FRANK M. PiXLEY
Brief Sketch OF an Important Character in
the States History

SAN FRANCISCO. July Frank NJ.
Pixley, who was reported to be dying in
these dispatches last night, has been an
important character in the history OF CAL
ifornia. Coming to California in the
early days, he grew up with the state.
He was then lawyer. He took an active
part in politics and in 1857, when Leland
Stanford was elected governor, he was
elected attorney general.
In 1867 he contested with George c.
Gorham in the Republican state conven-
ton for the nomination for governor.
Mr.. Pixley was defeated, Gorham receiv-
Ing the nomination.
Mr.. Pixley never showed his independ-
ent actions in politics more clearly than
when he left the Republican party to es-
pouse the cause of Horace Greeley, and
he was an elector on the Greeley ticket in
this state.
+ Before he became politician and Jour-
nalist he was lawyer. 1t was early in
1877 that he conceived the idea of the Ar
gonaut, and on March 25th OF that year
the first number appeared. After the
starting of the Argopaut Mr.. Pixley left
the law entirely and gradually retired
from politics and the platform.

nous letter was received by Judge Piper
threatening him with violence if any
more receivers were appointed. Little at
tention was paid, but as precaution the
sheriff appointed a number of deputies,
who have been guarding the principal av-
enues and thoroughfares approaching the
city during the night and the alarm given
this morning was. preconcerted one to
be given on the approach or signs of DEM
onstration or movement of that kind.
Who fired tn , shots or the reason therefor
is still mystery.

would not be affected by the difference in
| the amount or value OF either Of tho
metals produced in any given time. so
| long as these metals are used as money
metals and have the same piotecsion IN.
| der the law, is very conclusively shown
| by n chart published by Mr.. Lauglin. the
| great gold -btg political economist, III his
WORK on Political Economy, page Ia. by
| this chart he shows that tho value OF the
gold produced from 1893 to 1850 was $55;-
314, $50, 900. and that the value OF the Sill
yer produced during the same ume was
much in value OF silver as gold; and that
from 1851 to 1885 the value OF the gold
produced was "a. 49,, 525. 900, and the value
OF the silver prouuced during the same
time was ~. 397, 475, 900, only little more
than one-half as much in value OF SILVER
as gold. During the first PERIOD named
the ratio between gold and silver was
much lower than IN the second period.
If the amount of the production had
controlling influence, or any influence
over the value of the bullion, the reverse
of this1would have been true.
Since 1892 tha ratio between gold ara
silver has been at certain times below ii
to because at such times legislation has
Disseminated in favor OF silver The
ratio between gold and silver always has
been controlled or largely influenced by
legislation and always will be so controll-
ed as long as they arc used as money
metals.
The ratio between them has been
changed by legislative enactment OF the
various nations of the earth almost an in
mite number OF times. If legislation dis
criminates in favor of silver the ratio
ialls, If it discriminates in favor of gold
the ratio rises. OF course local causes
may occasion slight local variations in
that ratio, but they will be trifing.
Mr. Widney says that Senator Jones in
ms speech OF May IL and 13. 1890. shows
that the ratio between golo and silver did
IN lSOS, 1917 and 1918 exceed Ii to Land
calls upon me. rather gleefully, to recon-
cile myself to Senator Jones. Senator
Jones in that speech publishes a table
prepared by DR.. Soetbeer and Pixley d
ratio in the years named was slightly in
excess of 16 to l. 1t is impossible from
the table to determine whether the varia-
tion in ratio was cansed by An apprecia-
tion in the price of silver or by q depre
citation in the price of gold. The change
in ratio in 1Sl3 when it was the greatest,
was only twenty-five one hundredths OF
one-sixteenth. am perfectly familiar
with this table and reproduced it in the
appendix to my silver speech delivered at
UNITY church IN this city in 1893. The
fuctuation III tho value of che two metals
was only temporary, was produced by
serious consideration. 1t was not enough
to affect in any manner the monetary re-
lations between the metals and as soon
as the local causes producing it suDeided
the two metals resumed their former posi-
tions at ratio below 16 to l and rem aim
ed below l6 to l until the adverse silver
legislation in 1878. A. J. UTLEY.
