J , H , WALKER ON FREE COINAGE Ills Itrpty to ( Ifiirriil Ucnirr'n Aildrcts In ru\oror tluVliltu Mutnl fliu Con vincing Arsinni'iitx ot tliu Mas- The Chautauqua boll yesterday had n little o silvery r\nu \ In It than on the day before. Congressman Joseph H , Walker of Miwi- chusotts was the golden toiiRUctt orator to reply to ( .lanorat Weaver's appeal for frco liver , lie was closely logic il and spent Ittlo tlmo or talent In striving to merely 0:1- ortu'.n bis bearers. He said ho supposed hat n Chautuuqua audience wanted facts to hlnic about instead uf things to laugh nbsut. Mlhough his main effort was evidently to convince rather than convulse , some of the loluts wcro so sharply made , and some of hi liustrations so striking , nnd tome of his opponent fallacies put'in such a ridiculous tght , that tbo nudlonco expressed its on- hublasm in loud applause. Mr. Walker said : What product one man shall accept from another in exchange for n product ownoJ by ilm is wholly for him to decide. Thousands of attempts have been made to compel men o tuko ono coin rather than another , for their labor or goods , and by over" govorn- nent , enlh/.L'U and barbarous , that has over existed , but novtr once In the whole history of the world has It , been successful. Thu question of the advantage of the free nnd unlimited coinage of silver h not to bo tedded by froth and penllmcnt. It Is ono of fuel. Whether uny Ills have resulted fiom the demonetization ol silver Is ono of fact , nnd to bo proved , not , sentiment. Its solu tion is In knowing , 1'ro.t , the uses and relations of auy com what ever to tiiido nud commcrci" , and , secondly , to know the present commer cial relation , or r.itlo , of gold to silver , as computed with the past , aim why. Wo make no progress in Iho solution of present dilllcutties by simply ascertaining the condi tions of 100 jears neo , or of sixtv years ago , or oven of thirty years npo. For differences in boclal nnd economic coodltlons then und now are all Important. The means of trans porting and exchanging products , the means } f dividing nnd subdividing products into their smallest quantity and , still more , tbo means of tranblorrlng lac titles to the sumo from .one man to another these thing- " , which men never seem to consider , have muclo more progress nud been mot a changed in the last thirty years than in the previous lul ) yeais. This simply evidences tbo pro gress mauo in Christian clviliza ion. Against the forms of this progress , men of good inten tion and bad arc alike always unconsciously lighting. The progress made In monetary methods since the close of tbo Napoleonic wars of 181- and 1815 in eighty years as in all departments of civilisation is greater than In thu . " > ! JO yean ptrcoJing , that period and in the last thirty voars many limes moro than In the previous fifty years , Each of the latur periods shows n woiderful increase and development In tiMdo per cup.tu. I have never seen un estimate of trauo per c.iuita for the periods named , but 1 huvo no doubt but that , taking Uuropo and the United States , the annual trade In tbo Ilr. t half of the nineteenth century was lull fold more per capita than during the sovento nlh and eighteenth centuries , nnd thu exchange of nroducts P3r capita in the present half of the nineteenth century is 100 fold moro than in the liisl half of t us century. Truitu ! * KsHrntlally Itiirter. Again , it is equally certain that the pro portion of actual "barter trade"giving one product directly for another product in hand during the seventeenth und eighteenth centuries was u hundred fold more than In the lirst half of ttio nineteenth century , nnd it is certain thai today nearly nil trade is es sentially bailer , or to a hunuroj fold greater extent , as to the whole volume of tiade , than it WRS ftftv years ago Up to the Napol eonic wars com \vm scarcely in common use anywhere. 1C was the universal custom to board It. All wealth wa * only In lands used exclusively by their owners , clothing cqui- page nnd in coin. After Napolc n , coin was far moro freely used as monov up to the time greater honesty admitted of the common use of paper orders for product or for coin , called currency money. I mean to include in the term paper money , bank notes , chocks , drafts , liilU of exchange , etc. Every piece of paper used for money is barter , essentially. CoUi is the only actual money. It is now conceded that ull trade Is , and must finally DO , the "exchango of pro duct for product. " No ono wants coin as such. TUoio is no use for it , excepting to cxchaugo it for another product. Paper money is moro convenient , tbeiefoic all man nro now moro willing to inWo any product they dnsiro than to tuUe com , if thu pioJuct desired is at hand , or if nut , to tuuo paper orders for It , culled money , to get the product when needed. Tno ItiUl'ne of iictual money ( coin ) for n product is noujscnrcclv ; Unown. The taking of paper money for a product is tlio tailing by thu belter of an order for another pro-lueo on another seller. The paper inonuy simply expresses the coin vnluo of the thing bold und enables the Eollur to delay gutting the prouuct ho desires - sires of another seller to a future time , at which lime ho dclivet.s the paper to the .other boiler , und ho in luru to another , and bo on. ( iotil U lint Nrrvi ! of Tr.ulv. As Christian civilization has advanced , tlio giving of actual mouoy ( coin ) for a pro duct has practically disappeared. The practical use of coin Is now aluiobt wholly to "IIJOHEUIO value , " nud It is lust taking thu position of n "inoasuro of value" onlv. and that , by means of being used for the "cur- icnt redemption" of paper money in bank. Modern trade would not bo possible- were this not the ( act. Neither would It bo possi ble , had not honesty taken thu place of dis honesty and con'ldonceof ' suspicion , faith of doubt. Coin never could have increased as fast as trade has uoxoloped. Gold is now tbo nerve of trade und paper money lib circulat ing life-blood. Again , wo cannot understand the present monetary condition without giving our atten tion bomuwhut to the social , political mid transportation conditions of the past nud present. Sixty yean ago the Hailing vessel , loading ut DO-.UHI for Liverpool , had n man aboard culled "supercargo , " wbobu duty it w as tu boll its cargo nnd buy a return cargo. Bulling to Canton with its cargo , it took f 1,000 to $ JOIXU ) or more , in coin , it its pro posed return carco was moro _ v iluablo than its outgoing cargo. The round trip being six months , it took that tlmo to return this coin 13 thu channels of trado. Allow ing bix hours to a business day , and MX months for tbo voyage of the ship , It comes out as follows : It now takes live minutes to transfer a coin cicdil from a bank in Iloston to a bank in Canton. There- lore each fl.OJU in coin toaav iu the Chum traUo has 111,000 times the commercial powei ! t hud bixlv years ago. That is to Buy , any irlvon SI.UJO ran now bo effectively used 1U.OOO times , where It could then bo Ubcdunly once alxtvyoats ago. It Is therefore tbo equivalent , in the world's commerce , ol nuulnc f IK , 000,000 to the coiuace of the work for every $1,0JO of coin In existence , were wo In the suuiu condition of sixty years uro. Sixty years ago thirty days wus the < shorteai tliiu ) coin or u letter could go to and from St. Louis. It now tnboj ono minute to transfer u coin credit from lo > tou to tit. Louis Thereforecueh f 1,000 in coin today , In that tladu , < is 10,000 times us effective us ll was sixty yours ngo. Any given # IOJU can bo used 10,000 llmcH , where It could bo used only once sixty years ago. Coiiimt'rchil iili-rtlvcni-H : of Coin , TaUIni ; nil trade tbo world over , near or tuiuoto , the present cITeutivenest of coin n commerce must be mauy thousand times us effective by tbo use of the stcumship , the ruilrouu , the telegraph , the tulopbono und b > modern comuifrclul devices us it was blxty years ago. The commercial I'ffecllvonobH of auy given amount of cola has increased u thousand fold fuster thau trade bus Incroasoc Is why silver has depreciated. Gold is pre f erred , It having u more concrete vaije. This country now has In coined monov nbou > $ lU''XJ,000Oi ' > 0 , while tor tbo reason given o lemoned ucmund for coin our dally comiuurcia u Qit coin li onlv W,0ixil o. or 1'j ' per cent on our dully trade of * 100,000,000.

Seroi.d , nil so-called paper money , : hcckv drafts , bills of exchange , notes , or > utiK accounts that any ono hold * nro purely ind only titles to. or orders on , the property n the hands of other * . Third , there is only n given amount of properly or wealth lu tbo country , and it is impossible to increase it excepting in two ways , lirst , bv the Industry nnd frugality of our own people , or by morfl vealth bolng brought Into the country from abroad. The first method means advancing ndustrlul condition and civilization , the second end is changing the location of wealth , \iurth , this wealth is divided into uro- duullvo wealth and consumable wealth , or nixed , and coin. Coin bin the boncllcont [ tialltios of neither productive nor con sumable wealth , It being only n "meas ure of value. " Having no other useful innllty , keeping moro than n.Bufllclcncy of t is ultcr waste of capital. Thcro is in tbo country , as shown uy the last census , pro- luctivo und consumable woilth amounting tn .T.,000,000,000 , and of coin , wblcn is neither iroductlvo nor consumable , f 100,010,000 , n otal of fjd.200.000,000. It Is said the actual 'nluo of nil real and personal property is 0'.1,000,000,00\ ( for tbo purposes of this disciibslon wo will consider only Its assessed nluation. Now every dollar of this wealth s owned bv somebody , and the legal pro * urlptlon at least Is that each owner came loao-ttly by his property. ' . ' . It Is not comeivablo that any two per sons own the same wealth , ! l. If the titles so seem , ll only means that bojo persons hive not vet insisted on tbo division batwpon them of any given property ot to them jointly. InilUliliiul liiilohtcdncsi. 4. The Indebtedness of Individuals , solo uid corporate , to each other , publiu nnd pri- ale , is about $ .11,000,000JO ( ) , live billions nero than its total assessed valua- iou. This enormous indebtedness sim- > ly moans that property Is loaned from ono owner to another , nnd the same iroporty , reloaned ngnln nnd again , ns we tnort-It Is , iu fticU by our own observn'iou and exnciicncc. Uvory man can get to use , but volume of property which ho has proved 10 bus sutllcient skill , Industry nnd integrity to profitably use , and that nmlco ll reason ably certain Ihut ho will return U again , > lus thu ronlal ugrosd upon. This Is an evi dence of a faith in the average Integrity anil benevolence. In the enuntrv , nlmoit past comprehension. It is impossible lo increase weallh by making any papar so-called sc- curltioj , or by issuing paper money , or by addlnc ono dollar to our stock of coin , that can be dispensed with. All these things ncan robbery or was'c. It Is also i'upossiblo .o Justly eflc'ct the distribution of wealth by the issuing to any person or by the govern ment of moro pnpr money than is con vert ! bio on demand. It is only posblblo lo safely use a given amounl of paper money , low much can only bo known bycxpeiimcnt. 11 is also impossible to protltubly use moro than n civou amount of coin money. How much coin money can bo safely nuu protltably used , can only bo known by experiment. A sullicitmcy Is enouuh , as to botli paper and coin money , as In ovcry other known thing used by man. Mnto than is necessary is ab solutely waste , and as much so in coin ns in anv known thing. Furthermore , the volume needed nnd used in ono country is no Indication oven of tbo amount that cim he economically used in any other country. Of ttio millions coined in Mexico , only ? .

In trance , the cruel wars , the many violent changes ol dynasties and forma of government , has ingrained in tbo [ Vouch mind such n want of Lonliuenco in the Institutions of tlio country , excepting tbo financial promises of tvio govcinmcnt , that coin is moro largely used there than In any oilier highly civilised country.

Wonderful has boon the economic changes of the last few vcars , and all in the interest of ttio plain common people. Man is the true economic measure , expressed in wagoj , for un average day's work. Ho Is the primary measure of gold and sliver by his own economic worth , expressed in wares. In all Kngland Und Amctica , gold is conceded to have been the measure of vuluf. irrespective of coinage laws , for three quarters of a cen tury. Whether KOld has or has not changed in value iu thirty yours can only bo Known by lirsl knowing whether the average wace \vorker receives moro or less weight of gold , for an average daj'b ' work today than ho did thirty years ugo ; nun second , wbul volume of products thi ! wage worker can buy with the gold ho receives lor his duy's work , ns compared with thirty years ago. Lot mo say here thai what Is said of IbliO as com pared with Ib'JJ applies with greater force to IbTil as compared with Ib'.t ' : . ! . Il is certainly known , by investigations of tlio most reliable economists , that the weight nf gold actually paid , or Us equivalent , to wueo workers today , is from my , per cont.to y'J per cent greater than in I8'i0 ' or lt > T3. Tills conclusively shows that , ns measured by tlio efforts of an avcrago man , gold has fallen in Its price from It1 ! , , per cent to.'i'.l per cent. It is nlso Known that , taking the whole range of products consumed by small farmers and wauo workers , the average full iu prlco has been from - ' . " > per cent to , ' 13,10 per cent since IhT.I. An average daj's work pueht , there fore , now to buv about double of products it bought in ibftl. Bvcotnpaiiag price currents und wave lists of iMiO and lhT3 with those of Ib'.U ' we know il will now buy that much more. It Is ns certain ns anything can bo thut pro ducts woulil have advanced in prlro one- third bud labor advanced one-third , had not Inventions in machinorar.d , improved methods reduced thu time consumed by the wage worker in producing a unit of product , about oiio-half. It Is economically impossi ble for products to bo lois-mod since 1S711 to their pioicni prlco , while wugoi per hour huvo increased in priuo , excepting by im proving the machinery and methods of pro duction to the equivalent of tbo increased cosl per hour of labor , plus tbo sum of tlio reduction iu prlco uelow the former prlco of IbTJ. .MIsli < ! i < llllLr Atni'rtInni. Mui ! tips boon said of prlcns of agricul tural products measured in silver. This It very misleading ; llrst , because the average reduction in labor cost In days' work , of au- ricultural ptoJucts , tauen altogether , with the horse mower , reaper , tedder , rake , boo , potato dlegcr and Improvement in all oilier Implements , is fully ono half. Allowing 10 per cent for wear and tear on toots , added to Uio 50 per cent of cost , makes the cosl fr > per cent of that of IMiJ. There has been no 11 vo ynars period blnco 1WX ) that prices of agri cultural products have boon -n per ccnl lower that in any llvci preceding > oars that wcro not years of tbo Inflation nf the cur rency , while the cost of production has been 4.ri per cunt less , nnd whnl thu farmer buys , machinery , supplies , etc. , has decreased li prlco from " > per cent to 50 per cent since Ib7t. : Ib7t.The The free coinngo of silver , then , means and can mean nothing clso than a change ol our "measure of vuluu" from thu measure o ; value common to all highly civilized nations , to European nations and the United Stnto : und Canada for moro than half a century , und unuur which every existing debt wai contracted , to thut of Mexico , India and Cblnu , etc. School ixhllll. : Tbo schools have prepared an exhibit which will uo laid before the public in thu amphithouor tofluy.

[ Special to THE Bci : . ) Ttio weather prophet scorns thus far to have favotod iho Crete Cnautauqua ho- ynnd all expectation. The clear , blight dujs enjoyed Ibis year uio doubly appreci ated by Iho-iO who remombar the super-abundant rain , swollen river and impassable loads which marred the enjoyment , of last season's exercises. The second day opened beautifully nnd found the campers pionaied to make the Lest of tneir opportunities. Most of those on the ground managed to rise early enough to llnish breakfast and gel to the auditorium in tlmo for the devotional exercises scheduled for 7u : ; ! n. in. Thcso were conducted by President Scott , who teen his toxl from tbo llrsl chapter of Acts and spoku brietlv upon tbo ascension of Christ. This was followed by Iho class in chorus training under MM. 1' . V. M. Hoy- mono , which startled thu birds and llshes alone the Blue by n form ot musio unusual to thai locality. ' A second class was also conducted in thu afternoon. At 0 o'clock came the adult normal class , for which Kev. J. I ) . Stawart gave an ex position of ono phase of the life of Christ. The opening topio dealt with the thirty years' preparation and was illustrated by n blackboard syllabus. While this was going on .Miss Susfo 1 > , Uool was teaching n class of cbUdrun In Noimal hall. The Cbaulauqua Literary and Sci- entitle. Circle hour is fixed nt 10 a. m. and is to bo occupied dur ing tbo greater part of thu session by it'jv. Joseph T. Uur > ea of Omaha , who is to take up and itivlow the readings in history picscribod forthociirronl year. Dr. Dur.vca preluded bis roinarnn , .with a sketch of the oriL'in and growth of tup Cliautnnqua move ment. Hodid this , hq ad , in order to show that it was intended. Uf bo pra-ommontly un educational and religious institution not an Institution for popular , cmertultimonu. The western assemblies wpi' $ too prone to seek nttinetlvu and nonoy.ini | < ing luuturos to the detriment of their educational functions , The Crete usscmblyj/liuoiids to 0t back to the original purpose nijd for this reason has this year filled lt program lo a lurco extent with class exorcises a.nd.lecture . courses , In terspersed only bor4 Uid ) there with uu- dtojbcs by stellar personages. Dr. Duryoa then wont on to Impress upon his audience thu Importance ol history and oluborito.l of the ofl-ropeatod lhi'sH , f the later Prof , E. A. Freeman that nil history Is ono. To begin to study it wlioro ono may , ho will soon bo launched'mion ' universal history. The advantages of the ftudy of history were enumerated , particularly the fact that U torches Us the Ideas oilco Indulged in by men , but long slnco exploded , thus enabling us tc avoid rothroshln ? old straw. "As au Illus tration of this point , " ho said , ' all history touches that thu sumo persons cannot at the same tlmo couduct the imuiagumanl ot re ligion and politics. Tnls is ono reason why I favor the exclusion of women from the sutTnigo. Wo must have some one to kce ] up rolik'lon nnd this seems to bo the only wa > to keep women religious. " Dr. Duo oiv I i > scd un to bis special subjocl of the discovery of Amoilcu , which bo tracet with rumnrkublo Mull. Ho cmpbasl/cd tbo discovery as the outgrowth of thu whole European clvltuallon , giving particular credit to iho work of iho Mo.loins In leading tbo Europeans up to the point where dis covery and exploration became u possiblll'y. Tno hour from 11 to 1 was occupied by Mrs. Hoot In giving Instruction lo the > u who desire to make thu b st of their abilltl s in assisting atuuvotioncl txonlsus. Tan address of the day was that by Hov. Albert liuibnell of K' . Joseph upon the "Uutcb Cromwell.
