formerly was. Silver bullion Is thus
worth in gold only about half as much
as it was when the coinage ratio was
made 16 to 1.
, A silver dollar, with the stamp Of
the government upon it, passes for more
than it is worth, just as paper dol
lar passes for mere than the paper up
on which it is printed is worth. The
credit of the government Is behind the
paper dollar, and the credit of the gov
eminent is behind the silver dollar
The United States government lends it's
credit to every man with an American
silver dollar in his pocket, so that he
can pay 100 cents of debt with SO cents
worth of silver. But the credit of the
government is not behind the uncoined
silver, in the form of bullion. There
fore the bullion is exchangeable for
other commodities only to the amount
of it's actual or intrinsic value.
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. means,
therefore, that the government of the
credit for the maintenance of limited
amount of coined silver at parity with
gold, shall pledge its credit for the
maintenance Of an unlimited amount
Of silver, now worth only 81 to /. at a
parity with gold, at a ratio of 16 to l..
By this the United States would under
take to double the value of every ounce
OF silver, coined or uncoined, in the
world, and extend an invitation to all
the nations to send their surplus sill
yer here to be coined into silver dollars
at ratio of, 16 to 4.
These silver dollars, If coined in an
unlimited quantity, would not be worth
as much as gold dollars, because it is
the credit OF the government which
makes those We now have equal in
purchasing power to gold dollar, and
the credit of the government Is not
without limit. Unlimited" coinage of
silver would exhaust it's credit, by ex-
hausting its power to redeem its pledge
to maintain silver at parity with gold,

Concerning Farm Mortgages.

One of the favorite assertions of the
popuists, both of the st. Louis and
Chicago variety, is that the southern
and western farmers are grooming I'M
der the burden of mortgages held by
the people of New England and the
east.
"Pitchfork" Tillman is particularly
fond of expatiating upon this topic, and
among the populists of Kansas and Ne
braska the theme never grows thread
bare. According to them the east is
living in idleness and fattening off the
labor of the west and south.
Some interesting figures have been
collected in regard to this subject. They
are those of the census bureau and, al
though that institution is not always to
be relied upon when the tariff is in
question, there is no reason to doubt
it's substantial accuracy in mortgage
statistics.
So far from showing that the farms
of the west and south are more heavily
mortgaged than those Of the east, the
figures indicate that the reverse is the
case. The farms OF New York, for ex-
ample, arc mortgaged to 43 per cent. OF
their value, while the Kansas percent
The Yale expositor., 1896-08-14

age is but 35. In Pennsylvania the
amount Of incumbrance is 1905 per
cent OF the total valuation, as against
only 33 per cent in Iowa. New Jersey
farms carry a burden of nearly so per
cent, while Candidate Bryan's state
Nebraska-is down to 80 per cent. In
Delaware the percentage is A, while in
Illinois it is "a and in Indiana but 30.
So much for the claim that ma
jority OF the western farmers are mort
gage-ridden. But when the acreage
membranes upon mortgaged farms
are investigated the difference ie even
more pronounced. In New York this
average is $1,749: in Pennsylvania,
S1,716; in Rhode Island, S1,525, and in
Delaware $2147; while in Nebraska
it is only G,054; in Tennessee, $e67; in
Missouri, 1858, and in South Carolina,
the home of Senator Tillman, 1t is $3.50.
These, of course, are only sample
states, but the average holds good for
them all. The west and south are, rs
a matter of fact, better off as to farm
mortgages than is the east. In Mis-
souri,, for example, there are more un-
incumbered farms than in the whole
six New England states.
The facts cited do not require any
comment. 1t is only necessary that they
should be borne in mind when the
misunderstanding sectionalists begin
as they surely will-to repeat their
stock misrepresentation during the
campaign.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The Yale expositor., 1896-08-14

az the ratio OF 16 to l.. The consc-
quence would be that the silver dollar
would soon decline in purchasing power
to the commercial value of the bullion
it contC ms, and would be worth little,
If any, more than half-a-dollar in gold.
AS all private and public debts not
explicitly payable in gold would then
be payable in these half-rate dollars,
our gold would disappear from circula-
ton and would quickly be drawn out
of the country in paying our obliga-
tons and purchases from gold-using
countries where our silver &C MS would
not be accepted. AS consequence we
should in a few months lose all of our
$612 100000 of gold, leaving us with a
much contracted and greatly depre-
ciated currency. A disastrous panic
would ensue, followed by the susper-
sion of thousands OF factories and bust
ness houses, general business col
lapse, and the loss of employment by
hundreds of thousands of wage-earners
and laborers.
Under our present monetary system,
and until the agitation for the free
coinage of silver became a dangerous
menace to business and labor, we had
the most prosperous years ever known
in American history.

A significant example Of the change

the owners abandoned the claim. Ii

Official matter edited by the Repub-

A silver dollar weighs sixteen times
as much as gold dollar. This is what
is meant by the coinage of silver "at
the ratio of 16 to l."
Free" coinage OF silver means that
silver bullion, when brought to the
mint, shall be coined into dollars at
the expense of the United States gov
eminent, without cost to the owner.
By the unlimited" coinage of silver
is meant that all the silver, American
or foreign, brought to any of our minis

When the ratio of 16 to l was estab-
lished by the government, sixteen
ounces of silver bullion were worth, in
the market, just as much as one ounce
of gold bullion. A silver dollar and a
gold dollar were then worth precisely
the same, before they were coined,
when they were coined, or after they
were melted. The face value of a sill
yer dollar was it's actual value.
But of late years pure silver has de-
clined in value. so that now the COM
mercial ratio, instead Of being 16 to l.
is about 81 to 1. That is to say, an
ounce of gold bullion Is eXchangeable
for thirty-one ounces of silver bullion

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

Ridgeway, Pa, Sept 5.-Frank and
William Dodson, brothers. were arrested
at Spring Creek, this county, to-day. for
the murder of Louis Holman, a peddler,
and the shooting of II. Shakespeare, near
Dubois, on Wednesday last. Both men
have been identified by Shakespeare. They
are in Jail here, where they will remain
until Monday, when they will be taken
to Jefferson county, where the murder
was committed. Holman and Shakes
peare were driving along country road
when they were stopped by the two men.
n desperate fight ensued and in the battle
Holman was fatally shot, dying within
half an hour. Shakespeare was slightly
wounded The sheriff of the county
offered reward of 5000 for the arrest of
the men. There seems to be no doubt OF
the guilt of the two brothers
