HOW DOES IT HAPPEN t Free coinage advocates, who claim thnt their scheme for M-cent dollars would benefit the whole people, should explain how It happens thnt the most civilized countries hnvo gradually abandoned the silver standard; that the great commercial nations which do the largest portion of the world's business are all on the gold basis; that no Important country has ever gone back to silver after once using gold as a measure of value; that wages are far higher In gold standard countries than In China, Mexico and all other silver countries; that the condition of the American farmer Is so greatly superior to that of the ryots who cultivate the soil of silver standnrd Jmlia; that if it be true that the gold stand ard lowers the price of goods this is iot deslrnble for our sixty-live million con sumers; that wherever the experiment cf cheapening the currency has been tried It has alway.4 Injured most the masses whose Inbor produces all wealth; and that the men most anxious to' overthrow our present standard are the silver mine owners, speculators and f lice seeking politicians.
