silver Would Replace Gold.

Question Would there be moro mon
oy III tho country with tho FREQ coinage
of silver?
Answer There would at first be very
much less, owing to tho Withdrawal of
gold. After values became adjusted to tho
silver basis silver would be coined here
as it is in Mexico. Thore would be no do
mand for silver on account of its coin
age, nor would it then go up i'll price,
because silver bullion would be worth
the Same after coinage ms before, just
MS gold is now. Men would SOW and
reap and buy and sell rs they do now.
Whoever got IL silver dollar would have
TO work for it MS ho must now work
Our stock of money would be loss elf
ciont because we would not have the
standard Of the leading civilized ma
tons, and our money would havo its
price i'll gold, tluctuating from day to
day, MS is now tho case with the money
Of Mexico, Japan, China and other
countries. To understand the result we
havo hut to study the conditions found
among the silver using nations. r..
