SHARKEY AND FITZ2
I'rospects
TO WATSON F. SHEPHERD.
One of the speakers at the Democnitie
meeting to-night, in I'eigusun's thcatie, is
Watson F. .Shepherd, Esq., caiulidato for
Congress. Thee are scerul questions that
the voters of Hlieiianduah would like Mr.
Shebhord to explain during his address to
night. Here are a lew that have a dircet
boarlng upon the present campaign :
How um you coin-intently support the
financial plank of the Chicago platfurm
which declares for the fiee and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1(1 to 1 after
having voted, as a delegate to tho Allenlown
-convention, and member of the committee
oir resolutions, for the present gold standard ?
Delegate Shepherd, at Alleiituwii, voted for
tlio gold standard, while Candidate Shepherd,
Jit Ilarrisljurg, thiee iiionths later, iu
rnidiutcd tho fonnerand Mded for free silver.
Which of the two is running for Congress V
Jf, us staled by thu free silvorltes, the
adoption of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver will raise the price of all commodities.
Mill the wages of thu laboring man be curio
.spobdingly iurionseil? If so, plouso explain
how?
Can the government fix the rate of wages
liy the Mime law that declares it SD-iciit
dollar to bo woith 100 tents? If not, how Is
the laboring man to ho beneflted hy fiec
silver'
Will not tho adoption of frco silver destroy
the purchasing power of the workingman's
wages one-half ?
Is It right to ask the depositors of saving
.banks, building and loan associations and
similar institution to accept a SO-ccnt dollar
lor the ltlil-cent dollar they deposited in tlieso
institutions?
Do you believe that silver was dcinoiictld
In 1.?:! "secretly and stealthily ?" If to,
can you produce a single dollar that was
demonetized by Congiess?
Is it not a fact that tlio reason the silver
dollar was dropped was Localise it was en
.Uicly out of ciiculution at tho time of the
-"crinio of 1873
Do you, as an honored member of tho
."Schuylkill county I!ir, favor the plank ill the
Chicago platform attacking the Supreme
Court?
l)u you favor tho plank of the Chicago
platform condemning 1'resident Cleveland
for maintaining pioper respect for the law?
Theso are plain, straightforward questions,
and demand dilect and positive answers. You
aro a candidate for ullico and tlio people have
a right to know wlieio you stand.
Let lis hear from ynu, Mr. Shepherd, at
io-niglit's meeting.
Tnrift" of 1W and that It "was averted
delayed and postponed," by an enlarged
volume of monoy due to tho gold dlscovoiios
of this period.
Mr. Wllhclm "heartily endorses" Mr.
Itlaino. We submit whether this Is not a
practical surrender of his contention that tho
falling oil' In tlio gold production, and theact
of Tebrimry Hist, I8B7, were tho principal
oaunes of tho panic occur! tig in tho fall of
ISB7. What became of "this enlarged volume
of money?" Mr. Wllliclin is not at all
curious about this matter and furnished no
figures cither in his speech or letter. This
is a llttlo singular, for Mr. Wllhelm is very
ready with flguros.
Tlio following figures aro compiled from tho
eighteenth number of the "United States
Statistical Abstract," pages fin and (il. Tho
figures nro for fiscal years ending Juno 30.
Dxports of coin and bullion, 1851, tiH.IT-'.TSS;
1SB2, f 12,073,015; 1833, $27, ISI,S75; 1851, $11,
2Sl,r.01; 18!r, 511,817,313; 1850, $15,715,185;
1857, ?09, 130,028; total exports, $312,011,503.
Imports for same period, $12,217,751). Xct
exports of coin and bullion for 7 years, $200,-
7110,801.
Imports of gold and silver cannot be stated
seisirately prior to 1801. Above shows a los
of coin and bullion for the seven years end
ing June 30, 1857, of the enormous value of
nearly $270,000,000.
It should bo kept in mind that our popula
tion for this period ranged from about 21, 000
000 ill 1851 to about 20,000.000 in 1S57, and
that thu volume of our business was less in a
still gieater proportion, compared with the
pieseut, making a loss of this amount of coin
and bullion mole significant then than now.
Any discussion of our gold production and
coinage in relation to volume, of money in
circulation, which omits to stale amounts ex
ported and Imported, whether such omi-slon
be Intentional, or by oversight, is and must
be worthless.
IIa ing sliown, as we think, that Mr. Wil
helm has changed ids base wo might dismiss
our llr-t contention at this point, but we pro
pose to inquiiu into Mr. Wilhelm's method of
using figures. In tieatlng of the world's
production of gold fr this period he selects
two years, 1"53 and ls57. He selects 1853,
wo presume, for tho icason tl.at the pioduc
tion of gold reached high-water inuik that
year. Wu have before us tho estimates of
Soctleer, Tooko and Newinaich, Hay, Seyd,
llortoii and Young. Mr. IVilhelln seems to
have selected the figuies of Kruest Seyd.
We aio mtisfied with these figures.
Commencing with 1810, wo give below

series of years, l-'or United States produc

who place the figures at $200,000,000. Tills is
tho point we wore trying to get at. Wo wero,
however, not left entirely in the dark. Mr.
Wilholm does cito "Coin" Harvey as an
authority. We know now exactly what kind
of authority Mr. Wllliclin values. That is
what wo wero trying to find out. Wo will
say that "Coin" Harvey Inot an authority
on political economy, or the monetary science.
I to is an uxpert juggler of figures, an
ingeuious wrlterof electioneering pamphlets,
nothing more. Wo will tell Mr. Wllhclm
that It Is uscloss for him to quote to us such
authority as "Coin" llarvoy, Wharton
Harkcr, Arthur Kitson, or any writers of
this class. We want from him some, opinions
of writers whom the whole country regards
as authorities.
It is certain that there was practically no
legal tendor foreign coin in circulation dur
ing tlio period under discussion. Silver dol
lars of no less than 115 grains weight and 807
fine wero legal tenders. It was Impossible
for a coin of this character to have circulated
at this period with the rnt'o standing at from
15.27 to 15.33. A coin of this weight and
fineness would contain 372.25 gminsof silver.
Wo submit whether coins of this charm-tor
could circulate with gold. As a matter of
fact they did not, as many people now living
well know. The only placo that such coins
could bo used would bo as bank reserves.
Hut what object would banks lmvo in hold
ing coins whose bullion value was so much
above their fuce value? The estimated
amount of specie in the United States from
1S30 to 1S57 varied from $151,000,000 to $20.-
000,000, standing at $200,000.0il() for the last
year. Taking tho highest figure, $200,000,-1
000, fur 1857, deduct from it $150,000,000 j
foreign coin and you have left $110,000,000 to '
cover all the American gold and silver in!
circulation, a most absurd result. Further, I

REPLY TO WILLIAM WILHELM,
III our issue of Satuiday, 10th int we
published a communication fioui William

sjmiw on that portion of tho letter referring
to tlio number of panics ho enumerated, or
IiUispute witli Mr. Looker, both ot which
uie immaterial. Our contention was on two
.points.
Mr. Wllliclin stated that the panic of 1S57
was caused by tho falling olf of tlio gold
supply and tho deinonetiitiou of foreign
rjoins in 1857 which, ho olahnod, without any
iiilificutiuus, to be $150,000,000. Following

jmmUIou :

Cslling attention to tho wnrld'sproduction,
note that the production for ls57 is nearly
five times greulur than that of lull). Tho
production of the United States from 17U2 to
1817. inclusive, was less than $25,000,OOJ, all
told, less than a fifth of the production for
the yrar of 1857 alone. Tlieso figures seem
to indicate olio fact, that wliateterothercvlls
may have alllictcd tlio business and commer
cial world at tills pciiod, a short supply of
tlio precious metals cannot bo urged us ono of
them.
As tu Mr. Wilhelm's coinage figures, little
need besaid about them. These aro common
property and can be found in the Mint
reports. The essential point is, how much of
this coiuagu lcinaiucd in circulation? Mr.
Wilhelm gives tho largo .coinage of 1851.
He might have added tho still heavy coinage
of 1852 of $50,810,187.50. Hut docs Mr. Wil
helm suppose that any such enormous coin
age could be yearly added to tho circulation
of the Culled Mates and retained In circula
tion, with the population and trado condi
tions then existing? We run lmaglno no
sort of legislation that could have pioduced
such a it-Milt. The inevitable result of such
an addition to our circulation would havo
been to raise prices, diminish exports, in
crease imports, create a balance of trade
against u, and this, with or without a Wal
ker tarilf. This tendency would continue
until our proper share of the world's money
leuiaincd with us. We piesumu Mr. Wil
helm tu be familiar with the natural law. of
tho distribution of metallic money. We
refer him to Francis A. Walker's very com
prohensivo work, ".Money," chapter three.
Under theo conditions any array of figuies
as to coinage fur this periisl is useles-, un
less considered ill relation to general trade
conditions and tho foreign exchanges. During
the whole puriod undur consideration we
wero producing mmo gold tbun e lould use
either as monoy or in the arts. Our gold
left us too much of it loft. The fault was i
our.-,: a vicious system of statu lu.uk circula-
tiun being one of the piimu causes. .
We nun- come to the consideration of Mr.
Wllhelm'i stuteinent that there was!
$150,000,000 of foreign euin damoiiotlfed by
tho Act of 1837. We asked Mr. Wilhelm for
his authority for this statement. We gave
1 1 1 in space in our columns fur that purpose.
Mr. Wilhelm ihwjk as an expert, and we had
no doubt that he would be able to furnisli us
with trustworthy authorities. He status that
the extieinely conservative writers on the
tiucr side plac the figure at $100,000.000 ;
tbo.o who aro not so conservative pltue tho
llgui-esat jK,0lKI,()(XI. No one can mathem
atically state the exact amount of foreign
coin that was hulng ukI imi legal lender
money in this country. Tho Act destroying
the legal tender quality covered the coins of
I'uru, !olivia, Aloxiooand Siwin."
We would have been better satisfied If Mr.
Wilhehu had named 'tliuw "extremely con
Mirvutive writers" who placed the figures lit
$100,000,000, also those "uot so couicrvative"
coinage of cither metal.
this $150,000,000 is a nieio guess, and a very
foolish guess at that. I
In this connection Mr. Wilhelm has tho I
following statement: "The total culnngoofj
silver in tho United States up to 1857 was;
about $110,000,0011. I get thue llguies from
tlio icport of Hun. .1. It. Snowden, Diiectorl
of the Mint for the year 1S3S." This is n
ery incut discovery of Mr. Wilhelm's. Any
body who cares to take the trouble of footing
up the columns can get those figures from
any "mint rcpuil" for any recent year. Wo
can i,how him a docn of them, but what has
this to do with our i (intention ? Our conten
tion is about fotcign coiii, not Amoricuu coin.
Wu presume that Mr. Wilhelm intends the
reader to infer that this $110,000,000 in silver
was in circulation dining those years. He
will find all this m "Coin" Harvey, too, hut
every student of the subject knows very well
that this was not the case. About the only
portion of this $1 10,000,000 in circulation
during the period under cuiifidcration was
the light weight subsidiary silver provided
for by tho Act of 1853, about which -Mr.
Wilhelm has nothing to say.
