In Reply to St. John.
. Mr. St, John, of Nuw York. In his
St. Louis Hpoech In favor of fre? coin
uge, cited the expel lenoe of the roun
t'ry under the Bland bill us tin' argument
why, in the event of free coinage to
tlay at Hi to 1, kuUI would- not leave u
hut Instead would come to us. During
the first yeur of that net we irnlned, as
he said, ly Importation $4,000,000 In
Kold; $70,000,000 the next and $tl.00O,H0O
the third year, During the twelve years
thut the act was on the statute -book
we gained $221,000,000 of foreign Jfold.
Insteud of the destruction of our credit
abroad, ns had been predicted, the V'nl
ted States 4 per cent, loan, which stood
at 101 on the day of the enactment,
Bold at 120 per cent, within three years,
and at 130 per cent, subsequently.
Mr. St. John here makes on excellent
argument for The Tribune's plan of a
protected free coinage) of American li
ver on a gold bnsls; but It Is an argu
ment that does not apply to the present
proposition of his political associates to
admit to free coinage at 10 to 1 the sil
ver; of the world which la now commer
cially worth only about 32 to 1. The
Bland bill directed the purchase by the
government of ' $2,000,000 to $4,000,000
worth of silver bullion per month,
which was then only about 18 per cent,
cheaper than irold, for coinage Into
4121i-Rraln legal tender dollars.. These
legal tender dollars were accepted
without question of their value, al
though worth ns bullion only $0,8185,
because . tha volume of their coinage
was sulflclently limited to render It eas
ily possible for the government, at de
mand, to exchange for each silver dol
lar not satisfactory to Its holder, one
gold dollar. This addition of about $30,
000,000 a year to the currency merely
kept pace with the country's growth
under fostering Protectlon.and a similar
addition would have a similarly benefi
cial effect today. If Protection had not
been Interfered with by Democratic
bands.
Such a proposition, however. Is In no
sense parallel with the demand of Bry
an and Bewail for the unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver dollars
'worth commercially only half their face
value. There Is no known force In law,
or nature which could keep such a flood
of cheap dollars up to a parity with
-gold. Gold would Inevitably go to a
premium and disappear. ' Instead of
currency Inflation we Bhould have the
sharpest kind of currency contraction;
for our mints could not turn out the
heap silver dollars an fast a the good
.gold' dollars would gu out of use. Mr.
Ht. John's' argument simply confirms
. The.Trliutne In Its belief that the truest
friend of silver Is the '.voter who will
vote to protect that metal from;th
' degradation which would surely follow
the necessarily unsuccessful attempt
by this nation alone to force S3 cents'
worth of sliver on the commercial world
as an equivalent for 100 cents' worth of
gold.
The doubling of prices promised by
the advocates of free silver would no:
mean the doubling of wages; for wages
is the last thing and the Flowest thins
to reflect a rise In prices. But even if
wages were to double, wherein would
the working man. with a doubled cost
of living, be better off?
"The money of the I'nitcd Slate,
mid every kiud or form of it. whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. It must
not only be current at its full lace
value at home, but it must be counted
ntpurio any and every commercial
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wagccarucr nnd
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing and debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to any gov
eminent creditor.""-. HUiiiley iu His
Speech of Acceptance.
We do not doubt t!at in the main tlw
story of a new combination against Sen
ator Quay, which we printed in yester
day's Issue. Is substantially true. But,
It does not follow that the party will
lend Itself to the wishes of the few
,who dislike and would depose the junior
senator. The lesson of a year ago ha
not been lost upon the masses.
Examining Railway Statistics.
The prostration of business In this
country occasioned by the "change of
lS92,rt from the effects of which our
commerce Is still suffering, is vividly
illustrated In the report of the Inter
state commerce commission for the year
ended June 30, 1895. Which has just been
published. It has truly been suid that
the condition of the railways of n na
tion Is th best barometer of the na
tion's commerce. Depression lu trade
very quickly reflects Itself in the trans
portation companies' balance sheets.
In this report comparison is made
with lSOti a year when the Wilson bill
panic was at its highest point. In
some Items there are slight gains as
contrasted with the figures for that
year, but on the whole the" showing is
very uncomplimentary to the political
party whose Incompetency In. national
administration made such adverse con
ditions possible. On June- 3(1, lS'Jii, Iti'J
roads, operating 37,8X5 miles, were In
the hands of receivers, showing a net
decrease of twenty-three loads und
2,!W3 miles of line. The railway capital
represented by these roads was nearly
$-'.C(K,000.KiA, or about 22.2 per cent, of
the total railway capital Invested in the
United States. The total railway mile
age was 180.B57 miles, an Increase for
the year of 1.94S miles, or 1.09 per cent.,
the smallest during uny year for which
reports have been made to the commis
sion. The aggregate length of all
tracks in the United States wus 236,894
miles.
The increase In number of locomotives
during the year was 20. the total num
ber being 35,61i9. The number of cars
of all classes w as 1,229.231, a decrease of
7,517 as compared with the previous
year, or the total, 33.112 or nn Increase
for tha year of 94, were in passenger
service and 1,196,119 In freight service, a
decrease of 9,050. The number of pas
sengers carried per locomotive were 60,
747, or 3.907 less than In 1S94. The num
ber of passenger miles per passenger
locomotive was 1,218,987. or 225,433 less
than In l!i4, while the number of pas
senger cars per 1,000.000 passengers cur
ried was 65, or 12 greater than the pre
ceding year. The number of tons of
freight carried per locomotive In 1895
was 34.817, showing an Increase of 2,908
over 1894. The number of ton miles
per locomotive was 4,358.821. the In
crease over the previous year being 242,
066. These figures Indicate increased
economy In the transportation of
freight The number of men employed
by railways shows an Increase of 5,426,
as compared with the year before, the
number, of employes being 783.034; but
the annual average rate of .Increase un
der llepublicau Protection times used
to be nearly 35.000. whereas us many
men were employed In 1S92 ns in 189.),
not withstanding : what, ought to have
been the natural growth In the business
during this three-year Interval.
Financially the year was; exceptional
ly disastrous. Stock to the amount of
$3,475,640,203. or 70.05 per cent, of the
total outstanding, paid no dividend,
nnd 904.436,200, or 16.90 per cent, of
funded debts, exclusive of equipment
trust obligations, paid no Interest dur
ing the year covered by the report.' In
no other year since the organliatlun of
the commission has so large a percent
age of stock passed Its dividends, or,
except in 1S94, has so largo a percent
age of funded debt defaulted Its inter-'
est. The amount of bunds paying no
Interest was $624,702,293, or 13.41 per
cent.; of miscellaneous obligations, $54,
498,288, or 12.24 per cent.; of Income
bonds, $223,235,619, or 91.52 per cent.
Balancing all accounts, the startling
fact la shown that the railways closed
the year with a net loss of $29,845,241. In
1892, under the McKinley tariff, the
railroads made a net profit of $364,873,
502. Here we have another convincing
proof, that the difficulty from which
business is suffering Is not the gold
standard or the lack of free silver coin
age, but the Democratic party's bung
ling work at so-called "tariff reform."
The charge was recently mad in
print by Senator Coyle. of Bohtrylkllt
county, that his superfluous bill to es
tablish at a fat salary a state superin
tendent of mining was "beaten at the
last session of the legislature by a
lobby of mine inspectors." As a matter
of fact, Coyle was so anxious to get this
buncombe bill through for home .cam-,
palgn effect that he offered to make
any changes In it which the opponents
of It might suggest, even though they
should utterly destroy the measure'
Importance. .All h wanted was to
pose at home as theauthor of a bill.
Whether it was good, bad or middling
made no difference. Coyle Is not the
man to challenge a scrutiny of records.
One of the charges made by the Popu
lists against the Republican party, is
that the rank and file are not' fairly
repret'3nted In municipal, state and na
tional conventions; that bosses rule
and attend conventions without having
authority from the masses to act. With
John W. Hayes, gas manufacturer, and
ex-secretary of the Knights of Labor,
hailing from New Jersey, and a resident
of Washington, D. C, representing
Rhode Island at the Populist conven
tion In St. Louis, and with J. A. Wright,
of Atluntlc City, N. J., representing
Pennsylvania on the committee to se
cure the nomination of Bryan, It would
appear that the Poo's had departed
somewhat from the path of reform nnd
were emulating the practices which
they condemned in others. A careful
perusal of the mimes of those attending
the Populist convention, as published
iu the St. Louis papers, discloses the
fact that over a third of the delegntes
rer resent nothing or nobody. They are
there for free silver and lots of it.
It might be pertinent to Inquire why,
if Mr. Frank Willing Leach "li not and
would not now be a candidate for the
state chairmanship," he Is taking such
till ncthe and voluble Interest lit tne
selection of Senator Quay's successor.
Mr. Leach should be can -fill not to
ovi.iefctlmate his retail '; lir.pirt-inee.
A doubling of the number of mine
Inspectors, an Increase in. the sulury
and a ten-yenr term with Ineligibility
to a second term would probably do as
much toward the solution of mine acci
dents us could be done by legislation.
For, when all is said, the sovereign
remedy Is common sense.
Make no mistake about the working
man. The American who honestly
earns his wage does not want to get
It puld at pay-duy in half-value dol
lars. MORE BASIC FACTS.
Continuing from yesterday the citation
or facts bearing fundamentally on the free
silver discussion, we come to the matter
of prices, and again using the language of
the Pittsburg Dispatch asiert (what Tlio
Tribune 'has several times proved) thut
the reduction of prices which has been
distinctive of the last two decades has in
every marked ease been due to ("pedal
causes entirely outside of the Influence of
coinage. Leudlng examples among them
are:
The Invention of new machinery and
methods which permit the same labor to
produce from two to six times as much
as formerly.
The reduction In cost of transportation,
by which price are lowered In the ship
ping markets, without u corresponding
decline at the points of production. i:x
umples of this are, thut wheut on the
farms or Kansas, Nebraska und Iowa was
shown by the census of 1870 to range from
45 cents to 4k cents In gold value, and that
of the decl'ne In' the value of wheat In
New York, Just 19 cents per bushel Is the
decline in freight rates between Chicago
and New York alone.
The Immense multiplication in produc
tion and the addition of new fields of pro
duction of the staples affected In other
parts of the world.
II i I!
The favorite assertion of the sllverltes
that sliver will purchase as much of
everything now as It did In 1873 ha been
s.hown to be an utter and complete error,
it will not even purchase as much wheat
on the farms of Kansas and Nebraska as
It would then. It will not purchase-as
much corn, pork, coal, leather, coffee,
eggs or cheese. Out .of thirty-eight artl
cle3 quoted in the statistical abstract of
the Un'ted States for that period, there
ara only seven In which the percntagn of
decline hus been as g't or greater than
.tht of silver. Of th ;32 articles covered
In the inquiry of the Aldrirh special son
ate committee, silver fell over oil per cent.,
while the remaining 231 articles dropped
In price on an average only about 8 per
cent. While - decline fn prices due to Im
provement, concurrently with the ad
vance in wages and the increase in mater,
lal wealth, is tho leading characteristic
of the alleged twenty years of demonetize,
tlon from 178 to Ut'3. the three years since
the hitter date have shown prostration
and the decline of both prices and wages
due to turlff tinkering, and the disturb
ance of credit due to the free silver
threat. Three years of disturbed credit
have done more Injury than twenty years
Of the gold basis. The decline In farm
prices since IM'2 hiiH averaged 40 per cent.,
at against less than 10 per cent, prior to
189.', thus showing that tariff tinkering, and
not free trade, is ut the bottom or the
trouble so rar as agriculture is concerned.
!l II I' '
With regard to the. nssertlon that the
Increase or the standard has Increased
t'he amount that the debtor must pay, and
that the injury to prosperity has Increased
the total of debts, the facts are:
1. That the total of recorded public debt
decreased between 1S70 and 1890, from $3,
27j,t)UW.0O0 to $l,9!KMirtQ.0iJ0. v That the amount
cf corporate and business debt on which
there are statistics for comparison in
creased from $2.8SO.OUO,000 to $8,160,0XMJi(.
In other words, the debt which represent
ed waste 1 wealth was paid off; while tha
debt which represents the Investment in
the production of more wealth has en
larged. 2. That the calculation of the census
bureau of a total of debt of $19,O00.OUO,0W
for 1390 Indicates a total of $W,ouo,WX),0UO
Tor the same debt In 1870.
3. That therefore the Increase of debt
Tor te two decades was not quite one
quarter the total Increase of wealth.
4. That thp utmost possible founda
tion for the assertion that debts have been
Increased by the advance in the purchas
ing power of gold permits an allowance
of an Increase of two-thirds of one per
cent, annually; while the gain to debtors
In the decreased rate of Interest from high
public credit and stable basis of values
has been from 2 to 4 per cent, annually.
:r n li
Incidental to the general subject of the
alleged debts of the nation, and the lack
of prosperity, two favorite assertions of
the rrea silver men have been examined.
1. The declaration that this country
owes !,0uU.CJ0.0u0 In securities held abroad,
and has to ship $200,000,000 or gold abroad
annually to pay the Interest on them, has
been ehown to be a complete figment of
the imagination by the fact that for nine
teen years prior to 1895 the net gold move,
ment was about $6,000,000 In favor of the
United States, or, from 1878 to 1892. $101,
568,310 in our favor, the great outflow of
gold, amounting in four years (1892-96) to
nearly $200,009,000. having occurred during
the Democratic era of tariff Jugglery; and
that during the same time the United
States exported a balance of merchandise,
rhlch by statistical calculation reduceu
the $1, 604,000.090 of securities held abroad
In 1ST5 to between $500,000,000 and $1.000,000,.
C00.-
2. The assertion that the prrted or de
imonetlzstlon has ralbni with especial
hardship on the western agricultural and
mining states Is disproved by the census
stx tittles, showing that while the aver
age per capita wealth In the United States
Increased from $788 lu 1870 to $1,026 in 1S9V,
the least Increase In any of th?fe states
wastn Minnesota, from $0Cr, to $1,087. while
In the others It goes inuen higher, to a
nirxlmum In' Montana from 1737 to $3,427.
With regard to the proposition to reduce
the standard In order that It may be eas
ier to pay debts, the followli g facts de
ne.nd consideration- ,
1. Thwt It is a grossly Inequitable pro
pt.;tluii that because a limited and unin
tentional hardship may have b-m Inlllet
el or. n t:iulii body of debia existing In
187:., it ! now proposed to inflict gi eater
nnd Intent loiiut hardship on tt(her to
tal of dehl.t existing in ISW. Of .rh total
of debts mtw existing, not 10 per cent, was
In existence In 1K71.
2. According to the best statistical cal
culation, the debt which has existed from
lr73 to the present has been subject to an
appreciation cf gold, not above 15 per cent.,
(and iiri.bably not more than 8 per cent.,
sll lai'tors duly considered), while the free
sliver proposition Is to s.'ale down by 40
to 50 per cent, a total of debt over three
quartets of which has been contracted In
the past ten years. The free silver men
fay that they wish debts paid in the stand
ard in which they were contracted, but
they propose to tuke a totul of debt or
which Wi per cent, was contracted on the
pjld basis, and to transfer It to th silver
Lusls.
3. In aitui-'Uir.g the Interests of the cred
itors, for the supposed benefit of the
debtors, they propose to scale down the
saving of the following classes of the
common people: The depositors in sav
ing banks numbering 4,K75,t0 and having
savings lent out at Interest to the amount
of $1,810. OiW.lMO; the members of bulldlnir
and lo!:i associations numbering 1.74d,ijuO
and having suvlngs Invested in mortgages
of 5!5t'.O00.m; the holders of lite Insurance
policies numbering about 1,200,000, with In
vested savings ot l.lii.i)O0.W: the holders
of tire insurance policies estimated at
1.8it0.0iio, with luveitmer.ts due them or
$1,352.OUO.00o; the pensioner of the L'nlted
States numbering iCU.UHO, with annuities
amounting to llj.i.'kcj.ooo: the depositors In
banks not business borrowers, and the
t tockholders lu banks, together with email
investors outride of corporate agencies, es
timated at 3.OOO.0H0 to 4,1'JO.Oi").
4. While these large classes Include.
In the majority wage-earners and people
of small means and property, it hus been
fhown that the people who borrow rrom
these classe have more property and larger
means than the real lenders. The rree
silver proposition Is, thereroie. to tal.e
away a portion or the savings or the poor
and frugal and give it to the borrowers
who u'e better OIY.
II II 'I
The proposition to Increase prices by
cheuueuing the dollar has been shown to
Involve the following facts:
1. The Increase of iprices by any such
means Is purely nominal. A bushel ot
wheat Is now worth 63 cents lu New York,
because It is worth 5s. Id. in Liverpool,
both gold values. Hy halving the value
or the dollar It may be made worth $1.26
In New York in the depreciated standard,
but that there will bo no Increase iu ic
tuul value is shown lu the fact thut It will
be worth the same 5s Id In Liverpool.
2. That the operation or the change or
a single nation lrom one standard to an
other Is shown to be that Imported prod.
nets always rise first, because they have to
be paid ror, on arrival. In gold. The pro
position Is therefore that t'he American
people must pay higher prices for all for
eign staples for an indefinite period, be
fore their products will rise in proportion.
3. That this rise In domestic products
will bo seriously delayed by the convulsion
iu cred'ts which would follow the fore
knowledge thut a change would be made,
the stoppage of industry and the restric
tion of consumption to the narrowest lim
its. 4. That the last thing or all to rise in
proportion to the Inflation of prices due to
a lowered monetary standard is the
wages of labor. Three examples huvo been
cited in which the advance of prices from
this cause has been 100 per cent., while
wages in live to ten years have advanced
only 40 to 50 per cent. The free coinage
proposition to labor Is, therefore, to ex
change Its CO per cent. Increase of wages
under the gold standard for n 25 to 35
per cent, decrease, by being paid In a
cheaiper dollar.
H I! II
With these facts bcrne carefully In mind,
it will not be ditlicult for intelligent read
ers to reach a satisfactory conclusion with
reference to the proposition that the Unit
ed States admit to free and unlimited coin
age, at a ratio to gold one-hair ot the
commercial ratio, the silver of the world
regardless of the consequences.
PROTECT OUR OWN.
The general Inquiry now is, shall we
make our own comforts or go without
them at the will of a foreign nation? He.
therefore, who Is now against domestic
manufactures, must be for reducing us
either to a dependence upon that nation,
or to be clothed in skins and live like
bensts in raves and dens. I am proud to
sny I am not one of these. Experience
has taught me that manufactures are now
as neoessarv to our independence as to
our couiforts. Thomas Jefferson.
