THE sILvERITEs' CONFUSION

Mr.. Carlisle makes clear-cut fallacy
when he says: 1T is the metal that h1es
the value of the coin, and not the com
That fixes the value of the metal. What
IS it that makes an American silver dol
lar worth the sime as an Amerlc an gold
dollar the world over. the metal in it or
the com mark of the United States?-Salt
Lake Tribune.
MIR. Carlisle states clear-cut truth in
his usual invincible way when he
saws lit is the metal that fixes the value
of the coin and not the coin that fixes
the value of the metal" When Jefferson
and Hamilton were establishing the
weight and fineness of the metal that
should enter inio the coin OF this country
they endeavored to make the legal value
of the coins correspond with the intrinsic
value of the metals composing them, and
the ratio adopted was the commercial
ratio of that time. Regarding this sub
ject Jefferson said:
Just principles will lead us to disre
gard legal proportions altogether; to in
quire into the market price OF gold in the
several countries with which we shall
principally be connected in commerce,
and to take an average from them.
The American silver dollar is worth the
same as gold dollar the world over be-
cause this government has declared that
it will maintain the PAL rity OF its dollars
and thus the silver dollar may be ex-
changed for gold dollar. 1t is under
present legal conditions just as thorough
ly a representative of gold dollar as a
gold note for the same amount would be.
This parity can only be maintained by
limiting the issue of the cheaper dollar
or adopting in the coinage the CONNER
cial ratio of the Two metals.
Under the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at Ii to l, when the ratio is 80
to 1. it would be absolutely impracticable
:. for this country to maintain the parity
OF Its dollars. The chaotic state of mind
that the silver men are in is shown by
the persistency with which they confuse
and tangle up together the principles oi
two entirely different and Independent
systems of money, the intrinsic and the
fiat. Ii we are to adopt the latter system
no consideration whatever need be given
the value of the material out of which
the money is made. But if the silver
men believe in intrinsic money ana they
know why they thus believe, it must be
because they holu that money must also
be property. II they hold this it is be-
caase they think that when money en-
ters into an exchange it is as proper ty,
SO that when people take money for goods
they are getting property for property.
And if they are logical and honest in
this reasoning they must admit that the
property they use for money should be in
tilnsically worth the value that is
stamped on it. Without entering into a
discussion of the relative merits of the
two theories of money, we submit that it
is obvious that they will no more mix
than oil and water The siverites must
adopt one or the other of the two and
stay consistently with it.
