the question remains whether we should
not return to 1t.
There Is another phase Of the ques-
tion. We constantly hear Of the 20 cent
dollar. Probably more honest, sensible
people have been deceived by that clap
trap than by any of the other sophistical
dlatrlbes against the old American stan
dard. It ls said we should put in 80
cents worth more of silver, and hoist
our silver dollar to the enhanced price
of gold. II this was done and silver
again rose to Its old ratio Of 16 to l, the
silver dollar would be worth the most.
Would It then be a just monetary policy
to put more gold in the gold coin, and
thus at every disturbance of metallic
value force up the standard to the ad-
vantage of security holders and the
detriment of those who are in debt?
Would 1t be less mischievous to main
tain our standards, which only regulate
within our own country, and force those
who wished to export gold or silver coin
to pay premium on the metal which
happened to be highest? That would
merely be an incident In our foreign ex-
changes.
In this financial, commercial and politi-
cal struggle, where should patriotic
and judicious American monetary policy
stand? The United States produces
nearly one-half Of the annual silver out
put of the world. Practically, we pro-
duce each year nearly sixty millions of
this metal, which has been in all genera
tions and with most people, accepted as
a standard of exchange. We produce
annually from thirty to thirty-eight mil
lion dollars value in gold. The power
of this production in the relative busi-
ness wealth Of the country, and its
strength in obtaining exchange in our
favor, It would be difficult to Over-esti-
mate. It is generally conceded that il
Germany could be induced, or forced by
business necessities, to remOnetlze silver,
there would be no need to change ratios,
unless 1t was to go to the 1515 standard
of the Latin Union. The present busi-
ness condition of Germany seems to indl-
cate the necessity of more popular
monetary system.
As question Of local or internal pOlity,
those who desire q larger volume of
money, and cheaper rate for 1t, will
naturally favor the gold and silver
double standard. The double standard,
If fully maintained with all the credit
the United States could give both metals
in the eyes of the world, would enable
US to float twice as many paper repre-
sentatives Of money. Those who favor
contraction and giving the highest pur-
chasing power to money (which means a
decline In prices,) will favor the single
gold standard OF late the silver ques-
ton has not been treated as purely
economical question, but as a political
one, for Its probable effects in certain
states where real or imaginary interest,
either way, was supposed to exist, the
silver producing states on the one hand
and the cities or states controlling for
eign trade on the other.
1t will be observed that, while there is
no international money, there are two
commodities which cost labor to pro-
duce, but which do not practically bene-

greater demand would be much enhanced
In value. In the struggle going on against
the American double standard, we find
that this hostility is strongest and most
virulent at great ports Of entry or bust
ness cities, that control the international
trade, commercial men and brokers there
preferring, of course, the coin standard
that has the highest commodity value
and has the highest profit for them.
Thus In Aslatic countries, while gold at
present has a commodity value greater
than silver by their accepted standards,
yet both gold and silver are received for
all commodities at the same rate. A
man who has to export gold, however,
is compelled to pay premium for 1t.
II will thus be seen that while we have
no international standard Of money, by
the common consent Of nearly all nations,
through long period of time, gold and
silver, in coin and by weight have been
used In effectlng international exchanges.
Many nations have also had q subsidiary
or domestic small change money Of cop
per and brass, or silver with large alloy.
These constitute merely a local token
coinage, and to this condition 1t is the
fixed purpose of certain interests to re-
duce our silver standard coinage. On q
basis of 1515 to /, silver and gold have
maintained themselves for long period
In commercial history. For the past
three or four hundred years, or since the
European discovery of America, there
have been many variations In commodity
value between gold and silver, as the
production or demand for either in
creased or diminished, and yetif we care
fully measure these changes, and accept
the past as the safest guide for the fu-
ture, he would be a rash man who would
predict that silver at our ratio would re-
main permanently below gold IN the
market, unless the political movement to
discredit the use of silver as money,
among the nations, is continued and is
successful. We must not forget that it
is the use Of both these metals as money
that has given them nearly all the value
they possess.
Practically, to-day, and under modern
financial manipulation, Britain, Ger
many and the United States measure
everything by single gold standard. We
have still, nominally, the old American
double standard, but in point Of fact the
great American coin product, silver,
stands officially discredited; for the gov
ernment, in purchasing and coming,
measures 1t by gold. 1t is for this reason
that the attempt to restore free coinage
on the old standards is 80 vigorously re-
sisted. 1t Is generally believed that the
demonetlzatlon Of American silver In
1873 was accomplished by secret slelght
of hand process. There had certainly
been no public agitation or clamor for II
before that time. Up to that moment
the two metals as equivalents, by the
ratio, held their own. Whether trick
or not, it will be observed that those
who clamor for a single gold standard
have tenaciously fought to retain what
they gained then. AS a consequence
every man or community In debt had
about Is per cent. added to their bur
dens, and the holders Of securities and
notes increased their real value about

however, is fallacy, for the single metal
would not always remain the same as a
commodity when measuring exchanges in
labor, beef, wheat or other property OF
paying debts. This Is the broad, philo-
sophical reason why the majority Of ma
tlOns have this double standard. IL will
not always be SO, but it is assumed that
if one metal suddenly rises above the
other In commodity price, the cheaper
metal, that has not 80 risen, remains
more near an equable price for every
thing else, such as labor, beef, bread or
notes Of indebtedness. These, which are
the real vital elements of exchange, are
In this way more honestly measured.
Paradoxicsl though 1t may at first ap
pear, a double standard Is thus more
stable. One metal checks the fuctua-
tions of the other. 1t may be laid down
as q fundamental maxim of American
finance, that 1t is the duty Of the govern
ment to maintain, as far as possible,
stability in standards as compared to the
articles to buy or sell, or debts. If a
change Ia inevitable, whether that change
to be made Is one of ratios, or in the more
general use of one of the metals, the
change should be made in the interest Of
the debtor and not the creditor class, by
chiefly using the cheaper metal, and all
loss occurring In the inevitable accidents
Of commerce should be entailed on ac-
Cumulated capital. At present the COM
modify price Of gold is higher than silver
In the market Of the world, and higher
than our coin standard ratio. Should
this be reversed, however, as it has been
before, and silver as such commodity
bring Is per cent. more than gold, meas
ured by our standards, the man who
wished to ship it might exclaim to the
man whose note he held for 81 900, "You
shall pay me in silver; / do not want
gold. want an honest dollar" And
he might justly get the answer, "No;
what you want Is the biggest dollar the
thing that can give you the most profit"
There ls no such thing as international
money. There never has been, and
probably never will be. When you cross
the frontier Of a nation, everything sinks
to commodity, whether 1t be gold or
silver coin, merchandise, corn, cotton or
cattle. A modified law of barter obtains.
Certain parties who have more or less
influence In what are called the rates of
exchange, endeavor to shape them, as far
as practicable In their own interests
Leagues and conferences of nations have
existed, trying to obtain uniformity in
money standards. The "Latin Union" ls
an instance. Italy, Spain, France and
Switzerland have by agreement adopted
the ratio 151 { times the amount Of silver
as coin equivalent for gold, which iE
less than the American standard. These
are double standard nations. AuStriH
has single silver standard. England
during the early part of this century had
a double standard, but adopted the
single gold standard. In 1873 Germany
demonetized silver and followed the lead
of England In endeavoring to force the
gold single standard for values. Eng
land, however, maintains the gold and
silver standard In India and some of bel
colonies. If we include the two Americas
