Of social life cannot compensate for
the ignominy of getting through on
false pretenses. The wretchedness
of man or woman who, for the

look at people, is pitiable. There

great attention, but it will last

WEST VIRGINIA. THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER S, 1895

ernment Will always be ready to ex-
change one sort of dollar for the
other sort. Exchangeable dollars
are of equal value.
The automatic ratio, here proposed,
If adopted, will undoubtedly coin
all of both metals, and keep the bull
lion value of the silver dollar equal
to the gold dollar. AS there will
always be a gold dollar to offset
every silver dollar, the government
may maintain exchangeability and
yet undertake to coin an unlimited
amount of both metals.
1t is objected that it is costly to
promptly coin dollars varying
slightly in size. Reply. A paper
certificate can be issued, exchanged
BILE for dollar of the size fixed by
the ratio at its date: or, the capacity
OF the mint may be increased.
Where there is will there is a way
1t will be objected that gold will
leave us to pay interest on foreign
held bonds. Reply. 1t will leave
as quickly without bimetalism as
with 1t. The gold monometalists do
not attempt to explain how or why
boycotting silver will check the out
flow of gold. 1t has not checked
1t. Belmont's sale of government
bonds, supplemented by Morgan's
sale of railroad securities, created a
Temporary balance in our favor,
but it is temporary only. Our for
eign debt was increased 500, ,OOO, 900
without increasing our ability to
pay. Not a penny of this money
was used to make one blade of grass
grow where none grew before. II
makes sensible men sea-sick to hear
the prattle about gold leaving be-
cause bimetslism is threatened. No
scheme of finance will keep gold a,
home so long as we owe more inter.
est than is paid by the excess of ou,
exports over our imports. Wise
men see now what everybody will
see presently. Shouting "confi.
dence, confidence" Is whistling in
the dark. The remedy is to shrink
our railroad and other watered se-
curities until they are on a sound
basis: divorce railroad management
from stock speculation let the gov
ernment quit banking, and establish
State banks. But this is a branch
of the discussion which requires a
separate paper.
1t will be objected that prices hav-
ing already become adjusted to
gold standard, it would unsettle
values to go back to bemetalism.
Reply. The word "dollarn has
been adjusted" to mean twice as
much property, but it has not been
adjusted to mean half as much debt.
Probably ninety per cent. of the Sc
curities on which the West and
south are paying interest, .(debts
more than 80 years old, are held in
England and in the Northeastern
States. Hence England and these
States profit by this Adjustment
to gold basis; hence the Northeast
oppose bimetalism, State banks, and
an income tax.
It's true, "prices are (almost) ad-
justed to gold basis" This means
that prices are shrinking. The West
and South rebel, because the North
east don't propose to shrink debts
which were contracted on a bimetal-
lie basis.

Honest Bimetalism.

One pound of gold when coined
yields $24s.2S6s. One pound of sill.
yer, If epined at 16 to L, yields SI5.-
614s. The present production of
mines In the United States is about
14l, 500 pounds of gold, and $780,
600 pounds of silver. This gold
yields $50 1000, 900; this silver at 16
to l, would yield $40, 900. 900. This
silver If toined at thirty-two to one,
would yilld $s5, 200, 900.
The fatal objection to the 16 to /
theory is that, If the silver output
exceeds sixteen times the gold out
put, then there will be more silver
dollars than gold dollars, and ex-
changeahility could not be main
tanned.
