coinage of silver could be passed all of
our foreign indebtedness would be piled
in upon us, and we us a notion would be
(financially swampod. The Denioif. atlc
party will probably never admit thut the
threat of free trade and the denunciation
of the tariff as unconstitutional was the
cause of the run which followed their
election to power, but It was,

CORRECTING MISAPPREHENSIONS.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Scores of newspapers come dally
to the college onVe und sometimes I be
come amazed ut statements made by our
friends, the ei."iiy. Democratic editors
write earnestly of the decrease of reve
nue under the .McKinley law as contrasted
with the tariff law of "S3, and comment
learnedly upon such decrease as a wenk
ness of said luw. If such editors would
read the caption of the .McKinley law they
would find about these words: "A bill
to reduce the revenues of the United
States and for other purposes etc., etc."
The strongest reason for the bill was
that revenue In excess of the needs of the
government for both current expenses
and redemption of maturing bonds, came
from the operations of the tariff then
operative so that a large surplus had ac
cumulated in the treasury; a tying up of
money claimt 1 a needed In circulation,
and hence pronounced a menace to com
mercial Interests. The reader of con
gressional debates of '$9 and 'M .the in
cubation period of the McKinley bill,
well' remembers the repeated assertions
of McKinley, I; ted ujid others of the house
and of Aldrich. Alfton und others of the
senate that the .McKinley bill. If enacted
Into law. would reduce the receipts from
duties and imports to an amount between
lltty und sixty millions of dollars, and
so do away with the perilous surplus
which so stupelied our Democratic friends.
As a matter of statistical record, Mr. Mc
Kinley was correct, for the Hist full year
of the operation of his famous and bene
ftcent law the revenue were reduced
nfty-tlve millions of dollars.
Hut notwithstanding the reduction
above mentioned that great economic
measure provided for the wants of pur
government and enabled the Harrison ad
ministration to pay off nearly three hun
dred millions of our national debt. The
Democratic congress repealed the Mc
Kinley bill and enacted the Wllsun-Uor-mun
tar ill law, and under Its operation
President Cleveland has Increased the
national debt already two hundred and
sixty millions of doltJis with another
hundred million of lncreaae certain before
election and another stHI probable before
that preat man and his taMft tor revenue
parly kiss our suffering nation good-bye.
The Democratic party had no skill to
manage a revenue surolus. All Its tar
iffs had shown only deficits, and hence
disastrous tariff tinkering resulted In en
riching Europe and scattering poverty.
Idleness, bankruptcy and every brood of
attendunt calamities over our country.
Much us I may be disposed to mention the
practical working of the McKinley luw as
experienced by me as a I'uited States con
sul, I forbear. Respectfully.
