1BOTT THE TRTF RITIO.'

There has been a vast deal ~ elaborate dis
ctission during all these years regarding The tru"
or theoretical ratio between silver and gold
II has been argued. aud Is To this day. That the
true ratio should be determined 10y The law 81
supply and demand and thar since the demand
for silver in monetary Use has greatly decreased
while the supply Of that metal has increased
the relation Of silver 10 gold should be- corr"
spondngly altered. There are even those who
Insist that all the difficulty in these later years
has sprung from n failure 10 consider that The
old relation Of silver TO gold has been radically
and permanently altered. hut That upon some
new ratio yet TO bc discovered the two metals
can again be equally employed In daily service
If the commercial world as money, Just rs they
were for many centuries. On the other lland
there are those who have urged that The only
true ratio between silver and gold must be that
Of comparative cost. If II were possible 10
ascertain they say. the average cost Of pro-
duction Of golG, all elements considered, ana
the average cost Of production of silver W."
could then decide the true relation between the
two metals. at which both could be- safely and
freely used In IN" worlds commerce as money
Arguments on This point have been pushed 50
far that the official returns of important mines
have been carefully scrutinizcd. with view to
ascertain if possible exactly what il costs 10 pro
ducc either silver or gold
All these rcasonings overlook one essential
difficulty The value Of silver and gold as com
moditics might be determined by the law of
supply and demand. The value Of silver and
gold as material in manufacture might be deter
mined 10y their relative cost Of production. But
the value Of silver and Of gold for monetary use
depends upon an entirely different element.
namely the requirement Of the civilized world
for coins Of the two different metals. 1t Is The
fact which undcrlics all discussion Of this qucs

II Is The fact that the Of silver through

sentative Of coin is more freely and generally
accepted In place Of the coin itself there Is
naturally less need for the coin in which smaller
values are expressed than for the coin which
serves as the reserve for larger amounts. The
worlds reserve may always be kept more con
venenily in gold than In silver, for the obvious
reason that 1t requires less space in storage ana
less cost IN transportation. Thus in proportion
* the civilized world moves away from the use
Of coin for other than reserve purposes II ncccS-
sarily moves away from the Use of silver as
money. Nor l. there any possibility Of altering
this law or of fixing for any given year or
country the ratio AT which silver may be safely
valued in comparison with gold, because the use
Of paper and Of either or both forms Of metal
must constantly alter.
