Co,s,,, Good Road.n Scheme.

General Jacob S. Coxey of the late
army of weary walkers was the badly
defeated Populist candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio. His platform was
"Greenbacks and Good Roads," and
he would have been content with a
modest $500, 900, 900 of fat currency for
a starter, the money to be expended in
building good roads throughout the
country.
Has Statesman Coxey reflected on the
certain result of better roads: Will not
improved facilities for getting to mar
ket mean cheaper transportation? Will
that not mean cheaper farm products?
And can it be possible that any true
Populist favors a scheme which will
make things cheaper?
It must be a mistake. What the late
general really wants to do is to tear up
all the roads now existing. This will
make things scarce and dear. Everything
will 90 up. Even the chickens will
roost high when the army of the COM
monwealth is ON the march. The idea
that Coxey wants things cheap must be

HOW RATIOS WERE FIXED IN 1892

Proportion Of Values Between Gold and
Silver IL . Mercantile Problem.
When q mint was established in
1892 and was about to be opened to the
free coinage of both metals, the main
question was, What shall the ratio be?
All agreed that it must be the CONNER.
cial ratio. Hamilton, in his celebrated
report on the establishment Of the mint,
said, "There a hardly be a better rule
in any country for the legal than the
market proportion" Thomas Jefferson
said: Just principles will lead us to
disregard legal proportions altogether ;
to inquire into market prices of gold in
the several countries with which We
shall be connected in commerce, and to
take advantage Of them. The proportion
between the values of gold and silver is
a mercantile problem altogether" And
so they made the mint ratio Is to /.
which at that time was the commercial
ratio. Besides, certain powerful CONNER
cial nations. among them England and
France, were at that time coming both
metals free at practically the same ratio.
How different the situation now, when
the commercial ratio is 80 to /, and the
minis of all the commercial nations are
closed against the free coinage of silver.
Certainly there is no precedent Of any
country, or of any combination of coun-
tries. by mere acts Of legislation dou-
bling the value of the worlds entire
stock of silver bullion and coin. Yet to
raise the ratio from 80 to 1 to 16 to l
would be to double the value Of the
worlds entire silver stock, for the price
Of silver is fixed in the markets Of the
world and is practically the same in all
countries. -Firman Smith in New Or

An 1xeellsst Treatise on the Science g.
Money By Hsracs White.

An 1xeellsst Treakise on the Science &C
Money By Hsracs White.
One Of the most complete works Of its
kind ever published in this country is
Money and Banking" by Horace
White. II 10 both historical and philo-
sophical, and because Of logical arrange
ment Of subjects and topics, incidental
definitions and explanations of words
and terms used, and wide scope-em-
bracing discussions of nearly every kind
Of money and banking system tried or
proposed-it is as we'll adapted for the
use of college students and general read
ers interested i'll economic subjects as
for professors and experts on financial
questions. A quotation from Mr.. Whites
preface will give an idea of this latest
and very timely work on money:
"On the 25th of February, 1862, the
government of the United States made
its paper evidences of debt legal tender
between individuals. The nation was
thus sent upon the wrong road, and has
been toiling in a wilderness ever since.
In addition to the injustice which it
wrought, the legal tender act filled the
public mind with misconceptions and
decisions ON the subject of money. So it
came TO pass that although we adopted
irredeemable paper with the greatest re.
luctance we were willing to founder in
it ii years after the supposed necessity
for it had passed away. Then, partly by
design, partly by chance, we resumed
specie payments, but the people had to
a large extent lost sight of the funda-
mental principles of money. The mis-
conceptions and decisions remained, the
most dangerous and widely prevalent
being the notion that mere quantity is
a desirable thing and that the govern
ment car produce quantity and ought to.
cit is the aim of this work to recall
attention to first principles. For this
purpose it has been deemed best to be-
gin at the beginning of civilized life on
this continent and to treat the subject
historically. The science of money is
much in need of something to enliven
it. If anything a make it attractive,
it must be the story of the struggles of
our ancestors with the same problems
that vex Us. The reader will find an
abundance of these in the following
pages. Indeed a complete and correct
theory OF money might be constructed
from the events and experiences that
have taken place on the American con-
tinent, even if we had no other sources
of knowledge. This may be said of the
science of banking also. All the wisdom
and all the folly of the ages, as to these
two related subjects, have been exploit
ed on our shores within the space of less
than 800 years"
Mr.. White believes that it was a great
mistake for the government to engage
in the banking business and that the
normal and proper business of the treas
ury is the collecting and disbursing of
public revenue. He sees but little pros
pect of banking and other reforms or
even for clear thinking on currency
questions until we retire and cancel
the legal tender notes and restrict the
treasury to the duties for which it was
originally and solely designed.
