commercial value. II the government
were to stop the coinage of gold tomor-
row, the value of that metal would re-
main the same. And the adoption of
gold as the standard Of values has not
increased the value of the products of
the gold miner. The same could be said
of silver were it merely proposed TO coin
that metal at its true commercial value.
The most extreme ''goldbug" Of the sill
verite's imagination would not object to
free coinage of silver dollars if each
coin contained a full dollars worth Of
silver. The objection to such action on
the part of the government is that it
would involve great and useless ex-
pense for mintage, as the commercial
value Of silver continually changes, and
IL would be necessary TO make new COINS
whenever silver became cheaper or dear
er. But the demand Of the free silver
advocates is not for the coinage of both
metals at their commercial value, but
for the unlimited coinage Of silver, worth
only 80 cents, into coins which will
be legal tender in payment for goods or
Of debts equal to gold coins, worth twice
as much in other words, they seek TO
compel the government to give one class,
the producers Of silver. the right to have
the value Of their products doubled by
setting a fictitious value on it. This Is
what free coinage at lG to really
means, and if adopted it would make
the silver miners privileged class at
the expense of the whole people.
That this is true is recognized by all
the leading Populists, who have de-
manded that the government should go
farther and give the owners of staple
farm products the right to have their
crops stored in government warehouses
and TO receive money based on them
In this the Populists are consistent with
their paternalistic views, but very in
consistent with the Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights. The true remedy for
any violation of this great principle is
not the granting of special privileges to
the farmers as well as TO silver miners,
but the repeal Of all class legislation
and steadfaSt opposition TO all financial
schemes involving government aid to
any special interest.

LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Laws of Trade More Powerful Than the
Laws of Nations.

The Iowa Democrats on Aug. de-
clared against free coinage of silver at
16 to / by an overwhelming majority.
The following is short quotation from
the speech Of Hon. Nathaniel French,
chairman of the convention:
''At what ratio shall we coin the
metals so that dollar of one will equal
a dollar of the other in intrinsic and
exchangeable value? When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
go to the markets and find out. We
don't hunt up a congressman to ask the
value of eggs or spring chickens or grain
or anything else, or if congress has de-
clared what their value shall be. We
know that the mere declaration of con-
gress, or even constitutional amend
ment, could not fix the price of a single
egg. In like manner, if we want to know
how many ounces of silver an ounce of
gold is worth, we must 90 to the bull
lion markets instead of the revised
statutes Thomas jefferson could not
have won undying fame as a statesman
and leader of the common people if he
had not been endowed with an album
dance of common sense, and over 100
years ago. when congress sought his adj
vice as to the ratio to adopt for the
coinage of gold and silver, he said /;
Disregard legal proportions altogether.
Inquire into the market price. He
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws of trade
We're more powerful than the laws of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute
ITO so coin gold and silver that both
shall circulate together by reason of
parity of value we must follow Jetfer-
sons advice and inquire the price of
gold and silver in the markets of the
world. If we find one ounce of gold will
buy 32 ounces of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt To put in the silver dollar
more than 30 grains of silver for each
grain of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would ban
ish our gold. The loss of either would
be misfortune, and to retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
In our coins no more and no less than is
needed to make one of equal value tc
the other. ~
