Morrill, argued that to sustain
silver would cost annually one per
cent. for abrasion, while the abra-
sion of gold is one-twentieth of one
per cent. 1t would cost one-four-
tenth more per cent. to coin silver
than gold. TO allow duties to be
paid in silver would be granting a
heavy boon to foreign industry
without any advantageous equiva-
lent. The labor of this country
should be paid in the best money
the world affords. 1t was advisable
to obtain the cooperation Of other
leading nations in fixing upon a
com mon ratio of value between
gold and silver before embarking
upon Independent and final action.
