Free silver coinage means that "any
man who has silver bullion can take or
send ID 10 the mint and get Tor IL silver dol
lars at the rate CT si.2g29 for every fine
ounce. If he has 1000 ounces, which now
cost in the market $3.50, he can get for his
bullion 81 ,292 so in silver coin. or paper
dollars OF the same amount. If he owes
81 200 for gold which he borrowed without
specific promise to pay gold back, he can
buy $3.50 worth OF silver bullion. discharge
his debt and have about s93 in legal tender
coins left on hand.
Free coinage at different ratio would
mean only that the mint would be Obliged
10 deliver TO the holder of the bullion a
different number of silver dollars for /, 900
ounces of bullion. The present rate, COM
monty called 10 to 1. is In fact shade less,
because 4i2Iz grains of standard silver are
put into the silver dollar under existing
law, and 25 $40 grains of gold into the
gold dollar; that Is. a grain Of gold is
valued in coming at about 1899 grains OF
silver. change of the ratio would mean
putting more or less silver into the silver
