RATIO OF THE TWO METALS.

The advocates of gold as the single
money standard never tire OF declaring
that the silver dollar is dishonest
dollar, because the present market
price of silver is SO low that dollar
does not contain dollars worth of
metal. That is an apparent advan-
tage which they claim in the financial
argument. The New York Post states
st thus in answer to question from a
constant reader
Coming silver dollars. under legisla-
tive enactment, at the ratio OF 16
to 1, simply means that the govern
ment puts as much silver into the dol
lar, and no more, as would belong
there if the ratio in the market really
were 16 to /. But this does not alter
the actual market ratio between the
metal gold and the metal silver, any
more than stamping the words ''one
dollar" on a government note involves
a corresponding change in the ratio
of gold to paper. The market ratio of
gold to silver is at present about 95
to l, and the value of the standard
dollar, if melted up, is about 511a cents.
This is one of the cases of obscur-
ing the full truth by covering it With
few fragments of fact. Yet the ex-
PLANTATION of the ratio of 16 to is not
exactly correct. The government does
not undertake to regulate the ratio by
the state of the market. Experience
for ages demonstrated that this ratio
is as near as can be that Of the rela-
tive value of the two metals when
fully used as money; that is to say it
is the natural coming ratio.
But there is a very great difference
between stamping a piece of paper
zone dollar" and stamping silver or
gold coin one dollar, because the pa
| per note is a redeemable obligation to
pay one dollar in money while the sill
yer or the gold dollar is that money
itself
| 1t is true that because the govern
ment has ceased to utilize silver for
coinage into dollars while it has con-
tinued to coin gold without limit, the
relative values of the two metals in
the market have parted company
silver. If the process had been re-
versed, and gold alone had been de-
monetized as a metal, silver would
have gone up and a similar result
would have oYertaken it as has come
to silver.
The market ratio Of gold to silver
has been caused by the error Of Con
gress in ceasing to coin the white
metal in unlimited quantities the same
as gold is treated. Open the minis OF
the United States to the free coinage
Of silver as before the law of 1878 was
enacted and the market ratio would
soon become equal TO the coinage "a
ito. There would then be no room for
the presentation OF a few facts in a
way to shut out the great financial
truth which this whole nation will
have to learn before true prosperity
can prevail.
There is not enough gold in the
world to do the money business of the
world. There is not enough silver il
the world to furnish enough money
for the world. Both metals are es.
sentiaI to the financial convenience OF
the enlarged populations and CONNER
cial transactions of civilized countries
Utilize both fully, and the 16 to 1 "a.
ito will be found natural and perma.
nent and the market and coinage IA.
tics Will become the same. This ma.
ton will have to come to it yet.
