FREE SILVER.

Many an enterprising young
debater is asking just what is
meant by the term free silver.
Well, free silver, as is understood
by those who are advocating it,
means the privilege of taking silver
bullion to the United States mints
and having it made into standard
coins free Of charge. This is what
is done with gold now. But under
the present silver law the owner
of silver bullion sells it to the
government at so much an ounce.
The government pays for the
silver and either coins it into
dollars or issues silver certificates
that represent its value. This is
the present difference in the bases
on which gold and silver coinage
stand before the law.
