Mr. Bryan's Speech.
We make no npol'my for Riving In full
tV speech delivered In New York last
nlsht by the free ruinate candidate for
president. Jt Is the carefully jircpart'il
Ftatenient of his pnllticnl views; Ills
platform, so to sponk. All iltlsteiisi
Should study It, sn that they may know
exactly what they slmuM do when they
shall jrn to the pulls next November, t i
choose their next chief rnnrintriiti.
The uriruincnt made by Mr. H'yan for
the Independent free coinage of silver
and that Is the one part of hi speech
Which touches the linmedlale Issue is
adroit rather than ronvlnclnpr. It Is a
studied lilt of Ktase-plny to the preju
dices of di:;eor,ent rather than nn
honest nnd ciindld appeal to reason. All
persons admit that Inequalities exist in
life; that many persons do nut pet their
Just dues In the striurRlo for existence,
and that the lot of the farmer and tin
day laborer especially pres- ntu tinde
rervod hardidilps. These thlnrts are not
In dispute. The question nt issue is,
will nny of these injustices bo perma
nently righted by the experiment of
Blnjrlo-hnndod free silver coinaK"?
Mr. nrynn attributes our economic
ills mainly to the scnr?ity of money
and claims that the gold standard is
the cause of this scarcity, l.lut how
does it hnppen that there is more
money per rspitn today In the United
Plates than ever there was before the
(Told standard was adopted? This
fact, w.hich cannot be denied, disposes
of his chief promise, and therefore in
validates bis conclusions. It Is true
that at present much or this money is
Inactive because boarded, but four
years ngo when we had Protection nnd
before the apprehension of radical
financial change wet-blanl:e(ed invest
ments nnd scared capital into hiding,
the reverse was true. Four years ago
on the gold standard, money was plen
tiful, work was steady, wases were high
and the general condition of the busi
ness of the country was superior to that
of any prior .time In the history of the
republic.
So, then, it was not the gnUl stand
ard that wrought the mischief which
feeds the springs of present discon
tent. What was It? Mr. liryan ns one
of the architects of the Wilson bill ought
to know.
- -
The free silver candidate In his Can
ton Hpeecfl, liked advocates of sound
money to thieves. But often It Is the
thief himself who first cries, "Stop,
thief!"
To the Point.
Colonel Albert W. Kwalm, editor of
the Oskaloosa, la.. Herald, has made
the following standing offer to free sil
ver men who claim that under free
y coinage the bullion value of silver would
go to par and! that the silver dollar
would therefore not depreclnte:
' I will pay, tnVty days after the passa.?
of a free cnmaJf? bill and election of Mr.
'Bryan as prtslOerit, 51,11)0 In silver dollars,
or silver certificates, for fWiO of gold coin
of present standard. One year utter tho
)iaace of u. tree coinage bill 1 will ex
change l.iwo American ilvcr dollars, or
fiilvtr cert iilc.ucs, for l.nm Mexican dol
lars, even up. These latter cm now bo
Hurchased at S3 cents. Rcfrrervc, Os.Ua
loosa National bank. Call early.
It Is not likely that riryan will bo
elected or that a free coinage law will
lie iiassed. At the same time, Colonel
Swalm's offer is one that has some
thing more than mere words behind it,
and consequently shciws what
lirac.tical men think of the assertion
that American flat can lift the world's
silver to a parity with gold.
The story again goc-s that Senator
Quay Is to be MeKinley's secretary of
the navy; which justitles a repetition of
the observation that ho would be a
Rood one.
"Tlio ltt'piiliiictiu pnrty Mantli
for honest money nnd tlio chance
to earn it by honest foil."
W 1 1. 1. 1 A H MK I Mi E V.
,
Who are the foremost alvocates
of the free coinage of M-cent silver
dollars? Are they not the rich mlnc
nwners of the west, who sea a clinno?
to make out of the people of the United
.States 47 pt.-r rent, extra profit on the
oii'tput of their mines? Do the voters
of this vicinity care to tax themselves
47 cents on the dollar for the benefit
of these two dozen western million
aires? Sophistry Unmasked.
As nn argument why depositors in
banks anil members of building and
loan associations should vote to have
their savings repaid In half-value dol
lars, the Times draws this doleful pic
ture: The single peld standard means an ever
increasing value to gold, .which means
that the prices of everything else are cor
respondingly dimlnlshir.fr. This means
closlne, down of factories, or running on
half time. The workmen, therefore, whj
constitute the b'.Mk of building associa
tion dejiosltors, bring out of work alto
gether or working only on short time, will
be obliged to withdraw what little savlng-i
they have in the associations. The bor
rowers will And an ever increasing dif
Poulty in keeping up their dues, interest
and premium, because from year to year
It will require more effort or goods to ob
tain the dollars with which to lio.uki.itt?
their loan. As a consequence a great
many borrowers will be un-iblc to continue
their payments, and their little homes will
bo forced on tbe market. The directors
of the building associations will then ful l
that real estate on which they have made
loans has so depreciated In value that It
will not tell for what they have loaned.
Hence there will be a loss, which must be
made up by on assessment on the stock
holders, und this assessment is levied alike
upon depositors and borrowers. If the
losses from failure to realize upon depre
ciated rial estate are very heavy, the as
sociation Is obliueil to go Into the hands ef
a receiver cr be wound up. which Inevit
ably entails Brent loss. The history of
building association in cities during the
past three year conlirms the foregoing.
The llr.st point to be decided is
whether the Times' premise is correct,
namely, that the gold standard means
a full In tin- price of everything except
gold. The Times' mere assertion Is not
Fiiflldent to establish this, especially
when government statistics show that
the price of labor, one of the most Im
portant of marketable commodities,
tmflor the gold standard, from 1S78 M
J .!, rose from an annual average wage
of J.'.lTi In the former year to nearly
$oflO in the latter. If waives rose, It did
not hurt labor that in the main the
prices of manufactured articles fell. On
tlio contrary, that fact directly benefited
labor, by Increasing tin- purchasing
power of labor's wage. Hecauso Im
proved met hods, machinery and general
trnde facilities have caused the prices
of manufactured goods to drop does not
necessarily mean that the gold stan
dard has had a hand In it. The fall In
certain prices! is world-wide, and com
mon to silver countries ns well as to
Kohl countries. It cannot be cured ex
cept by a world-wide remedy.
It is not true, then, that the gold
Pt.nndnid has closed factories, put labor
on hair time or done nny of the horrible
things that the Times attributes to It.
Wf have had the gold standard In full
force with specie payments In this
country since 1S78. From that date un
til 18!". the country was more prosper
ous than at any other porlod in nil Its
P.lRtory, Instead of factories closing
and labor going on half time during
those fourteen years of Protection nnd
sound money, the fact Is known dis
tinctly to every adult render of these
lines that, on the contrary, factories
multiplied, production t-xpanded be
yond nil precedent and wages shared in
the general prosperity. There was no
widespread closing down of factories,
no serious nnd general curtailment of
employment, no sustained stringency in
business until Democracy three years
ngo started to redeem Its threat against
Protection. The Times itself admits
our indictment and gives away Its own
ense wh"n it says that "the history of
building af.l loan associations In cities
during the past three years confirms
the forogoiii!." If It had said during
the past seventeen gold standard years
history would nt once have knocked Its
flimsy contention to pieces. As to the
cry that the frold standard depresses the
price of real estate, let the Times study
the real estate quotations in this city
since 1S7S and see If it does.
The whole financial Issue, so far as
labor Is concerned, Is, we repeat, ex
pressed In this one question: Does
labor want Its savings or Its wages to
be converted from good to poor money,
when to do so will mean a loss cf prac
tically 60 per cent. In the transaction?
If so, then every uorkingman should
vote for free silver coinage.
-
The Times juggles with a lot of figures
In a desperate attempt to prove that
the Wilson bill has benefited the farmer;
but every Intelligent farmer knows that
wheh the Wilson Mil closed home work
shops or cut clown the wages of home
labor it took from him his best market
and left to him only the shadowy pros
pect of trying to compete In far-off
Europe with the cereal output of India,
Argentine and other cheap-labor coun
tries. An American citizen made
hungry by steady work at good wages
is the consumer that the American far
mer needs in order to get a comfortable
living off his farm. That need will not
be supplied under free silver or free
trade.
From 1S73 to 18S5, under Republican
rule, there was never In any one year
less thnn $72,000,000 of a balance of trade
In our favor, except In 1882, when the
balance fell to $25,000,000. But In 1881
It had been $259,00,000. After Mr. Cleve
land had been in oflice two years the bal
ance was found to be against us to the
amount to $28,000,000. During Har
rison's administration under the Mc
Kitiley law, there was m one year, an
excess of $202,000,000 m exports over
Imports. Only when Protection Is as
sailed does the balance turn against
us. Protection, in other words. Is In
dispensable to a wholesome condition
of business In the United States.
The Lesson of Experience.
There Is no guide to future action so
safe and sure as the experience of the
past. It Is fortunately true, as the
Philadelphia Keoord opportunely
points out, that the worklngmen of
this country have had ample exper
ience with the effects of good and bad
money, and ns sensible men they ought
to be guided by that experience now,
rather than by the fluent babble of the
theorists and agitators who, nfter talk
ing them Into free trade misfortunes
four earn ago now seek to repeat the
process on a silver basis. Here are the
facts as recalled by the Iteoord:
In ISWl a committee of the United Stales
senate investigated nnd reported upon tlio
fluctuations of prices and rates of wages
i In the last half century. The report or
this committee, which is absolutely trust
worthy in Its data, shows that in iVS af
ter uncovered paper currency was put into
forced circulation and gold money h:il
disappeared tbe value of the legal-tenip'r
dollarsank almost immediately to 7H eenls.
At the same time as a result of this
crippled purchasing power of money there
was a rise of IS per cent, in the prices of
223 articles of dally use among the peo
ple. While prices thus nominally rose Is
per cent. In depreciated currency, there
was a rise of oniy 3 per cent, in the wages
of labor.
In KH3 the paper dollur was worth (19
cents; wages were 10!i per cent, better,
and the prices of commodities had risen
4!i per cent. That is to say, wages were
10'j per cent, better, necessaries or living
4li per cent, higher and money SI per cent,
worse than In 1M. In the following year
the?e relations or the prices of commod
ities, wages of labor and purchasing pow
er of money were still more unfavorable
to worklngmen. WhMo the dollar was
worlh 40 cents, wages were only 23'-j per
cent, higher nnd the prices of commod
ities had risen to BO per cent., or nearly
four times as high as the wages of labor.
In 1HS the prices of these commodities
had more than doubled in consequence of
the depreciation of money.
The same report shows that for every
dollar (IK) cents) of wages which the Amer
ican wnrkingman received In 1MJ( under
the gold standard) he received only TG
rents in 1st;:), only Si) cents In IWil, ami only
(Hi cents In 1St!3. In the three years last
named the wujres of labor had fallen re
spectively 21. 20 nnd 31 per cent, under the
operation of depreciated money. It should
be borne In mind, too, that this was at a
time when hundreds of thousands of men
were In the military sorvlee of the conn
try, consuming and not producing com
modities. Yet notwithstanding the scarc
ity of labor, stimulated by the demand of
Ihe Industries employed In producing ma
terials of war. tbe ndvnnee In the rates of
wages was trivial In comparison with the
advance In the prices of the necessaries
of living.
.liidged In the lirrht of experience the
present proposition for cheapened dol
lars Is, therefore, pimply a proposition
for the cutting down of the purchas
ing power of th wages of labor. In
stead of reducing the nominal amount of
those wages, as has been done during
the past three years of "tariff reform,"
It Is now intended to btigar-coat the ob
jectionable dose by a reduction In the
value of the dollar paid. Dut the actual
effect will be as bnd in the one case as
In the other. Thus the man who gets $2
a day now on the gold standard would
under free silver get, It is true, two
nominal dollars, but those two dollars
together would be worth for buying pur
poses not more than $1 .OB In the gold
values of today. ConFequcntly no work
Ingman who Is unwilling to have his
wage halved should vote for Uryan and
the silver standard.
The Times is the victim of a halluci
nation when it says this paper has re
fused to answer its questions. The Tri
bune believes It has answered fully
every serious argument that the Times
has advanced, and we are willing to
leave it to the public to decide.
SILVER AND THE FARMER.
There Is a deal of philosophy In the let
ter which William II. Michael recently
printed In the Washington Post. Says he:
A Nebraska homesteader, an old acquaint
ance or mine, contributes a bit of llier
nture to the campaign, which, In lis way,
Is rather Interesting. He says: "I nm In
debt and If the free coinage of silver will
Kncfil me as a debtor 1 am in for it." lio
goes on to say that some years ago he
borrowed KiieO and gave a mortgage on his
farm to secure it. The lund had been
given him by the government ns a home,
stead. With most of the money ho pur
chased young stock, which was in a fair
way to discharge the debt, when the
droughty seasons came on and compelled
him to dispose of It at a sacrifice. Kals
Ing nothing to live on ho was obliged to
use up the money he got for the catlie
tn rubslst his family until something could
be produced. Thus the mortgage became
a fixture on the land. He says: "1 am
sure 1 cannot pay off this mortgage by
raising wheat and selling at u cents a
bushel, or by raising oats nnd selling them
at 10 cents a bushel, or by raising potatoes
and selling them at 15 cents a bushel. 1
cannot borrow any more money on my
land, for it Is loaded down to the guards.
If free silver will double up the price on
what I can raise I might be able to pay off
the mortgage and start In again."
Here Is a real case one which Illustrates
many thousands of others to be met with
In almost every state in the Union. This
farmer Is tempted to vote for free silver
because he Is told by the free silver ora
tors that the success of their policy will
accomplish what Bryan and other free
traders promised four years ago tariff
reform would certainly bring about. Then
It wss "free trade" and now It Is "free sil
ver." Then !t was "barbarism" for this
country to maintain an Independent com
mercial policy which shut out foreign man
ufactured gools- unless the right to com
pete with out laborers wai paid for. No v
It is worse than berbarfsm for this coun
try not to be wholly Independent of every
foreign nation In its financial relations.
But the farmers are promised relief If they
will place In power the silver party, eo
callcd. and give them a chance to ay
hold on the horn of plenty ami shower tUa
silver dollars plenteously over tho land!
Just how will the free coinage of silver
help out my Nebraska friend? Suppose
he should be able to sell his wheat for $1,
Instead of 5" cents: his oats for 20 cents,
instead of 10 cents a bushel, and so on,
would other condition be sueh as to make
this fact of nny advantage to him? Mr
liryan edniitted on tho 2lih of last June
in; a lecture on bimetallism delivered In
Iowa that business depression nnd a panic
would follow the enactment of a law au
thorizing free and unlimited coinage of
silver. How long, I would like to know,
would such business, depression and panto
last? Would it last long enough for my
farmer friend to fall so far behind in his
Interest payments as to lose his farm en
tirely? Should he survive the Immediato
effects of free coinage, would his chance
for escape from the burden of his mort
gage be better than now? He would have
to buy and sell in the samo markets a3
now. If he sot more he would have to
pay more. Conditions would certainly
nd.itist themselves upon the new basis,
and he would find himself In no better
position to pay off his mortgage than be
fore. In one respect he would tlnd his po
sition much worse, If In nothing else. Ho
would nnd it utterly impossible to renew
his loan as he had been able to do. Thus
free colmqe promises a plunge Into dis
aster at the start, nnd fails to show that
the condition of the farmer will be Im
proved at the outcome. This Is no time
for the adoption of any theory that will
unsettle business more than it is now un
settled. The farmer and the laborer are
the least able to endure Increased hard
times, and they above all others should be
most active in preventing the calmity of
free silver coming upon the country.
IIOXESTV TIIK IIEST POLICY.
From the Wiikes-Harre Times.
Judge Alfred Hand, of Seranton, who Is
summering at the seashore has written
of the currency situation to a friend at
heme nnd the newspapers have been al
lowed to publish some of his opinions.
Judge Hand evidently believes that a
ration should conduct its affairs on the
principle tho laws demand from a private
business firm or Individual that Is In a
strictly honest manner. If nn Individual
attempts to settle his obligation by paying
53 cents on the dollar his creditors have a
riRht to know why he wants to do so and
why he cannot pay in full. If he can pny
dollar for dollar they enn make hlin do It.
If the creditors of the United States can
not legally make It pay In good money
they are Just as much entitled to It moral
ly as In the case of the private citizen.
