Silver Satisfactorily.
of
Dut it is said tho world's surplus
stock of silver is increasing, and yet
careful investigation (hy ono of tho
blest currency experts in this country,
based upon tho production of tho fiscal
year 1891, shows that the annual excels
in tho use of silver beyond the amount
annually produced in this aouutry is
about 5,000,000 ounces, and that tho
world's uses exceed its annual produc
tion by about 9,500,000 ounces. This
annual deficit, making a reasonable
allowaneo for increased production,
even without any additional demand
for money uses, cannot very materially
diminish, Tho United States produces
a littel more than two-fifths of tho
entire product of tho woild. Wo own
more than one-seventh of the entire
stock of tho world's silver. Wo used
at homo about 5,000,000 ounces nioro
silver than wo produced in 1891, al
though our product for that year wan
larger by 11,830,000 ounces than it was
in 1890. Tho business safety of our
oountry requires that our gold money
shall bo largely supplemented in some
manner'. This can only bo done by
increasing tho uses of silver ag money.
But it sacms to bo imposaiblo as yet
to induce the principal European com
mercial countries to aid us in the re
habilitation of silver through tho bul
lion purohase plan to tho Shorman aot
to reduce tho surplus, and, therefore,
as 1 nave betore Bam, i tmtiK it to be
in tho interest of bimetallism to
abandon that plan for tho prciont,
and provide for tho coinage of our
homo product at tho ratio of 10 to 1,
with such limitations as to legal tender
use as tho present unsettled business
conditions may sotin to demand.
I do not concur in the view expressed
bo some, that tho best way to settle tho
coinage controvcisy is to put silver
ouough into tho silver dollar to make it
at onco equal in valuo to tho silver
dollar. If our rati) of 1 to 1G of sil
ver iliould bo ehangod oven to 1 to '20
tho ontiro rccoinago of all our silver
dollars would bo immediately required.
Wo have in this country neatly U00,
000,000 of silver in monoy uso. Tho
inoreascd waight of silver required
for this now dollar, if all should be
recoincd, would causo a shrinkage or
contraction of moro than $100,000,
000. If tbo ratio should bo changed
so as to require amount of silver
equal in commercial valuo to tho pres
ent gold dollar it would causo an im
mediate shrinkago or contraction of
more than $200,000,000. This chungo
under present conditions would pro
duce such b financial panic as wo havo
.novcr seen, It would cost the United
States and Franco together in tho way
of contraction more than $400,000,-
000, The world's shrinkage under
this ratio, if subsidary coins wcro con
sulcrcu. wouia bo so great as to re
quire three years of the entire world's
production of both gold and silver to
make it up, und long beforo it should
bo accomplished tho silver dollar
would command a largo premium for
gold.
Unc of the most important of cur
American industries is tht production
of silver, Neighboring states with
whioli wo luvo a very largo and re
munerative commerce, whoso interests
und otira aro in many rcipcots identi
cal, are among tho largest produoors
of silver in tho United States. It is,
thereforo, manifestly our interest,
both looally and generally considered,
nnd our duty as well, to stand for and
insist on tho earliest possible conser
vative rehabilitation of silver. Itut
wo must adynnco to this result with
xunli careful consideration, and pru
dcuco of mothod ns not to disturb for
a moment tho truo measurement of
values.

as I have indicated as to ratio and legal
tander limitations, would bo moro help
ful to the interests cf bi-motalistn, as
well as tho business intjrests general
ly of this country, nnd moro influen
tial in its effect on European senti
ment, than anything that can bo dono
at this Urns. It would be a full rec
ognition of silver as money. It would
! a most emphatio declaration that
tho United States Intends to stand by
tho white metal and build it up to a
party with gold as rapidly as it can
bo safely dono, It would cause no
strain upon the gold supply. It would
not disturb values. 'It would remove
present apprehensions. It would set
the paco for the wholo world toward
the bi-mctallio standard, It would
compel Great Britain to abandon its
policy of ultimately destroying tho
silver currency of India, initiated as
a part of tho general conspiracy of
the mono-mctallists to forco tho repeal
of tho Sherman act nnd tho total
abandonment of silver as a coiu money
in this country. It would be n httini;
rebuke to this combine, which for six
months or longer has been plotting
and scheming, breeding distrust and
destroying confidence, in order that
through the general business depres
sion and financial distress which wore
suro to follow, a publio sentiment
might be aroused which would foroo
from congress the total repeal of our
last and only law recognizing Bilvor as
a money metal. The unfortunate
truth is that thol builded on this lino
better than they knew; but thoy
sowed too liberally to tho wind, and,
uufortunately for themselves, they
chiefly reaped the whirlwind.
My contention for tho coinago of
tho homo silver produot is based upon
present condition!, and present possi
bilities as I seo them. Hut if a census
could bo speedily reached for tho
abandonment of tho coinago of gold,
as well as silver, not of tho Eubudary
denominations, and for tho substitu
tion thereforo of tho bullion of both
metals as currcney as bases, as nn ac
cepted money for internal as well as
domestio uses, and, itidecd, for fidu
ciary uses gcnorally, it would most
likely provo a permanent solution of
tho currcnoy question for tho whole
world. A solo nnd uniform paper
currency issued by tho treasury de
partment, rcdcemablo in, and incon
vertible with such bullion, under prop
er regulations, would furnish tho
oountry with a stable and tlcxiblo cur
rcnoy which would undoubtedly be
piefcrablo to that wo now have.
If, in addition to this, an agrcoment
could be reached with tho other prin
cipal commercial nations for tho is
suance of bills or certificates, uniform
in character, based on gold and silver
bullion, for use instead of tho bullion
itself as an international money of
commcrco, such use to be subjoct to
the option of tho party requiring such
exchange, tho gold rcratnblc, and
financial disturbances resulting from
largo coin shipmonts at inopportuuo
tiniCB from ono gnat commercial na
tion to another, would bo known no
more. But suoh a schema in my
opinion is not prcsontly practicable.
It would require more timo than wo
can now command for its consumma
tion, Congress must take immediato and
dooisivn action, bcoausc, however
groundless present apprehensions may
be, thoy exist everywhere, and somo
action looking to relief, however -iui-
aginary, muRt be takon nt oneo. The
authorization of tho cdinapjo of our
homo produot of silver in substitution
fur tho purcha8o provisions of tlio
Shorman act, on some kucL plan asI
have suggested, ought, it seems to mr,
to bo quickly and easily scoured.
After this shall havo been dono I am
suro that wo shall bo in better situa
tion to coufcr with other nations as
to tho necessity of nnd tho best met li
pd for a world's settlement of the
coinago problem than ever before.
Certainly somothinc in tho way of a
compromise is an nbsoluto necessity.
The Sherman act can not be absolute
ly repealed; but it nan bo modified on
somo suoh reasonable linos as I havo
suggested,

Krow oat ot doors. Whent will ruako
from '.'5 to 'M bushols to tho aore, oats
from 20 to L'a bushels to the acre, nnd

nnd no hay. Went into camp at Broken
Bow. Started nto o'clock. The country
in Custor Co., Neb., is very rolling, bat
the crops aro looking somo better north

to Unto a 20 mile post odlce on the South
Loop. Hero wo tlnd a large settlement
ot Illinois people, principally from North
Henderson in Mercer county. Horo tho
writer met his uncle M. O. Herbert nnd
visited till Sunday morniug. All of tho
Loop Valloy is splendid farming land
nnd horn in Custor Co., is some pretty
good government land that would beat
