ON THE FREE COINAGE OF SILTER. Hon E. W. Klttnifi Furnishes Some Interesting and undeniable Facts •a the aiwr QaWOaa. No reliauce can be placed in the discussion of au economic question upon pure prophecy. If it wa6 inspired, indeed the case would be different, but nothing short of a miracle can evidence inspiration. We bare had prophecy enough in place of argument, and while the language of the prophets has all the confidence of inspiration, every other evidence of iuspired character, is wofully wanting. When the act of 1878 was pending, there was no lack of warning Irotu the concentrated voice of all t lie authorities of mono-metalism that the act provided for a debased currency that would speedily drive the gold coin out of the country, and bring all our commercial credit ainoug the nations of the world to disaster and dishonor. Again, when the act of July 14, 1890, was passed, providing for the increased coiuage'of silver, the overwhelming majority of the Republican party in Congress and in the country opposed it, and denounced it in milder, but j^et in similar terms, to those applied to the aot of 1878. Scarcely eight months have elapsed, however, whou we have a Secretary of the Treasury who says he is satisfied with the law, and who is in accord with President Harrison in approving it. The evidences are accumulating that before the end ol his administration the act will be boasted by the Republican organs as the great financial measure of the party while it had control of every department of the Government. Secretary Foster, indeed, caii not be justly charged with any incosistency or change of heart, for he Toted lor free coinage in 1878, and lias never opposed either of these great steps that have siuce been taken toward accomplishing it. No more gratifying evi deuce of the progress of the sentiment in fator of free coinage could be given than his appointment, and the adoption of the act of 1890 as their own by the Republican party.

The decliue in (lie gold price oi substantially all commodities since the demonetization of silver commenced has taken the place concurrently with the diminishing production of gold, au increasing demand for it iu the arts, with a vastly increasing aggregate of transactions requiring the use of money, and with a withdrawal of silver from coinage and largely from its use as money by the cheif commercial natious of Europe, as well as by this country. This decline in prices has not been conflued to one count ry or to a few products. It has been constant, general and extended all over the world. The question is whether this decline has been in a large degree duo tci the increasing scarcitv of gold, in view of the iucrcased uses which it has been required to perform as money. The advocates of Jlie gold staudard insist that decline of prices is all due to inventions and other improved menus, cheapening the cost of production,^aud to the increased facilities of transportation. No one can or will deny that these agencies had much to do with lowering prices. Do they exclude tho increasing scarcity of gold as an important factor iu producing this decline? Certainly, it will at once occur to any oue upon the least reflection that if, during this same period, there had been a like improvement of the means of producing gold or the supply had been increased, either by the discovery of uew mines or the greator productiveness of the old ones, and thereby a cheapening of its cost of production in the labor expended upon it had taken place, accompanied by an iucrcased amouut of production of gold proportionate to the average increase in the production of all other commodities, then there could have been no such general decline of prices as has taken place. If we can Imagine the aggregate supply of gold to remain constant, for any giveu period, that is to say, that uolhiug was added to it by production, and nothing abstracted from it by wear or waste, than its appreciation or depreciation, ot uses to which it was supplied. If, for example, the quantity used by deutists was doubled, this would necessarily appreciate its value. If, on the other hand, dentists used some other substance in place of gold, and wholly discontinued its use, that would in a like manuer, depreciate its value. If, uow, its use as money is increased by the increased production of commodities, and the increased number and amounts of the transactions in which it serves as a medium of exchange, it will necessarily appreciate iu value, and other commodities would decline in the prices as measured by gold. But if the production of gold could be increased by the same agencies that increase the production of other commodities, aud iu the same ratio, its relative value would remain couatant, and the prices of other commodities, measured in gold, would neither advance nor decline, When, therefore we have a

^uilt'iai UOIIIIIIO Iiuuwgnuui uiv nvmu in the prices of other commodities, as measured in gold, we know that cither tho supply of gold has not kept pace with the supply or other things, or the uses of gold hare been extended, or, more probubiy, both of these tilings hare combined to appreciate |ts value. There can be no such thing us has actually occurred, lowil: a general decliine ot prices, without the existence of ono or both of these causes. Looking at the history of gold in colineetlbu with the history of other commodities for the last quarter of a century, since onr civil war we find that inventions and improved methods have not materially lessoned the

labor required for its production. Its transportation has relatively always been an insignificant element iu its cost, so that Increased facilities of transportation hare not affected it. No considerable discoveries of^new mines have been made, aud the old ones have proved less productive. The inevitable consequence has been that since the quantity of gold produced has beeu diminishing, while the quautity of nearly all other commodities has beon Increasing, relative value has appreciated. , Let us look at the particqlars of this process for a moment. The average annual production of gold is ascertained with reasonable accuracy by the Director of the Mint. I do not wish to quote tables nor repeat figures, but it may be stated in rouud figures that the annual production of gold is now about $100,000,000, and this production has declined uniformly and steadily about 135,000,000 iu tho last twenty-five years. It is quite impossible in this article to contrast this with the increased production of other commodities, but if any one will read David A. Welles’ account of such increase, he will be filled with admiration and wonder at it, although he has himself witnessed it. Again, of the $100,000,000 of gold now annually produced, the best estimates find that at least $80,000,000 is used in the arts aud in dentistry, leaving not over *15,000,000 to $25,000,000 to be used to add tp the coinage aud supply the waste of the entire world. I’m aware that estimates differ as to the amount of the annual production of gold used in the arts, but whether that which 1 have quoted is accurate or not does not materially affect the argument deduced lrom it. This use of gold for other purposes than coinage has been steadily and largely increasing during the period in which the production of gold has been as steadily decreasing, aud during this period the attempt was in progress of making gold the sole standaid of value and of transferring to it the functions of money that had been heretofore performed by silver. Obviously, these facts iu themselves fniMkiah » ftiiffimnnt. oansfi for the ao>

predation of gold in its relation to other commodities. The increased use of credit in the form of checks or otherwise, has, to a large extent, sup* plied the place ot actual mouey. in commercial transactions. But not only the number and magnitude of commercial transactions hare wonderfully increased with the increased iflcansof protections and improved methods of tnBfeportation, but in like planner the increase in the number of the transactions made through the medium of money has been equally great. If this substitution of credit to perform some of the uses that were performed by money in making exchanges had not taken place, the supply of both gold and silver would have long since proved totally inadequate for the world’s currency. If this substitution effect* the relative value of gold it ought to be to diminish, not to increase it. It has diminished the demand for gold in these transactions where credit in the form of checks took its place, To diminish the demand for gold necessarily tended to diminish its relative value. But despite of this resource, gold has appreciated, and other commodities, measured by it, have declined in price. We can not escape the conclusion that the decline in prices is the direct consequeuce of the diminished producteon of gold aud the demonetization of silver. It is exceedingly difficult to estimate the extent of this general decline iu prices. A most temperate and conservative, aud for that reason a most reliable consideration of this question is given by Mr. Edgeworth of Klug’s College London, iu the Quarterly Journal of Economics for 1889. Ilis conclusion was that at that time there had been througout the civilized world a decrease in the supply of gold for money in relation to the work it had to perform: and that ttiis decrease fairly represented a decline of prices, operating upon all goods whatever, of 20 per cent, in a period Of twenty years. Most bimetallists would place it at a much larger figure. The causes of ttiis decline, except so far as legislation has provided for the freer use of silver: as money, rernaiu unchanged. It is not in the nature of prophecy, therefore, to expect that the effect which has followed will continue to follow, and that the decline in prices will continue year after year until a changed condition gives opportunity for a change in the result. What does 'this decline in prices signify to the community at large? It has been said that it affects the debtor class by increasing the purchasing power of the money in which they are required to pay accruing interest and maturing principal. The city of Cincinnati, for instance, borrowed twenty years ago $18,000,000 to build its Southern Railway. The interest that it pays upon that loan has appreciated 20 per ceut in the purchasing power of the gold in which it Is payable. The muncipal Staff, National and corporate loaus of this character represent an immense part of the accummulated wealth of the community. The effect of this state of affairs reaches every individual, just as it reaches every taxpayer in the city when the 7.3 interest upon its bonds is increased by 50 per cent, of the amount of it by the appreciate of the money iu which it is to be paid.

Uut tins is not an. J&veryt merchant who carries a stock of goods must suffer an annual decline of 1 per rent Of its value. This does not necessarily mean that his business is unprofitable, or that ho is tending toward bankruptcy; but undoubtedly the difference between 1 per cent, of decline and 1 per cent, of advance in the aggregate valuer of Its tangible

property makes the difference between success and failure to a large portion of the community. And accordingly, periods of decline in values arc always periods of depression and disaster, just as certainly as periods of advance in values are periods of prosperity. Iu like manner every manufacturer or laborer, whose compensation comes from selling the product of his labor, finds its value shrinking but by a small and constant increment from an unknown and unappreciated, yet ever present cause, from which he is powerless to protect himself. Correspondingly the class which lives upon the fixed income from accumulated investments and the class which receive fixed salaries are steadily benefited by this appreciation in the increased value of the money in which they are paid. It may be argued that the loss to the one class is equaled by the benefit of the other. I by no means concede that this is the case, but if it were it would not affect the argument. The eheif duty of government in connection with money is to secure so far as it is possible a measure that will be the same when obligations are to be met that oxisted when they are created. ThiB is accomplished when the purchasing power of the money continues the same, neither greater or less, from the creation to the peformances of the obligation. That is equiiy, and equity is of the essence of commercial prosperity. To this as being of the same nature, should be added that to secure the end in view the money at the place of performance should be of the same character as the money at the place of the creation of the obligation. The ideal money for the world would be that which at all times and at all places maintained a constant relation or power of purchasing the aggregate oi other commodities. While we may not aitaiu the ideal, that which approaches it nearest may be accepted as the best. The great feature of a bimetallic currency is that it goes tar to secure this stability of relation. Gold and silver are the natural money of the world. Their cheif feature in respect to this stability of relation is that their accumulated mass is so great that increments of variation in an

II uill syppiv am* uciuouu uu uvi *»«« terially disturb this relation; just as the Isvel of a larg body of water is not materially disturbed by the fluctuation in the annual rain fall. Cau we not recognize in the decline of prices measured in gold that it alone has not aflTorded this stability of relation ? And is it not evident that the accumulated mass of gold and silver is double that of either metal? History has shown that the fluctuation in ^hpply in reference to the accumulated mass is less with both metals than with either. Discoveries ot gold have at one time threatened to flood the world, at auolher time the discoveries of silver have equally increased the supply beyond the average product. The relation to the aggregate mass of both has rarely been disturbed by a fluctuation in the supply of both during the same period. It is said that this very divergence or fluctuation at one time in the supply of gold, at another in the supply of silver reuders bimetallism impossible. Is that true? Let us take the history of the currency of France during the present century. For the first fifty years the supply of eilyer yras in quantity about forty times the supply of gold. The circulation of France, adjusted upon the ratio of one to fifteen and oue half, was cheiJly silver: gold gradually disappearing, without any financial crisis or catastrophe traceable to this cause. With tho discoveries of gold in California and Australia the relative production for twenty years 'vVas chauged, and the supply of silver in quantity was only about six times that ol gold. The ratio remained the samo and the circulation in France gradually changed from silver to gold. In five years 500,000, 000 of gold were added to their circulation, uud 250,000,000 in silver were withdrawn from it. Yet no financial crisis or catastrophe was thereby precipitated. The increase in the supply of gold caused a fall in the relative value. This put an end for a season to a demand for silver, aud created a demaud for gold to use as money in France. Taking away this demand tended to reduce the value of silver, as adding for the demand for gold tended to increase its value, or to diminish its fall. The result was that in tho language of an eminont French writer, “silver played toward gold the part of a parachute do moderate its desent.” The point I wish to make is that always the presence of two metals instead of one, at the material of our currency, divides the effect of a fluctuation in tho supply of either of them. And I may add that this, when accompanied by the reduction of the gold in circulation, which may bo exported and its replacement by silver, does not generally involve any financial disaster to the nation. We had iu tliifc country, according to tho Director of tho Mint, on (lie 1st day of July. 1890, in round figures in gold 1700,000,000 and $386,000,000 in silver, exclusive of the subsidiary coinage. If, in the progress of the remonetization of silver, all these ammounts are changed one for the other, it bodes no national disaster. E. W. Kittricdoe.

Why study Heredity? Because closely allied to our work, the whole Nation suffers from tobacco and alcholic heredity, and this factor in,the great problem can not safelv be disregarded. Because no incentive to temperance and purity ought to be stronger than the thought that if wild oats are sown by the father, his inocent children reap the fearful harvest. Mothers of children with a bad inheritance should study it for the hope that is iu it, since the iuheritauee of good is stronger than the inheritance of evil. s j/ The Bbight Side Of Heredity., The same law that makes it certain that iniquities shall be remembered to the third and fourth generation, makes it certain also that children shall be blessed by the full measure of good that impressed the lives and blood of their progenitors. Good is transmissible the same as evil, and evil no more than good. The act ual lives of purity in body, and miiid a nd spirit, possessed by the youth of Uhe generation now living aud developing, will determine the good qualities of that future generation which they shall bring into the world.

When we firs| openened our eyes on the stage of existence, we found intoxicating liquors recognized by everybody, Used by everybody, repudiated by nobody” “It commonly euteied into the first draught of the infant, and the last drought of the dying man.” “From the side board of the parson, down to the ragged pocket of the houseless loafer, it was constantly found. Physicians prescribed it. Government provided it for soldiers and sailors, and to have a rolling or raising, a busking or “hoe-down” anywhere obout without it, was posticely unsvfferable.” He speaks of the growth In public seatimeut from considering drunkenness as a misfortuue like disease etc. to considering it a disgrace, a crime, and says: “Whether or uot the world would be vastly benefited by a total and final banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks, seems to me uot now au open question.
