Conditions Before 1873
' ' The free silver Bourbons, ' ' says the New York World, ' 'want to 'restore the conditions prior to 1873. ' Let them begin by increasing the price of silver from 68 cents an otmce to $1.30. Then perhaps they will bury out of sight the 400,000,000 and more of silver dollars coined since 1878. The next step would be to seal up the great sitver mines that have more than doubled our current supply of the white metal. After all this is done 'free coinage ' could do no harm. But the oonditions must be restored bef ore the country can safely go ahead on the Bourbon theory. ' '
