THE SILVER DOLLAR AGAJJ

THE SILVER DOLLAR AGAIN
The Arkansas Traveller in its issue of
the 21st, goes to the root of the silver
dollar question in about as terse and
concise manner as the subject can be
treated. The editor copies a recent
article from the RedublIcan on the sub
iect and then proceeds to anihilate 1t as
follows:
The NEws invites US to discuss its propo-
sittJn that the silver dollar Is worth OnIV ~
cents. To save time and space, and state the
question before the Walkup trial begins, we
make TINS proposition: We wIil give the
silver. on this basis, that q gold dollar Is
worth II cents more than q silver dollar and
II ne Will Keep on trading that way lust one
day, we will concede that ne believes what he
says. II he insists, when 1t comes to ex-
changing dollars. that he must have gold
have TO conclude that he either does not
know what he 10 trying 10 talk about. and in
space TO discuss the silver dollar Question
with him. Put up. or shut up.-EmpOriA Re-
publican
The readers of newspaper who are
fed with such mental pabulum as the
above are to be piIied. The statement
Of the NEWS that the silver dollar Is
worth 10 cents Can be worked out by
an ounce. The silver dollar contains
5l216 grains one tenth OF which is alloy.
THIS leaves BIZ grains of pure silver,
which at the price above given is worth
10 cents within q small fraction. The
argument OF the Republican that q
standard dollarI cIrculates for It's fiat
value Is no argument at all. Gold is
the standard of value, and our fraudu-
lent silver currency Is kept in circula-
ton and supported by the superior
metal. But let the enforced coinage of
silver be continued few years longer
| and added TO the immense boards of that
metal now lying idle in the treasury
vaults; the result of this accumulation
would be an approximation of the
amount OF our silver currency TO that
OF the gold coin; then the latter metal
would be boarded and silver would be-
come the standard of values. This
would cause an initiation ana apply a
dangerous strain to our national credit
| coin worth 10 cents would be made TO
do duty for one worth q hundred cents
and the working man who takes a dollar
70 spend on Saturday night could get 79
cents worth of commodities for IT, The
20 cents of Intrinsic value IN the coin he
expends would purchase him such nee
essaries as he wants, and the 81 cents OF
nat value would escape in the shape oil
imitation.
This is q matter that comes home &c
the business and bosom OF every work.
