FREE COINAGE OBJECTIONS.

What is free coinage; There is some
confusion of ideas as to just what free
coinage is. Some understand it TO be
the coinage of gold or silver into money
without charge TO the owner of the bull
lion. While this meaning might posi-
bly, be drawn from the term, it is not
the proper sense of it. Van Buren,
Denslow, in his work on political econ
omy, says of the term: "By free coin
aye is meant that the holder of the
quantity of bullion, required by law to
be in a standard coin, may tender it to
the mint, together with the cost of
coinage, called scignorage, and will re-
cciye the coin in return Thi, is the
proper sense of the term, and cannot
be construed that the government shall
turn bullion into coin without com
pensatiOn for coming. The govern
ment might even charge a percentage
sufficient to make a large profit on the
work of minting. and still maintain
free coinage. The word free has refer
ence rather to the release from all re-
straint of coinage, rather than the coin
ing without cost to the owner of the
bullion. If the government charged
onc-tenth OF ! per cent, . per cent. or
10 per cent for coinage, it would be
free coinage, provided the government
charged ali persons alike and the same
on both silver and gold.
Those wise CD men of the east and
the campaign orators were certainly
not so wise, or were knavcs, when they
raised false issue and created a false
impression by the following style of
obiecting: There is no more reason
why the silver mine owner should have
his product turned into money free of
cost than that the farmer should have
his wheat made into flour or his wool
into cloth without cost to him. The
object of free coinage Is that the
government shall fix the price on
the miners silver. Why not fix the
price on wheat, potatoes, cabbages,
etc." In the majority of eases those
who raised this kind of an issue were
guilty of deception in classifying the po-
sition of free coinage advocates.
These obicctoIs are guilty of the
worst kind of a "bull" in their argu-
ment; for they assume two contradic-
tory positions IN the same argument.
First. they tell you that free coinage
means the making of 80 cents worth of
silver, worth, by law, one dollar thus
they say the silver mine owner would
make 80 cents on every 81 grains of
silver, above what it is worth in the
market. Then they tell you in the same
breath that free coinage will make a
