doubtful whether he would be prepared TO

the successor OF the late Mr.. Isaacs. The
person who receives the temporary ap-
pointment from the hands Of the Grand

ton by the grand bodies. and IT has nap
pened In several instances that the grand

NO CORNER IN GOLD.

Silverites claim that the gold sup
ply of the world has been ''cOrnered
by the banks, who can compel the
Government to pay e~xorbitant prices
for gold. Though this alleged gold
corner does duty as an argument IN all
free coinage literature, 1t has not the
slightest basis in fact. There Is no
corner in gold, and no way in which
the supply Of that metal could be
monopolized if any persons we're SO
foolish as to attempt 1t.
Gold is produced in various parts OF
the world by thousands OF individuals
an3 mining corporations. 1t is dealt
in like any other commodity by men
who make a business OF handling the
precious metals. A large quantity of
it is bought by jewellers, gold leaf
manufacturers, dentists and other
tradesmen. In all large cities there
are merchants who deal in gold, and
there is no more difficulty in getting
gold than there is IN buying tin or sill
yer.
Bat the ~silverites will reply that at
least the gold money OF the world IS
locked up in bank vaults. This Is
partly true, but it is merely because
the millions OF people who have saved
a little gold consider the banks the
safest place in which to keep their
savings. Besides, by depositing their
money in the banks it can be more
readily loaned out than If each person
went round looking for borrowers.
Aud it is a great mistake to suppose
that bankers wish to keep money
locked up. On the contrary, they are
always anxious to loan it out at inter
est, and keep in their vaults only
enough to meet unusual demands.
1t is true that there is not at one
time any large amount of gold coin IN
circulation in this country, but the
reason Is that paper currency (gold
certificates, etc., Is so much more
convenient that the people wall not
use gold in ordinary business trans
actions. But any person who wants
gold, aud has any salable products to
exchange for it can always get it.
The theory Of the cheap money adj
vocates that the banks own all the gold
entrusted to them, is like the idea
that the safe-deposit companies have
monopolized all the stocks, bonds and
other securities, because the latter are
largely deposited with those com
panies. A little thought viii show
even those who have been deluded into
favoring free silver that the gold in
the banks belongs to millions o.
owners who can withdraw it If they
wish. And the fact that any person
Who should try to nonopolize gold

Why silver Has Fallen.

The silver men say it is because the
United States demonetized silver IN
1878, that it has gone down IN value
until the silver in our silver dollar is
only worth 80 cents.
They conveniently forget that the
United States was not the only Nation
TO demouetize silver in 1873. Ger
many also demonetized silver IN 1873.
France did the same in 1876, and In
dia the same in 1898; and since ISL
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland
Russia, Austria, Switzerland and Bel
GUM have ceased the free coinage OF
silver.
The action OF these principal Ma
lions Of the earth has had at least as
much effect on the fall in the price Of
silver as the action OF the United
States. BIT the great increase IN the
annual production OF silver has had
more elect on the decline In price
than any characterization by any
country. The fall in the price Of sill
yer has simply kept pace with the IN
crease of production, the same as any
thing else.
The average production OF silver IL
the ten years prior to 1872 was, in
round figures, $50, 900, 900 each year,
aud the average price was Sl.32 an
ounce. In 1886, the production had
increased to $780, 00, 900, and natur-
ally the price had zone down to 80
cents an ounce. In 1892 and '93, the
annual production had reached the
enormous sum OF 1896, 900, 900, and
the price most naturally went down to
6S cents; and the most remarkable
fact is that the fall in price has been
in nearly exact proportion right
straight through to the increase OF an
nual production.
Will ny fair-mInded man assert IN
the face of these facts that increased
production has no effect on the fall IN
price, but that decentralization of sill
yer by the United States has alone
produced this result?-From DR.. W.

A WRONG DIAGNOSIS.

A doctor writing in the California
Medical Journal asks: What Is the
actual value of gold?" and answers his
question by saying: "Simply a fictit-
ious or fiat value, placed upon 1t by
legislation" If this doctor knows no
more about the science of medicine
than he does of finance, his patients
will have on excellent chance OF test
ing the value OF fat drugs and pills,
with possibly the result that they will
recover quicker than if they swallowed
real mixtures compounded according
TO his directions. And if he should
have occasion to bring suit for pro-
fessional services rendere /. the patient
could plead as a defence that the value
of such services was merely a fictitious
or fat value, fixed by legislation.
The error into which this California
doctor has fallen is one which is COM
mon to all cheap money advocates, and
especially to silverites. They believe,
or pretend to believe, that value is
something created by law, and placed
by Governments on gold, silver or
paper. That it is purely a delusion
! can be seen by supposing the
laws making gold the stand
ard of value to be repealed. At
once the natural laws of
trade would force the selection by
business men Of some common measure
OF values. What would be the material
need for such measure? Isit not GER
tain that because of the very qualities
which make gold the superior money,
that metal would be used by far the
largest number OF persons? A few
might use silver, but when they found
that the rest were using gold, they
would see the advantage OF having the
same standard as those with whom
they traded. SO that without any
legislation gold would continue TO be
the standard money Of the country.
The value of gold depends on the
cost Of production and the demand for
it both in the arts and for money, and
ii the supply continued as at present,
It's value would be the anne The
Governments stamp puts nc value into
the gold coin, for the gold Is worth as
much as bullion as wher coined. There
is no possible way by which Govern
ment fat can add a fictitious value TO
any substance. No silverite will pre-
tend that legislation could make six
teen ounces of iron worth one ounce
OF copper. or that the value Of either
iron or copper is fictitious. And it is
just as impossible for Government to
give value to the two rarer metals,
gold and silver. The Oakland doctor
will have 10 make a new diagnosis of
silver's weakness AMI the strength Of
gold.
