Scottish Noble Who Is of Ancient
Lineage.
The new Knight of the Thistle, the
earl of Crawford and Balcarres, who
fills the vacancy in that honorable
order caused Ivy the death of Lord
Mimic, is the head of the house of
Lindsay, an ancient and powerful fam
lily, who we're in possession of considers
able territory both in England and
Scotland as early as the eleventh cen
tury. The name seems to have died
out in England about the time of Ed
ward H., after which the Lindsays
were no longer summoned to parlia-
ment, but they flourished greatly in
the sister kingdom, and different mem
bers of the family had been conspicu-
Gus, not only for their wealth and
power, but for the distinction with
which they have occupied offices of
great public Importance. Their great
est and most powerful representative
was David, the fifth earl of Crawford,
who in the latter half of the fifteenth
century was keeper of Berwick, high
admiral of Scotland, and lord cham ber-
lain. He was created duke of Mont
rose, dignity not assumed by his sue.
cessors. The Lindsays were stanch ad.
herents of the Stuarts, and Ludovic,
the sixteenth earl, fought for .he king
at Marston Moor. The present holder
OF the title is the twenty-sixth earl of
Crawford and thirty fourth Lord l. ind.
say. He is an Z. r. $ has been pres
ident of the Royal Astronomical so
ciety, and has distinguished himself
more in science than In politics. III.

5 The Gold and Silver RATA

Senators Stewart of Nevada. Hans.
brough of North Dakota, and Repre-
sentatives Springer Of Illinois, Bland
Of Missouri, and Dalzen Of rennsyi.
vania discuss this question in The North
American Review. Most Of these gen.
tlemen are in favor. in case anything
comes Of the proposed international
silver conference, Of adopting the Euro
pean ratio of gold to silver in place Of
ours--that is to say, taking l5,s ounces
Of silver to l of gold, instead Of 10 ounces
Of silver to Of gold. AZ called for In our
present standard.
Facts of historical interest are TO
be CLEANED from the discussion In
The North American. Representative
Bland goes back in our history CEN
tury to l702. In that year our congress
fixed the value OF gold at fifteen times
that Of silver-adopted a ratio Of fifteen
to one. In 1908 France, in fixing the
relative values Of gold and silver in her
bimetalic standard, decreed that gold
should stand to silver as l5k 10 l.
thus fixing higher value on gold than
the American standard did. This ratio
Of l6H to I was practically adhered to
in Europe until Germany demonetised
silver in 1873
By laws passed BY the United States
congress in 1884 and 1887. however, our
standard Of the ratio Of silver TO gold
became as l8 to l. This was not
brought about by changing the amount
of silver in the dollar, however, but
by diminishing the amount Of pure
gold in the gold dollar. Our silver dol
lar Of today, "416 grains Of standard
silver" oontains exactly the same
amount Of pure silver. s7lk grains, that
it did hundred years ago, when the
nation first adopted the himetallic
standard.
