Tho free silver advocates say that it euiusod the aoclino which has since then taki u plitet* in tho price of silver, by les-
years to coin enougn snver aoliars to take the place of the gold coinage that would be driven out of circulation. If the government by Low. declare* • given quantity of metal nr anything eUe a dollar. do«tut that make It a dollar? It makes it a dollar in denomination but not in value. Value is not the name of a thing, but the worth of a thing. The government might declare that copper cents should pass as dollars, but that would simply mean a change of name. The new dollar would be worth no more than the old cent. In the constitution the power of congress "to coin money" is coupled with a clause enabling congress to “fix the standard of weights and measures" congress has a power to pass a law making a standard quart of what is now a pint, but would that make the new quart measure hold

compared with gold which was artificially appreciated by becoming the sole monetary standard. On the other hand, it is asserted that the true cause of the decline ii. the price of silver is the increase iu tho production of silver at a reduced cost. The facts bearing on the case are these: Silver has gradually declined from au average of $1,298 an ounce in 1878 to about 70 cents an ounce at the present
tima
The act of 1878 did not decrease the monetary use of silver. The coinage of silver dollars up to that time had been very limited, the total from the foundation of the government up to 1878 being only 8,045,888. Other silver coinage went on under tho act of 1878 largely increasing the total silver coinage. The following, taken from tho mint reports, shows the total amount of silver coinage for the years mentioned:

Feb. 28, 1878, an act was passed "to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character.” Under that act there were coined 878,166,798 silver dollars. Under the act of Feb. 19, 1887, for the recoining of the trade dollars, there was an additional coinage of 5,078,472 silver
dollars.
L: As silver still continued to bill in price, the passage of the act of July 14, 1890, was procured. It required the government to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month, which it was estimated would take care of the entire production of American mines. Under this law the government bought and withdrew from the market more silver bullion Ilian our mints could have handled, if tin y hud dono nothing but com silver dollars, s > that it provided a more extensive absorption of silver than would have been possible with free coinage. Benat r Jones of Nevada predicted that the law would advance silver to par with gold. A speculative movement iu which congressmen are said to have participated did carry the price of silver from $1.07 up to $1.16 an ounce before government purchase began. The price of silver under the operation of the law of 1890 was ns follows, the quotations being taken from the mint reports:

Why hare the prices ul all farm products declined store lH73 f lu accordance
with the decline of silver?
Where the price of farm products has declined, the facte as regards production are quite sufficient to account for it. In 1875 there were 26,381,512 acres of wheat cultivated iu this country; in 1891 there were 89,916,897, an increase of 60 per cent. The yield in 1875 was 292,186,(hX) bushels, a heavy increase over preceding years In 1891 the yield was *(11,780,000. Even last year, with a greatly reduced acreage and a partial crop failure, the yield was 467,100,000 bushels. The cultivated area of corn in the United States in 1871 was 84,091,187 acres; in 1891 it was 76,204,516; increase, 124 per cent. The yield of corn last year was more than double that of any year prior to 1876. Both the acreage and tho average annual yield of oats have doubled since 1871. Our cotton crop In 1894 was 50 per cent greater than in auv year prior
to 1887.
Under such circumstances a decline In gram and cotton values was inevitable. That decline has not, however, corresponded to the decline in silver, but has varied strictly according to the conditions of supply and demand. On March 8, 1898, a subcommittee of the senate committee on finance, representing both political parties and both sides of the currency question, made a report on the course of prices and wages in this country for a period of 52 years. The investigation was most thoroughly made and the servnes of tho most expert statisticians were employed, and the re pert was unanimous as to the statements of fact. Tables prepared by Labor Commissioner Wright, contained iu the report, give the following as tho average price of spring wheat in Chiqago and the average price of silver for the years named:
P!
cultivated mainly by hand labor, beef, pork, and many other articles, have risen $5 per cant since 1860. The products tif the farm have more value now in exchange for clothing, tools and household supplies, than iu 1878, or at
anv previous time.
Jte regards the wage worker, the movement of prices has been enormously beneficial to him. The senate committee’s tables show that while the average prices of 328 leading nmoles do- | clineu 8 per cent from 1860 to 1892, average wages have increased 00 per | cent since then. Since 1878 average prices have declined 30 per cent, and average wages have increased 12 per
1 cent.
Why have hml haul timed ever
•lore I9T9
It is not true that wo have had hard ! times ever since 1873. Great prosperity j followed the resumption of specie pay- j l ments and continued until the silver *■' agitation changed the prospect. Since then there has been increasing agitation and distrust, culminating iu the panic of 1893, since when we have hod hard
times.
How can tb«* tor fr^e tiilv«r
make liter*1 tin*'*?
Because contracts are made payable iu dollars, and the free silver agitation makes it uncertain whether a dollar means 23.82 grains of gold or 371‘4 grains of silver. That much gold is eoual in value to nearly twice that much silver, so that the chance of receiving a silver dollar for a gold dollar means a
; risk of pi issible loss of nearly 50 per

In 1877 wheat was higher than in 1878, although the silver bad declined 16 cents au ounce. During the period when tho coinage of silver dollars was altogether discontinued, the average price of wheat ranged at a dollar and upward. The great decline began iu 1878, when the government began to coin silver dollars at the rate of 2,000,000 a month. Wheat in 1860, when silver was $1.86}4, was slightly lower than wheat in 1889, when silver was 93 tj, and wheat in 1838 was $1.36, with silver at 94, and only S0‘u cents iu 1884 with silver at $1.11. Wheat rose iu 1879, 1881, 1885, 1887, 1888. and in 1891, not-
withstanding silver fell.
Cotton varied bob ire the war from cents in April, l->43, to 8 cents In 1848, 7}- s cents in 1849, 12 cents m 1850, 944 cents in 1852, 11 cents in 1858 and 1854, 104j cents in 1855 and 1856, 131 s cents in 1857, and 12 cents in 1859 and i860, at a period when the cotton seed was a waste product; and after the full reestablishment of southern industry, varied from 11 cents in 1879,11 h, cents in 1880, 12 cents in 1881, ll, 1 ^ cents iu 1882 and 1883, cents in I834, 10'%, cents in 1685, 9*5 cents iu 1880, lu 1 ^ cents in 1887 and 1838, lO'j cents in 1889, 11 cents in 1890, and 8‘i, cents in 1891—au average substantially the game in the

the jirioe went down to 8'j cents and 7*4 cents, almost exactly what it was in 1848 and 1849, and iu 1894 and 1895 wont abnormally low under the inliuenco of enormous crops; but in the post year it bus risen 25 pur cent over the

An important factor in the decline of prices at terminal markets since 1873 lias been the reduction In tnvnsportatiou charges. In 1875 the freight charge on a bushel of wheat sent by lake and canal from Chicago to Now York was about 11‘5 cents; iu 1894 it was less than 4 ^ cents.
