(a 8. These Bvur.'S demonstrate to tbe business man of a few years' experience that neither tndmdtn.1 prosperity nor commercial activity is absolutely controlled by tbe amount af the circulating medli.ni. The paftsape in lb7o tf the act for the reiuiniption of specie pay ments on January I, IH;d, put an cud, for the time beinf. to oui depreciated paper currency, and from that time till the piiHaKcof the Iliand Allison act of 178 we were. In fact as in theory, on ft fold ban., having but ft single standard of exchange; and the beneficent effects of this single standard, giving assured confidences wbicb can be based only on uniformity and per manency of value, lasted until increasing silver coinage, under tbe act of Ih;h, reached an amount which. In the constantly declining value of silver, threatened permanently to unsettle the currency. "I think 1 am safe in asserting that from July 1. IH71I, to July 1, tm, we enjoyed very great prosperity, Individually and nationally. There was no lack of money. It sumccd not only to fill the treasury, but It abundantly answered the demands of commerce, and an extraor dinary business activity followed by very high prices. It will be seen that the average per capita circulation during that period was 30.0I. If we now take the period from July, IttW, to the present, a period of great monetary strin gency, we find an average circulation per cap ita ol r:a to. It la therefore apparent that, in the common oirlance, times' -may be 'bard' and money scarce aiih the most abundant cir culation. If, on a given day, the active busi ness men of a community, for reasons good or bad, but satisfactory to themselves, resolve to make no further contracts, to quit all business transactions, ft seeming scarcity of money Is the result Whatever tbe volume of the circu lating medium, it docs not Impose Itself on anybody. He who gets It must give an equiva lent for it, If nobody wants his labor or his property he can get no money. If ho who has It refuses to loan It, in fear that the curtency to be paid back at maturity of the loan will be less valuable, the condition is one of stagnation nd 'scarcity of money' Is the const .itience. Tbe per capita circulation In the L'ni'd King dom of lireat Ilritaln Is now 119.34 Of this 114.40 is gold, circulating freely amonr the peo ple. Of silver there Is only HW, and of paper 1124. Tbe Example of Kemps. "Tbe per capita circulation In Germany Is till less, to wit, 17.56, And yet in these coun tries, wilh their vast commerce and manu factures, there is no dearth of money, and in terest rules at scarcely more than half the rates prevailing in this country. Kngland adopted the single gold standard in 1K10 and has adhered to It ever since, and by so doing has become the money center of the world Germany adopted the single standard in If7t and since that time she has been rapidly advanc ing In a'l the elements of national greatness. 11 is true that France has a seemingly largo per capita circulation if II .07), but of this Il7.vr con sists of silver which was coined prior to 1873, while silver maintained its relative Intrinsic value to gold. The finances of France, for tunately, arc steadied and made secure by the happy possession of at least li-OO.OOO.IXio in gold coin alone. More than half of Its depreciated silver (a total of 70n,000,000) ilea idly In the Bank of Franco, where it Is likely to remain unused, as the :Wl,v78,8l6of coined dollars that on June I, I89S, lay hoarded in the treasury of the United States. The per capita actual cir culation in France scarcely exceeds that In the United States, anil, consisting as it docs al most wholly of gold, the currency Is reasonably permanent and reliable; and as Franco has now ceased to coin silver, the financial situa tion mere ta not threatened as here by a change of standard. "3. The panic of 1873 was, without doubt, the direct result of speculation and overtrading induced by the greenback era, beginning in iwb-w. Between 18'M ana 1873, both inclusive, the balance of foreign trade against us was H,086,t40,omi-thttt Is, we Imported Into this country during Ihcse eleven yoars, over and above our exports of merchandise, this enor mous sum of over one thousand million dollars. This long and steady drainage, lasting without a single Intermission for eleven years, brought its legitimate fruit a lose of a large part of the nation's wealth, and with It tbe country's entire stock of gold The only currency left us was tbe greenback and the national bank note, which latter, being redeemable in law ful money of the United States, could not acquire any higher value than the greenback Itself. "Take the period of unbridled state bank is sacs of paper money, between 1848 and 18fi7, both inclusive, and we find a similar result. In a total foreign commerce in these ten years of only J4,3rt7,booIwOO. the excess of our imports of merchandise over exports was almost 1347,000, 000, making an average loss of 8 per cent, per annum. This drainage of woalth resulted in the panic of 18'i7, whose severity continued un til the depreciated state bank circulation was destroyed and substituted by the greenback eurrency, which at first enjoyed the confidence of the people. ftllver Legislation Besponslble. . "1 Tbe commercial conditions now existing are altogether different from the two periods named. It seems to me demonstrable, so far as a financial proposition can be logically demon strated, that the present situation is not the re sult of speculation, of overtrading or bad bus! ness methods, but that it is largely, tf not wholly, produced by the (liver legislation of eongress. "I have already shown that under the era of depreciated greenbacks the balance of trade was against ns every year. State bank Issues bad been tried and could not be kept at par with gold United Statea bank Issues had also been tried, and, though backed by the wealth of tbe nation, they, too. had failed to preserve parity wltb gold. The Increasing production of silver as compared wltb that of gold had In duced Germany to follow England and to dis card it as a twin standard of value, and the wisest and roost considerate statesmen of the world were being rapidly driven to the convic tion, tbat the highest and best political econo my required and demanded a single standard of value. - " ' "Tr.e American rnnzmss of 18r3, actuated no fSonbt i these views aud earnest!! toeing Vs 5 asl r-i -r f.--;.- - . e-. - A lrur4 Cwrreacf ' "liwaa evimj w i!w iet -o'e'- tram esera of tre c-7 ; i t&at u.e act of ; i t --c.ua; v bring atxiut bsm a floace siaaJ-inl BTt.-c jeu by lis fnemis. bat a S"g statd as.j o cepreciaieo sever.

In the first six years of the time ending June JO 1881, we bad already imported In gold over lli!,0uu.OJO more than we bad exported, and it must be remem bered that In 1881 w bad been already four years on our downward course toward a silver standard after the Bland law of 1878. Hold Shipments Ulsastroea. "finally, after passing the Sherman law ef IfM, which mors than doubled the silver pur chase, the remarkable fact ia disclosed that no amount of exportation of merchandise could stay tbe shipments of gold from the United States. For Instance, in I IN we exported an excess of merchandise ef over Hb.uUO.OUO, and In the same year exported aa excess of gold of over 118.010 Out la 1891 we exported an excess of merchandise of over IM.ono.wo snd exported aa excess of gold of over ITJ.tMUUl, and al though tbe excess of our exports of products in la(U amounted tolnearly rjo3.llu0.00u, yet tbe almost startling fact appears that during that year we exported over I13.0i0,fx3 of gold, and now that tbe balance of trade has naturally turned against us the country is being drained of its remaining gold with alarming rapidity. If any gold be left in this country ft is boarded by the timid It Is as completely absent from the circulation as if it had no existence. From January, 18M, to June, mi, nearly II.KM.noj.OM of gold aud gold certificates were withdrawn from the national treasury. Tbe rapid disap pearance of gold may be further determined by the fact that in January, 1801, 88.1 per cent of the customs taxes la New York were paid In gold and gold certificates, while in May, IrKl, only one-tenth of I per cent was similarly paid. "a. It only remains now briefly to state the character of the silver acts of 1878 and 18?) and to furnish you the reasons for believing that the overthrow of public confidence and the present depression in business are the legiti mate consequences of those acts. Tbe natural or normal resulis of tbis legislation would prob ably have followed much sooner but for the many abundant crops of this country and the numerous failures in that respect abremd. Tbe act of J.'ebruury 28, 1878, known aa tbe Bland act, was, by title, to authorize the coinage of the standard sliver dollar and to restore its legal tender character.' It directed the secre tary of the treasury to purchase monthly not less than tt.OOO.OOO nor more than I4,009,ikio worth of silver bullion, to be immediately coined Into silver dollars of 412 grains of pure metal and these dollars, when so coined, were made a legal tender for all deb', public and private, except when otherwise expressly stip ulated in the contract The act further pro vided that the holder of these coins might de posit them with the treasurer or assistant treasurer of the United States and receive therefor certificates of not less than 110 in amount, and these certificates were made re. celvable for customs, taxes and all public due, nd 'when o received may be reissued.' Bad Business Toller. The act of July 14, 1 (!, known ss the Sher man law, directs the secretary of the treasury to purchase 4,VJ0.otX) ounces of silver bullion at the market value thereof so long as silver was depreciated below the par ol gold, and to issue in payment Ihereof treasury notes of the United States in denominations of II to 11,0)0 Tbeso notes were made a legal tender for all debts and receivable for nil public dues, snd were to be reissued by the government The secretary of the treasury is required to redeem these notes in gold or silver coin, at his discre tion. To Induce the national banks to accept them they are autborited to count them as a part of their lawful reserve. Coinage of sil ver dollar was to continue, as provided by the llland act, till July I, 1KKI, and after that the secretary is required to coin any additional bul lion that may be necessary to redeem the treas ury notes issued for its purchase "Under the act of 1878 the government pur chased 291.292.019 ounces of fine silver lit a cost of :)8, 109,262, and coined It Into silver dollars to ihe amount of 1378.196,793. The prollt of nearly 170.OWi.ooti made by stamping a falsehood on the coins was covered into the treasury us so much proitl Under tbe aot of 189) the gov ernment, up to June 1, 18i)8, had purchased fUd.Sdl.bfi;, and under the Injunction of con tinued coinage for a year, under the net of 1890, there were coined additional dollars to tbe amount of (36,087,040. Adding to these amounts the rccoinage of trade dollars into standard dollars, we have on July I, I8A coined silver dollars amounting to 4l9.332.30i "if we take tbe market price of silver on June I, 1893, (83 cents per ounce), the loss on this bullion so purchased by the government was on that day I83.518,ft!8. On June 28, lioa, rrar sll vcr was worth only 73 cents per ounce, entail ing upon ibe government an Additional loss of 144883,435 in less than a month. When we examine the financial history of our country, and more especially the history of our coinage laws, the new-born real for the sliver dollar, as developed in tbe act of 1878, Is quite remark able. At tbe time of tie passage the dollar pro vided for was intrinsically worth only 19 cent as compared with gold that Is, the ratio of value ns between this authorized dollar and the gold dollar was 17.94 to I, Instead of II to I, as fixed by the coinage act of Jinuary 18, 1887. Silver bad been constantly declining for several years, and all Europe had closed its mint agatnst it coinage except in subsidiary coins, limited as to legal tender. Of this fact ihe con gress of 1878 was surely advised, because the sec ond section of the act makeslt obligatory on the president to invito the countries comprising the Latin Union, which bad been the last to re ject tbe c?e of silver, and ether nations of Europe, to join In ft conference to adopt a com mon ratio between gold and sliver, and to se cure a fixity of value between the metals Sliver Demonetization Wa Deliberate, "To show beyond all cavil that the act of 187.Vlemonetlzlng the silver dollar as a tender for debt, was advisedly and considerately passed, we need only examine the contempo raneous legislation on the same kindred ques tions. Tne provisions of the act of 1873 itself are too plain to have been misunderstood; and to have made them different would have been ft marked departure from the polloy of the gov ernment as fixed by that coinage act of Feb ruary 21, 1863, which decreased the quantity of metal in the subsidiary silver coins and limited their legal tender character to pay ment of II and lest Hence, the act of 1873, dropping the further mention of the silver dol lar from tbe coinage of the United States, ex pressly confines tbe use of all silver eolns- of tbe United States to payments not exceeding fb in amount The act of June 22. 1874, was strict ly in consonance wltb that of 1871. It bad been nur previous policy since tbe foundation of the government to make foreign coins, of both gold and silver, receivable for public dues, and also between individual The values fixed by law for many of these coins, especially those ef sliver, were already beyond their Intrinsic worth, and silver gave signs of continued de crease. Hence tb act of 1874 declared, first, that all forelen eolna should cease to be a. la.,l tanrtar, anennri that the frnid enlna of Ihft.' United Slates, when not reduced below the-e-tofcrs. weight of tolerance, should be a legal tendnv for all debts; third, "that the silver coins of the United States" (including, of course, Ihe silver dollar) "shall be a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exeeedfnj f," tad lourtb, m mipgr pimj t'.hi eleenng baiancee amorig themselve.
