Convinced the Silver Standard In a Fail¬ ure—To Staud With Other Nations* In spite of tho warning of ailvdrite statesmen (ho prosperous republic of Chile has abandoned the cheap silver basis for her currency and lias adopted tho gold standard. Chile is one of tho most enlightened and progressive of tho SoutTi American countries, ami her ac¬ tion is an evidence that slio has found tho silver standard to bo a failure uwl wishes to l>e in accord with tho major it.y of the great commercial nations with which sho trades. As all her outstand¬ ing loans, both principal and interest, are payable in gold the change in the standard will causo but little confusion, and financial interests are already ad¬ justed to the new basis. While Chile adopts (ho gold standard of value, the same as iu this country, sho wjn continffo the use of silver, and the banks will lie authorized to issue paper currency somewhat on the plan of our national bunk system. Only as much silver will be coined us can be main¬ tained at a parity with gold. The result of the change will lie to give the busi¬ ness interests of the country a stable financial system, which will dontless be of great advantage to it in its competi¬ tion with silver standard countries. It is now in order for our silverites to denounce the horrible crime of 1H95, by which the wicked goldbugs secretly de¬ stroyed tho prosperity of Chile. SILVER AND PRICES. Wages, Industrials and Farm Products Ad VRuce While Silver Declines, Wo venture to put in the form of a brief table some facts given by The Financial Chronicle a8 to (ho connection between tho price of silver aud the prices of staple commodities. They make au effective answer to tho constant assertion of the silver inflationists that “low” silver gavo tjiy low values to all products and that there could be no re¬ covery except through, higher prices for silver: Price of April 1. June 14. Silver....... ......BSt.p;. Cotton....... ••••*/»*»» ...... 6%o. 7«. Wheat....... ......flC^n. 80<!. It will be seen that, while there was no material chango in silver, and what change there was was slightly down¬ ward, cotton advanced a little ovpr 19 por cent aud wheat a little over 32 per cent. These changes, as wo all know, have been accompanied by increased activity iu trade and manufactures and an ad¬ vance In wages. So that we have, ps The Chronicle aptly romnrku, “very substantial gains to the factory, to the foundry, to the wage earner and to the farmer, without an atom of help from silver.”—Now York Times. “Free Coinage Dissected.” The sound currency committee of the Reform club has just issued a' short pamphlet entitled “Free Coinage Dis¬ sected. 1 1 It puts the case against free coinage in the clearest possible light, aud the language is so simple and the sentences so short that no ordinary me-' clianio or farmer need have any difficulty iu understanding the diseussiou. Ex Congressman John Do Witt Warner, the author of the pamphlet, dissects in turn each of the principal claims of the froe coinage advocates. Many excellent answers to “Coin's Financial School” have been written, but heretofore there has been no firs t class pamphlet to put into the hands (f the millions who have not read “Coin’s Financial School," but who are inter¬ ested iu the currency discussion, and who will be glad to get in this con¬ densed form not only the principal ob¬ jections to “Coin ’.s” book, but to the whole question of free coinage at 10 to 1. The pamphlet is well adapted for gen¬ eral distribution and merits a wide cir¬ culation by the friends of honest money iu all sections of the country.
