man order can charge the evils of the
times up to the Wilson bill, but they
know that the cause lies deeper than
that. English statesmen ot the gold
standard tyte admit that the presen
depression is due to the destruction
of the par of exchange between gold
and silver as money. When, therefore
Mr. Chapman assumes that the repea
of the McKinley act produced the hard
times he is simply showing his egotistic
ignorance of exi.-ting conditions tha

a
Men who take a view of things that
is broad enough to embrace that the
decrease in the commerce of the United
States the exports as well as imports-
since 131)2 is not wholly the result of
local causes, however much it might
have been caused by the gold con
spirac', for, when one looks abroad he
finds that the same condition of de
pression exists in all civilized countries,
except, possibly, Japan and Mexico,
and the commerce of the world has
been greatly reduced during the past
four years. Therefore, it is plain that
neither a high nor low tariff could have
helped us out of our slough of de
spond. Chea ppliticn3 of the Chap-
Touch an Englishman on the tariff
question and he will point to the mag
nih:ent advancement England has
made in the past titty years under
free trade policy, whereby her com
i
merce anu manuiactures nave more
than quadrupled. Talk to him about
nuances and he will admit that the
stopping oi silver coinage is proving
disastrous in the lowering of prices
throughout the world as well as in
England, but he will point to the pro
gress and wonderful developement of
England's commeice and manufactures
as the direct result of the gold stand
ard which she adopted in 181G. He
will say this in spite of the fact that
that within three years after its adop
tion the number of landowners in Eng
land decreased more than 30,000, and
has been growing smaller year by year
since that time, and the number of
renters has largely increased. These
facta are undisputed,' and are made
more prominent by the iecnt discus
sion in the house of (oramons, which
a opted a resolution calling for an in
vestigation in the interest ot bimet
allism-and looking to the calling of an
other international conference on the
money question. The debate which
followed showed that -while a general
utpitssion anu lowering ot prices
throughout the world was an admitted
fact, caused by the destruction tW the
par of exchange between gold and sil
ver, because the latin union had ceased
to coin silver, but those speaking for
the government were positive that it
would be ruinous for England to adopt
bimetallism. The idea was that her
interests were being ruined because
other countries had gone to the gold
standard, but she would only make it
worse by adopting the remedy which
she recommended to others. The ridic
ulousness hi tins position I.- Jess ap
