The one thing necessaryn order to maintain the parity 1s tournish a demand large enough toutilize silver which wili come to themints. That Mexico has failed to dothis is no proof that the United Stateswould do so. It is immaterial howmany or how few nations have openmints, provided there are sufficientopen mints to furnish a monetary de-mand for all the gold and silver avail. |able for coinage.oIn reply to the argument that im-proved machinery hus lessened thecost of producing silver, it is sufficientto say that the same is true of theproduction of gold, and notwithstand-ing that geld has risen in value. As amatter of fact the cost of productiondoes tot determine the value of theprecious metals except as it may affectthe supply.

So longas there isa monetary demand sufficie..tto take at a fixed,mint priece all thegold aud silver produced, the cost. ejoIn the, early part of the presentcentury the annual p.oduction of silverwas worth at the coinage ratio aboutthree times as much as the annual pro-duction of gold, wheregs scon after1849 the annual production of gold be-came worth about three times as much |as the annua] |production of silver; and yet, owing to |the maintenance of the bimetalic stand. |ard, these enormous changes in relativeproduction had but a slight effect uponbe true when we again establish a mintprice for silver and leave no surplussilver upon the market to drag downthe price of bullion.Under bimetallismsilver bullion will be worth as much assilver coin, just as gold ballion is nowworth as much as golil coin, and webelieve that a silver dollar will be worthas much as a gold dollar.oThe charge cf repudiatin cocmewith poor grace from these who areseeking to add to the weight of exist-ing debts by legislation which make,}4money dearer, ancwho conceal theiidesigns against the general welfareunder the euphonious pretense thatthat they are upbolding public crediiand national honor.~ooTnTanswer to the charge that golawill go abroad, it must. be remberedthat no gold can leave this country un-til the owner of the gold receives so me-thing in return for it which he wouldrather have.

A shortageof one-half in the silver money of thewor'd would mean a. shrinkage of one-fourth in the tetal volume of metallicmoney. This contraction by increasingthe value of the dollar, would increasethe debts of the world two bil-lions of dollars, and decrease.st'll morethe value of the property of the worldas measured by dollars. Besides thisimmediate result, such a change in theratio would) permanently increase theavpual vaddition to the worldTs supplyof mouey, because the annuel silverproduct, when cione�,� into dollars twice |us large, would make only half as manydollars.oThe people of the Uiited Stateswould be mjured by a chapge in theratio, not because they produce silverbut because they own property and owedebts, and they eaunot afford to thusdecrease the value of their property orinerease the burden of their debts.oIn 1878 Mr. Carlisle said: ~Man-kind will be fortunate indeed it the|aunval production of gold and silver.oT repeat this assertion, All of the |gold and silver aunually available torcoinage when converted inty coin at thecoin shall keep pace with the annual increase of population aud industry.Tratio will pot, in my judgement, morethan supply cur immediate needs. Insupporting the act of 1890, known asthe Sherman act, Senater Sherman, onJune the Sth cf that year, said: *On thelaw of February, 1878, the purchase of$2,000,000 worth of silver bullion amonth has by coinage production an-nually an average of nearly $3,000,000"Discipline firm,~GREENVILLE.
