The week opened with temperatures

The fact that three times as much
silver IS produced when silver bullion
sells for less than seventy cents an
ounce than there was produced when
silver bullion was worth 81 % an ounce,
Is regarded as conclusive proof that the
fall in the price Of silver has been due
to q decline In actual value.

How did the act OF 1873 affect silver?
II dropped the silver dollar from the
list OF coins which the mint was author
lied 10 coin. This had the effect OF
closing the inInts to the coinage OF silver
bullion IL private account, ms the only
silver coins authorized were OF limited
legal tender. Minor silver coins, such
az halves. quarters and dImcs, have
always been coined on government ac-
count from purchases OF silver bullion
made by the government at the market
price OF bullion.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

Why was that ratio changed?
Because the market value varied
from the mint ratio. and the effect was
TO drive from circulation the money
metal which was undervalusd by the
mint ratio. The currency committee OF

Why should inequality In the value OF
the bullion contents OF coins OF like
denomination expel the coin OF great
est value from circulation? Does II not
stand to reason that. II anything. peo-
pie would prefer the more valuable
coin?
People would prefer to get It. but not
TO give It, so the more valuable coin
ceases 10 pass. Hence the impossibility
Of keeping the coin OF greater value In
circulation alongside OF coin OF lesser
value, but Of the same denomination. 1t

Was It understood at the time that
this was the effect Of the bill?
The passage OF the act, Of 1873 did not
attract much attention nj the time, be-
cauBo coined money was not In clrcula-
lion. At that time treasury notes md
national bnnk notes constituted the
currency. The silver dollar had never
been In actual circulation to an anprc-
ciahlc extent. and the people took no In
tcrcst IN the question whether II should
be kept on the list OF full legal tender
coins. The original bill was prepared
In the treasury department In the win

Why is gold allowed TO be coined free
while SILVER Is not allowed free coinage?
Because the bullion value OF gold
coin Is equal TO It's face value. while the
bullion value Of the silver dollar is not
worth one-haIf OF It's face value.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

What Is meant BY the coinage ratio?
As everybody knows, gold Is more
valuable than silver In order 10 make
the silver dollar equal In intrinsic value
TO gold dollar, 1t Is necessary "a put
enough bullion In the silver dollar 10
make II equal In value to the bullion In
ttse gold dollar What is known as the
coinage ratio Is the number Of parts OF
stlver nxed BY law as the mint equlva-
lent OF one part Of gold.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

Is there free coinage OF gold:
Yes. In so, SO, IS and 81 80 pieces.
The coinage OF gold dollar pieces was
discontinued by the act OF September
20. 1890.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15
when vas that ratIo changed.


By the act OF June IS. 1884. At that
time the. market ratio was 1913 parts
OF silver to one part OF gold. but 1t was
thought likely that there would be n
further decline In the value OF silver on
account OF the large output OF the Mex
lean mines, and hence the ratio vas
axed al 1898 parts OF silver TO one OF
gold. 1t Is this ratio which Is spoken
OF In round numbers as Is to /.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

Do sixteen parts OF silver equal one
part OF gold?
No; silver Is bought and sold for less
than seventy cents an ounce, which
contains $50 grains. and at the ratio OF
sixteen 10 one. only little more than
hree-fourths OF an ounce Is put into the
silver dollar OF the present standard. 1t
takes about thirty-one parts OF silver
TO equal in value one part OF gold.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

How was that ratio fixed?
By taking gold and SILVER pieces in
circulation and finding how great
weight OF silver It took TO equal in value
given weight OF gold.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

What was the effect OF this change OF
ratio?
1t brought gold into circulation and
silver dollars went out OF circulation,
because sixteen parts Of silver were
worth more than one part OF gold.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

But has not that been the ratio at
which gold and silver has always been
coined in this country?
No. The original ratio was fifteen to
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

But. then. how is II that our silver
dollars are as good as gold, though only
worth half as much In bullion contents?
Because the mint Is closed TO owners
OF silver bullion, and all SILVER dollars
are coined by the government, which
accepts and redeemS them as equivalent
In value 10 gold dollars.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

What is meant by l6 toll?
II means that sixteen parts OF silver
shall be cdlned as the equivalent OF one
part OF gold.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-07-15

Urls Look Only on the Bright and
Pleasant Sides of Life.

A young man addresses to Edward w
Box the query: why is it that in so
many cases, I might almost say the ma
Jorlty OF cases, quiet, we'll behaved.
eafnest-minded, religious young mans
seriousness is ignored by so many girls
(oetween Il and 20), and the company of
slddy, idle, senseless youths preferred 2"
ana In the July Ladies' Home Journal
reply is made. Mr.. Box contends that
girls at that age take few things seri-
ously, and are not given to looking upon
the serious side of life; that only the
bright, pleasant side attracts them.
1t is only natural that to a girl of such
an age the young man of bright CONVEX
sation, fiippant and meaningless though
that talk may be, has an indefinable at
traction. She would far rather have it
that he can dance we'll than that he
can recite Emerson to her. 1t is the
dancing time of her life, and not the
Emersonian period. She is apt to no
tice mans clothes more than his char
acter She likes the man better who
pays her pretty compliment than the
one who says something serious =
The young who pays her graceful at
tentions is pleasing 10 her; she does not
seek to penetrate beyond the mere
compliment. And why should she?
Young men are simply one form of her
amusement; she does not take them any
more seriously than she does anything
else. The young man of presenta BILE
appearance, who dresses well and has
command of the small talk of society,"
is her girlish Jack-in- tho box. The more
attention he pays her, the more he flat
ters her, the better she is apt to like
him.
The earnest young man who has am
bltlon, who studies and learns, whose
talk is sensible rather than light, is a
Dit tiresome to her. She may admire
his high purposes so far as she can
grasp them. She may respect him.
But If she is going to a party she does
not want his company. She passes him
by for the other fellow who is graceful
in the dance. And is she to be blamed or
to be censured for this? Not bit of
it. While she is a girl she does as
natural, healthy girl should; she lives
her years of enjoyment and gets as
much pleasure out of them as she can.
For this she is girl. But if he will
watch her after she counts her years
with the figure two he will observe
that slowly but surely a process of
gradual development takes place in the
girl whom he believed to be without
thought or reason. And equally sure
Will be his discovery that the companion
OF her dances is not so eagerly welcomed
by her as once he was He will then
gradually discover that the girl is not
the light-minded butterfly that he
thought her to be. She becomes inter-
ested in other things; conversations
which bored her a year or two earlier
now begin to have some meaning for
her. She begins to regard the internal
value of things. She looks at young
men from a different standpoint The
young man who can simply dance we'll
does not represent the same thing to
her. She begins to look for something
else in the young men who come to her
