GOLD AND SILVER As VALUES.

The New York Grdphi", in combating
the idea that the world should pay homage
to gold as the standard of values, says:
Fir.t--Four times as many people In the
world use silver as gold, and hundred times
as many people handle silver coins as handle
gold coins.
Sccond-More gold than silver is mined
every year, tho excess being more than S25,
UD0.OO1
Thrl-Gnld Is lar more luctuating and un
stable than silver.
Four.h-rho worlds production Of gold dur
ing this century has varied from ;.3,OOO,OOO a
year to SlB3OOOOOO u year while the worlds
product Of silver has always been between
2o,pOO,OO) ant 50, ,UUlOyO u year.
Ftth-AuyJody with Il tin pan can find
gold, but silver is Ha,sed under grcnt noun
tains, and IN such cumbiuati iOns that it can be
produced only by the all Of expensive ma.
chinery; therefore, the annual harvest Of silA
yer Is sure 10 he much the ,tcadier.
SiXth-'Ihc action OF Germany has given
gold, temporarily, u Fictitious value, higher
than the market price Of labor (which Is the
ultimate standard Of values, hut the great
Grluaud for silver in the world Is sure soon tu
ra.ystubli,h relations, and there is more likely
to hu 4 "glut' Of gold than o. silver In the
world within the next thrc, years.
