WE ARE THE LOSERS. Tk» Stiver rain* Cenntntea Troflt at Our Esyeat*. The United States is the latest producing country in the world, and. as nearly all commodities have fallen in money value since 1813. our loss has been greater than that cf any other country. Besides, some of onr greatest agriculture staples, notably wheat and cotton, must be sold in the European market in competition with like products of other countries, and it so happens that the chief of these competitors use silver money exclusively. In this connection it must be understood that, although several important nations hav? abandoned silver, there are still more than 800,000,000 people who use no other metal as money, except, of course, copper and brass in a small way. This vast body of human beings, putting forth an unceasing demand for silver. coupled with tho more irregular demands of the gold standard nations, has been sufficient to prevent any actual shrinkage in its value—that is to say. it has maintained itself sitle by aide with commodities. Measured in gold, silver and commodities have gono down together, so that an ounce of silver will exchange for about the same quantity of goods aa it would have done 22 years ago. From this it follows that in silver using countries prices have remained substantially unchanged. The East Indian grower sells wheat at the same average price per bushel as formerly. So with cotton and other things. Therefore as soon as gold began to rise in London it was to the advantage of the English importer to exchange gold far silver and make his purchases in silver using countries because he could buy the silver at a profit, and then with the silver thus obtained he could purchase, ounce for ounce, as many goods ae ever. This naturally stimulated the export of such products from those countries, and accordingly the exports of wheat from India to England have increased from almost nothing in 1873 to from 40.000,000 to 60.000,000 bushels annually at the present time# This naturally cut the price in London, but without raising it in India, In the latter country it merely stimulated production. That the war upon silver is dictated by g 4tltiugs wno desire to ooutrol the finances of the country for their own seliish ends, a species of piracy ail the more dangerous aud nefarious, because of the intentiou to legalize the infamy. • That the battle now on for the free and uulimited cotuage of silver is not ouiy wise as a financial theory, but involves tue perpetuity of the liberty of the people' aud of our free institutions. Keep it before the people that the battle now on for the free and unlimited cotuage. ot silver is a battle for the right aud wit! be fought out to the bitter end regat iless of consequences. .
