Why Silver Has l:al!en.
It Is assorted by free coinage advo
cates that tho recent fall In tho bullion
value of silver an measured lit gold lias
been brought about, not by nn over
production of silver, but by an artificial
restriction of tho demand for It, Id tba
nhape of laws suspending or curtailing
Its conversion Into legal tender coin.
The free colnngo men argue thut If tha
old demand for silver were restored, Us
old value would come back to It, and It
would again be a (It companion for gold
as standard money.
Before considering this point fully, It
deserves to be noted that Mr. Bryan and
hi colleagues do not propose to restore
the old demand for silver. They can't
They have no power to re-open the
mints of England, France and Ger
many. Even It they were enabled by
next fall's election to establish free
coinage In the United States it would
Rot be equivalent, or anywhere near
equivalent, to a restoration of the de
mand for silver which existed through
out tho world prior to 180. On the
other hand, the available supply of sil
ver today Is several times what It was
In 1870. Therefore, It would be a sheer
Impossibility for this nation to restore
liver to a parity with gold. It could
only abandon gold and go to a silver
basis, which means that the silver dol
lar coined on that basis and Irredeem
able In gold would, like tha Mexican
dollar, bo worth only about 50 cents in
gold and would circulate outside the
United States only at CO per cent dis
count But now to the facts as to silver pro
duction. By reference to pages 242 and
US of the report of the director of the
mint for 1895 we find that for twenty
years, ending 183, the world's produc
tion of gold was about 123,000,000 ounces,
and for the twenty years ending 1893,
about 111,000,000 ounces, while the
world's product of silver for the first
period was about 785,000,000 ounces, and
for the second period about 1,982,000,000
ounces. The census report shows that
the population of the United States
was 41.677,000 In 187.1, and 03,946,000 in
190. Taking the ratios of these figures
we find that while our population had
Increased by about 60 per cent In twen
ty years, the world's product of gold
bad decreased about 10 per cent, and Its
product of silver had increased about
152 per cent- If from the mint report we
take the figures showing the world's
annual production, and vusa the figures
of 1853 as a basis, we will find that the
product of 1893 will show an Increase in
gold products of 18 per cent., and In
silver of 483 per cent. In other words,
the world's product of sliver In 1893 was
nearly six times as great as it was In
IMS, notwithstanding the decreased de
mand for silver's use by the principal
mints. These figures unmistakably
sustain the contention that the element
of largely Increased supply lias had
much to do with tho decline In the price
of sliver.
They also establish the Republican
party's contention that until there is an
international agreement for silver's
coinage into standard money the only
way In which silver can be coined with
safety by any one nation is in the form
of token issue redeemable when neces
sary in gold. The silver at present In
circulation In this country belongs to
this class of coinage. It can be in
creased In quantity just as soon as re
stored Protection shall enable our gov
ernment to pay expenses and secure a
favorable balance of international
trade.
Mr. Slngerly safh if he should be
elected a presidential elector he would
be "In honor bound to vote for Bryan
and Bewail." But, he adds, h; "will not
be elected." For once his Jiead is level.
"The money of the United Stntct
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be ns
good as the best In the world. Itntnt
not only bo current at its full fnco
value at home, but it must be counted
at par In any and every commercial
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wageearncr and
tho pensioner mu-t continue forever
equal la purchasing nnd debt-payins
power to the dollar paid to any gov
eminent creditor."--McKinley in His
Speech of Acceptance.
Ex-Attorney General Garland, of
"Tan-Electric" fame, has come out for
Bryan, which Is another good reason for
Bryan's defeat.
Mr. Blaine and Free Coinage.
If the Scranton Times were honest
with Its readers it would tell them that
the sentence which It credits to James
a. Blaine In favor of bimetallism Is so
picked from a speech which he made; In
tho senate on Feb. 7, 1S7S, as to convey
a wholly wrong impression. We re
cently gave extended extracts from that
speech, showing that Mr. Blaine occu
pied precisely the position taken by tho
St. Louis Republican platform; name
ly, In favor of bimetallism when ren
dered posslblo by international agree
ment, but opposed to it as nn Indepen
dent venturo fraught with deterrent
hazards. For tho benefit of the Times
we now requote n portion of Mr. Blaine's
speech, nnd beg leavo to say that if
necessary we shall republish all of it,
so that there can bo no possible mis
apprehenElon.
"If," said he, "wo coin a silver dollar
of full legal tender, obviously below
the current value of the gold dollar," as
Is proposed today, the discrepancy
amounting at present almost to CO per
cent, whereas at tho time when Mr
Blaine spoke It amounted to only about
8 per cent., "we aro simply opening our
doors and Inviting Europe to take our
Bold. With our gold flowing out fiom
us we shall be forced to the single sil
ver standard and our relations with tho
lending commercial countries of the
world will not only be embarrassed but
crippled." In 1S7S we had only $l(i0,wu,-
000 of gold, the withdrawal of which Mr.
Lilalne feared unless bimetallism vera
effected on an international basis. Sil
ver then was worth $1.15 an ounce. To
duy we have 000,000,000 of gold which
would be lost through Independent free
coinage, and the silver which Would
try to take its place is worth only 70
cents per ounce. In other words, tho
risk of free coinage) now Is nearly five
times greater than It was when Mr.
Bluiue refused to sanction Independent
action, yet the Times tries to make Its
readers believe thut the great Maine
statesman would today If alive favor
the election of Bryan.
The sentence which we have quoted
above is indicative of the general tenor
of Mr. Blaine's speech. The sentence
which the Times quotes does not fairly
present the case for the reason that
notwithstanding Mr. Blaine's strong
belief In the wisdom and equity of the
joint standard (a belief shared then
and now by a large majority of the na
tional leaders In Republicanism) he
explicitly refused to sanction any at
tempt to re-establish that standard in
dependently of the other principal na
tions and fought with all his matchless
ability against the efforts of the silver
ring to secure monopolistic concttix'.ons
from the United States government
Mr. Slngerly says Protection Is "a
dead carcass." If he wants to know
just how dead it is he should consult the
election returns of November, 1S94.
To Holders of Life Insurance.
The New York Life Insurance com
pany, by Its president, John A. McCall,
has issued a circular letter to its 2S7.000
policy holders, in which it unequivo
cally denounces the "financial here
sies" of the Democratic platform. The
circular intimates that if the prin
ciples of the Democratic money plank
were carried into effect the insurance
companies would be forced Into paying
the claims of the insured In debased
currency for the reason that they
"could hot, even if they were willing,
provide for the payment of their claims
in gold." The letter is practically an
official appeal 'to the public and holders
of Insurance policies to be on the side
of sound money. It Is as follows:
The life Insurance companies nnd asso
ciations of this country operation In tho
state of Hew York, as It appears from tho
report of tho superintendent of Insurance
department. Issued in 1SD0, number mora
than 10.000,000 of policy holders, divided as
follows: Industrial, 6.074.C32; old line,
1,S77,803; frnternnl, 1,201,448; assessment,
433.SI37; total, 10.4O7.S75. If to this Is added
the beneficiaries of the Insured, 1. e., their
wives and children, except Industrial pol
icy holders, there are at least K.OOO.O.K) per
sons Interested In the payment of claims
by these companies and associations.
Burlng the year 1K'5 these several organ
izations paid to .policy holders and their
benellclurles JKG.103.CIU. Similar payments
for the last five years exceed '730,000,000.
It Is within reason to assume that the
payments to Insured persona and tha wl- I
dows and orphans of such persons for tho
next live years will equal this last men
tioned rum. The total outstanding Insur
ance contracted to be puld Is $'J.WI,W7,4I7.
This stun must be paid at some time or
other, for death Is certain. Haw sliull it
be paid? In what kind of dollars dollars
in sold, worth 100 cents, or dollars in sil
ver, worth 01 cents or less? The insurance
policy Itself Is an Agreement to pay In
lawful momy, and the main issue Involved
in the forthcoming election 'brings home
to every policy holder this question, "in
what commodity shall the payment be
made?" With silver dollars and gold dol
lars at a parity, the question answers It
self, but with dollars worth only U cents
what may be the effect on the widow and
children for whom the-policy holder hoped
to provide In the event of his death, or on
his business, which he expects to straight
en out with the proceeds of his policy?
What may be the elteot on the compe
tency of his old age, which he expected to
derive from honest dollars, and whicn
may be payable In doubtful dollars If the
free coinage of silver Is adopted ? The pi e
miums have been paid in gold or its equiv
alent, and to comipel the policy holder or
his family to accept one-half the value
that he has rald for at the maturity of
the claim would be as Iniquitous and In
defensible as though he had been robbed
on the highway.
If the views of the Chicago candidate
prevail the companies could not, even if
they are willing, provide for the payment
of their claims In gold dollars. The plat
form on which he stands reads In part ns
follows: "We demand that the standard
sliver dollar shall be a full legal tender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public or
private, and we favor such legislation ns
will prevent for the future the dcmonettza.
lion of any kind of le;;al tender money by
nrivnto contract." The record of the tie.
bauched currency period of 1870-73, when
thirty life Insurance companies rctlrnd
from business. Is too recent nn object les
son to bo forgotten, and its results too
deplorable to permit the custodians of life
Insurance funds to be indifferent to me
creat dancer that threatens policy hold
ers and those depending on them. Surely
It la not a riollttcal onestlon that con
fronts us, and even If It Is, on the vital
noint ot Issue sound money wnicn in
volve the honor of tho people nnd the
iironerttv of the country, the Chips go can
rildnte and platform are antagonistic, and
we may well subordinate our nonessen
tial convictions to tho essential one. for
patriotic reasons If no other. Their rnosen
officers mav officially appeal to Insured
nnd beneficiary for common and united ac.
tlnn nr.ilnst those who would greatly im
pair. If not destroy, the protection that
has been Recurcd hy much self-dcnlnl. No
ono responsible for the management of
Ihosn sacred trusts rhoulrt fall to denounce
IIib flnnnlnl heresies of the cmoaco Plat
form or refuse to join In bringing about
tho defeat of their advocate.
We wonder If Mr. Bryan and his col
leagues foresaw nil the opposition which
they have aroused.
"The Ilopnblicnn pnrty tnm! for
honest money nnd tho chnncc to enrn
it by honest Uil." -William Mi-Kin
Icy
James II. Teller, of Chicago, a brother
of the Colorado senator, nnd a noted free
silver writer, admits in a signed letter
to the Chicago Record that the adoption
of free coinage by tho United States
alone would drive out gold faster than
silver could be coined to take Its place;
but he adds that "certificates could be
Issued against silver bullion at Its coln-
aga value." Very well; the price of
silver bullion, as fixed by the world,
would remain at or very near 70 cent3
an ounce, while Its coinage value would
be $1 .9-9 an ounce. In other words, tho
silver certificates which ho proposes
would be flat money to the extent of tho
discrepancy between bullion and coin
agtf values. What Is this but Intlation?
The London Finfiticlnl News pretends
to think that tho American free silver
movement Is nn attempt to "scoop
England out of the world's markets."
Tho News would like to play on the
anti-English sentlinent in this country
so as to scoop us out of England's
way. Americans of sense see through
this trick.
THE BEST STANDARD.
From the New York Times.
It Is absolutely necessary to have somo
commodity of value for lids purpose, and
It is necessary that it should contain In
Itself intrinsically tho value it purports
to represent. It Is obviously desirable
that it should contain the amount of
value represented hy the unit and its lower
niultlph s, say, from one to twenty dollars,
in small compass. It must, therefore, ba
an article of high value, in comparison
with other commodities, so thut the sums
which have to be bundled and transported
In trade shall not be too bulky. It must
be In universal use and esteem the world
over and be easily transported from place
to place. Another important quality Is
that It shall be reudily divided into parts
representing different denominations In
the system of measurement. Coinage is
nothing but the process of making pieces
of the standard material representing tha
unit and Its multiples, with u. government
stamp which conveys the guarantee that
the quuntlty, fineness, and value are there,
and furnishes a safeguard against coun
terfeiting In Inferior weight or material.
There Is no Inducement to make counter
feit coin of full value, for there would ba
no profit In it. Neither is there any need
of legal-tender laws to make standard
coin acceptable In payment of anything.
II II II
Another quality In the material of our
standard, which is the most important of
all, is that Its value In relations to that
of other articles of commerce shall be as
stable as possible. It must be the mate
rial possessing the other qualities neces
sary or desirable In a general medium of
exchange which Is the least subject to
variation. There may he no substance ab
solutely without variableness, but, as wo
must havo some substance of Intrinsic
value, that Is best whose liability to
change is least. It Is a general fact that
commodities which exist in comparative
ly small quantity, which can be produced
and brourrht Into use only nt hlsh cost,
and which consequently have large value
In small compass are least subject to
change in value, because the variation in
the relative demand and supply Is slight.
II II II
Now, gold has been proved by tho ex
perience of ages to be of all substances
the best adapt od to become a general
standard for the measurement of values.
It Is universally distributed and every
where !n demand for use or ornament; it
has large value In email compass and Is
easily divided and wrought Into conve
nient forms: It Is not subject to rust or
decay, and It Is of all articles of mer
chandise at all adapted for general circu
lation that which is ruhject to the least
change of value In relation to other pro
ducts of nature and of human labor. A
certain quantity of It 'being Itself the
measure of value, such change as does oc
cur can only be noted by a comparison
of the range of prices through a scries of
years, but It Is a demonstrable fact that
gold hns not In the present century
changed to any material degree In Its re
lation of value to other things, and never
has there been a change that was sudden
or that could cause perceptible loss or
gain in any one year or moderato term of
years. The supply for the last fifty years
has fully kept pace with the demand and
with the more extended use for colnace
and other purposes, and tho value Is low
er rather than hltrher now as compared
with that before the discovery of deposits
on this continent. In Australia, Asia, and
Africa of the last half century. While
commerce has expanded very much, so
has the use of devices for effecting Us
exchanges on credit, and the actual use 1
of money for payment of balances and re
demption of credit has not Increased in
greater ratio than the gold supply. Hold
Is today the one safe and stable standard
of value, nnd uay nation that uses a
different oua is at a disadvantage.
II II II
Iron mlcht.be used as a standard of
value, but It Vould take a hundredweight
or so to make a dollar, and the ease,
cheapness and abundun.r- of production
would render the fluctuations In Its value
too great, even if there were en Interna
tional agreement for Its use and an ap
propriation of a vast quantity for curren
cy purposes. It obviously would not "lo.
Copper might be used, but if It took ten
pounds for a dollar nnd a pound for ev
ery dime. It would evidently be Incon
venient, and It Is likewise too plentiful
and produced under too great a variety
of conditions to be held stable In its value.
Next to gold, silver serves the purpose
best, and It formerly served it better than
It can now. Aa the amount of gold in the
dollar or unit of value is very small, some
article of leas value Is needed for the dol
lar coin and for fractions of a dollar, and
silver serves that purpose well. For a
long while, when commerce was less de
veloped and the supply of both precious
metals was much smaller than now and
subject to little fluctuation. It served pret
ty well as a standard. Hut of late It has
been produced In so much larger quantity
and at so much smaller cost that Its value
has not only fallen greatly, but has be
come so subject to variation as to make It
unsafe as a standard even In coins of the
full value of the present gold coins. The
sliver In existing silver coins has gone
down to little more than half Its former
value, and, ot course, to make them the
standard would upset everything that de
pends upon stability in the monetary system.

SHOUT 1I18TOHV OF SILVER
COINAUE.
From tho Burlington Hawkeye.
In a period of twenty years, from 1853 to
1S73, the United States coined over 700.000.
000 of gold and only about C.uoO.OOO of silver
dollars. And that was In the period when
we hud free coinage of silver. In the next
period of twenty years the government
coined over 64u,ooO,000 silver dollars. And
this was done after the "demonetization"
of silver in 1!73.
THE TRUE SOLUTION.
From tho Carbondule Herald.
This s-ems to be a short but true -solution
of a perplexing question. It Is
offered by the Scrantan Tribune: "A
doubling ot the number of mine inspec
