THE REAL BIMETALLISM.
lrg Commercial-Gazette.


Pittsburg Commercial-GaZette.
In spite of the injury to the cause OF
bimctallism which has been caused by the
advocacy OF free coinage by this country
alone. the genuine bimetallists are by no
means discouraged, but are working just
the same in the promotion of the cause
as If the handicap of distrust had not been
attached to them which the free coinage
and silver standard advocates have Great
ed in the name of bmetallism. Some
of the most distinguished bimetallists in
the old world have been quoted heretofore
as stoutly opposing the free coinage or
silver at this time by the United States
as a calamitous proceeding not only for
this country, but to the cause of interna-
tional bimetallism. The sound views OF
these advocate of the cause at nome and
abroad, whose earnestness is not ques-
toned, must have n salutary effect upon
those who really favor bimetallism but
who foolishly have been led to believe
that the present movement Is in the d.
rection of bimetallism, whereas 1t means
inevitably, under the conditions proposed,
a descent to the silver standard. The way
to increase the value of silver is TO stmu-
late the use of 1t in all countries. both Tor
money and other purposes, and thus
bringing II nearer the actual value or
gold.
No single country in the world can do
this for the whole world any more than 1t
can regulate the relative value of all the
crops in the world. The most that the
single country can do is to DO its share
The United states already has done this

snow-caps on Mars once more. This
time the professor is certain that the
discovery is genuine and not the result
Of blurred effects. His theory of a great
Martian snow-melting and interpolar
irrigation by means of the famous canals
is another question, which will require
many years, at the very least, for ade-
quate solution. In fact it will probably
be necessary for our grandchildren to
take the professors word on all ques-

A Silver Object Lesson.

| In noting the case of the Chicago
merchant who has procured n kegfull
Of Mexican dollars and offered to ex-
change one of them and so cents worth
of goods for an American gold backed
| silver dollar, the Toronto Globe OBJ
serves that the Mexican dollar thus
| freely offered for half an American dol
| lar is both heavier and of finer quality
| than the American" The average Mex
! lean dollar" it says, weighs .S661 of
an ounce of metal, 901-1000 fine. The
| American silver dollar, which Is pro-
| portionately heavier than the fractional
| silver. weighs only 1854 of an ounce
| and is only $40 fine. Yet for, one of
| these dollars the Chicago merchant Is
giving the heavier and finer Mexican
silver piece and so cents worth of goods
| OF course he can afford to do so and
| make a profit on the sale, as the Amer
| lean dollar is eXchangeable for 1914
grains of gold at the United States
| treasury, and consequently in every
other commercial institution of that and
other countries Reluctance to accept
it is due to uncertainty regarding the
permanence of the policy of redeeming
! the silver. But no treasury, bank or
other institution is bound to redeem the
Mexican dollar with 23A grains of gold,
nor with any other equally valuable
quantity of metal
The laws of that republic may de-
clare that it shall he accepted for one
| dollar, but do not maintain that the
dollar for which it is interchangeable
shall contain stipulated quantity Of
gold. The laws which hold that the
coin be accepted as dollar declare also
that it is a dollar, and that definition
of q dollar makes the law virtually de-
clare that the coin be accepted for
| itself. 1t has no artificial value such as
would be given by the willingness of
the Mexican treasury to redeem 1t with
more valuable coins. 1t is merely a
| Britain and the United States, and the
stamp of the mint guarantees it's weight
and fineness. It's value has shown no
| variation from that of other silver bull
lion. Early in 1892 it was worth 70
| cents. but fell to $50 cents before the
close of the year. In 1893 it varied from
| &c &C. To, - 4
| l. On Jan. /, 1894, it was worth So
| cents. but fell to sos cents on April /
and to 497 cents on July /. During 1895
it followed the fluctuations of the metal
| market, being worth 49.5 cents on Jan.
l and 479 cents on April /, rising to SIS
| cents during the latter half of the year.
| .The fluctuations are a proof that a
government fiat or mint stamp can give
no value to a piece of metal, that the
| fictitious value of the American silver
dollar is due not to stamp or fiat but
to the ability and Willingness Of the
| treasury to give more valuable piece
of metal for it on demand. The object
lesson of the keg of big silver dollars,
each to be given in lieu of so cents
change. cannot fail to have an educa-
tlonal effect The customer who ac-
cepts a Mexican dollar in change in
preference to an American half-dollar
/ finds that he has merely double the
weight of metal to carry, but no COM
| pensating advantage. The enactment

The Only BimetalliSm.

We invite attention to the following
truths from the Chicago Times Herald:
mo silver standard country has any
gold in its currency. Every gold stand
ard country has silver in its currency.
There is no such thing as concurrent
circulation of the two metals on equal
terms at the mints.
"Where silver is the standard gold
will not run. Where gold is the stand
ard silver runs co-ordinately in limited
coinage only. Mexico, silver standard
country, has no gold. Japan, silver
standard country, with 4oOOO,00O people,
has no gold. India, with its 296,O00,O0O
of people, has no gold. China, with its
the other hand, Germany, with $1,000,
600 of people, carries full legal tender
silver to the amount of $lO5, 600, OOO Bel
GUM, with it's 100000 of people. has
full legal tender silver to the amount Of
S4S, 100000 Switzerland, with 100000
of people and $14,O00,O0O in gold, has le-
gal tender silver to the amount of S10,-
100000 France has full legal tender
silver exceeding i3OOOO,OOO. The United
States, with 7O,OOOOOO of people, has
more than S5OO,OOO,OOO full legal tender
silver.
mo country on the gold standard
opens it's mints to the unlimited coin
age of silver. That is the reason silver
is current in these countries as full le-
gal tender with gold. Will the Ameri-
can people retain their silver at it's pres
ent valuation of 100 cents to the dol
lar, or, abandoning the only practicable
system of bimetallism, will they sacri-
flee all their gold and go down to the
level of China, India, Japan and
Mexico?"
An honest dollar means progress.
Cheap money means retrogression.
History teaches this. Common sense
confirms it. Where will the American
electorate decide to stand in the prem
ises?
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-08-27

of free coinage law in the United
States would have no effect on the
purchasing power or value of the Mex
lean dollar in Chicago or anywhere
else, but 1t would reduce the purchas-
ing power Of the American dollar and
other silver coins one-half. That would
bring the two big coins almost to an
equality, the Mexican being a little the
more valuable. Mr.. Bryan holds that
a free coinage law would make an ap-
preciable demand for silver. and, in
consequence, an appreciable increase
in its purchasing power. But, with all
Difference to the boy orator, 1t is evil
dent that the currency could settle to
a silver basis without a noticeable de-
mand for the white metal. The gov
ernment would scarcely attempt to
maintain the parity by the payment
of gold. and there would be no induce
ment to present silver for coinage, as,
like gold at present. it would be as
The credit of men or corporations rich
in silver, gold, iron, tin, leather, petro-
leum, wool, cotton or real estate could
serve as currency to effect the exchange
Of commodities then as now. All cred
itors would lose and all debtors would
gain, and the working classes and
others whose remuneration is kept down
by what may be called sentiment would
find it impossible to increase their re-
turns in proportion to the decrease in
the buying power of money. Their diff
fculties would be increased by the col
lapse of many commercial and indus
trial firms and the consequent additions
to the unemployed"
This is disinterested testimony based
on plain common sense. 1t ought to
have tenfold more weight with rational
voters than the excited yawping Of
chronic of1ice-seekers.
