Mr. Cleveland will never sign a bill for the free coinage of silver to afford them relief. lie does not regard it as a calamity that the prices of wheat and cotton. the staple farm products of this country for export. have fallen so low that there is no profit in their production. He makes no account of the fact that silver has the same purchasing power in India and other Asiatic countries that it ever possessed. and that 412 grains of silver will purchase the same anmount of wheat or cotton today in all countries retaining the silver standard as it would before that metal was excluded from our mints. and that the prices of wheat and cotton have declined and must decline in the markets of Europeand America in exact accordance with the fall of the price of silver. The fhet that silver can be bought in this country at 30 per cent. discount and exchanged in India at par is immaterial to the President. It makes no difference to him that the wheat bought in India with silver costs the importer in European markets 30 per cent. less than wheat bought in America with gold. and that therefore India wheat is fast supplanting wheat from America. and that importers of wheat from America are forced to sell in the Liverpool market at prices fixed by India wheat.
