VALUES NOT FIXED BY LAW
Now. start out with this proposition: Nations
by their laws do not fix the value Of things They
,annot do IL II they try. The actual value Of the
.wo metals at the present time is wide apart. The
satio OF l6 10 is to-day thing OF the past; the
value Of the two metals in the markets OF the
world has changed all this discussion that have
.aad How it happened to have been done. what
brought it about does no: bear upon this question
today. The figures, l6 to /. do represent the

Will change the measure. M. Harvey says then
that Is what ought TO be done. because he says the
world Is In debt and country on the brink OF
ruin because the present dollar is too valuable
That is his position. That is a position on which

1t Is reputation for all debts contracted recently
anyhow, because both parties, the borrower and

The measure should always be the one used and
