Why ?
An emharrusslr.ir tiuer.tlin Is nskoil by
tho Washington Post when, lifter rnll
inc; attention to the "absolute certain
ty" of lirynn'p i-lictlon (according to
the free sliver orceins) nml the equal
"certainty" thnt his election will raise
the jirlee of silver, at home nnd brum,
to $1.29 per ounce In gold, It goes on to
Hsy;
"Now, It Is not tho custom In finan
cial circles In thesp latter days to wait,
before action, for the full consummation
of a thing that Is surely going to be.
Coming events cast their shadows be
fore. Speculation reaches Into future
and tnolcle.i Its ehnncts. The orop re
ports of every month In the year affect
the market.-. Wheat, cotton, corn, beef,
hog products, nnd nil other agricultural
staples go up or down according to tha
vnrylng prospects Indicated by such re
ports. Silver Is a commodity and sub
ject to the ranie conditions In the mar
ket that affect v'le output of the farm.
!f, therefore, silver la sure to be worth
51.28 per ounce next year. It ought to
tiegijto rtae now. There Is any amount
of lftonoy that can be hod for a Rood
thing at 6 per cent, a year; for a sure
thin;; at a lower rate. Why Is not sil
ver advancing toward its destiny?
Why Is it not closing the bread gap b.;
tv?&n bullion uml coinage valuations?
Jf it Is going to bo worth $1.29 when the
assured victory la won, why is St not
netting for $1 or $1.10 now? And why
has silver, instead of going up toward
Its golden goal, turned tail and gone
rtown from f9 cents pt-r ounce to 06
cents? No educational campaign enn
be needed to teueh the speculative
mind that there Is profit In buying at
66 cents If one Is sure of selling a year
hence at $1.29. There uro speculative
minds among the silver men. Why do
they hold buck? Why don't they buy
liver? "
Maybe the Scranton. Times can ans
wer these lnquirires.

Free Silver In Japan,
There Is no Pennsylvania!; who does
not know Rudolph Blankenburg, of
Philadelphia, and have confidence In his
truthfulness. Mr. Blankenourg says:
"I have traveled all over the world, and
have spent, much time In - countries
where I never saw a gold dollar. From
my observations in countries on a sil
ver basis X can say that, as to the mode
of living and the prosperity of tb.e peo
ple, there is no comparison between
them and countries on a gold basis.
("Take Japan, for instance. In that
country skilled workmen get 15 cents
a day, and are forced to eat less and
poorer food than men In similar trades
In this country. Artistic workmen who
could earn $30 a week here get E0 cents
a day in Japan. If this is what free
silver does for the people we do not
want It here. If the workmen suffer
business is bound to feel it. The 'two
are indissolubly bound together. When
in Japan I bought a book which was
valued at 1 yen, which is the Japanese
silver dollar, and contains more silver
than our own. I asked the book dealer
If he would take American money. He
said he would, and in return for an
American silver dollar he gave me the
book and a Japanese yen. Thus I had
the book and more silver than I gave,
because Japan was on a silver basis,
and, though its yen was marked as a
dollar, the purchasing power had been
reduced one-half.
"Business men and workmen are
afraid that the low price of labor in
Japan will seriously interfere with
American manufactures. Japan will be
able to drive us out of our own market
If Bryan is elected, as he is a strong
free trader. Business men want an
honest dollar to do business with. They
do not want to see a Canadian come
into this country with his dollar guar
anteed by the gold standard of England,
purchase a dollar's worth of goods and
got an American dollar in change for
his dollar."
They will never see this, for the simple
reason that Bryan will not win, neither
will this country ever permit Its dol
lars to become cheaper than the dol
lars of any other nation. The best dol
lar on earth Is none too good for the
American people.
It Is amusing to notice how our
Democratic contemporaries strive to
keep the attention of the voter away
from the tariff Issue by voluminous
arguments In favor of a shoddy cur
rency. The voter who thinks, how
ever, will not forget that It wns dur
ing the days of the iMcKinlcy bill that
the wheels of Industry were humming
and prosperity smiled upon the land.
No matter how plentiful money may
be in the hnnds of the wealthy, It will
not help the laboring man who has no
opportunity to earn it.
"I do not know w hnt you think
about it, but I believe that it is n
good deal better to open the
mills of the United States to the
labor or America than to cpen up
the mints of the I'nitcd States
to the silver of the world."

The Coins and the Low.
Tho following convincing statement
of the coinage laws of the Unite;l
States has been prepared for the Roch
ester Post-ExprC3s by the Hon. Charles
Daniels, member of congress from tho
Thirty-third New York district:
"The great complaint of the advo
cates of the free coinage of silver has
at all times had its source in the' en
actment of the law of February 12,
1873. By that act the coinage unit was
changed from the sliver to the gold
dollar, and the legal tender quality of
the sllve:' dollar was reduced to no
more than $5 In any one payment.
The law of 1792 had made the silver
dollar the unit. It iwns then well fit
ted for that end because of its pre
vious uniform value, and the coinage
of no other dollar had the sanction of
the law. 1'p to that time silver had
maintained Itself as a stable measuri!
of value, and therefore eminently
adapted to all puaposes as currency.
And as tho gold dollar was not to be
coined no other course was opon than
to declare the silver dollar the unit of
value. And this function was weil
maintained by it until it began to
give evidence cf tho loss of its pre
ceding stability. The law making It
the unit of value endowed it. with
no permanent right to that office but
it was subjected to the vicissitudes of
the future, as they might bo produced
by subsequent events.
"The paramount object of the law
of 1792, iwas the creation of a uniform
and well maintained system of coinage
fairly corresponding with the commer
cial value of the metals used. That
was expressed by Jefferson as the
only true theory. And there is no
renson for believing that any of his
great contemporaries entertained any
different conviction. The end to bj
attained was to create a currency
which would Inspire the confidence i.f
the people, which the preceding Is
sues of paper had wholly lost, and also
meet the requirements of foreign
trade. The constitution which had
then been so recently adopted Justified
the correctness of the conviction. For
while it had vested in congress the
power to coin money, that power was
expressly qualified with the obligation
to regulate Its value. The regulation
was not so delegated as to be in anv
sense arbitrary but like all other pow
ers enumerated It was intended to be
reasonably exercised in the adjustment
of values. And that could not be done
otherwise than by conforming tho
value of the coin to the standard of
trade and business.
"The United States had taken their
position as a commercial nation en
titled to participate In the .commerco
of the world. And It cannot be sup
posed that any power to compromise
that position was Intended to bo given
to congress. But what .was designed
to te done by the regulation of the
value of the national coinage was to
conform It to the real as well as ac
credited valuation of tho material to
be used. This Is also the power given
over the foreign coins. It was to reg
ulate their value not to give them
values they did not In fact possess, li
there could bo a departure from real
values In regulating domestic coinu
that could also be followed in regu
lating the valued of foreign coins, and
a fictitious valuation be given to all
the money of the country.
"No more Intolerable obstacle could
be placed In the way of commercial re
lations with other countries which it
was one of the objects of the consti
tution to promote and advance. And
that was not overlooked, ror this early
action cf congress was calculated to
adjust the coinage to the standards ot
the commercial world. Jt was not
done to subordinate tho people of tho
United Statis to other nationalltles.bui
to give them all the advantages of
trade and commerce between them
selves and foreign nations.
"And so this unit of the coinage re
mained with slight variations until
1S73. It was then changed to gold, not
because of any unfriendly attitude to
the sliver dollar but because that dol
lar began to give evidence of future
Instability and that had impressed it
self on the other commercial nations:
and a coin of mora lixed ability was
deemed to be required to furnish a
durable standard of money valu?. The
other commercial nations were declar
ing that gold alone cwas that coin and
by the act of 1S73 the gold dollar was
given the position that the silver dol
lar had previously maintained In the
currency of the United States. And
that was really the most that was
done for this colnuge by the law ot
1873. It has been accused of demon
etizing silver but ' no accusation has
ever been more unfounded. It did not
demonetize silver but provided for Its
future free and unlimited coinage on a
better ratio of value, making it 420 to
one, Instead of 41214 to one as It pre
viously had been. And this coinage
remained unchanged until the act of
July 22, 1870, deprived this s'lver dollar
of Us legal tender quality, which had
extended to the sum of $3 In any one
payment. But this was no serious
change so far ns private transactions
were concerned, Inasmuch as the Unit
do States' paper currency was then
conveniently fulfilling all the legal ten
der requirements,
"During the Interval between 1S73
and 187C more silver dollars and other
silver currency iwere issued than dur
ing any other equal preceding period
of time since the formation of the Fed
eral government. Instead, therefore,
of being an act to demonetize silver,
the net of 1S73 greatly continued and
increased Its free coinage. And so far
as these silver dollars remained in this
country, they afterwards were coined
Into standard dollars under the au
thority of a law of 1SS7. And the
standard dollar has been coined down
to the present time on the old ratio,
although It has forfeited the right to
that coinage on every sound piinciple
of monetary safety. No fair giound of
complaint can therefore exist against
the silver colnnge laws, unless it be
that they are now too generous to
a metnl which has so far fallen below
the standard that safa coinage re
quires to be maintained. They sure
ly should be changed,' allowing a liber
al and Increased coinage ot fractional
sliver on a sound ratio which is now
convertible Into United States treasury
notes. And that is permitted by the
Republican platform, which goes no
farther than to deny the right of the
free coinage of the sliver dollar on the
ratio of sixteen to one."
A somewhat startling statement is
made In a well-known musical paper to
the effect that the "Gospel Hymns"
singing book is directly responsible for
the Armenian massacres. It is said
that the hymns in this book were trans
lated into the Armenian tongue and
used In church worship by the converts
of the American missionaries and were
very popular. The attention of Turkish
officluls was called to the titles of many
of the songs such ns "Onward Christian
Soldiers," and other warlike themes.
The matter was laid before the sultan,
who became convinced that the mis
sionaries were planning an uprising and
that the church hymns were battle
Esr.rrs. It was then that the resolution
to exterminate the Armenian race was
formed. This plausible explanation of
tho most shocking butchery In the his
tory of tho world may perhaps be taken
with a grain of allowance, but If true It
must furnish food for reflection on the
part of those who are zealous to convert
the heathen In foreign lands while the
heathen at home continue to walk in
darkness.

WHY SILVER HAS FALLEN.
From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the most eminent Instructors In
economies at Harvard university Is Pro
fessor V. YV. Taussig. Ho Is an author
ity on topics related to finance. In ft
letter over his signature In a recent is
sue of the HoHton Transcript ho gives
some facts and figures which deserve the
attentive consideration of those who 'arc
interested In the, great monetary question
of the day. Professor Taussig writes:
"The decline In 'the price of silver was
started by several causes. The decline
became marked in 1870, and was then due
to
" (a) A diminution for the time being of
the demand for silver from British India.
" (b) Cessation, of free coinage of silver
In tho Latin Union, and In other countries.
" (c) Bales of silver by tho German gov
ernment, " (rt) Homo Increase In production, with
rumors of more to come,
"But much more significant than tho
why and how of tin start In the decline
of silver Is the question why silver not
only began to fall, but kept on falling.
And here we must face the fact of a
great and rapid Increase In produotion.
Briefly to repeat familiar figures., the
world's production of silver In round num.

"The great and striking fall to the price
of silver bullion took place not Immediate
ly after the demonetization of 1873. but by
a process which went on steadily and at
nn accelerating rate from 1874 to the pres
ent time. Tho United States purchases
under the Bland-Allison act of 1878 and
the sliver purchase net of 1890, heavy
though they were, did not check the fall.
It was unquestionably due In the main to
the extraordinary Increase In production
which went on even In face of declining
prices. It was this Increase which mainly
brought the market ratio between silver
and gold down to 31 to 1, nnd made the s!l
ner dollar worth Intrinsically only C2
cents In gold: and it Is this which makes
silver now unlit for use ns the basis of
tho monetary system of the United
States."
II II II
When It Is taken Into consideration that
gold production since lS":i linn also been
largely increased the fall In silver has
still further explanation. There never be
fore was a time since men began to search
the earth for the money metals when the
search was so abundantly rewarded, nor
when production has been so cheapened
by newly discovered processes. Had there
been a trebling of the production of wheat,
or of Iron, or of copper, or of nny other
product of our fields or our mines, unac
companied by nn Increased demand, ther
would have been a full or price similar to
that which has accompanied the Increased
outturn of silver. The fact Is that urlces
Are regulated by supply nnd demand, an
not by speculators or lawmakers.
LOOKING FORWARD.
From tho Times-Herald.
So long as we remain on the existing
gold standard the government of thu
United States Is able, with Its credit, to
complement the real value of the sliver
dollar so as to maintain it at par with
gold, or 100 cents to the dollar. If we
abandon the gold standard silver will
necessarily tako care of Itself. It takes
care of Itself on the fluctuating basis of
its ratio to gold.
II II II
It Is maintained by the advocates of tho
free and unlimited coinage of silver that
the ratio will grow more favorable.
There Is nothing in the history of silver
to warrant this presumption, but, assum
ing that It have foundation, there still
can be no denial that the value of a dollar
will fluctuate with the ratio. In order,
then, to get tho most favorable view pos
sible of what our silver dollars would be
worth should we go to the silver basis, it
Is well to look at the real value of tho
silver dollar for a quarter century.

It may be that in twenty-live years nttr
we go on the silver basis silver In a silver
dollar will be worth 100 cents. This Is a
very extravagant conceit, but, grunting
It for tho sake of argument, what a fine
time the business of the country will havo
meanwhile finding out every day from
London what Its silver dollars are worth.
But suppose, also for the sake of argu
ment, that tho ratio will not grow more
favorable, that It shall persist in Its tend
ency to grow less favorable. In what a
condition we shall be, having agreed to
accept for free coinage not only, all our
own silver but also that of all the rest of
the world!
THIS IS THK SITUATION.
From the Buffalo News.
We have greenbacks which are intrinsic
ally worth nothing, but which In their
monetary functions are ns good as gold
because the promise and resources of tho
government are behind them. But the bo
nanza kings, aided by Mr. Bryan, are do
ing all they can to discredit the govern
ment and make these greenbacks worth
less. We have silver dollars which are In
trinsically worth 33 cents each, but which
In their monetary functions are as good
ns gold, because of the declared purpose
of the 'government to maintain them at
pari The bonanza kings, aided by Mr.
Bryan, are doing all they eon to do away
with these silver dollars, and give the peo.
pie a dollar from which the credit of the
government Is entirely removed and which
will have a reduced purchasing power of
only 33 cents. In other words tho silver
dollar which Mr. Bryan would give the
people could only purchase about one
half of what can be purchased by the dol
lar now In use.
