deposit bis silver bullion at the mints and
receive full legal tender coins at the rato
of f 1.29 for each ounce of silver, and dur

converted Into money at even a higher
price. Free coinage can only give bsck to

does not ask for a silver dollar redeemable
In a gold dollar, but for a silver dollar
which redeems Itself,
If the bullion value of sliver has not
been reduced by hostile leglglatloti, tho
free coinage of silver at the present ratio
can bring to the mine owner no benefit,
except by enabling him to pay a debt
already contracted with less ounces of
silver. If the price of his product has been
reduced by hostile legislation. Is ho asking
any more than we would ask under tue
same circumstances In seeking to remove
the oppressive hand of the law? Let me
euccest, too, that thoso who favor an
International agreement are estopped
from objecting to the profits of tho
sliver mine owners, because an
international agreement could ouly bo
effected at some ratio near to ours, probably
W4 to 1, and this would Just as surely
Inure to the bentfttof the owner of silver
ae would free coinage established by tho
independent action of this country.
If our opponents we-e correct to assert
ing that the price of silver bullion could be
maintained at 121) cauts an ouuee by
International agreement, but not by our
separate action, then international
bimetallism would bring a larger profit to
the mine owner than the free coinage
of silver by this couutry could. Let the
international blinetalllst, then, find some
better objection to free coinage than that
based on the mine owner's profit.
tub, ntoriTS op minixo.
But what Is the mine-owner's profit?
lias anyone told you the average coat of
mining an ounce of silver? Vou have
beard of some particular mine where silver
can be produced at a low cost, but noouo
has attempted to give you any roliable data
as to the average oost of prod uctlun. 1 h ad
a totter from Mr. Leech when he was di
rector of the mist, tsytns that the govern
ment ts In possession of no data In re
gard to the oost of gold production and
none of any value in regard to silver. No
calculation can be made as to the protits of
mlulng which does not Include money spent
In protpectlug and tu mines which novo

profitably worked,
When we tee a wheel of fortune with
twenty-four paddles, see those paddles
sold for 10 Ceots apleoe, and see the holder
of the winning puddle draw !, we do uot
conclude that money can be profitably In
vested la a wheel of fortune. We know
that those who bought expended alto
getner 12.40 on the turn of the wheel, and
that tn man wno won oniy received wa
but our opponents Insist upon estimating
the profits of sliver mining by the cost of
the winning paddle, it Is safe to say that
taking the gold and sliver of the world-
ami It is more true of silver than of gold
very dollar's worth of metal lias cost ll.
It Is strange that those who watch so care
fully lest the silver miner snail reoeive
more for his product than the bare cost of
produollou, Ignore the more fortunate gold
minor.
Did you ever bear a mooometallist com
plain because a man could produce 25.8
grains of gold, .0 fine, at any prioo what
ever, and yet tako it to our mint and have
it stamped Into a dollar with full legal
tender qualities? 1 saw at the World's
fair a few days ago a nugget of gold, lust
as It was found, worth over ta.ouo. W hat
an outrage that the Under ahould be allowed
to convert that Into money at such aa en
ormous profit And yet no advocate of
honest money raises Ills baud to stop that
crime.
VALUE SOT DEPENDENT ON COST.
The fact la that the price of gold and
sliver does not depend upon the cost of
production, but upon the law of supply and
demand, it Is true that production will
stop when either meial can not be produced
at a profit: but so lone as the demand con
tinues enuat to tho supply the value of an
ounco ot either metal niny be far above the
cost' of production. Willi most kinds ot
property a rise iu price will cause Increased
production; for tastanco, if the price of
wheat rises faster than the price of other
things, there will be a tendency to in
creased production until the prior falls;
but this tendency cau not be carried out In
the case ot the precious nietalM, because
the metal must be found before it can be
produced, ana finding is uncertain.
Between 1800 and 181U an ounoo ot gold
or silver would exchange for morn of other
things tlmu it would from 18W to 1873. yet
durtug tha latter period tha production r.f
both irold and silver greatly increased, it
will be said that the purchasing power of
an ounce of metal fell because ot tho In
creased supply; put that fall did not check
production, nor has the rise in the pur
cnasiug power of an ounce of gold since
1873 Increased the production. The pro
duction t both gold and sliver Is controlled
So !! by chance as to make Some of
the laws applicants to other property In.
applicable to the precious metals. If the
( JPPly of gold decrease without anv dimi
nution of the demand the exchangeable
value ot each ounce of gold is bound to tu
crease, although the cost ot producing toe
gold may continue to fail.

An iiif reaseof the silver dollar one third
by au international agreement would re
duce by fMo,ojO the number of dollars
wiiich could be coined from the annual
product of silver, whirh would aiuouulto
a decrease of about one-quarter of the en
tire I oereaee of metallic money, while the
abandonment of silver entirely would de
stroy three-quarters of tbo annual lucrease
iu metallic money, or possibly all of it, if
we take into consideration the reduction of
the gold supply by the closiug of gold pro
ducing silver mines.
Thus It Is almost certain that without .
silver the sum of metallic money would re-,
main stationary, if not aotua'ly decrease,
from year to year, while population In
creases and new enterprises demand, from
time to time, a larger sum of eurrency.
Thus It will be seen that tha money que,
lion is broader thau the interest of a few
mine owners. It touches every man,
woman, uud child iu all the world, and
afleets those In every condition of life and
society.
IXflDEXTAL UBSEFirS.
The interest of the mine owner is Inci
dental, lie profits by the use ot sliver as
money Just as the gold miner profits by tho
use of gold as money; Just as the newspa
per probts by the law compelling the ad
vertising of foreclosures; Just as the sea
port profits by the deepeulng of Its harbor;
just ss tho horse seller would profit by a
war which required the purchoseof a large
number of homes for cavalry service, or
just ss the undertaker would profit by the
decent uuiiai ot a pauper at puuuo ex
cuse. All of these receive an incidental benefit
from publlo acts, fcball we complain if
the uh of gold and silver aa money gives
employment to men, builds up clt'es and
Alls our mountains with life and Industry?
bball we oppress all debtor, aod derange
all busiuess agreements In order to prevent
the producers of money metals from ob
taining fur them more than actual com?
We do not reason that way in other things.
Why suppress the reason in this matter be
cause of cultivated prejudices against the
wh.to metal? but what Interest lias the
farmer In this subject? you may ssk. The
same that every laboring man has in a
currency sulllcieut to carry on the com'
merce aud business of a country. The em
ployer cannot give work to men unless he
can carry on tbo bualnese at a profit, and
tie ts hampered and embarrassed by a cur
rency which appreciates because of Its In
suthcleucy. Vlig KABllEll'S IMTKUBST.
The farmer labors under a double disad
vantage. He not only suffers as a producer
from all those csuses which reduce the
price of property, but he Is thrown loto
competition with the products of India.
Without Indian competition His lot would
be hard enough, for It be is a land owner
be and his capital decreasing with an ap
preciating standard, and If he owes on tlie
laud lie buds his equity of redemption ex
tinguished. The Just census shows a
real estate mortgage Indebtedness In
the five great agricultural states fill
noli, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
of more than fl.oou.ouo.ooo. A rising
standard means a great deal to these mort
gagers. 11 ut as 1 said, the producers of
wheat and cotton have a special grievance,
for the prices of those articles are governed
largely by ths prices In Liverpool, aud as
silver goes down our prices fall, while the
tupce prices remains the ssme. 1 quote
from the agricultural report of IHM,

We need not concern ourselves, there
fore, about the eoin silver. All that wc
have to take care of is the annual product
from the miues, about 4ti per cent cf which
la produced in this euur.lry. Lndor the
Sherman law wo furnisn a market fur
about one-nurd of the world's annual
product, 1 bellove about one-sixth is
used in me art, witicti would leave
about one-halt for all the rest of the world.
India lias suspended freo coinage tempora
lly, in anticipation of the repeal of the
bherinun law. The ilerscbeil report ex
pressly states that the action was neces
sary, because uo agreement with the
United btutes could be secured. The
langusge Is as follows;
In a dispatch or the (Lit of June, 1K2, the
government of India cxpresvod thu deliberate,
vplutuo, lljiil.tf It Iwcnuie clour that loo liruit
kflK con ferooco was uiulkuly to arrlvn at a

There is no doubt of the restoration of
freo roloaee In India if this government
takes tlie lead, and with India taking the
usual amount, but onu-alxtli of the annual
eupply is left lor the other ellver-uilng
countries. There cau be uo Mood ot stiver,
nor will prices rise to any considerable ex
lent -except the price of sllvsr itsuif and a
few ot the staple products of agriculture
which have fallen with silver because ot
ludia's competition. General prices cau
uot rise unless the total number of dollars
Increases more rapidly than the need for
dollars, which has beeu shown to be Im
possible. The danger Is, that taklug ull
tho gold aud all the stiver, we will not
have ouough money, and tost there will
still be sums appreciation iu tlie standard
of value.
To recapitulate, then, there Is not enough
of either metal to form the basis for the
world's metallic money; both mutals must
therefore bo used at full legal tender pri
mary money. There Is uot enough of both
n.ctals to more than keep pacs with tno In
creased de.uand tor money, silver cannot
be retained In circulation as a part of the
world's money If the United btates aban
dons it This nation must, therefore,
either retain the preseul law or make some
further provision for silver. The only
rational plan Is to use both gold and sliver
at some ratio with equal privileges fit
the mint. Nochauge In the ratio can be
made iiitulligeutly uatil both metals arc
putoa an equality at the present ratio.
1'Im present ratio should be adopted if the
parity, can be maintained; aud, lastly, li
can be.
TUB AHKHUA.X I.A.W.
if these conclusions are correct what
must be our action on the bill to uncondi
tionally repeal the Klierinan law? The
Sherman law has a serious defect; It treats
silver as a commodity rather than us a
money, ami thus discriminates between
silver and gold. The (Sherman law was
passed Iu 1S:J as a substitute for what was
knowu as the liiand law. It will be le
memuered mat the liiand law was forced
upon the silver men as a compromise, and
that the opponents of silver sought Its re
peal from tho day It was paused. It will also
be remembered that tho Sherman law was
lit like manner forced upon tho silver men
as a compromise, and that the opponent,
of silver have sought Its repeal ever since
It became a law. The law provides for the
compulsory purchase of M.wo.uoo ounce
of sliver per year, and for the lesui of
treasury notes thereon At the gold value of
the bullion.
These notes are a logal tender and are
redeemable iu gold or silver at the option
of the government. There Is also a clause
In the law which states that It is tho policy
of this government to maintain tho parity
belweeu tho metals. The administration,
it seems, has decided that the parity can
only be maintained by violating a part of
the law and giving the option to the
holder instead ot to tha government.
Without discussing tlie administration ol
the law lot ut consider tho charges made
Rglnstit.
FALSB JLLAHM.
The mnln objection which we heard last
spriug was that the treasury notes, were
used to draw gold out ot tho treasury. If
that objection was a material one titc bill
might easily be amended so as to make the
treasury notes hereafter Issued re
deemable only in silver, like
the silver certificates issued under
the liiand law. But the objection is
scarcely important enough for considera
tion. . While the treasury notes have been
use to draw out goid, they need not have
t een used for that purpose for we have
fittd.OJd.OiMJ worth of greenbacks with
which gold can be drown so long as the
goveruinent gives tho option to the holder.
It all the treasury notes were destroyed the
greenbacks are sufficient to draw out ths
r-I00,wo,0oo resorve three times over, and
then they cau be reissued and used again.
To complain ot the treasury notea w bile
the greeubacka romalu la like finding fault
because the gata ts ooen wlieu the whole
fence Is down, and reminds rau ot the man
who made a box tor his feline family and
rut a big hole for the cat to go la and a
little hole for the kittens to go in, for
getting that the large hole would do fur
cata of all sizes.
Just at this lime the law Is being made
the scapegoat ujmn whim all nur flnannial
Ilia are leaded, and Its immediate and uo-
coudltloual' repeal la demanded as the sole
moans by which prosperity can be roitored
to a troubled people.
The mala accusation against It Is that it
destrovs confidence, aud that foreign

would not their our pone be more plain?
liut they say the repeal of the Jaw will
encourage foreign capital to come
here by giving assurance that
It will be repaid oo a gold
basis. Can we a fiord to buy confidence at
that price? Can we altoid to abandon the
constitutional right to pay In either gold
or sliver in order to borrow foreign gold
Willi the certainty of having to pay It buck
In appreciated dollars? To my inlud, Mr.
Speaker, the remedy proposed seems not
ouly daugeroua and absurd, but entirely
Inadequate. We do not cure a headache
by putting a mustard plaster on the fuel;
why try to borrow foreign capital to order
to induce the people In this country to re
deposit their savings in ths bauks.
A HUGOKSTION,
Why do Dot these financiers apply the
remedy to thu dlten led part? If the gen
tleman from New Y'erk (Mr, llendrlx)
who said, "1 have oome Into this ball us a
banker, 1 am here as the president of o
national bank," desires to restore confi
dence, let him propose for the considers"
Hon of the members a bill to raise by a
small tax upon deposits a sum suttlclent to
secure depositor against possible lost;
or a bill to compel stockholders
to put up security ' for their
double liability or to prevent stock
holders or otllcers from wrecking a bank to
carry on their private business; or to limit
the liabilities whtchabauk can assume
upon a given amount of capital, so that
there will be more margin to protect Its
creditors; or a bill to make more severe the
punishment for embezzlement, so that a
man can not rob a bank of a half million
aud escape with five years, aud can not be
hoarded at a lintel by a marshal, while tho
small thief suffers in a dungeon. Let him
proposo some real relief and the bouse will
be glad to co-operate with him.
Or if there is immediate lelief neces
sary in the increased issue of payor money,
let our financiers press the suggestion
tnndo by the gentiemau from Ohio (Mr.
Johnson), viz., that tno holders of govern
ment bonds ae allowed to depohlt thorn and
draw the face In treasury notes by remit
ting tho Interest and with tho power of re
deeming the bonds at any time. This will
givo Immediate rollef and would save the
government interest on tho bonds while
the mouey Is out, Hut no, tho only rem
edy propused by these humidors At thlr
tune, when business is at a sUtitlxtill and
when men are suffering unemployed, Is a
remedy which will enable them to both
control the currency and reap pecuniary
profit.
.ioriE MONET NEEDED.
One ot the benefits of the Sherman law,
so far as tho currency is concerned, Is that
it compels the issue of a largo amount of
money annually, and but for this Issue the
present financial panic would, Iu my Judg
ment, be far more severe than it Is. That
we need an annual Increase. In tho cur
rency Is urged by Mr. Sherman himself iu
a speech advocating the passage of the
Sherman law. On the 5th day of Juno,
l.Ki, ho said in the senate:
Under tho !nw of February. 1K78. the pur
ohusu of tu.uoo.ouj worth of silver bullion a
month has by ciln.ura p,-oducud annually aa
average of nearly HifcO.OM pur mouth for a
purlod of twelve years, hut iliis amount. In
View of tho retirement ot tbo bank notes, wlil

our tnctvatiliig population. If our present
currency is ettimaiud tit LliX),ooy,u KJ and our
