opened until the League teams play their
first games.

national game been so fiattering, ana

WHATEVER ones wishes, his likes or
dslikes may be; however he may feel
that silver has been conspired against or
Ill treated, the fact is that silver dol
lar is, according to statement issued
by the Mint Bureau of the Treasury, a
SO cent dollar. The statement shows
the value for a series of years, beginning
with 1878, when the value of the silver
dollar was so 9ss. its ratio 1917, value
Of fine ounce of silver 81 2S2 and average
Lonoon price 5s 312 pence. The price
of silver is traced downward each year,
with rise in 1S9O-91, when the silver
is quoted as worth so sO5sS. the ratio
1888 and fine ounce OF silver $1.c47S0.
Further declines are noted in 1892 and
1898 until July last is reached, when the
silver dollar is stated to be worth $0.-
56O52, the ratio % 90, fine ounce Of
silver so. 1907, and the London price
33 eco pence. The basis Of value from
which the figures are made is gold.

WE have read various statements to
the effect that the writer's. though not
approving Of the Silver Purchase bill,
believe that 1t enables the government
TO increase the circulating medium. That
statement shows confusion of ideas as
well as q misstatement of facts. The
buying of silver does not increase the
volume OF currency any more than the
buying Of so much wheat might increase
1t. The silver is paid for In gold; and,
In addition to that, paper is issued not
silver against the silver bullion stored TO
secure It, and thatp paper currency is held
as par by the faith the government has
gold, not that It has silver, to redeem the
paper. II IL were redeemable In silver,
the people would not touch It at par
Thus, while we have practically gold
basis, and while we are actually trading
and paying debts on a gold basis,
our enthusiastic and illogical
silver friends are attempting to per-
suade us to go to a single silver stand
ard by telling us that we have silver
currency now. That seems a difficult
mental somersault q case Of high
jumping ratiocinatlon, but the silverites
are trying to perform the feat. If we
have gold standard, II silver is really,
what they say, demonetized, why not
admit the fact.
