If this government should open it's hints to coinage of the world silver at 16 to l, we would go at once to silver monometallism. This is the voice Of all history emphasized by the present status of every free coinage country on the earth. We can no more have bimetal- hsm in actual use and unlimited silver coinage than we can have square, round object or dry, wet weather Wherein would the people be benefited if they get double prices in half value money? If farmers products brought double prices, so would the manufactur- ers'. The benefits and advantages would be equal, except that buyers would al- ways deduct enough to safely cover the fluctuations of silver, and this amount would be dead loss to producers and premium to speculators. l knew a boy who sold cur dog for $100, but he took pay in pups at $20 apiece, so he was not materially benefited by tho inflated prices.
