SPOILING BRYAN'S ASSERTIONS.
Mr. Uryrtn*H Weak Point In Ills Inability to I'rovo His Statements
In his spcech before the Democratic sound money convention it yr icuse Mr. Daniel Or. Griffij handled Hrytin without gloves. Tha following are some of his best hits:
The exactions of the capitalists to which the farmer is subjected under ova' present monetary systems are a theme in which Mr. Bryan especially revels, and to remedy which he proposes to waken all t!io slumbering passions of mankind, fco far as the farmer has a grievance—and his lot is a hard one— he is entitled to the relief and to the sympathy of his fellow workers. But in seeking a remedy lot him be careful he does not pursue a phantom and bring down on his own head worse ills than he now suffers. It can be readily verified by a eci'-'nltntion of authentic statistics that there never was a time under the free coinage of silver when the farmer was not compelled pay nil average rate of interest on farm mortgages at least 40 per cent higher than the average rate on similar securities during the pust five years, and, furthermore, that the fall in the rate of inter' est on farm mortgages since wo demonetized silver has kept pace with the fall in the price of agricultural products in the meantime, if any fair allowance is made for the enormous growth of agricultural areas under the impetus of railroad expansion and improved facilities for cultivation as compared with the growth of population.
He does not stop with this illustrative picture of tlio misfortunes which have overtaken the American citizen from the demonetization of silver, but draws another, equally illusive, of the corresponding profit of the English capital ists resulting from our alleged folly and mistake. But let us examine the facts instead of relying on empty phrases. The average rate of interest in Great Britain from 1851 to 1870, three years before wo ceaf:ed the free coinage of silver, was 4.3 per cent, while the average rate from 1870 down to 1890 had fallen to 3.7 per cent, thus showing that if the demonetization of silver was the result of a conspiracy of capitalists the penalty therefor has fallen as severely on themselves as on any one else.
But in order to escape conviction for advocating repudiation the choson champion of the free coinago of silver tells us that under the magic of his eloquence and a recommendation by congress G7 cents' worth of silver is to advance to $1.29, that 10 ounces of silver instead of 31 ounces, as is the case now, are to become worth an ounce of gold, and finally that the silver dollar he proposes to coin without a governmental pledge for its redemption or even a promise to maintain its parity is always, nevertheless, to be worth as much as a gold dollar. But ho left the state before he told us how that kind of a silver dollar can bo obtained any more easily than the present gold dollar. All the farmers who think they can make more cheese by putting water in the milk are anxiously awaiting his return and explanation. Why, there is hardly a lightning rod or Hungarian oatsfiold in Dutchess county which is not a mute witness of the folly of trustfulness in that kind of financiering. Whoever heard of a consumer being benefited by barely increasing the supply of a product if the producer maintained former prices therefor?
IT'S EASY TO HARK UP PRICES, BUT HARD TO RAISE WAGES.
I am as much opposed, to cheapening the American workingman and working woman as I am to cheapening the American dollar. ... If we go to a silver basis, the merchant can take care of himself. With a lead pencil he can mark up everything in his store to meet the new conditions.
But the wage earner cannot go to the pay roll and mark up his salary. The man who has $10 in a savings bank cannot go into the bank and mark it up to $20. The man who has put money into life insurance cannot mark up double the amount expressed in his policy. The pensioner cannot mark his $8 a month up to $16.—Ex-President Benjamin Harrison.
