The True Value Of a Gree n back.

The popular mind il abused to great
extent, with . talse idea Of the true value
in gold Of our present circulating medi-
um. Many persons who have noticed
gold qnotcd at, for instance, 60 per cent.
premium. were of the opinion, probably,
that ,beir-dollar greenback was worth in
gold jnet as many cents less dollar ~
the gold was quoted above. That this
notion is erronsoas 10 easily proven. A
gold dollar piece, when worth 60 per
cent. more than q dollar Treasury note,
is evidently worth l6O lOOths OF the lat
ter which is worth 1OO.l6Oths Of the
gold dollar, or 624 cents in gold. Con.
sequentlJ with one dollar ia Treasury
paper, you can purchase 62A cents in
gold. The proof Of this is that 621
cents plus 60 per cent Of ITSELF or 871
cente, is equal to one dollar. We think
this explanation will considerably enrich,
in their estimation, many persons who
think that when gold is at 60 per cent.
premium, their dollar in treasury curreu.
cy is worth only 40 ceuts in the precious
metal. The following table, showing
the precise value Of paper in gold. with
the latter at various points Of premium,
