be measured by gold possessing an
arbitrary and artificial value, impaired
by law, then his plan proposes no re-
lief to the people and is parody upon
justice and common sense.
There is gross discrimination made
in favor of gold and against silver, so
long as the total product of gold, not re-
quired for use in the arts, is given GER
tain fixed monetary or coinage value
by law, while silver is demonetized and
made to depend for it's value upon the
demand for it for use as commodity
in the arts.
Either the law must say that some
certain quantity Of both gold and silver
shall be dollars WORTH" or else the
law must let both metals alone and let
them stand upon their own merits In
no other way can gold and silver be
treated exactly alike in the minis of
the United States"
But consider for a moment the alb
surdity of this thing called metallism.
The several nations Of the earth take
the ideal and imaginary unit of COM
parison and account, the figure /, and
calling it unit of value, they give it
a UNCONVENTIONAL name, such as pound.
franc, dollar, ETC., and also give to its
fractions distinctive names Then thew
|. proclaim by law that some certain and
fixed quantity Of some metal shall con-
stitute unit Of value" such as q
pound, dollar, and then, with owlish
gravity, they assert that such certain
and fixed quantity Of metal is "a dol
lars worth, /" because it is worth dol
lar. Just as if any commodity, q Ger.
tain fixed quantity of which the law
says may freely be coined into dollar,

THAT DOLLARS WORTH.

If Dozen Goose Eggs Were q Legal Ten
der for Dollar They Would At All
Times he Worth q Dollar.
The Louisville Courier-Journal con-
tends that it is the market and not the
law that gives to gold its price, or
value, and as an argument in support
of it's contention says that if you melt
the gold in gold dollar it will yet be
worth dollar in it's mercantile form.
What gibbering idiots these goldolo-
tors are. Of course the metal would be
worth dollar, because if presented at
the mint the law would coin it into q
legal tender dollar. A bushel of pota-
toes or dozen goose eggs would al
ways be worth dollar under the same
conditions and circumstances.
The annual production of gold ap-
proximates five millions of ounces, of
which about three and half million
ounces are used in the arts Suppose
the nations of the earth should treat
gold as they have treated silver, what
does Mr.. Watterson imagine 2S.22
grains of pure gold would be worth in
the markets of the world?
It is estimated that the worlds. stock
OF gold aggregates the sum total of
about two hundred millions of ounces,
including the Asian boards. Suppose
Mr.. Watterson could cause to be melted
up this entire worlds stock Of gold
and could procure the repeal Of all gold
coinage Laws, what does he suppose
gold bullion would then be worth in
the markets Of the world? Mr.. Waiter
sons Judgment is warped by q blind be.
lief in the metallic delusion.
