The Now York Times snys it seems
not to be generally understood that The
silver dollar for which Jones and Bogy
have been nrSning Is to weigh only
399.9 grains, or fifteen and q half times
M much rs the gold dollar. At yestcr-
d"ya quotations gold md silver coin
would be worth two cents less than the
gTeciihnck dollar II we adopt the
Bogy-Joncs dollar. we shall nave a
double standard, il is true but If we
compare our money with that coined
during the thirty-three yenrs of this
century, We shnll find that both our
gold md silver dollars have materially
diminished in weight. Among cnlight-
ened nations it hns long been held as
Infamous to reduce the weight of coins
while We continue to call them by the
snmo nnmesI Cam either wisdom or
honesty of Legislation which lehds TO
such a result BIZ vindicatcd?r Y.r Un:i
