UUIjIJION AND COIX VALUES. A CORRESPONDENT living in the south part of the county criticises a paragraph in the JOURNAL in which it was practically illustrated by the Mexican dollar what free coinage would mean in the United States. Omitting much of the letter which has nothing to do with the question he makes the following dogmatic statement:
If Mexico was as silly as our country and would pay a 100 cent gold dol lar for a 50 cent dollar the Mexican dollar would be worth its face, but if she did so she would be in same financial strait that this country is in—borrowing gold fifty to a hundred millions every three or four months in order to hold up such silly financiering. I admit that "under free and unlimited coinage" the value of any coin is always worth just what the bullion in it is worth, but I claim that under free coinage the coin value fixes the bullion value, and not the bullion value the coin value. For illustration: If you had 81,000 in silver bullion and had the privilege of taking it to the mint and having it coined you would be a great fool to take less than coin value for it. A thing is worth to you what it will bring in the market. If you had 81,000 in gold bullion the coin value would regulate the bullion value certainly. These are self-evident truths, and their truthfulness had been verified in this country for 81 years under free coinage. To the proposition that under free coinage of gold "the gold uollar is worth just what the bullion is worth, no more no less," THE JOURNAL has mistaken the conclusion for the predicate. In place of the gold coin being worth just what the bullion is •worth, the bullion is worth just what the coin is worth. In other words the government extending the constitutional right of free coinage to gold and silver, fixing the weights and value ^thereof."
It is a popular error of free coinage people, and other advocates of fiat money, that the government stamp makes the money perfectly good. This false idea is at the bottom of moBt inflation theories. If this were true the stamp of the Mexican government ought to be sufficient to keep the
dollar of that country on a parity with its gold. That country has free and unlimited coinage at a ratio of 1G}£ to 1, and yet its dollars are worth both at home and abroad but their bullion value. That government has no pledge or promise to maintain the parity of the two metals. In that our correspondent thinks that Mexico is not "silly." On the other hand the American government has affirmed the policy and enacted this policy into law which makes its silver dollar interchangeable with its gold dollar. But for the confidence the world had in the promises and integrity of the government our coined silver, paper silver certificates and all other forms of paper money dependent on gold for its full facc value, would have been depreciated to the level of the commercial value of silver. To say that the coin value fixes the bullion value is absurdly untrue. It is contrary to the teachings of Robert Morris, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jeft'erson and all the statesmen from that day to this Alexander Hamilton, the greatest financier that this country has ever produced, said: "There is scarcely any point in the economy of national affairs of greater moment than the uniform preservation of the intrinsic value of the money unit. On this the security and steady value of property essentially depends." Jefferson's idea was that the ratio between gold and silver coins should be in harmony with the intrinsic value of these metals throughout the world. He wrote: "Just principles will lead us to dis-. regard legal proportions altogether to inquire into the market price in the several countries and take an average from them." These statesmen fixed the ratio at 15 to 1. Experience proved that gold was too high and silver too low. The ratio was then changed to 1C to 1. If they had fallen in with the idea that the coin value fixed the bullion value they would not have been so tenacious concerning the commercial or market value. It has been left for the modern day school of financiers to discover that the stamp of the government on the coin fixes the bullion value.
BRYAN'S Chicago platform asserts that the present financial system has been a bar to the Nation's prosperity, and caused all the hard times. What are the facts'? Right after the war the statesmen in power began the work of rebuilding. The statistics show that in 1ST0 there was 81,700,000,000 invested in manufactures in the United States in 1890 this sum had increased to S6,200,000,000. In 1870 the number of employes in these establishments was 2,000,000 in 1890 it was 4,500,000. The amount of wages paid to these bread-winners in 1S70 -was 8020,000,000 an average of $310 per annum per head in 1890 it was 82,200,000,000, an average of $4S9 per head. The total value of manufactured products in 1870 was 83.400,000,000: in 1S90 it was 89,000,000,000.
FOR some time garbled extracts from a speech made by Mr. Blaine in the Senate in 1S7S have been circulated by silverite organs and orators with the idea of showing that Mr. Blaine was in favor of free silver, and that if living to-day he would be a supporter of Bryan. A reading of the speech in full shows that it is susceptible of no such interpretation, but that it is, in fact, a convincing argument against the free coinage of silver by the United States at 10 to 1. In view of these facts, the Republican executive committee has wisely decided to print Mr. Blaine's speech in full and give it a wide circulation.
Free silver is tree trade in its most violent form. It means the coinage not only of ali native silver, but also the unrestricted importation of the discarded silver of the world. It would mean the reopening of all the abandoned mines under the sun, with the American mints as the dumping ground for their product.
Many patriotic Democrats who can not consistently support Major McKinley as a Republican will gladly vote for him as an American. The foremost principle among those he represents is that the national honor must bo protected against enemies from within as well as against foemen from without.
Costa Rica is sick of silver. The United States will be sicker if it yields to its false glitter. If too much of a good thing is bad, and a bad thing is never good, then a thing which is half bad and half good should be let alone so long as we can have that which is all good.
We have a notion that the 4,500,000 depositors in the savings institutions of the country constitute the balance of power. Desiring to get out of the banks as long a dollar as they put in, these depositors will vote for McKinley.
Silver Democrats have not yet explained how they are to get hold of the markets of the world with free trade while ignoring other nations in scaling down the dollar one half.
Gold Democrats are free to support McKinley without the indorsement of him by a new national convention. He is the only sound money candidate in sight, or likely to be.
AN APPEAL TO EE A80N
WAGE EARNERS CANNOT AFFORD TO ENCOURAGE FREE SILVER.
"If Fifty Cents Will Buy as Much as a Dollar, What Is the Use or
Matting
Fitty Cents Juto a Dollar"—A l'iain Sermon lor Thoughtful Minds.
[Baltimore Sun (Dem.)]
The Sun has always tried to be and has been the paper of what Mr. Lincoln called the plain people—the people who constitute the bone and sinew of the country in peace, and who, in time of war, stand in the ranks and pay with their bodies. For this reason The Sun has, through its long career, opposed persons and political parties who endeavor in nation, state and municipality, to use the government for class or individual emolument.
The Sun cannot see that those conditions are to any large extent the product of the demonetization of silver in 1873, or that any adequate remedy can be found in its remonetization. On the contrary, it can but believe that the remonetization of silver on the ratio proposed will aggravate rather than mitigate the evils on which A+C have fallen.
Conceding for the argument all that is claimed by the silverites as to the effect of the "crime of 1873" in demonetizing silver, and that its remonetization will bring silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 to a parity with gold, where is the benefit to the salaried man and the wageearner in town or country? Conceding that prices will then be advanced, is there any advantage in this to these classes? Are they not interested in low prices and not in high prices? Is not the same to almost an equal degree true of the farmer? The use of money is to buy. If 60 cents will bnv as much as $1, what is the use of making the 50 cents into $1?
We are now looking at the economic effect of such legislation on the laboring man, and we confess we cannot see how any wage-earner or salaried man can discover any good for himself in the remonetization of .silver at 16 to 1. "We cannot see this if all follows that its friends claim will follow. But suppose it does not, and we believe it will not. Then wages and salaries will be paid in depreciated money, and by the enhancement of prices the purchasing power of these depreciated wages will be further reduced. We can see no other result for the wage-earner and salaried man.
An artificial stimulus to business from the apparent rise in prices following such legislation would work itself out in a short time. "When prices have been adjusted to the new money this stimulus would cease to exist and the situation would be wages not raised or, if raised, not rateably raised, and their purchasing power diminished. For the wage-eiirner this is all that we can see in the remonetization of silver at 16 to 1.
Believing this, we believe that we stand by the plain people when we resist this remonetization, and all the statistics and figures about the quantity of gold and silver in the world and the quantity of currency needed in this country do not conceal from our view this plain result of the remonetization of silver at 16 to 1.
Turning to the moral aspects of the question we believe that all men everywhere, and the plain people especially, are interested in the maintenance of the right. Here, again, if we concede that the "crime of 1873" was an immoral act in imposing on debtors burdens greater than they had assumed, how does the remonetization of silver and the cheapening of money at this time correct that act? That was nearly a generation ago. Most of the persons who participated in that "crime" are now dead. Senator Stewart is one of the few survivors. The debtors and creditors of that day are notthe debtors and creditors of today. The vast mass of private obligations now existing have been incurred since that time, and indeed, within a few years. The corporation, national, state and municipal bonds then outstanding have, to an incalculable extent, passed into the hands of new purchasers, who paid gold value for them, and those since issued have been purchased at gold values.
Is it not crude and immoral and an act of bad faith to legislate for the payment of all debts in depreciated money? If, as some silverites contend, money wall not be depreciated by remonetization of silver at 16 to 1, the debtor and .creditor will stand in the same position they did before, and, so far as their relations are concerned, this whole agitation and the proposed legislation are for nothing. We are to go through the fire and come out where we went in.
To see the Democratic party in its platform abandon the cause of the plain man, the salaried man and the wageearner and abandon tne cause of individual, corporate, national, state and municipal good faith is a source of unmeasured regret to The Sun. But The Sun will not be deterred by this or anything else from advocating what it believes to be for the general public good. It will continue to stand by the plain man, the salaried man, the wageearners and the farmer, even to the extent of fighting what it believes to be his delusions. It will try to protect him from himself as well as from his other enemies.
