money democrats have never faltered In
warning their countrymen of the dis
aster which would follow its retire
ment. "The truth is, the country is indebt
ed to the hard money democrats, of
whom Jackson was the chief, for the
gold standard. 1 could go on and show
how the net of 18.11 hud nn ciVect exact
ly opposite to that of 1870, how tinder
the operations of the same lntlc.ible
economic law gold went out of circula
tion under the one nnd silver under the
other, how congress In 18511, on account
of the retirement of silver, was forced
to coin it ns subsidiary money In order
to supply the people with small change,
and how the silver dollars ceased to tlow
from the mints nnd gold was coined In
great quantities. But this Is foreign to
my text.
"My purpose is to show that the nd
vocates of the Chicago platform have no
tight to conjure with the nnmc jf Au
drew Jackson. That platform had no
precedent in the history and traditions
It promises n
new dispensation in monetary science
never dreamed of In the philosophy of
its great leaders.
THE DRIFT TOWARD GOLD.
The silver democrats have been un
usually profuse this year in eulogies of
.TpflFfi"Hrn nrwl .Innknnn. Tlinv hnv nte
tempted to muko It appear to those' o the democratic purt.y.
with democratic instincts thnt it ha
been the regular thing for lOOyearsfor
democratic statesmen to champion sil
ver a nd chen p money. Jefferson's oppo
sition to cheap money nnd repudiation
of debts, nnd his advocacy of a coinage
ratio which should alwajsbekcptcIos6
to the natural or market ratio, has been
made clear during the last few months.
The appeals of the silver democrats to J
Gesu Juckson are meeting with the same
fate. In a recent speech eN-Congress-man
.fosinh Putterson, of Tennessee,
after calling attention to the fact that
previous to 167G no American stfltesmnn
of any party approved of the absurd
doctrine that government can maintain
bimetallism regardless of natural ra
tios, spoke at some length upon Jack
son's jKxsltion on money and currency.
Here is what he said:
"Nothing within the range of po
litical absurdity could equal the spec
tacle presented by the followers of
Bryan when they met on the 8th of Jan
uary to eulogize Jackson, who coura
geously restored the gold currency.
"Have these gentlemen ever paused
long enough In their assault on the pros
perity of the country to inquire why It
was during Jackson's administration
the ratio was changed from fifteen to
sixteen to one? If. as they teach
the people, we had the concurrent
circulation of gold and silver
from the passage of the act of
1792 down to the suspension of the coin-
use or the sliver dollar m iht.j, wny
Sliver Nation Are Gradually Coming
to the Gold Standard.
While Mr. Bryan nnd his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, arc looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call tins
"battle for silver" at the next congres
sional elections; while a bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the 12uropean governments in the
interest of international bimetallism,
thor,e may be perceived all over the
world on unmistakable drift toward the
single standard of gold. Since the ap
pointment of the Unite1. States com
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is notnore probabili
ty of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re
turning to flintlock muskets for their
armies. T.hc latest announcement is
from Russia, which js to the effect that
she is irrevocably committed to the jold
standard.
But it Is not in Europe alone thnt
tills tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent case with which the
Japanese government lias planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern statesmanship
and marks the people as among the
sagacious
most sagacious nations of the earth.
was this change made? Arc they igno- Laggard China also seems to be awak-
rant, or do thev discruise the fact that ing from her silver dream of isolation
after the act of 1792 gold relatively to
silver was undervalued and went out of
circulation because it was worth a lit
tle more ns bullion than as money? Do
they forget or do they suppress the fact
that gold remained out of circulation
for more than 30 years prior to 1S34?
"Are they uninformed, or do they
conceal the fact that statesmen illustri
ous in democratic annals for many
years prior to the administration of
. Jackson advocated the restoration of
the gold currency? Have they never
read history, or do (hey withhold the
truth, when t.hey ignore the fact that
the bank of the United States selfishly
opposed the restoration because the
people would prefer its. bonk notes to
a currency so bulky nnjl inconvenient
as silver? It was Jackson who saw the
necessity for action, nnd who struck the
'HoV which crushed the bank and)
brought hard money to the pockets
of the people. It was Thomas II. Ben
ton, speaking for the administration of
Jackson, who declared in the senate
that the only way to crush the power
of t he bank was to restore gold to cir
culation. Ilere was the necessity and
the only reason for the passage of the
act of 1834 establishing the ratio of
.sixteen to one. '
"The similarity between the dlscus
,'ion whiph took place in 1834 and the
discussion which took place in 18DG is
striking'' nnd msltructive. Hard money
democrats. In supporting the policy of
Jacksotvadvnnced'the same arguments
wh'ich the sound money, democrats ad
vance,d in supporting the policy of
Cleveland, if the. luircL money dem
ocrats Insisted that tlje undervaluation j
of gold by the act of 1792, forced it opt
of circulation, the sound money dem
ocrats insisted that the proposition in
the Chicago plntform to undervalue sil
ver, if carried into effect, would bring
about the same result.
"If the hard. money democrats recog
nized that the act of 1792 had no per
ceptible influence on the eonimercinl
value of either gold or silver, and the
only wny to restore gold to circulation
was to change the ratio, the sound mon
ey demi'-crats recognized that the free
mintage of silver at the ratio of six
teen to one when the market ratio was
thirty-two to one, would result inev
itably in silver monometallism. If the
hard money democrats contended "that
till mankind hnd a predilection for
gold," the sound money democrats con
tended that a gold standard was pref
erable to n silver standard. If the hard
money democrats, in order to main
tain the gold currency when restored,
undervalued silver by making the coin
age ratio sixteen to one when the mar
ket, ratio was 15.58 to 1. the sound money
democrats resisted the scheme to over
value silver to ns to force the retirement
of gold. If the hnrd money democrats,
after the passage of the act of 1834,
pointed with pride nnd exultation to the
prosperity which followed the restora
tion of the gold currency, the sound
and is anxious to have the customs du
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, ns they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de
preciation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is coin
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it mny 1e assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If wc turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a.'
stirring in the Central and South Amer
ican states to reform their monetary
system nnd escape the losses entailed
by an inferior and depreciated currency .
