The lintilc * * nut Mhkli the ndvocatr.s of 10 to 1 frei- and unlimited coinage have to cinck Is the fact that the latlo btwwn ( slhi'inml sold has constantly changed In spile of the statutory ratios fixed by nil the pilnclp.il nations of the world and the aid which silver has had from unlimited coinage In the past. Tnl o the Hngllsli ratio , as IKod by acts of Pailiamenl , from which the following table Is compiled : Year.

On the continent of Km opt * the latio.was ] to lo' , . so that I'li'-'lnnd ' nndoivalued silver slightly. Bui by act of railhnncnl of l.'dl an attempt was made to double the value of silver b.v declaring that live pounds of sliver should be coined into money equal In debt-paying power to one pound of gold coin. This was only a glganllc swindle begotten by a dis honest sovi'ioign. who hoped to pocket the dllleience and pay his debts in half vaiuo money. This debasement of the coin ot the realm natmally cteated a icaetloii that caused railliiment , at the cud of five .veins , to irstote the mint i.ilio to the commeiclal iiitlo , which at that time was 1 to 11. Yet the pi Ice of silver kept sliding down. By 1 XI ) it had touched 1 to TJ. and by Iti'Jt ! 1 to I ! ! , and by HitHt 1 to 11 % . But the tree slh elites caicfully omit quot ing the latio between gold and silver bi'fme HIS7. Kiotn that time fonv.tid until 17U ! ) It hurled In the vicinity of 1 to 13. The thing that knocks out the fiee silver tbcoiy that 1(5 ( to 1 must be a poipctna ! tatio is the fact tlmt silver hud fallen in pi ice Tit ) pel ivnt beloro that tallo Mas ever established , and has lallen anothei . " ( ) per cent since il was established , notwithstanding Its constantly Inci casing use as money and In the aits all the vvoild over. TO bT JO7I.V The addie.ss of the peimaneiit chair man of the convention of the .so-called national silver p.tily , Mr.V. . I * . St. John of New Yoilc. is IlkeH to be widely used by the free silver advotates. This because Mr. St. .lohn is n banker , until recently the piesldent of one of the largest national banks in New Yoik , and therefoie presumed to b" an author ity on tinanci.il questions lie has been for scveial jcars , advocating fiee silver and by teason of bis ] > ositlon has un doubtedly conliUnited to the promotion of that cause. As he may be expected to continue to labor in the cause nioie or less pi eminently Ills views aie woi thy of consideiatlon. Mr. St. .lolin's addiesb was In part a plea for inoie money , on the ground thnt "the value of each dollar , e\piessed In pi ices , depends upon the total number of dolhns in citdilation. " so that iwheii the number Is great the plane of prices Is high and vice \eisa. In oilier words , tlmt an inll.itlon of cutiency neces- sailly means an inflation of pi ices. In lljtion of an Inlet lor cniiency might under certain conditions have this effect. That was bliown during the peiiod of government paper inll.itlon and the expeiience would be icpcaled with the pioposod free coinage- sil ver. But Incicaslng the supply of sound money does not nocoss.u ily pro duce a like ell eel. because then the pi Ice movement Is lari'ly , if ever , dependent upon the amount ol money in clicula- tlon , being continued almost entirely b.v supply and demand. Tor example , in 1S7S the circulation per capita was si.- , : ! ' . ! , while in ls ! > I it war , ? JI.F ; : : , an in- croiiho of almost exactly 151) ) pel cent , yet nearly nil commodities were consider ably lower at the latter date than the loimer. They had declined because of tlie gieat incie.ise in production , a tact which the advocates of free .silver find It convenient never to consider when talking about lower in Ices. The line explanation of the fall In juices of com modities the world over dining the past twenty jenis is to bo found In the fact that there has been n greal enlarge ment of pioductlon and not in a scaicily of money , which in this coun try at least lias incieased In amount moie iiipidly tlmn population. Tills is cspculall ) tine of tlie ceieals and of col- Ion and wool Another of Mi , St. John's assertions was that If we icopened our mints there would be no danger of a Hood of sliver liom Kuiope. Against this we set the opinion of a favorite autlioiltj with tlie lice silver men , ( Vimischl , who said In icgard to the pioposed 10- ImhlUtallon of the old ftllvcr doll-ir. "All the new silver of Nevada and the old sllvei of ( idmany v.-ould bt > brought lo the American mint for coinage and all gold would be exported from Amer ica to Kmope , " and lie dccl.ucd in tlie Mime coiiiiectlon that "the United States will tu'cnmc a silver monometallic < oun- tiy , Just tint same as KnglKh India. " In answer to the contention tlmt free silver would drive nil the gold into ic- liiement , Mr. St. .lohn Kild that neatly all of It Is now in letlroment. This Is open to dispute , but oven the gold now In ictliement to which he alludes In pot forming a money function , as Mr. St. John admits , which would not bo the case If we had free silver , became our ewicncy being on n sllvei b.uls. gold 'wmild ' become a commodity lo In * speculated In , It would cease to be held by tlie banks as n reserve , for the ohvioiM reason that with n sliver stand aid. which would CIIMIB Iliu moment the government began lodcemlng its paper obligations In silver , theio would bo no necessity for the banks keeping n gold rest'ive.

Theio aie places wheie the council could cmtall cvpt'iises , but the Hie depaitment K not the place. While o.\piessing these views wo dcpieeato any tlne.it to laNe lire Insniancu rates as no"dloss and uncalled for. Omaha will not al low Itself to be coerced Into any com seer or policy.

This has appealed to thorn absolutely necessaiy in older to chciU the m.inilcst dillt to\\aid a llmuulal p.inic. The distuibed situa- tlnn is not due altogether to the - withdrawals drawals of gold liom the treasury , thonsh tlieie is no doubt of an appie- honsioii thai It lelt nnloitilled the 10- seivc would in a very short time be depleted to an extent jliutould lender neccssaiy anotlier Ksno of bonds tor its loplenlshnient and it is a quo-it Ion whether the govoimnent could sell bonds under existing clicumstances.

The exports of meichandlse aie In ex cess of Impoits and this excess will piobably soon be Increased by cxporta- lions of the new cotton ciop , which is maturing about two weeks earlier than usual. Anotlier icassuilns circumstance noted In the e.islein piess Is the per sistent , thonsh moderate , hn.vlng of slocks by London , which has been solus on ever since the piescnt decline in prices took place. This indicates what would happen If It were not for the free silver agitation here. Hut de spite these somewhat roassuilns facts , the .situation i.-i not fieo fiom danser , owing to the Htiong feellns of distrust among our o\\n people. There Is leason to hope that the timely action of the banks will have the cll'ect to check the growth of this dlstinst , which lineal- oncd to develop Into a vci liable panic.

He pre sided over the national convention of 1SG3 , nnd , despite his protest , was made the cmi- dldnto ot his party for president. Sey mour's Ideas nro rather old-fashioned , how ever , for the new school of democracy. He believed In honest } and fair dealing ami hail no patience with those who seek to set the masses against the classes so called , In order to nmko protit for themselves In the operation The New York Sun docs well at this time In reprinting a message to the legislature , sent on Aplll 22. 1S04 , b } Sey mour , when he was governor of New York , In which message that great democrat and statesman took linn ground In fmor of paying the state indebtedness in gold , ns had been agreed to In the contract Wo gather from the message that the New York legislature bad i assed a con current resolution ns follows "Whereas , All the stocks issued by this state were payable and negotiable in this htnte , therefnie , "Resolved , 1 hat no distinction should be mudo between the foreign nnd domestic holders of such bonds ns to the currency In which the principal and Interest theieon should be paid " During the preceding year the legislature had adopted a concuncnt resolution setting forth that the Interest on thu state debt held by persons residing out of the United States be paid in gold or its equivalent An appropriation was mnde for the purchase of coin to pay In gold the interest on the bunds of New York held by persons jesld- ing abroad. While the resolution did not recite that credltois In this country should not be paid in gold , In the absence of an nppioprlatlon the comptroller could not make such pnjment. Govoiuor Seymour de clared that , while this Kept faith with the stranger. It broke faith with our own people. Here are some further extracts from Gov- einor Seymour's message- "Tho effect of the resolution of this jear. In the absence of any appropriation , will be that no part of the interest will be paid , as it was piomlsed to be paid , in coin or Its equlvalcnf. "When" we sought the markets of the world with our secuiltles wo pledged our selves to redeem them In the currency of the world. " 1 look upon this matter as of so much moment to the welfare and to the clmiautcr of New York and Its people that I feel con strained to ask you tb give the subject n le- coiisldcration , and to urge you to pass n con current resolution Hint shall ctiuble the I comptroller to pay all the interest which i may fall due befoie the nc\t session of the | legislature in coin I "The lefusal to pay in coin to our own cltUens may justify itself to some minds | although not to mine , as a measure of ( junsl taxation , special , discriminating and unfair , but excused by our piescnt extraoidlnary condition. In dealing with our cieditors in other countries no such consideiatlon can como in. We have over them no legitimate power of taxation ; these creditois of ours have novoice in nor part In our political ac tion ; we have no claim upon them tlmt they should tnko a share in the misfortunes that befall us In our career They nro not of our household nor bound to take part of our domestic calamities upon themselves. The burdens and misfortunes of this war belong to us. It is ungenerous to shift any portion of them upon others who are not a part of us These foreign creditors of ours nre strangers who lent us their money when we nanted It upon no security but our word of honor. If we do not pay them back their money to the strict letter of our Imigaln wo Incur a shame that can never bo. removed from us. "Aside from the consideration of Interest or policy oui duty , In my Judgment , is plain It Is to pay the debts of the state , to pay them In precisely the mode in which they were promised to he paid ; to keep the honor of the stnto unsullied , nnd to this plain duty we should he true , cost what It may" These patilotlc words of Governor Sey mour wore written during the dark days of the war , when many citizens groaning under u buidcn of taxation , " sought to repudiate part of their obligations Ilio logic of Ills message fits the Kltuntlon ns It exists toduy , when a considerable part of the community la making an effort to pay off u debt of 100 rc'iitB with a bllver dollar which , under frco tolnagc , will hnvo a purchasing power of 5 ! cents The paity which nearly thirty years ago made Seymour Ha candidate for the olllio of president has been captured by tlio advocates of debased currency.
