In the Light of Facts.
Under the gold standard, from 1870
to 18W, there was an Increase of the
total material wealth of the United
States from the gold value of $24,000,
000,000 ti the Bold value of $85,000,000,000.
An increase of the number of em
ployes In the manufacturing: establish
ments of the United States from 2,053,
000 to 4,712,000, and of the total wages
paid them, from the gold value of $020,
000,000 to $2,2j3,O00,0OO. an Increase of
135 cer cent, in number and over 250
per rent. In wages puld, with an In
crease of 60 per cent. In the wages
paid each employe.
An Increase in the product of cereals
from 1.239,000,000 to 3,518,000.000 bushels,
and of cotton from 2,397,000,000 pounds
to 3,564.000.000.
An Increase In the total of improved
acres from 163,000,000 to 357,000,000.
An Increase or the total production of
manufactured articles from $4,232,000,
000 to $9,372,000,000 In Value and several
. times that In quantity.
An increase In the total exports of
breadstuffs and provisions from $116,
900.000 In 1872 to $43,OO,O0O in 1SU2.
We never had any trouble with the
gold gtandurd until the recent Demo
cratic attempt to revolutionize the tar
iff sent the business of thin country
Into convulsions. The tariff, not the
standard. Is at fault.
Senator Faulkner says he thinks Mr.
Bryan Is talking too much. There are
others who have the same opinion.
How the aermant Stand.
The German-American 8ound Money
league, of which William Stelnway is
president, after a careful canvass of the
situation, declares that 90 per cent, of
the German-American voters of ths
United States, without regard to past
party affiliations, will this year vote for
McKlnley electors. It reports that of
the 581 Herman-American newspapers
In this country 499 are In favor of the
present Bold standard, and only 39 are
for free silver coinage, the remainder
being non-committal. The league Itself
proclaims the following" pithy facts as
"established by history, experience and
science":
1. That commeice) and Industry require
ne standard of ex4hanr.
2. That the goivemiinent stamp upon coin
or paper does no import any Intrinsic
value to them, -bin converts them merely
Into an instrument of convenience.
I. That thn value, of money consists la
Its purchasing- power.
4. That the issue by the government of
money which 'in the market of the world
to not accepfletf for K face' value. Is a
robbery committed by the 'government
nam si everybody who is for red1 to accept
said money at Its faoo valu unless the
government is ready and abas to redeem
It at is pretended v.-tlue. ' ' ' '
5. That fmn oolnajre of sltvft-r would be
such a, rohbecy, because tixtern grains of
silver are worth only fifty-one sent In
Cold, the coin metal of the civilised world.
I That tka prevailing low prices of com-
modities are not due to the demonetisa
tion of silver, but to Inventions and im
proved processes, which have cheapened
and quickened production in all branches
of agriculture and Industry, silver min
ing not excepted.
7. That gold has not appreciated, but
has merely remained stable.
8. That free coinage of silver would
not Increase the value of silver, because
the greater demand for It Will continue
and expand Its over-production.
9. That the ruinous consequences of free
coinage would fail most disastrously upon
the workingmen and the farmers, whose
earnings would certainly be decreased,
unless thy could exact from their labor
and products two dollars, where they now
receive one dollar. They also would fall
severely upon persons wholly or partly
dependent upon fixed Incomes from pen
sions, savings banks, loan societies, etc.
10. That free coinage of sliver would be
contrary to the teachings of Thomas Jef
ferson, the founder of the Democratic
party, and, being principally demanded
for the benefit of the silver miners, it
would also be contrary to the tenet of the
Dfmot-iatle party, that the governme.it
has no right to use the taxing power of
tht country for the betierit of special
classes.
11. Thut free coinage of silver would
cause u business panic In this country,
more disastrous in its couseo.uenccs.
than any the world hus ever seen before.
There does not seem to be any uncer
tainty or evasion about these declara
tions. They will have appreciable
weight ere the campaign ends.
The arguments of the silverltes and
Populists at St. Louis are all for bi
metallism; but the practical effect of
the plan which they advocate would be
to establish the rankest kind of silver
monometallism, Inevitably supplement
ed by fiat paper.
"The motley of the t utted 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 must
not ouly lis current at its lull lace
talus at home, but it must be counted
at par in any and every commercial
center of the glob. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wage-earuer and
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing und debt-paying
pow er to the dollur paid to nuy gov
erunient t-reditor."--.IcKlnley in His
Speech of Acceptance.
Ilulf u column of space Is devoted In
the New York Journal to a chronicle of
how Bryan cuts a watermelon. Now
let some enterprising rival proceed to
ullay the public's feverish anxiety as
to how the Democratic candidate putts
his hair.

It will be seen that the Salt Lake pa
per puts In the Bryan column four
states which have always rone Repub
lican Iowa, Montana. South Dakota
and Washington besides tour others
Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada And Oregon
which have gone Republican a ma
jority of times and are therefore at
least "doubtful." Subtract from
Bryan and give to McKlnley the elec
toral vote of the first four states ex
cept Nevada, and take from Bryan, as
hot certain, the electorat votes of the
other four except Montana, and the
Bait Lake table will stand: McKlnley. .
143; Bryan, 167. Then give McKlnley
Illinois, Indiana, Maine. Minnesota.
North Dakota. Ohio and Wisconsin,
states which are as surely his as an
In the list, and the table, as thus cor
rected, will stand: McKlnley. ' 231:
Bryan. 167; doubtful, 37. This analysis
overrates Bryan's strength, because It
gives him Kentucky, Virginia, Tennes
see, Nebraska and California, which
are In the balance, with the chances
strongly favoring McKlnley In Ken
tucky and Tennessee; but It serves to
show how thoroughly the Salt Lake
paper's table is based on mere audacity
of the kind that "claims everything."
regardless of facts.
The New York Journal Is doing Its
level best to work u! a case agultist
McKlnley. "His election," it says,
"would put the resources of the gov
ernment at the disposal of the Hamm
syndicate. It would mean a return to
Chinese protection and the spoliation
of the people by a rapacious ring of
rnundarlns. It would mean in the end
a popular revolt before which utlirlght
ed conservatism might pray for a lead
er with the moderate Instincts of
Bryan." But somehow the people of
New York don't seem to scare worth
a cent.
Let us, for argument's sake, con
cede that the free coinage of silver
would raise the price of wheat. How,
then, would thut benefit the fanner
when, at the same time, his cost of liv
ing; the cost of all the articles that
he buys would Increase proportion
ally? When General Harrison was a candi
date he delivered sometimes as many
as six speeches a day and never once
repeated. Mr. Bryan In these days tries
to do a good deal of miscellaneous
talking, but he says nothing deep or
new.
Bishop McUovern, ' of Harrisbuig-,
predicts that the Democrats will carry
the solid South und every Northern
state west of Pennsylvania, except Cal
ifornia. Time will show how good a
prophet the bishop is.
The Populists want a per capita cir
culation of $50. On their paper basis
they might just as well demand $500.
The job printers could accomplish the
one quite as easily us the other.
The kick of the disaffected Populist
leaders Is not so much against Bryan
personally as it Is to letting another
fellow share their thunder.
Those Missouri sound money Demo
crats who are talking In favor of a
separate gold ticket must want to give
the state to Bryan.
BASIC FACTS.
It Is always well, In political dlens
slon.. to get down to solid facts. These
are facts, for the wording of which we
are indebted to the Pittsburg Dispatch:
1 That the act of 1873 did not demonet
ize a single silver coin then in monetary
use by the people of the United States.
2 That the real act of demonetizing
sliver took place In 1&3, when the frac
tlonul silver colli, which, up to that time,
had been a legal tender, and constituted
97 !ier cent, of all the silver coined In
the country, up to 185u, was restricted in
leual tender and denied free coinage.
3 That as declared on the floor of con
gress In 1853, and shown by memorials,
the country was then on a gold stand
ard, and the purpose of the act of 1353
was to kep it on a gold standard, re
taining frjuclonul sliver as subsidiary
coin, and leaving the silver dollar, of
which tt.ltiU.0U0 were then coined, in the
words used at that time, "as an article
of merchandise."
4 That the effect of this act was to
increase the coinage of silver for subsid
iary u.'e, t.88,uu0 being coined in the
twenty-threeyears from 1850 to 1873, against
$?.',4t1.0w in the titty-three years prior to
1&50; while the fact that the sliver dollar
was not In monetary use prior to the sus
pension of specie payments Is shown by
the fact that only 11,723,770 were coined
during the ten years, 1853 to 1st;.', inclu
sive.
5 That when the act of 1873 was passed
the country was using neither gold nor
silver, except on the Pacific coast, where
silver was only used for small change;
and that the only change which that act
made in the coinage in use was to sub
stitute for the sliver dollar which, up to
that date, had not been a one-hundredth
part of the total coinage of the country,
the trade dollur of greater weight, to
make It more advantageous for excort,
the only purpose for which silver dollars
were then coined at all.
0 That the r.ct of 1873 had 'that effect,
the silver coinage in the subsequet" five
viars under Its provisions being $79,120,
0W, ttginst $8,287,000 for the five yean
prior to Its enactment; that the acta of
1878 and subsequent legislation Immensely
Increased the total silver colmuje, being
$782.OiVO00lntwentyyears after 1873, against
$142.O0O.iW0 In the eighty years prior to 1873;
that of sliver dollars tho United States
coined 422,000,000 since 1873 Slid 8.1)00,000
before 1S72; that of the coinage of the
country greater than fractional silver
prior to 1S73. gold coin constituted 99 per
cent, and sliver dollarz less than 1 per
cent.; that of the coinage since 1873 sil
ver constituted nearly one-third and gold
a little over two-thirds.
These facts show conclusively that the
allegation that the United States has by
Its action In NC3 nnu since struts uown
and discriminated against stiver la a
monstrous fabrication. The act of 1878
did nothing but provide for the coinage
that had been in actcal use prior to tha
suspension of s'.iecte payments, and was
then in actual use in California. It de
monetized nothing but coin that was not
and had never been In use, and It substi
tuted for It a silver dollar that was coined
In tho next few years, at an annual rats
thirty-six times that of the sliver dollar
before its ia-suK. of ail silver coinage
in the United States since 1873 the annual
rate has been seventeen times as great as
before that year; and of the silver dollars
which are the especial subject cf the free
silver 'grievance the annual coinage has
been 2f,7 tfFiTcS as great since 18?8 as before.
In brief, silver was not used In the United
S:ates except as subsidiary coinage prior
to 1SJ73: since then Its use has been Im
mensely increased.
II II II
With resard to the action or foreign
governments it is worth while to note:
1 That by the Immense Increase In the
production of gold, after 1848 the pur
chuelnft power of gold declined. Gold be
came the cheaper metal.
2 That by Ill's decline silver advanced
to a premium of 4 to 7 per cent., the d
vance in commodities being much greater.
The force of a policy of International bi
metallism was recognized in the faiit
that while gold drove silver to a premi
um and out of such bimetallic countries
as Prance, sliver did not advance In gold
values to the full degree that commodities
did.
3 That after this, movement had In.
duced Germany, Austria fciid some other
countries to adopt the single silver stand
ard, an International movement was
rtarted to adopt tha single gold standard:
that this movement was opposed, and
was not generally adopted; but thut the
silver standard countries were so Ulss.it
lifted w in their money that they mads
the change Independently.
4 Thai p.fler th:s movement had be
gun aw'. Germain- had adopted the gold
standard, the increased production of sil
ver together with the Herman demono.
tizstiun reduced the value of sliver so
that In 1S74 It became cheaper, relatively
than geld: and that the Latin Union,
which undertook to sustain bimetallism.
was 'orced to limit the coinage of silver
in lilt, and in to suspend it altogeth
er.
II II II
In these facts we have recognized that
the action of European governments
had Its influence concurrently with the
Increased product of silver, in deprecia
ting Its value; but we have shown the
silliness of trie slander that this was a
cctii'ilracy of the money kings us uis.
played by the fact that the gold move'
mint tin ore J the uiloiition of what wis
at the time t'.ie cheaper und most abuu
dant metal. The most Indisputable tact
Is that the causes which have depreciated
silver were entirely outside the legisla
tion of the United States, unJ that our
government has not pffected the matter
In any wuy exceM (I) to resume specie
payments In the coin that was In use at
the date of suspension: and (21 beginning
n-i'h the same date to increase its coin
age of silver to an amount unheal d of in
its previous history.
II II II
The -historical basis of the free silver
movement having been shown to be wild'
ly, :ierslstenlly and In one respect men
daciously erroneous, the questions as to
what the result of free coinage would
be naturally come up. The first In legiti
mate order is whether free coinage by the
United St-.tts alone will raise the value
of silver bullion to our present standard,
or would lower the standard to
the monetary value of the bullion In a
silver dollar. The assertion of the all
Ver advocates that the government and
monetary demand for silver money would
raise the nrlee of silver bullion all over
the world from 6 cents to $i.28 per ounce is
mr-t by the following points of fact:
1 The coinace demand of the United
States for the past twenty years has been
seventeen times as great as it was for the
entire period of alleged bimetallism, and
the price of sliver has fallen.
2 The monetary demar.d of all the South
American countries, und of the vast popu
lations of ludla and China, making u
total many times that of the population of
the United States, has not been able to
prevent silver from falling.
3 The monetary demand of the whole
world for gold could not prevent W from
declining after the Immense Increase In
production, from IMS and during subse
quent years, to a proportion Indicated at
about ij per cent, in purchasing value.
4 The unanswerable nature of this point
is tacitly admitted by the free sTTTer con
troversiallsts in the fact that they de.
clare they wish to raise prices, and the
only way In which prices can be raised
through coinage is the nominal one of
making a cheaper dollar, by having It de
cllne to the value of silver bullion. They
declare that they want a cheaper dollar
so as to make It easier to pay debts; and
if free coinage made sliver rise to a parity
with gold, it woulJ be just as hard to pay
debts as It r ow Is.
II II II
In this practical admission that they
want the dollar reduced to the purchasing
power of silver bullion, the free silver
advocates entirely wipe out of existence
their claim for the need of more money
and put themselves out of the rank of bl.
metalllsts. This makes the proposition
mean:
1 The sending of gold to a premium
and demonetizing It by exactly the same
Influence that demonetized silver from
1948 to INTO.
2 This would take away over $GOO.00U.iO
of our basic money, and leave us with
less than WW.OOO.Oijo of slUer dollars, of
reduced purchasing power, and conse
quently able to conduct a less total cf
commercial transactions. Thus it does
not mean more money, but necessitates
contraction.
3 This also means that the United
States would not go to a bimetallic basis
but to the single silver basis. It presents
the issue plainly, so far as the Lnited
States Is concerned, whether we shall
retain the present gold basis or descend
to silver monometallism.
AN EFFECTIVE ILLUSTRATION.
Tho Steuben Courier of Bath, N. Y.,
says: "VV. P. Sedgwick has placed in his
store window the most practical lllustta
tlon of the silver question which has yet
been devised. On one side are ten silver
dollars, good the world over for their face
value, by reason of the credit of ov.r gov
ernment. Underneath these he has a
block of silver which is the melted pro
duct of ten silver dollars, and which In
that form Is worth Just $524. On the
other side Is a ten-dollar gold piece, and
underneath a piece of gold obtained Ly
melting ten gold dolars. Both pieces of
gold hnve the same value whether they
bear the government stamp or are a shape,
less lump. On the silver melting, how
ever. Mr. Sedgwick will have to lose $4.75,
us he can never get that block of silver
which Is worth only $o.24&; back Into the
shape where it was worth $lu, thanks to
the commou-ser.e of Republican legisla
tion." TOLD BY THE STARS.
