that ’it is the pi.rpo.se of this article to

Atkfnson says that the advocates of what
Is catl-d bimetallism have been repeatedly
challenged ’to name a single article of

. From this date on to the crop of IX*S (in.
; wlih h aas th* last that was marketed in

• supply and an advance in the average

j ut . . 'y _ | • cent coupled with an sil
van •* in the average prh*e of over 50 per
| c* id. and ail this In the short period of
about twelve years. The point having
been thus statlri.tally established of an
! enormous increase in supply and of a
, simultaneously im’iortant increase
! price, h vr are we to ac.*ount for the pl;*-
j •»-»m*non? To me the solution is plain, ft
I is a muter of history that the output of
. t?.“ mines of bo«h gold and silver had
I shrunk tn comparative ly small proportions
m th** early years of the <leca.de, IS4O-s’,
and that ai that period the average price
of cotrmohli’ ' had fallen io an exce;w
I • enallv low level as compared with those
I • urr« i \ in the cnrlier nart of the century.
thus Indicating the relative* contraction In
the amount of the metallic legal tender
money of the world and a consequent re
duction in the general level of valuer.
Suddenly there burst ujion the world in
1348 and in the years immediately follow
ing the great output of the mines of Cali
fornia and Australia, aifd coincident with
that generous gift of nature came the
better trade co:.<lltiuns that manifested
themselves through a rise In the general
level of values, as is so clearly set forth In
the index numbers of the late Dr. Adolf
Soetbeer, of Augustus Sauerbeck and of the
1/ondon Economist. This Increase in the
supply of metallic legal tender money is
my Folution of the phenomenon of rapidly
Increasing supplies of cotton accompanied
by an almost as rapfd increase in its value
•luring t4iu in nod between 1847-43 and
MO-tiu.
Currency ( on(rtn’t»— Prices l-'nll.
“Continuing my argument 1 shall now
contrast the supply and price of cotton in
the season IM4-94 with the supply and price
in the season us 1333-60. W’e have seen
that the total supply in 18TA-QU was 6,71U,WK)
bal< «, as against 3,€*7.<«W bales in 1347-48,
while the average price had risen from
4 28-ltV |»ence to G <l-l<>o pence. In 1893*94
the supply had r:s«*n to H,€o9,(kM) bales, as
against G,7lG.tii«i in thus showing an
increased supply of nearly 73 per cent.
Meanwhile, however, the average price
had declined from G Gl-1 M pence in 1859-GO
to 4 pence in IS9G-M, w hile as be
tween 1847-48 and 18j9-G0 the price had risen
from I 2b-l“0 pence to G 61-109 pence. Let
us then compare the two positions. We
find that as between 1847-48 and Ivzi-GO, a
period of twelve years, the supply in
creased nearly S 3 p r cent and the average
price advance*! over 30 per cent, while be

while, however, the prices of 1893-91 Show ;
a decline of A l»r <eir, as compared with '
those of 1859-tilt, and those of 1894-95 would i
Show a .I’ cline of over 5u per eent. while |
tfi.ee of 1839 <» show ed a gain of over W
~.cent <m i lose of 1847-18. The solution I
of the lat er problem is that the contrae
tiun in the volume of the metallic legal
tend, r money ot the world, as brought
ai.out by the practical demonetization of
silver throughout the world, has produced
a decline in values generally. Therefore,
if we could have judged the period of |
1559-W to IW.-9I by the light of the past, ,
say from what t’wtk place between i
IM7-48 and 185'. •*', we might have expected
al h ast stable if not higher had
not the unfortunate legislation of 18.3 in
Euroj*. as well as in th • United States, I
striker! down one of the two gr. at metal
lie moneys of the world and thus contracted
the volume of money of ultimate redemp
tion, with the ntw-essarily accompany ,ng
shrinkage in the general l.vvl of values.
••UeneHevnt” Fall of I’rlees.
"I have thus .-n lenvored to establish the
proposition that the phenomenon of ad
vancing pr.c s in the e.ri'er period, in the
face of advancing supplies, was accounted
for by the lad of the large additions to
th- supply of money of ultimate redemp
tion brought about by the discovery of the
Ualn'-.r lia and Australian mines, ami fafa
the phenomenon of declining prices in the
latter period, in the face of no greater
relative simply than in the former, is to
be a.eonnt.’l for by the gr at contraction
in th’ u| ;. y of money ot ultimate re
demption - i’lo U'ht abou- by Hi" well
nigh universal demonetisation of silver.
“Having thus disposed, suee. . sfully. as I
think, of Mr. Atkinson’s contention that
causes other than the eontraeiion of the
volume of the money of ultimate re.lemi>-
tion have brought about the decline in the
price of eotton. 1 shall devote merely a
word to what he calls the beneficent fall
in values. 1 think that the farmers nnd
the planters of th" south will hardly agree
with him thr-t this fall is beneficent while
they look on and see their farms ami
plantations sold out for the mortgage
that th" latrl lias be-.n carrying for many
years and which it has been impossible
to l.ft With a Steadily decreasing value
of Its product. Had th. re been pari-passu
with ’ll" dect.ne in the value of the output
of the land a corres-ponding decline In the
fa. " vail." of the mortgage, the beneficence j
in the shrinkage of the value of the pro
ducts of th" lin l might be more apparent
to tho unfortunates who years azo were
fone.l to encumber their property, and
who are now being reduced to beggary or
to the condition of tenants instead of
that of proprietors.
Golal’s Price Ys Flat.
“Mr., Atkinson contends that the question
before'thc country is whether the standard
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA GA., MONDAY. MAY 6, 1890
shall be the present lawful unit, so-calleJ,
I. e„ ‘a dollar made of gold, which Is
worth as much after It Is melted as it
purports to be in the coin, or whether it
shall be of silver or paper forced into
circulation by the fiat of an act of legal
tender. What a singular claim! Is it
not palpable that the value of gold in
the United States is established by the
fact that the United States mint is by
law a buyer of all the goM that may be
offered to it at the rate of <20.67 per ounce
of line gold, and that, therefore, gold bul
lion cannot decline below the mint price,
und further, that therefore gold money is
pro tanto fiat money, being made by law
unlimited legal tender money of ultimate
redemption? Is It not equally true that
the English mint is, under the act of 1616,
a forced buyer of every ounce of standard
gold that is presented to It at the rate of
£3 17 shillings luli pence of full
legal tender In settlement of all debts?
Is It not again equally true that all the
gold offered to the French and German
mints and the mints of all the other na
tions on the continent of Europe that have
since 1873 adopted the gold standard must
be accepted by those various mints and full
legal tender money of ultimate redemption
given In exchange for the same, all of
these various coinages of goM being prac
tically on the same basis? How then
can gold decline below the mint price, the
fiat price as made by law? Who would
s< 11 an ounce of tine gobi in the United
States below J2U.67 when that amount of
legal tender money of ultimate redemption
must be exchanged for It by the mint
of the United States? Likewise, who in
•Great Britain woutd sell an ounce of
standard gold below £3 17 shil-
lings l ( '!i pence when that amount
of legal tender money of ultimate
I redemption must he exchanged for it by
the British mint? Ami th ■ same holds
■ good for the holders of, goM bullion ou tho
I continent of Europe ami elsewhere where
the mints are by law compelled to >x
■ change legal tender money for gold bullion.
! Therefore it is that the world has been
I deluded into the belief that go'M of all
j things on the face of the earth Is un
-1 changeable in value. Why, of course. It
, w ill never change ns measured by itself,
j One might as well expect two yardsticks
* to change or two-bushel measures as
| measured by themselves. Gold and
silver dollars are constantly liken. >1
, by the advocates of the single
gold standard to yardsticks and
1 bushel measures, and if this be true wl y
I not enshrine a single gold dollar in tile
' treasury department ami let tin- I'nit. a
' States have a gold standard without a gold
currency, as was suggest.* 1 by Mr. Ber
tram t'urrle, an English delegate to the
International bimetallic conference in
Brussels in 1892, as a panacea for the evils
afflicting England's great dependeney—ln
dia. It would certainly save this country
form the hysterical spasms that afflict it
I whenever the course of exchange leads to
I shipments ot gold from this country to
I Europe. The only way by which a change
cut be ascertained Is by measuring with
something . Ise. A disable I ship afloat in
the gulf stream would have no apparent
motion, would from day to day la' making
no change in her position, but her officers,
through the instrumentalities of the sex
tant. would from day to day clearly as
certain that her position was changing
every minute, owing to the operation of
' invisible, but not. therefore, less potent
causes. So it is with gold bullion and gold
money measured by one another; under
the operation of human legislation they
1 do tint and cannot show any change, but
' measured by comparison with the great
mass of the other products of man's in
dustry they both show great changes, and
those changes are, and have been for
many years, disastrous to the mass of
humanity.
Swindled by the Gold Dollar.
' “But it has become the fashion with the
I advocates of the single gold standard to
speak of silver money as something that
I is debased and therefore unfit for the
' purposes of legal tender. In what way
■ has this debasement been brought about
air I in what way does It manifest itself?
Will they claim that any change in the
chemical composition or physical struc
ture of silver bullion has taken place since
1873 by which this handmaiden of gold as
a money metal has been relegated to the
position of the baser metals? 1 hardly
think so. On the contrary, silver bullion
today is doubtless the same chemically and
physically that it was thousands of years
ago and the fall In its commere.al value
as measured by gold, is due entirely to
tlie effects of human legislation. As far
as the debasement of coined money,
whether of gold or sliver. Is concerned,
the less that th" advocates of th.’ single
gold standard say the better, and for the
simple reason that no sliver dol
lar has, since the act ot 1792,
conui'.tad less than 371‘4 grains
ot fine silver, while the gold currency ot
the country now contains 23 22-109 gra ns
of tine gold to the dollar, while prior to
the aet of 1831 It contained 21 75-100 grains,
a difference of about 6 per cent, out of
whi. ii confiding creditors must have been
swindled according to the jargon ot the
day. But, strange to say, we see but
little reference to this change In the gold
money in any of the effusions of the single
gold standard writers.
Overprotlnetlon Argiiiii.-nt Exploded.
•’Coming now to the question as to why
silver was discarded as a money metal
by the so-called civilized nations in 1873,
the reason is given that It was on account
of over-production, and this assertion has
been so industriously circulated that the
great majority of people really believe that
the assertion is true and that th" fact ot
th" over-production is sufficient cause for
the great decline in the gold price of
silver since its demonetization. Let us
examine the question very earefulh . Ac
cording to the figures given by the director
ot the mint it appears tna. tn- ..oi. ■ s
production ot gold between 1721 and 1870
was 216,0n0,0i)0 ounces, and that tho worl’.’s
production of silver during the same time
was 3,337,000,000 ounces, thus showing tha);
the production of silver relatively to gold
during this period of 150 years was in the
ratio of about 16 to 1. I luring all this
long period the ratio of the price of
silver to gold varied as between 11 14-100 in
1760 to 16 25-100 in ISIS, fluctuations hardly
more serious than we have seen in recent
years in the price of demand sterling
drafts on London, considering the condi
tion of Europe when those fluctuations
took place. <lf course, 'during this long
period there were great fluctuations in the
relative output of the mln's of gold and
silver, the details of which would be too
burdensome for an article of this nature;
suflice it to say, however, that as between
1780 and 1820, a period of forty years, during
which the'operations of the American and
French mints were in full force, the
world's output of gold was 20,K32,000 ounces,
and its output of silver was 1,026,561,00 C
ounces, or In the ratio of nearly 50 to 1,
und still the lowest ratio against silver in
this period was 16 25-100 in 1813. In the
quinquennial period of 1871-75 the output
of silver was as compared with that of
gold about In the ratio of It to 1, as against
16 to 1 for the 150 years between 1721 and
1870, and as against 50 to 1 in the forty
years between 1780 and IS2O. And still,
strange to say, this was the perlcrd that
was selected in which to strike down
silver on account of its overproduction
relatively to that of gold. The produc
tion of silver from 1871 to 18'33 lias been
2,166,600,000 ounces and that of gobi 127.000,
(100 ounces, or in the ratio of about 17 to 1.
but the ratio of price has fallen from
10 25-100 in 1813, at a time when the pto
duction was about 50 to 1. to 26 49-100,
when the production was about 17 to 1.
Can anything, then.be clearer than that the
decline in the price of silver is absolutely
due to its banishment from the mints and
its deprivation of the imperial function
of unlimited legal tender money of ulti
mat ! ri demptlon. No inherent vice has
been shown in the metal and its apparent
debasement is due to humin legislation,
an.l to that aloue. Can tills be more clear
ly demonstrated than by the course of the
market when, um er the action of the
Indian council closing the Indian mints
Io free coinage, silver fell in ten days
in June, IVI3, from :«■* pence to 30 pence
per <»un< •, or over 20 per cent, and the
ratio was . h inged from 21 33 10) to 3143-I'o,
a change greater than had tai:n place in
centuries; and will any advocate of the
single gold standard assort that this radi
cal change i.i those tew 'lays of June,
ISM, was brought about by increased pro
duciion or cheapen, d methods? 1 think not.
A•. t:> Kiitlo.
"A great many so-called bimetallists
how. ver, tell us that they arc perfectly
willing to open tlie mints to free coinage
provided the amount of silver in the dollar
will always se.l for its bullion value in
gobi. 'l'his is keeping the word of promise
to the ear and breaking it to the hope. A
legal ratio will eith-r keep the relative
price of gobi and s lver . table or it will
not, and if the it gal ratio does not keep
the price stable there will be no silver
currenc., for if the ratio established
at. say 30 to 1. ail silver coms will cease
to bo legal tender it the legal ratio drop.'
to :3 to I. and if the legal ratio rises to
27 to 1 ill silv< r coins will seek the melt
ing pot to b • corned at the lower ratio. So
that if the establishment of a legal ratio
dot s not make the pr.ee stable we will
have no silver currency, and if the estab
lishment of su.li a ratio Moes make the
р. stat>.e what d.lference does it n ike
if we re -establish the old ratio oi It. to I or
ad >!>t the one n >v. existing in the markets
of the world that has been brought about

THE TWO COVrESTAXTS.
Governor Turney T'nlks I pon the Mt
mitlon u« He Sees It.
While all this has been going on In
Nashville the people of Tennessee have
been watching developments with fhai ,n ”
terest to bo expected of those who hate
always delighted in warm polities. A peo
ple whose grandfathers caught Inspiration
from the hot-headed Andrew Jackson and
whose fathers have been stirred up by
tho demagogic appeals of Andrew John
son or the. brimstone enthusiasm of Wil
liam G. Brownlow cannot fail to feel like
the petrel In the storm -at home, and
anxious for tho contrary winds to lash each
other with increasing fury.
Governor Turney Tnlks.
A correspondent of The Constitution talk
ed to both Governor Turney and Mr.
Evans before the vote was taken. _
“The evidence justifies my contest, said
Governor Turney, w hen seen tn the ex- j
ecutive office. "Tile democrats ot n
enssee, ever since 1876. have b- n engaged
In the work ot removing the ballot trout
corrupting influences. The state cons: tu
tion imposes a poll tax upon certain classes
of citizens for the purpose of building up
a school fund. The counties In East Ten
nessee which have been tight ng this tax
receive large sums from other counties
under it In excess of what they contribute.
To make the collection of this tax more
certain and at the same time to make a
qualification for suffrage the constitution
anil the legislature have made the pay
ment ot that tax a prerequisite for vot
ing Strange as it may appear, tho re
publicans of this state, with Mr. Evans as
their most active propagandist, have
fought these laws at every point. In the
ciuniwign leading to tho election of IS.II
Mr. Evans, a candidate for governor on
the repu illcan ticket accentuated tins tight
on the poll tux law, not by carrying it in
to court and having it declared uncon
stitutional, if such were the fact, but by
advising th" people to set it aside by
force, in voting regardless of the exis
tence of the law and advising such judges ,
of election as were of his way of think
inir nnt to require the exhibition or the
poll tax receipt. In this kind of tactics
he was largely aided by a daily newspaper
in Chattanooga, which seemed to take its
vue for him. Thus W were presented
with the spectacle of an organized
attempt to override the law and to violate
the suffrage by voting men who had no
right to vote.. It naturally followed that
thise violations ot law were more success-
ful and! more flagrant in counties in
fluenced by Mr. Evans's friends than in
those not influenced by them, who were
-:st as strenuously abiding by the law.
returns of the elect on disclosed the
fact that through the aid of votes ob
tained by overriding the law Mr.
Evans had a small majority. It rested
with the legislature to say whether a. de
liberate assault upon the ballot box shouM
be sanctioned. 1 presented to that body
my grounds of complaint, declaring m;.;
belief that a scrutiny of the vote would
show that I was elected. The work of
the committee now out justifies my con
tention and I am certain that the legisla
ture. representing the sovereign will of
the people, acting under its otncial respon
sibility, will decifire that 1 have been
elected governor of Tennessee.”
If Not Governor VVhnl la He?
Conuatee Evans, in defining his posi
tion. says:
“I am not the contestant; Mr. Peter Tur
ney commenced this thing. 1 ant the con
testee; 1 was elected. The returns oi the
election of Novemta-r 6th last, made by
the returning officers of the ninety-six
counties, showed that I had the highest
number of votes, and Tennessee's constitu
tion says that the candidate having the
highest number ot votes ‘shall be govenor,
and being a law-abiding citizen, it is quite
humiliating under the circumstances to be
coniiielled to disregard the constitution of
Tennessee, and not to act as governor when
legally entitled to the office. I am not re
sponsible for this farce, neither am I re
sponsible for the cost that will attend the
"I find that lam engaged In an unequal
contest. The entire power of the state
government is arrayed against me. So
far it is true, tho militia has not been call
ed into requisition, but If there is any other
portion of the machinery or paraphernalia
of the state government that has not been
pressed into service, 1 am not advised. 1
am told that not only the coal oil inspec
tors but the entire state revenue depart-
ment, the appointee- of the comptroller,
the railroad tax as;.--sois, and even the
state superinten .• :it of public srhools, have
übandoned their ofli.s and ofli< ial duties
and are out in the fl. bl in the capacity of
attorneys for Vontf slant Turney, aiding

of our cause, strictly within the limits of
the law and th" constitution.”
The Obstacles in Turney’s Way.
XVhvn Governor Tumey offered for a
second term last summer it was with the
consciousness that the exercise ot h's
duties had estranged many voters—the
necessary penalty of a party in power.
The republicans had nominated Hon.
Henry C!lay Evans, of (.mitt mooga, who
seemed to fulfill the ideal of those who
wanted a business rather than a senti
mental administration. Evans could talk
about pig iron. • 'al mines, threshing ma
chines and the like, while Turney's mind
linger' d among the spirits of those fallen
braves who went out with him from Win
chester in the spring days of 1961. To the
credit of these young men, it must be said
that they did not vote for Evans, for his
vote is only 4,ix») greater than was the
republican vote of 1892. the increase com
ing probably fr m the scattering votes
previously given to other parties, but they
staid at home, ami helped, .among other
causes, to make the demo"ratic vote fall
23,000 short of its total in 1892.
There Was Dismay in Camp.
When the returns began to come in on
the night of the 6th of November, the loss
of 3,W) votes in Shelby county pointed to
the defeat of the democratic ticket. Then
Davidson rei«rted a loss of 1.30). to which
other counties added losses which made
the calculators concede the state to Evans
bv midnight. The falling off could not be
explained by the off-year the ry. because
the republicans polled their full vote of
the presidential year, and went it 4.6 i»
better. The natural caus -s which would
■ keep democratic indiffcrents away from
I the liolls would exercise the same percent
age of influence on the republicans, and it
was this fact that suggested an inquiry
into th" character of the vote.
Mr. Cherry, the managing editor of The
Nashville American, which has stood up
sparely for the democratic eontent'on in
the present struggle, thus tells the story:
“The American, in the interest of honest
elections, and of the good name of the state,
has fought the attempt to force upon the
state a government founded upon fraudu
lent votes, cast deliberately and in pursu
ance ot advice from those who were to be
beneficiaries. Tile dem wracy, being in pow
er. is charged with the enfmeemt nt of the
laws, which is a much harder task than
fighting In opposition without responsibil ty
for words spoken. The poll tax law lias
been enforced long enough fcr the repub
licans to have tested it tn the courts, the
only proper way to have a law declared un
constitution il. It is the privilegs- of any
citizen to challenge the constitutionality
of laws passed, but it is the courts to
