FREE SILVER COINAGE.

The free coinage men in the house EVIL
IDENTITY expect 10 make q stubborn stand
for the ratio of % to /. The minority of
the senate finance committee have re-
ported bill for che free coinage of silver
dollars of 464.4 grains. This Is at the ratio
OF rs to 1. Senator Vest has introduced a
bill for free coinage at the ratio OF 20 to l.
He proposes that the silver dollar shall
contain sic grains of standard silver. and
the half, quarter and dime proportionate
amount, and that all present silver coins
shall be recoincd into money OF the new
ratio.
This compromise dollar would bs heavier
and bulkier than the Bland dollar. but
with silver at "A cents an ounce IL would
be worth IL cents. when the Bland dollar
would bring rs bullion 81 cents.
The Sherman law will never be replaced
by free coinage measure of any descrip-
ton. The free coinage of 7oAeent dollar
would bring us just rs quickly to a silver
basis as the free coinage of lighter dollar
Every man who has put by little for a
rainy day would find his savings cut down
80 per cent. A man who has q pension
of si2 month would be paid in silver. OF
paper based on silver, that would realize
him only what is equivalent 10 50 month
in the present money of the country.
This Is the proposed compromise. II
will never he enacted. for the president
will surely veto IL, aud the Sherman law
will be endured rather than free silver in
any shape except that of international
agreement

President Cleveland is reported BY
United States Senator Gray as q sincere
bi-metalIIst, bat he insists upon ''uncon-
ditional repeal or nothing" This posi-
ton Is not only perfectly consistent with
bi-metailism, but as practical bl-metaiiiss
President Cleveland could take no other
position. President Cleveland ss prac-
teal bi-TnetalIist will not consent to the
free coinage Of silver by the United States
alone, whether on the present ratio or on
any other.
President Cleveland knows that indie
pendent bi-mesallism on the part OF the
United States would only result In driv-
ing one metal or the other out of circula-
ton. II silver were freely coined. one OF
two things wonid happen; either silver
would remain below par in gold. or it
would rise 10 or above par in gold. Ii 1t
should remain below the coming rate. so
that dollars cheaper than gold dollars
could b obtained without limit by holders
Of silver, the supply of such cheaper dol
lars would inevitably drive gold out of use
as money. But il silver should rise to or
above the coming rate. there would be no
inducement TO coin il. since the bullion
could be sold at once for gold or paper dol
lars vastly more convenient IN use than
the silver coins. In that case there would
be no silver coined, and that metal would
cease to be used as money.
The New York 7riJuas recites these
financial facts and says:
This 10 inevitable while the disuse of
silver by other nations. or its use at
ratio different from that of the United
States. continues to rule the worlds mar
ket for bullion. This country can no
more prevent by legislation the foreign
silver markets from being controlled by
the production and demand than it can by
legislation nix the worlds price for wheat
or cotton. No one nation can make
money out of metal, for in the best and
broadcast sense money Is only that which Is
accepted in the worlds commerce as the
standard of value
1T ought 10 be plain to everybody. and
is plain 10 President Cleveland, as his lat
est message shows, that free coinage by
the United States would only hinder. and
that most powerfully, any agreement OF
nations about the coinage and use OF silver.
As long as this country undertakes to bear
all the load of difficulty and peril by keep
ing open an artificial market for large
part OF the worlds production of silver. so
long other nations will wait to profit by
our blunder. When this country stops
that performance, and thus forces other
nations 10 bear their part in setting the
saver question, there will at once come
into operation most powerful motives for
agreement by mutual concessions.
THE man who urges or consents TO free
coinage Of silver by the United States
alone cannot be in truth bi-metaliist.
His whole effort Is hostile TO the use of
the two metals as money, and is calculated
to prolong the monetary warfare between
nations, In which the enormous advantage
rests with those who compel the settle
ment of all accounts in gold or its ac-
cepted representative.

rHr CHANGE OF RATIO.

The advocates OF free silver seem dis
posed TO fix upon ratio of 20 to 1 as the
utmost concession they are willing to
make 10 the demands OF the sound money
party. The standard silver dollar of 4i2ls
grains Is today worth IS cents. To make a
silver dollar worth what It purpor,s TO be
the ratio Of silver TO gold should be ~ TO

70 make this concession. because IL gives
