Now, that I have iq effectually auo
ceeded io convincing my good-natured,
but misguided Wend, Mr. MoCaterty,
of hie folly in attempting, like the tur*
tie In the fable, the exploration of re*
giona extraneous to hie nature, etich aa
criticism, philology, philosophy, logic,
etc., and aa. he has at length confined
hlmealf to the aimple role moat nnngCn
ial to hia nature, that of termagant, I
feel, that it la at leaat expedlent.to recog
nize hie intimation for a Irnoe. ‘
Yon hint, John, that Cochran and
Cady and yonr humble servant moat
feel somewhat out of place under the
tame blanket. What kind of a sensa
tion flatten through yourown anatomy
whan yourself and tha notorious Judge
Scott, of Omaha, "spoon up” between
ou« taut ii n*
tireljr another question, of eonree.
So you have determined to tnhe to the
lectors field. Well, when every other
field to success Is dosed that seems to
be open; and while I have not the
slightest desire to discourage you, can*
dor oompels me to remark that if your
debut be a specimen of your ability in
your new role, your career must result
in most ignomlnous failure.
The moat casual observer can hardly
fall to observe how distasteful, naus
eous, In fact, the name of poor Brynn is
becoming1 to the palate ot some of his
Whilom most ardent admirers. Eves
Mr. McCaiferty can hardly stomach the
dose without sugar-coating it with the
names of such models of patriotism and
Statesmanship as Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Lincoln and others whose
memories are held. aaesmLfor their un>.
selfish devotion to their country. The
attempt to mention In the Mate breath
the names of those noble spirits with
that of the arrant demagogue who Is
now tramping the eouhtry, firing the
spirits of section against section and
class against class for his own personal
ends, deserves the condemnation of
every American citiaen who loves his
country and reveres its honored dead.
Those honored gentlemen, Mr. Mc
Cafferty, whose names you mention, did,
with Robert Morris.and some others,
take the most active part in preparing
and helping to pass the first coinage act, ,
of the present constitution. But, Mr.
McOafferty, your subtle attempt to leave
the inference that the principles upon
which the ratio of the metals was de
termined and established in the act of
1703 and those contemplated by the
Bryanites is, to say the least, unbecom
ng a man who makes any pretention to
rairness or Justice. Anyone who has
read even a small part of the debates on
ihe question, or the correspondence be
tween Jefferson and Hamilton and Mor- 1
■is, knows that the central idea of the !
vbole discussion was to make the legal i
’alio correspond as .nearly as possible i
vith the commercial ratio. They con- i
sluded that one ounce of gold was, in i
he commercial world,- equal in vaiue to 1
Ifteen ounces of silver, and fixed the i
egal ratio at that rale. It was after- i
vards discovered, however, that an 1
tunes ot gold, as bullion, was worth <
nore than fifteen ounces of silver, its i
nint value, and hitoce gold was not i
»lned for circulation. Now, why was
hp change made in 1884, and upon what t
irinciple did the legislature again deter- .1
nine to establish it? It was made to i
iorreot the error committed in 1773, via: »
he miscalculation in fixing the mint to I
sorrespond with the commercial ratio, I
ind it was now hoped that upon the <
triginal idea—that of making cominer- i
dal and legal ratio equal—the concur-1 <
1
I
I
«nt circulation of both metala would bo
ecured. But this time there wu a dia
irlmlnation alightly in favor of cold,
rith a aimllar reault u In the caae of
hf original act, viz: that but one of the
aetala circulated—thla time it waa cold,
^rom 1884, ailver being more valuable
a the market than at the mint, retired
rom circulation until after the "Bland
lill,” which paaaed in 1878.
I apologize to you, Mr. Editor, and to
patient public, for going over thla
undred-timea told tale. The only ex*
use I have to offer for taking np your
>ace and time ia my deaire to ahow the
laential and the aole principle upon
hich it ia poaaible to have blmetalliam,
tat i8 concurrent circulation of both
etala, under unlimited coinage of both,
do thla by allowing that the principle
f which the congreaa of 1788 waa gov
ned in framing the coinage act waa
lat the legal and the commercial ratio
lould be equal; that by reaaon of a mia*
ilculation in determining thia equality,
e metal, ailver, favored at the mint,
ent to the mint, and the other metal,
ild, being more valuable aa bullion,
ent to the market The amendment
1834 waa baaed upon the aame prin*
pie—that of commercial yalue—but the
tioe were again made unequal, and
win only the metal favored at the
int went into circulation.

nfUM to recogbiae It. Hr. McCaffertj
Mya that if Hr. Bryan and hla aupport
era are anarchlau, Waahlngton, Jailer
aon, et. al. rauat have been anarohlati
too. i Thia ia a repetition of aome ol
Bryaa’a deceitful prattle by which It li
(ought to leave the impreaaion that thi
prinaiplae Involved in both raiaa Hill
of the original act and the Bryan moa
atroalty—are alike, ia which caae tha
ooacluiion—that Waahlngton et. el.
wake an arch late—would be iadlaputable.
But the prfnclplee involved are aa far
apart aa the polea. If Jefferaon and
Hamilton, or the otbera, ahould advocate
trm coinage of allver at double, or al
any; other than ita commercial value
wj|h gold, I don't think they would be
■mwviiww ivr w« n—oo uiti
tbiMfMMMmbontlTc evidence (o
ccpvitt than, white hi Bryan’s case It
nn be furnished in abundance. A
cbaigu of insanity, however, might lie.
Tb«lr reputation, unlike that of Bryan,
.would afford po other explanation.
If the commercial ratio* of the two
metals should always remain the same,
no matter whether at 1 to 1 or 100 to 1,
then, with unlimited coinage, concurs
rent circulation of both might be secured
And it would be immaterial which waa
called the "unit of value.” But with a
fluctuating market rains of both metals
concurrent circulation with unlimited
coinage is impossible. This ie the ex*
parlance of every cirilixed nation upon
the globe.
Mr. McCafferty does not seem to be
able .to grasp the principle upon which
the government is able to keep so much
silrer in use at present and why the
coinage of silrer Is limited. Your inter
ogatorles, Mr. Me, inrolre the whole
“silverquestion." The government is.
enabled to keep a large quantity of su
rer in use because it is pledged to main
tain its parity with gold; and It can
maintain such parity only by being
allowed to control the coinage of the
cheaper metal, silrer. Deprive the gov
ernment of the power to control the
•liver coinage and you remove the con
dition which makes It possible to main
lain the parity and at the same time step
down to a silver standard and leave no
Further excuse for a “silver question." It
may be Added that our bimetallism then,
Instead of being the practical, true bi
metallism which we now enjoy, and
which the republican party is pledged to
maintain, will be the bimetallism of
ivery silver standard nation in the world
to-day, via: silver monometallism. Bi
metallism does not exist to-day outside
>f gold-standard nations.
Mr. Mo’s question as to whether the
[►rice of silver has fallen hardly deserves
lotlce, and is characteristic of the trick
ily and subterfuge continually practiced
>y his leader.' All commercial values, it
s hardly necessary to say, are deter
mined and expressed with reference to
tome fixed standard. The standard of
iomparison In this country is the gold
lollar. The only question to be deter
mined, then, is: Is the relation between
illver and gold, in a commercial sense,
ess than it waa when the standard was
stablishedF and It la not necessary to
isk the opinion of Sootbur or any one
ilse to make up an answer.
The Soetbur tables were constructed
0 show the average prices of oommodi
Is* from 1861 to 1888, the prices of 100
irticles having been taken from the
iffleial testa at Hamburg, and that of
ourteen articles of British manufacture
rom London. As Congressman Mo
’leery has shown, in his answer to Con
gressman Towns, (both Minnesotlans)
he prices after 1878 never reached as
dv u those between 1847 and 1850, the
▼erege o( which wu taken aa a stand
rd. The prices of some articles, after
re. declined, but the prices of many
rare well sustained, while that of many
there showed an advance. The great
st decline was in minerals and metals
nd the fourteen British manufactured
rtlcles. The speeches of thoye two
entlemen can easily be obtained as |
oth were printed in pamphlet form.
The attempt on Mr. McCafferty’s part
> leave the inference that the Soetbur 1
tblee were published simply to show an j
itlmate relation between the prices of '
iricultural products and silver is as I
upid as it is dishonest. He can find in
r. Sauerbeck's "Course of Prices" that 1
te greatest fluctuation in prices oc- 1
irred in what he (Me) would call *‘bi- |
etallic times," notably from 1789 to \
114, and again in the early "flfties.” 1
hen prices were unusually high, and 1
other periods between times when j
■ices were very low. This Is but one ■
1 many refutations of the gross absurd
f that "the prices of agricultural *
oducti and the price of silver fluctu- jj
e together. c
I now come to the moet interesting *
itement Mr. McCafferty has made J
ice the commencement of tbe present £
icussion. I have laid him down, o
lied him oyer, stood him upon his u
ad and back again on his feet, in my
deavor to force him to commit him
f on some point that had direct bear
b
ing upon Ui theory o( coinage, bui
withont even until the preecnt.
Ur. McGafferty eaeerte that the amounl
of bullion in the dollar haa nothing tc
do with fixing ita value; declare* in fact
that aueh an idea i* the "veriest non
aanae," and In proof ot hi* itaUmeal
cite* the faot that the trade dtdlari al
though containing eight grain* more,
exchanged for twenty oent* lew than
the atandard dollar, and that the latter
will now purchase ae much pfpducuand
labor a* the gold .dollar, although it*
hullion value i* fortr*aaven cent* lew.
Juatao, John, Ton have given ue a
fair and exact etatement for once, and
one which completely proven my poeit*
Ion, a* previoualr Mated. Thank you,
•loan, very moon.
I have already wplBlBBd tiryou why
Uit itudud silver dollar ha* an equal
purchasing and debt-paying power with
the gold dollar, although Ita bullloi
value la only about oaa-half that of the
latter—that the government la pledged
to keep both at a parity on oouditlou
that it be allowed to limit tbe ooluage of
allver, and to remove the eonditlon la to
throw ua on a allver baala. The cue of
the trade dollar provu thia exactly. By
Motion Si of the act of 1878, the ownera
of allver bullion were allowed to have It
coined on their own account without
limit. But, on that very account—the
privilege of unlimited coinage—the
government never undertook to keep it
(the trade dollar) at a parity with gold,
and hence ita value wu, u muat ever be
the caee under unlimited coinage, only
about that of the bullion it contained.
The can of your purohulng the Mex
ican dollar, which you try to evade, ie a
further llluatration of the truth of my
poeition. You aay the Mexican dollar
reduced itself to bullion by coming on
thia aide of the line. Mr. McCafferty,
your Inclination to practice eubtle trick
ery ia acarcely lua than that of Mr.
Bryan, but you lack hia ability In that
line. The Mexican dollar, John,. ia
worth but ita bullion value no matter
where It happena to be—whether In
Mexico or out of it. But how about
your American dollar? Would It be re
duced to ita bullion ualue by expatria
ting ltaelf to Mexico? By lateet accounta
it wee worth 11.90 of Mexican money in
the City of Mexico. John, you are
either knaviab or idiotic.
Mow, I have taken a good deal of
paina, even at the expenae of being
proay, in handling thia, the only direct
poaition which you have u yet ■—wivd,
on the queatlon you pretended to, but
did not, discuaa. But I hope m/ labor
will not prove fruitleu; that you will
atudy the priaciplu laid down and act
upon them with candor. And now, that
I may mot diatract your attention from
thia important leaaon, I will allow other
mattere to paaa and cioee by asking you
to kindly anawer the following quea
lon: If, under unlimited coinage of
gold and allver, the bullion valuee need
not be taken into account, (aa they have
“nothing to do with fixing the value of
the coin*") why may not the ratio be
flxed.even up—an ounce of ellver to an
ounce of gold? I have a few more per
tinent queatlon* to which I would like
very much to have an anawer, but ahall
reserve them until I hear from you upon
the foregoing. BtuDmht.
P. 8.—Pleaae give ua a reaaon or two
why you think allver should be ooiued
without limit at the ratio of “16 to 1.”
