THE WAY IT WORKS LN MEX- 1c0, The advocates of free silver who told us so glibly last year that silver was the leader, and that all commo- dities followcd it have received a great shock in the advance in wheat, and the simultaneous fall in silver. ‘These same astute financiers pointed *to"Mexico as the one great sbin- ing example of the beauties of a sil- ver standard, But recent events in that country are putting their favor- ite theory to a very severe test. Sil- veris going down with exasperating persistency and in that country prices of things are going up, all except wages; the Mesican peon works for the same wages that he did years ago. ‘ne following from the Mex'- can “Herald’® is» worvby of consid- eration : The eagerness with which many people have taken advantage of the fall in silver to raise prices has been previously exhibited .gn similar occa , sions.

THE FALL OF SILVER. ‘The general /adopiion of gold as + standard by the leading nations of the world bas given a wonderful im- tus to its production, and corie- spondingly lessened the production of silver. —Register. Let us see: From 1866 to 1875 inclusive the world’s production of gold was $1,225,954,000; for the} iransporiation from remote ,reg:ons, |to write my impressions, I under same period the world’s production | introducing new sources of supplies}stand that no traveler ever writes a put of silver being only about one-| wheat, and these reasons half that of gold, In 1886 the world’s output of gold was $106,163,900, while the output of silyet for that year was $120,626,000. In 1894, the last yeor for which we have com- ple’ 14, the world’s output of old was $180,626,100, and that of silver $216,892,200. In 1894 the world’s production in ounces was: Gold, 8,705,836 ounces, and silver, 166,601,995 ounces. These figures show that silver has kept pace with gold, and has even greatly ex- exceeded it. That the production of silver is not being ‘‘correspondingly lessened’’ is {erther evidenced by the continued fall of s‘lver, which in 1873 was worth about $1.29 an ounce and now is worth only 55 cenis. In 1873 the ratio of gold to silver was 15.92 _|to 1; now itis about 57 to 1, and today the silver in a silver dollar is worth only 43 cents. The trouble with the price of silver is that while the demand for it is de- creasing the supply is constantly ine creasing, showing conclasively thai the constantly falling p:ice is in strict accordance with the law of sup- ply and demand. Within the last few days, one of the eminent Mexi- can financiers stated that the oaly hope of silver was that the constantly falling price would tend to increase the anaval output. But that no de- creare in the output would occur un- til the p-ice of silver falls below the cost of production. This is opinion held by American miat perts and they have in the last few days made the prediction that silver would fallto 40 cenis pet ounce. When silver mining ceases to be a soarce of profit, then the annual ovt- put will be lessened and the worlds total supply witl begin to adjust itself to the demand. Silver then may rise somewhat in price. All facts, how- ever, thoroughly demonsiraie tie fact that silver is @ commodiiy, aad yields to the inexorable law of sup- ply and demand. —_—_— FINANCIAL __ AMGGESTIONS, Timely Remarks Upon the Rela- tive Prices of Wheat and Silver and Other Live Topics. the ex- The Peuple Ave Now Dolog What Bryan Wented Them (o Do ~8.udying the Fivancial Question The Object Leston in the Fall of Silver. What of the price of wheat ia the fuiare? Is the rise now so remarka- ble in the ma”keis a temporary affa’ Will wheat go down aya witen there are good crops on other continenis? It is, of course, true that heavy crops elsewhere will reduce the prive of wheat, simply because they will re- dave the demand for it. There can be no help for that, But the g.ow- ing of wheat can be made profitable. The first notable influence will be found in the increase by maaoy wil- lions of the consumers of whiie bead, These millions were intro- 1 to the better breadstoff of civ- ation by the low rates that pre- vailed, and they have acquired a tasie for it. The same influences thai have enlarged the wheat-prodaciog lands and cheapened the production have found new cusiomers—coa- sumers—therefore markets. So this reat matter of white bread for the world will adjust itself handsomely. The farmers of the country should give their attention closely to a few contrasts. The free traders made a great row over the sugar bounty and the tin-plate duty. Their contention was the sheer impossibility that we should produce our own sugar and tin, Already every farmer in Ame ica knows that we shall soon produce all the sugar we consume and save a bundred millions a year for the tillers of our soil, and that we are also deep in the tin-plate manufacturing busi- ness, and that long before this Pres- idential term is out we shall produce in our shops all the tin-plate we want, and there are from twenty to twenty-five millions a year for Amer- ican workingmen to earn and distrib- ute. Now, these are the things that give a boom to prosperity. Contrast this with the vulgar falsification that low silver made wheat low, and all that rottenness of the Democratic im- agination There is sti'l a squirming struggle 24th of July, 1897, These free trade Revolutionary war and tbe law of p:o- tection that enabled us to establish American industries a’ong with our indepeodeace, What hurt Eoglaad If everyiuing is to be most when she lost her colonies was | will build the hospital in the Klon- P will say | tuat we set up manufaciasing for | ourselves. ‘Then England was, count- ing by t'me and freight charges, as at away from us a3 Australia is now, aod Lopdon is as pear us now gs, by the same measurement, Boston was (ben, Protection is much more im- portent now than then, because the competition, instead of being on the ther side of the world, is right at ovr doors, While the diffusion of the value of land by the [es.ens’o il and the broader appli inery to agriculiure, with facil:Lies of 6 beyond the control ofthe farmers, here were feults in the farmers themselves of which they should be sensible. Toey seemed to be anxious to extend the wheat areas on theif own land, and committed the sawe error in’ that particular that has damaged the Southern cotton planters. Let the farmers have diversity of crops. The money in circulation in the United States has increased about $130,000,000 in the past year, the price of foreign produgts has ad- vanced, and the busipess of country has greatly imptove | despite the assertions that yf thir’ but the free coinage of silyef would bring au increase of money or prices to the people of this eouatry. The people Who have attempted to make the people believe a few months ago that Secretary Sherman had passed the period of ective usefulness are saying nothing more on that su, ject. Secretary Sherman’s expres sions of views on current political topics are clear, crisp and vigorous, and strike a responsive chord in the hearts of ovecy Americgn citizen, tue When Bryan assumed wiih an af- fectation of solemnity, to be a stu- dent and a man of deep thought, he begged the people who came out to see the show 16 ‘‘siudy this silver question"?
