VALUE OF GOLD.

-. Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, in speech
in the House of Representatives last
Saturday said:
ave give free coinage OF gold be-
cause 25.8 grains of gold, nine tenths
tine, is worth just as much before it
is coined as after it is put into a coin
called dollar"
Worth as much in what? The
worth of anything cannot be ostab-
lished except by comparison with
something else, Silver is to-day
worth lO9A cents per ounce compared
with gold; but upon what basis DIES
the gentleman estimate tho value of
gold, either coined or uncoined? The
value Of gold dollar coined is based
upon a law of tho United States which
declares that 25.8 grains OF gold, nine
tenths fine, coined into n piece Of
money by United States mint is a
dollar, hence it is the law WI ich
makes that amount Of IN tai dollar,
and the reason that 2h9 grains of un-
coined gold IS worth dollar is solely
on account Of the law which makes
the coinage Of gold free and unlimiCed.
On account of free coinage, and for
no other reason, gold uncoined is
worth the same rs gold coined.
Whenever tho law makes the coin
age Of silver free and establishes the
number Of grains, riae-tenths fine,
which shall constitute dollar,
whether that DO t121s or any other
number, just that mo ment silver I'M
coined will be worth just as much as
silver coined, for the reason that the
holder Of bullion can excl" nge it for
coin at the established rate, as can
now be done with gold. The state
ment Of Mr.. Dingley is simply ridic-
ulous, and shows to what straits the
enemies OF free coinage arc pI assed.
Instead of giving free co mage of gold
because 25.8 grains of gold ere worth
as much before as after it is coined,
the opposite is true; and the 25.9
grains Of Ii lcoined gold is worth
dollar solely because Of free coinage,
and anyone of Ordinary Judgment can
see 1t, and, if he be honest, will &C
knowledge it. We arc surprised that
some free col age mem or of the
House did no. call Mr.. Diugley's
attention to the foolishness of his
prODosit,O
