I only have one minute remaining. When they buy our manufactures in China they pay in their money. and their money comes in not as coin but as a commodity. It is worth exactly what the silver in it is worth. and if you place a duty on it you decrease the purchasing power of China and Mexico and India of the manufactures and farm produicts of the United States. Furthermore. you depreciate the currency of silver countries when you make their money worth less at the ports of this country. thereby depreciating the cost of production of those countries and increasing the competition of the cheapest kind of pauper labor with American manufacture. This proposition has no merit whatsoever. and as I stated before. it is up to this House to save the deluded silver miners from themselves.
