The Decline of Silver,

4uc Dcc1iue Oh silver
+! The most practical and convinc
ing argument we have yet seen te
prove the deprecated value of sill.
yer as a money standard, was the
action last week of the South
American government of Chill, in
which that country plainly recog.
nizes the worldwide depreciation
of silver. The text of Chili's cur
rency bill, lately passed by both
branches of it's Congress, plainly
shows that the idea of sound
money" prevails in that country,
and is as follows:
It provides for specie payments from
June ], 1895, two weeks hence, and as
both metals are to be utilized, the change
promises to have an important effect upon
the worlds supply Of the metals. The
president of Chill is empowered for the
term of three years to coin $4,000 900 of
silver. All of the proceeds from the sale
OF nitrate beds shall be devoted exclusive
y to the purchase and coinage Of silver.
Three gold coins Of $40, $40 and IS are
also provided for. The silver dollar is to
weigh twenty grams and is to be 800 1000
nne. Silver Is not legal tender above
YOU, except to the government where it is
received as gold. The government mint
is also directed to exchange for gold the
silver dollar presented to it with that OBJ.
lect: The act also provides system OF
bank currency guaranteed by the govern
ment if the bank falls.
We spent day this week, redd-
ing and studying "Coin's Finan-
cial School," the textbook of our
friends who advocate the 'free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to l." And we have
been forcibly impressed with the
great assurance, but extreme incon-
sistency of the writer. He unwit-
Eingly admits the fluctuations that |
have occurred both in the CONNER
hal and monetary valuations of sill |
yer, yet contends for it as a nation
Il standard of value. On page 7
Coin states that the ratio was chang
ID Tin 1884 from Is to /, to is to
|, thus Increasing the silrer in the
lollar; but it ignores the stiil fur
her change in 1853, when the
quantity of silver in fractional
oins and trade dollars was increas-
d from 3714 to 1874 grains. On
age 141 Coin states this: "We
ave twice changed the quantity
t the gold in the dollar; each time
aaking 1t less"
The question naturally occurs,
Thy this steady increase in the
Iuantity of silver in our dollars,
lille the quantity of gold in them
as been decre0seds There has
cen a change, and it has not been
q gold, for it has not varied more
han one or two cents for a hun
red years.
The advocates of free coinage
Omit tn is continual change in
heir present contention. which ia
lat our dollars shall now contain
l2A grains of silver!
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1895-05-25

In the last issue Of the WINFIELD Com
rade, Judge Machen attempts 10 sustain
his statement that the Democrats promis.
ed tree coinage at 16 to / in their plat
form of 1892. and be quotes that part OF
the platform debating for ''the coinses
of both gold and silver without discrim-
mating against either metal. We MOTIFS
he cuts of the balance Of the sentences,
which stipulates that "the dollar unit Of
coinage Of both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and exchabgeable value, to be
adjusted through International agree
ment or by such safeguards Of legislation
ss shall maintain the parity Of the two
metals and the equal power Of every dol
lar at all times in the markets and in the
payment Of debts" This is plain dode-
ing OF the question; but, even taxing his
partial quotation as basis for argument;
he has no vantage ground upon which to
commit the Democratic party to silver
coinage at the ratio Of is to /. That
ratio is plainly discrimination in favor
OF silver, and against gold, as is shown
by the valuation of silver at about 80 to
l in all the markets Of the world. The
Democratic party cannot and will not
venture coming silver at 16 to I; or se
any other ratio. without international
agreement or by safeguards Of legisla-
hon. Put up your little pop-gun, brother.

Electric Lights on Buoys

A remarkable system of electric
lights on buoys has Just been CON-
pleted at the Gedney Channel off
Sandy Hook. This channel is only
1000 feet wide, and vessels have
not heretofore been able to pass
through it by night. The new sys-
tom, however, provides a brilliant
thoroughfare, lighted by ten in
candescent lights of 100 candle
power each, and each on a buoy,
about so feet long, and rising II
feet out OF water. The cable which
conveys the electricity carries the
pressure of 1000 volts under water,
and is six and half miles long, be.
ing the longest cable in the world
carrying a high-pressure current
under water, and also the only one
of its kind ever made. 1t consists
Of copper conductor, insulated
with gutta-percha, bedded in jute,
and sheathed with hard drawn
copper wire. The machines have
an output Of only 100 volts, but
the current flows through step.up
converted into the required volt
age, thus being perfectly safe to
operate"
