historical revlew of the questlon and said that, ln every

Mr. 'i'ellcr-lf the Mint was open to the reception

Mr. bherrnan-Yea; lt woulff be bronght here from

Mr. Mcwart?Can you cita an Instanco where, when
the mlnts were open to the free tolnage of silver, tho
bullion vaiue of silver was less than the coln value ?
Mr .Sherman-When were the mlnta open to thc free
coinage, of silver? I can quote tlkis lnstame, whlch
fortitles my argnnient with tenfold strength. that when
s'lvcr was at a premlum It was demoiicti-Cd. and re
mained so for years; and ln order to get tl.e heneflt
of the use of sllvcr we had to reduce the ratlo, in order
to prcvent Ita eiportatlon. When the ratlo of 1834
wa, adopted all the *llver colned here fled tl* coiin*
tr>, betauae it was valued more highly in other coun
Uies.
Mr. Sherman Oicn passed to a revlew of the leglshv
tion of 1878 in eonnection with thc Bland and Alllson
bills and said that he had been oharged wltb opposl'ig
the Bland blll. He had done BB. He had licforr, him
the report of an Interview whlch he had had, a< BBerfl
tary of tbe Treasury. with a commlttee of the llotise.
in regard to it, iu which he had snid that if the llland
blll were passed it would mi*ke an entlrc revulutlon ln
thc money al'alrs of the c.uutry. He had ,aid IJBBbI the
free eolnage of silver meant the single standard of
*.il\ei", and all that he then said he now agreed to.
Hut he had not opposed thc Bland-Allison act. Oa thc
OBfMBBf, when he had been called l*efore a commlltce
of tiw senate a.n that ?nb]wt. he had stated his belief
tliat the llland Allls-m act (not the Bland bill. but the
act as It passed, would be ln ald of rcMimptlon. So
far as he now knew, he had nol said a word agalnst it*
pa-sj-e. H was true that President Haycs. with thnt
itideiK-ndence which always marked him, having fnars
that even that act with Its limitations might l**ad to
the same result as the Bland bill, did veto lt; but he
IMr. sherman) had mrt Bdflaai such a vote. He had
heard flBBCB stufl about what he had done in that con
neetion. Hc had heard it ovei and over agaln with?
out rising in his plaee and BBytof a word. becau?e he
had not wlshed to Bflg anything af all aliont what had
oroarral between BtBaaelf Bflaf ibe man whom he hon
t.rcd as the PreMdent ?f the CnltoU l-tates.
Mr. Tcllcr here interpa.sed a remarh on which Mr.
fherman's onlv commcul wa*. tliat the henator from

ritable as a schoolmaster: but tliat IflBBlBflB were not

passed the period of iu.nncy. iLaughter.)
Mr. fshernian went on to speak of ihe worklngs of
tlvo Bland Allison Ael, and said that xir.ee its BBBaaBfl.
.?0,000,000 af silver dollars had been colned and
inaintnined nt par wtth gold. not beeau*e of the in
tiinsie value flf the silver dollac. but becausc of tlie
< redll of the tiovernment of BBfl grent uias*. i.f bullion
bealai the silver certillc.ies and a.f the provislon that
li, y ,hould be ti-eated as money Ifl their bioadcst
oeii-e. There had been enough to maintaln that greul
ma*, of ,ilver coln up to the Mandard of gold. although
the metal out of which it wns made had been goinp
,l,,\>n, day by tlny. ln all the markets of the world.

la,t ,i-s,|,,ti, it wa, pn>po,ed to ad'ifl that same roliey
by a bill to increnso the nj^.'liase of sllvcr bullion
u.Illio.igh he thought thc BKOnnt t/vo large). hc had
..-artilv and cliecrfully supported it. The prinriplc,

iiiiiiti', was* on what he thought thc gold standard.
-*>' ,1 \et the ? aftei St*tes u-ed ? ilver to a greater cx
tei't rbiin *uy country except France alonc.
Mr. Miermai then referred to the Latln t'nlon, and
la the clrciihistanros tniiler which lt had been formed
namely, to piiiu-rt paM .ircnlatlon nnd ?llver clreula
tion allhe. Tl.e tienty of ui.ia.n aafl e.tplred on tha
l,t of Jimui.ry, 1801- a fortnigln ago. It was simply
kept lu exI-teiKC now l,y th- wlll i.f the partlcs to it.
Th ? I^itin nations did not ditfer ln thclr fltumrlal
p-.licy from the DaBei State*, except ln one materlal
t'cpect. They did not coln sllvcr, and the OBIlBd
etatcs did. The I'nited Biates was more liberal Ifl
?ilver liutii wa* even rrance: and yet the Scnatc had
been told of the great prosperity of France, and thai
woiiderful prosperity had been attributed to Its trea.'
ment of silver. He had before him thc law of that
country as to coinage, and the trcatlcs which rag
ulat**d that law, and he declarcd that Ifl France they
were not half a? liberal about sllvcr as they had been
for years ln the l'nit-'d Siaio*. under the AUi-on act.
Silver wa? not a legal tender ln France for a
Inglier amount than .'.0 francls. And yet the Senato
h*d been told that France was a silver nation. The
La, in t'nlon had not only suspended tlie coinage oi
silver (except for subsidiary pieres), but France bad
agreed not to i*suc 5 franc pleces **o long as the timtv
lasfcd, and had provlded for their red-mptlon iu gold.
How ridlriilous It was then to represont France as a
silver country t He had spent a month in France
during the cxposltlon of l.*>8, and had never secn a
5 franc plecc-the "dollar of the fathers." They had
ceased to have any exlstencc. Their coinage had
been not only suspended d?'Iiberak'ly, but had been
suspended for life, and could not be nestored. unless by
the Jolnt action of the flve great I'owers which formed
the Latln I'nlon. France BBB not In any sense a
silver afliuntry.
When, tho c.overnment proposed the free coinage of
silver drawn from all the world. It proposed a standard
of value equal to the market value of 371 grains of
silver. Senator.-; could not flec from that. Did any
?flBfltflf bellevc that tho I'nited Matflfl alonc, unafded
by the co-ojieratlou of forelgn powers, eould brjng thi,
va,t commaidlty up to $1 _t and kcep it there without
buylng all Ihe outlylng sllvcr that other nations could,
from time to time, divest themselvcs of? Hc did not
Ihlnk so. lf not they would vote for a proposition that
reduced thc standard of value on all contracta and
obligations made ln the I'nited States. It might bc said
that these obligations wci-e due to creditors und that
thc people would fleece tho creditors. He did not
atrlbute any such scntlmcnt to any tsenator. And yet
?aaatoca now proposed a law the loglcal result of
which would be to establl,li a new ratlo of value by
whlch B1'_0 of t-llver bullion could bc convert.-d Into
money under all <ircum_ances. even ln tlie nildst of
paal.-. The arbltrary prlao propo*?ed to be pald for
silver had not been reaehed for lifteen years. He did
not sco why hls silver fr.ends, or the people, ought not
to be satisfled with the firesent law. lt was a compro
mi?*. proposition made after grave rcflectlon. Why
ahould the bullion owners of Xevada and Colorado bc
pald more that tlie market prlce for thclr silver? Why
should not the farmer say when his wheat went down to
kss thar. a livlng prlce: "Glve me what I ought to
bave?the average prlce per year"! J
Mr. Dinlel lni|Ulred whether more than lt? market
prl'-e waa not paid for gold.
Mr. Slieioibn rc-pJicd ln the negative. The Govern
ment retej>?.?<. dcpjs.t of gold at Its marbet value
tt tba valuo hxed iu the marketa of tlie world. If
the Cnitad Statea could have the co-operation of ali
other nations, or of a sufbclent number of them to C_
and liurk the value of silver, no one would be mOre
grateful than he. But the I'nited Statea could not do
It Thc t'nited .tates stood aloue. If the tSenator

Mr. Gray lnqnlred whclner, If Uie I'nlted States
were on a silver basis. there would bc any tempfadon
to the holders of forelgn silver BTlllloii to brlng It to
American Tnints.
Mr. Sherman replled that If the Senator looked com
placently uix.n a slnglc silver slandard hc Ind nolhing
to say. What he wns trylng to show was that (ho
loglcal and noeessary effect of fr-eecolnare xvas to brlng
the country to a silver standard. He did not mean la
say tlmt (he people of tbe United siafes would bo
rultied by iliat slandard.
Mr. Oray -The I'nlted Sfatcs havlng come to a silver
stan'datd, will there M :fl*? lemptadon (o the forelgn
holders of silver to exchange silver bullion for 412 l '2
gralns silx-cr dollai-a.
Mr. (shermau-I thlnk fhcro would. becanse I thlnk
xve would still be paying more for allver than anybodv

I'ontlnulng. Mr. Sherman sald be was asliamed that
a great nation llke thls should be cotitcnt lo loxver its
slandard of value, to Jolr Chlna, Japaii an.l thc Sonth
American S(a(es. and to Ieave the graal romp-my of
commcreia] natlons, whleh now linpof^illy t*toof by tlie
best slandard of value. For. ahaltim might be aaid
of silver, no one xvould qucstion that in the great 8888
nosa Ironsactions of lifc silver would not ai.swer (he
purpose. u wonld be n Vuied by thc lon. i.old
alone wns tho standard of value. While a
silver standard mlght not brlng rnin upon the
country, (,('11 it wouM be a lowcring of
(he flag, which hc (riislcd (de United States would
never agree to. When au tnfer'or s(andard of BBOCMJ
was substltutcd for an saf-rlor. it diove out the
superior-. There could bc only ot.c slandard of monev.
or of measiuc. or of ttatght, u Coods were Mcaaanal
by a shorter ynrd. tho pttee would ronform to tlmt
yard. Tho rountry was ln a pt*i>ncrr>iis condition. Its
gwwing prospcrlty xvould be arre-lcd l,y a eliange In thc
standard of value. Hc could sce nothlng Iu tho future
of (hls measuro cxeopt distnist, fcar and rhange af
value*. It would iiijtire all tliose xvho depend upon
ihelr Ir!. * and upon thc pi-oduction of (Iie farm nnd
nf th ? ikshop.
M: .-man then went on to argue ffortifylng hi*
argnn.. -.. with statisticsi that fhe cost of a-rataelng
nn ounce of s!Ix-er In thls rountry was a'-out BO
cents. There were other chiisck, ho sald. that would
add to thc produetlon of silver and rcduee ils prlre-.
One was tho new silver mhie* tliat xverc being con
stantly opened. Krom the Yukon Kivcr m AIa=ha to the
Straights of Magellan there was not probably an Inlcrval
of f.fty miles in the vast chain of mountalns where
silver could not bc found.
Mr. stewnrt attempted to asg a qne-tion. but Mr.
Sherman derllncd to Hsten to lf. Not only, he con
tlnned, were new mines being opened, but silver was
nnlversal. and was to be fonnd in almost cverv
country In the world. Then. beside*. there were n*w
B8MMBM being roustantly adopted for the smeltlng
and relTnlug of Kilver, and thoso proce-ses were
grently lcsenlng tlie. cost of produetion. I'or 400
ycars the value of silver had been r-lativelv decMnlnc.
At tl.e Ume af the discovery of Ameriia eight onnr.s
of sllx-er were worth one 084BM Of g"Id; aud sincc then
the disparity lia-'I groxvn greater and greater, until
at one tliae It took txventv two onnces of *i|vcr to on.*
ef gold. The loss of valuo during that 400 year*
had been more than (uofold B8 eonii>arcd xvi tli gJOaA
lt xvas the same with other nietals-|ron. lead. nlclie]
atid tln. Thla was a rnlnlng age. There was no
.lifhculiy, Ur. Sherman aaBerteA. In kopplug goll and
silver ata parity with ench other. When they separat'-l
from eafh other in niarkct value, nnd when It w.is
ilearly perceived tliat 8*8888 meial was going down ln
value. (hen (be ratlo should l.e rhanged. There wa.
nothing sacrwl about a ratlo. lt was now 10 to 1
in tlie United states, 18 12 to 1 In Fnince, and
18 to 1 in some other conntrles. while tlie marlict
ratio was IS or 20 to 1. Instead of perraaJng th-.t
-imple, plain renv-dy (a changc, of rafloi, altr con
ferrlng wlth the tr.tlons of the world about It. the
extrerne remedy was being presc^d of ba-ing n'.l the
wealth of the country on a standard nt silver, whleh
was going down in value relatively to gold,
and had been going down for 400 jears.
He believed that the best m.ney ever
dcviived by man was the Treasury noies of tiie I'nited
states, li-sued under ihe law of list session?gold ccrtl
flcatefi atid silver certiflcate-'. That was (hc kind of
money wlileh would always circtilatc, N'eKlicr g..ld
nor silver could rl ren late among (hc AaMrtaM pc^iplc.
He had frled onc?, when Secretary of (lic Treasury'. 88
get silv?r subsidlary coin 4nto largcr clrculallon. by
sending It. to varlons postofflc<*s of (he eonntiv; bul. H
had all been retttrned al mueh 8X888888 to (he <iov
ernment. And now there was ijvjo.ooo.oon of subsldlnry
silver coin lylng Idleln tlie Treasury (thls bill pcoposing
ta lssuo allver certiflcates upon iti; and (here wa- nlso
lying in the Ti-easury a mass of 3-*0,000,(K>o of silver
dollars. That waa ihe highest evidenee that the
people of the country did not want elther silver coin
or gold coin. They wanted paper money, bnsod on
silver and on gold, based on solid valucs, and supported
by the credlt of tlte ('overnment. Hut still Iho
standard of money would hax-e to be retalned, because
paper money w-a*. not money ln thc true sense of llie
word. lt w'? a mere representatlve af money, and
thei-e had to be a standard of value behlnd lt. The
standard now was gold ; but It wns propo-cd by tho
pending arnondment <o make silver thc stiindard, (j.
.lispla.'o the gold st?ndai*d, and to pla.-e all the money
of the country on thc baais of silver, which, it. all (he
eotintrles of Kurope was a commodity of variable value
and was sold by the ton.
Mr. Pngli asked Mr. Sherman to state his oplnlon os
to the .itiantity nf money neoded by the people of tlie
United Sta(?s for their business.
'.Mr. -sliennan dcellned to go Into that qucMion. It
was an entlrcly ditTerent t/,plc. He was now dealing
xxith mclals. He knew, hc i-ald, that xxhat ho was
aagtag would M mct with tho cry of demiiuogues

lleved so he would bc derclict in hls highest du(y
if he did not do everyIhlng to promote thc inferest
