CARLISLE’S ADDRESS. Secretary of the Treasury Talks Money to Workingmen. y .' . Chicago's Great Auditorium Crowded with People Eager to Hear the View* of the Adni in titration’s Representative on —U*— Currency and Finances. '*? ,T. Chicago, April Jd. —Every one of the 5,000 ■eats jp Chicago’s great Auditorium was filled Wednesday night with people who came' to hear the address of Secretary Carlisle on‘currency and finance. Several hundred people stood through the entire address and several hundred more went away, being unable to gain admittance. The stage was occupied by about 200 officers of Chicago trades and labor assemblies, at whose invitation Mr. Carlisle came to M. J. Carroll, editor of the Eight-Hour Herald, presided, g Mr. Carroll said it was the desire of the laboring people of Chicago to hear some plain, intelligent tguths regarding the currency question, and that the secretary of the United States treasury had been selected as the most fit person for giving the information wanted. He referred to the late Horr-Harvey debate on the silver question, and said that nothing had been learned fronwit, and that the labor people were still undecided as tq whether silver could be coined free without detriment to the credit and financial standing of the country. He then introduced Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle called attention to the fact that the workingmen, more than all others, should insist upon a policy that Will preserve the value and stability of all our currency and promote the profitable conduct of our industrial enterprises, for it is his home and his family that will suffer from the effects of . a cheap currency that will increase the price of commodities more than the wealthy capitalist. A poor man has nothing to dispose of but his labor, and nothing with which to support himself or his family but his wages or the proceeds o/ his own labor. Any policy that even temporarily suspends or obstructs the industrial progress, by diminishing the demand for the products of labor, must be injurious to his interests and inflict suffering upon all who depend upon him. Whether we shall or shall not have a long period of financial, commercial and Industrial, depression in this country is a Suestion directly and necessarily involved i the demand now seriously made by many of our fellow-citizens that the United States, without the cooperation of any other government In the world, shall authorize the free and unlimited coinage of full legal tender silver at the ratio of sixteen to one, notwithstanding the true market ratio between the two metals i3 about thirty to one. The naked propositlen is that the United States shall coin, at the public expense, for the exclusive benefit of the individuals and corporations owning the bullion, all the silver that may be presented at the mints into dollars containing 37114 grains of pure silver, or 412 , / i grains of standard silver, worth intrinsically about 51 or 52 cents, deliver the coins to the depositors of the bullion and compel all, the other people in the country to receive thes coins at a valuation of 100 cents each in of debts due them. Its immediate effect would be to contract our currency to the extent of about $620.000,000 by stopping the use of gold as money and putting a premium upon gold coins about equal to the difference between the Intrinsic value of the gold dollar and the Intrinsic value of the silver dollar. Gold coins Would at once become a commodity and would be bought and sold by speculators In the market. It would cease to be used as money, because no man would pay In gold, or in paper redeemable in gold, worth 100 cents, when the law permitted him to pay it in silver, worth only 51 or 52 cents on the dollar. The expulsion of $620,000,000 would itself be sufficient to create a financial disturbance unparalleled in history. But not only would our currency be reduced to two-thirds its present volume, this tifat Vfas left would be so depreciated In value that It would require about twice as much as we now have to transact the business of the country, provided there should be any business to transact After struggling for more than a quarter of a century, through labor organizations. and otherwise, to secure a rate of wages which would make the proceeds of a day’s work equal the cost of a day’s subsistence for the workingman and hi* family, you are asked by the advocates of free coinage to Join them in destroying one-half the purchasing power of the money In which you are paid and lmpoqp upon the task of doubling the nominal amount of your wages hereafter; that is. to struggle for another quarter of a century, ojr perhaps longer, to raise your wages in a depreciated currency to a point which will enable you to purchase With them as much of the necessaries of life as yqji can purchase now; and if, after years of contention, privation and Industrie disorder, you should at last succeed In so adjusting wages that you would procure af the higher prices of commodities Just what they will procure now at the existing prices, what would you have gained by the change from the old to the new conditions? If the solution of this question affected only the character and amount and purchasing power of tha future earnings of the American laborer, it would still he a subject of the gravest Importance to him; but its Importance is greatly increased by the fact that tho safety and value of a very considerable part of his past earnings are also involved. The banks, trust companies, building associations and other similar Institutions, owe the people of the United States to-day $6,863,183,621 for money acuallv deposited, a sum nearly eight times greater than the total capital of the national banks in tlie country; while the IKo insurance policies held by the people in the various kinds of corporations and associations and In fi.ce to-day amount to $10,203,804,357, a larger sum (han has been actually invested in all our rallrtmds and about 15 times larger than the cafpltal of all tho national banks. In view of these facts, which cannot he successfully disputed, I submit that you ot%ht, seriously to consider all the eonsequetsvces to yourselves and your fellowcitizens before you.agree to the free £Kid unlimited colnag# 9i legal tender'Hsfer at a ratio of sixteen to one. In order that these great corporations and associations niay have the privilege of discharging their debts to the people by paying 51 to 52 cents on the dollar, for that Is exactly what It means. But if free and unlimited coinage of legal tender silver at the ratio of sixteen to One is established in this country, a very large part of the money deposited in these various kinds of savings institutions will not even l>e repaid in depreciated silver, but will be wholly lost. Decause such a reckless monetary sys.em would precipitate a financial panic, which very few, if anv, of tlie depositories could survive. 1 doubt 4f there Is a single financial institution In the couißry that could sustain the pressure that would he immediately made upon It by Its depositors and other creditors, when It became apparent that our standard of value was to be lowered and our currency depreciated by free coinage. Less than three years ago you saw our financial, coqimereial and industrial affairs violently disturbed by the fear that the government would not be able to maintain gold payments, and that our currency •wourd descend to a silver basis. If a mere doubt as to the kind of money we Intended to use produced these distressing results, what think you would be the probable consequences of a deliberate determination upon tfic part of our people to adopt silver rtionometalllsm as a permanent system? The greatest crime short of absolute political enslavement that could be committed against the workingman In this country would be to confiscate his labor for the benefit of the employer by destroying the value of the money in which his wages are paid; but*.gentlemen, this Irreparable wrong can never be perpetuated under our system of government unless the laboring man himself assists in forging hta own chains. 7 . ■ , National Congress of Religions Education.
