lost on thoughtful people We are realizing some of the results of our supreme folly in permit ting British and foreign interests to dictate the character of our monetary system The situation is more ominous than the sjmptoms that appear on the surface would indicate Those surface symptoms are the continued outflow of gold and an uneasy feeling in business circles that the Britisfli gold standard is leading to results that were not anti cipated by those who ignorantly placed their influence behind it Behind this uneasiness in business circles is to be found an absolute lepression of trade almost equal in extent to that which followed the fall in silver and the sub sequent unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act in 1893 Two weeks ago the information came that varioTis manufacturing industries were shutting down for the purpose ot keeping up prices That movement showed the desperate tactics to which our industries are driven to realize profits under the British gold standard During the week just closed the num ber of failures was almost as large as that of the panic year 1S93 and lia bilities were only a million less vDuns report says that there is no re action from the business depression and frankly adds that efforts to ex plain it or to attribute it to this or that temporary influence are wasted That is true It can be explained only bjr the operations of the single gold stand ard wliich constantly enhances the value of gold as compared with other forms of property and with all the pro ducts of human labor There can be no prosperity under the single gold standard in a nation that is a heavy deltor of foreign countries Under the monetary standard that is suited to our people we would be able to pay our foreign debts with the sur plus of our staple commodities such as wheat cotton provisions etc but under the single gold standard the prices of our exportable commodities are so low that the sum realized for them falls far short of paying our debts fctbroad and consequently our small and constantly dwindling stock of gold jmust be -drawn on The speculative spurt in business over -Which the gold monometallists congratulated themselves two or three months ago has entirely expended its strength Industries that responded to it in the vain hope that it meant a re vival of prosperity have been com pelled to shut down or to sell their products at prices that represent only the most meager profits Over and over again The Constitution and other bhnetallists bave assured business men that there can be no permanent pros perity in this country under the single gold standard We have not permitted this statement to go out either as a prediction or as an assumption but have shown with an accuracy that is mathematical that the increased de mand for gold would make it more val uable and that this constantly increas ing value would burt all forms of busi ness save that of money lending and reduce the prices of all products of hu man labor below the profit level That is precisely what has happened and is happening and It is this pro cess that drags both business and spec ulation down wlien they make an effort to rise to the liigh liivel of prosperity that formerly marked the course of trade and traffic It seems queer in deed that there are to be found people who cannot see what is happening be fore their eyes The Constitution is now and always has been the apostle of optimism But the most pronounced optimist cannot afford to discredit his sanity by pretending to believe that the people can be really prosperous under the single gold standard unless by means of a miracle the worlds stock of gold available for monetary purposes should be trebled or quadrupled We say that our people especially the people of the South are able to sur vive the operations of the single gold standard for a time at least but we say too that it is both foolish and crim inal to compel them to suffer under a system that robs them for the benefit of the money lenders and gold speculators The most ordinary intelligence can perceive the direction in which the country is drifting under the British gold standard The tendencies are all In the direction of bankruptcy We are told when the administration threw the doors of the treasury open to the shy locks of Europe and invited them to help themselves that the outflow of gold was caused by the issue of treas ury notes for the purchase of silver This was stopped and when gold con tinued to go out we were informed af ter two bond issues that a syndicate of foreign bankers had pledged themselves to prevent the export of gold The syn cate did reasonably well until it pocketed its immense profits and then It dropped the affair as a dhild would drop a hot potato Now that gold lias begun to go out at the rato of more than a million a day we are politely informed that after all the greenbacks and treasury notes are the cause of the trouble and that if the people will consent to the suppression and retirement of 500000000 of legal tender money everything will then be serene because the treasury will not then need to keep any gold on hand This so called remedy will only make our financial troubles more acute Sucli a tremendous contraction of our legal tender money will lower prices still further and add tenfold to the business depression that lias been grad ually deepening and increasing ever since our mints were closed to silver Nevertheless the money power is be i hind it the administration is working actively for it and it may be that the representatives of the people can be in duced to sell them out again just as they were sold out in 1893 Atlanta Constitution Best Money The Boot and Shoe Recorder a Bos ton trade publication of the better class in a recent issue contains the following editorial utterances The simple fact is that best money means nothing more nor less than low est prices and lowest prices cannot pos sibly mean anything else than depres sion in industry and stagnation in busi ness Legislation that would restore the use of silver as money here and in other countries would double the amount of money and make the whole less valuable This would mean ad vancing profits just as positively as disuse of silver has brought more val uable money and declining prices As long as the money lending financial ideas are in control we cannot look for a change in this direction The only prospect for relief in sight at present therefore or in other words the only chance for getting a less val uable currency with advancing prices is from the increasing production of gold and from this cause as we have previously pointed out there is reason to be hopeful of good results But the change cannot come at once It will take time to develop the mines and get out the gold and even with the large production of 200000000 in gold a year it will be some time before there can be a marked effect on the value of the worlds stock of 4000000000 or over We may get some measure of re lief from tariff changes which will tend to advance prices again but this would be only temporary k long as the gen eral movement of the worlds currency tends to make it more valuable or better as our financiers express it It is no answer to say that this argu ment could be carried to an extreme and that a currency of copper or tin or iron would be cheaper and therefore bring more prosperity We could sim ply ask how the other extreme would work with a currency of diamonds or some other metal of which only a few pounds could be supplied We are arguing on the existing conditions and in a business way and the only com mon sense business conclusion must be that the movement iu the direction of better or more valuable nioney as a measure of values must be stopped be fore there can be any confidence or as surance or profit in business opera tions We may have spurts in differ ent lines and changes due to what might be termed local causes but in dustry as a whole cannot prosper as long as declining prices destroy all chances of profit for the men who must take the lead in all various branches of wealth production In so far as the re cent great gold discoveries tend to this result there is promise and hope for the future The above utterance coining from the representative journal of one of the heaviest items of manufacture in the East may be classed as significant It presents in business like terms the re lation of currency to commerce a rela tion which the Eastern statesmen be clouded by the London single standard fog have been muddling for some years with fine spun theories and high-sounding terms which mean little or nothing when reduced to practice For Restoration There is an amazing degree of mis understanding of the real attitude of the farmers and manufacturers of the country on the silver question This misunderstanding prevails in the West to a degree positively alarming and dangerous to the cause It cannot be repeated too often that the information we get over the wires from the East or through the metropolitan newspapers of the East are subservient to the in fluences of the advocates of the single gold standard because in fact they are in the main the property of the advocates of the single gold standard For this reason Western people should never look to the associated dispatches or to the editorials of the Eastern news paper press to ascertain the attitude of anybody on the silver question It has been stated before but cannot be repeated too often that the asso ciated press falsified its reports of the action of the farmers national congress at Atlanta on the silver question The course that the delegates in that con gress pursued was precisely the con trary to what the associated press re ported and was everything that the most ardent friends of the silver cause could ask To know the real attitude of the farmers and manufacturers of the whole country on this question one must seek Information from the middle classes who compose the masses of farmers and manufacturers It is a fac which a thorough -investigation will sustain that among- the farmers and manufacturers n the whole region east of the Missouri River nine but of ten are in favor of the restoration of silver coinage The Usefulness of a Jest He stood upon the platform of his car serene and smiling when every car driv er and truckman on West street was swearing and cursing The jam was tremendous and the street was packed from curb to curb Yet whenever he spoke it was with some good natured jest and the truck drivers turned out of his way and let car No 7S go by He hailed them all with merry badinage and the surliest of fciiem grinned from ear to ear and gave him back all that he sent Its easy he said to me confidential ly When once you get a man to smile hell do anything you want him to do Did you see that surly chap driving the beer wagon I kept chaffing him until I got him to laughing and when a man once lets a smile chase over his face hes a goner I tell you my friend that even down here in West street good nature will go further in getting your own way than all the yelling and cursing And the philosophical car driver whip ped up his horses and told the chario teer of the ice wagon in front that no man could stop things up as he did un less he were from Cork The ice wagon turned aside and the Iceman grinned and said that he was from Limerick New York Herald Disastrous Failure We can mention no failure more disas trous than that of physical energy It in volves
