THE DUNN .NG-GRoUND FALLAC1

The theory advanced by the gold
men that if the minis were open to
silver as they are to gold this country
would be made the dumping-ground
for the worlds silver is completely
exploded. If other nations brought
silver to"our mints to be made into
coins those coins would have to be
used in the United States, as they
would not be a legal tender in other
countries, and, if taken back when
coined, would be worth less than the
bullion from which they we're minted,
as the coins would contain 10 per
cent copper, Dr. alloy. The Mining
World says that within a year the mar
velous prosperity of Mexico, where
free coinage exists, has proven the
fallacy Of the goldbug theory, and at
tracted the attention Of the business
men Of the United States. Mills and
factories are built up and operated,
and the price of labor is steadily adj
vancing. The Mexican mints are
open for unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver, yet there is no dumping of
the silver of other nations, except the
money that is taken there for invest
ment in Mexican industries and the
development of Mexican resources,
and that is a kind of dumping that
even the goldbugs will not say is I'M
desirable. Only the demands of trade
bring gold or silver into a country. If
other nations owe us money they
must send it, and if we owe other ma
tiohs money we must send it. Silver
coin circulates in Europe at the ratio
of 153 to /. and they would not be
likely to send it here to be recoined
at the ratio of 16 to l, as there would
be no profit i'll the business.
Nme-tenths of the people Of the
United States are struggling hard to
get silver. The professional man will
willingly exchange his services for it;
the merchant will gladly sell his
wares for it; the farmer and the manu-
tacturer will dispose of their products
for it, and the mechanic and the la
borer will give their skill and labor
for silver. Everything that is for sale
can be purchased with silver, and yet
there are those SO thoroughly imbued
with goldbug ideas that while they
struggle late and early to get silver,
they fear the country will be flooded
with it i'll the event of the mints be-
ing open for it's coinage upon the
same terms on which gold is coined
now-that is, at a limited cost to the
depositor for melting, annealing and
coming the metal.
