THE PROFIT TO THE BANK-THE COMMERCIAL.
VALUE OF SILVER NOT REGULATED BY
THE COINAGE RATIO.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Please answer these questions for me
First-Do banks profit more or less than the Gov
eminent by issuing notes?
Seconds 1t true that previous to 1873 the coinage
ratio Of gold and silver always ruled the market
ratio
Thrd-Would It stll do II international BIZ
metalism could be secured?
FOURTH have seen this statements It correct?
centuries shows that any Joint coinage ratio
adopted by the chief commercial nations fixes the
market ratio within or 2 per cent. no matter
what the relative output of the two metals"
Fifth-What caused the panic of 1873?
Il. +. ALEXANDER.
l. The Government is not in the business of is-
suing notes to make money. The banks II
the legal-tender notes (greenbacks) consid-
cred as forced loan. and it is assumed that the
Government would have TO borrow equal
amount Of money on bond in they were with
drawn then IL may he said that the Government
saves about per cent the amount Of its notes
outstanding When bank funds are lending at g
per cent bank which invested in United States
bonds at current market rates with which to Sc
cure circulation would make about one-third of l
per cent on its note circulation. II 1t could lend
its funds at ) per cent only 1t would make A
larger profit by taking out circulation. If 1t could
lend its funds at per cent its profits on crcula-
tion woIld be wiped out; and il 1t could get more
than per cent the circulation would be an item
Of expense. instead Of profit.
. 1t is not true. From 1892 to 1894 the United
States coinage ratio was Il to l. but the CONNER
cal ratio meanwhile nuctuated between ID to J..
where it stood when he coinage ratio was adopt
ed. and 16.2J TO | in 1913. From 1884 70 1913 the
coinage ratio was IL to ]. but the commercial
ratio meanwhile fucuated between 1J.93 to
In 1S4:} and II 10 to in 1850 During the former
period silver always sold in the market for less
than its mint valuation. During the latter period
silver always sold in the market for more than its
mint valuation.
3. What would happen under international hi
metallism is an open question.
f. There never has been joint coinage ratio
therefore the history OF coinage cannot possibly
show what has taken place under IT, There never
has been period of more than two years When

THROWING AWAY THE PEOPLES MONEY.
THE REFUSAL OF CONGRESS TO AUTHORIZE THE
ISSUE OF GOLD BONDS
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The Popocrats are making a good deal Of
capital out OF what they claim to be facts They
say that the Morgan syndicate made the Govern
ment offer Of sl6.oOo.oOO for the last bonds
II they would make them payable in gold. and that
the Government was robbed OF that amount.
II VIII pay them in gold anyway. / wish you
would answer through The Tribune. and let
truly. W. ". HENRY
Salem. Ohio. Aug To-
(The Belmont Morgan syndicate, which took
the bond issue of February. 1895, and paid for
the bonds in gold. made two propositions TO the
Government. One was to accept Coin bonds
at price which would make the annual interest
charge to the Government 3a4 per cent The
other TO accept gold bonds at a price
which would make the annual interest charge
to the Government only 3 per cent. In other
words. they offered higher price for gold
bonds than for coin bonds. The saving to the
Government If the alternative offer had been
accepted would have been $160000O0
President Cleveland appealed to Congress to
authorize an Issue OF gold" bonds, in order that
the saving might be effected, he had no au-
thority under existing law to issue anything but
by vote Of 100 to 1G7 refused to grant the de-
sired auth orty. and the contract was closed on
the more expensive basis. Undoubtedly the
Government was mulcted of S160OOOOO, but the
responsibility rests with the Democratic House
of Representatives and not with the syndicate.
The syndicate made fair business proposition
to Congress by which $16,000,00C Of the peoples
money would have been saved. The Govern
ment was to receive gold for the bonds and all
that was asked of Congress was to say In so
many words, that gold would be repaid The
bonds or half of ther,. were to be hoated in
Europe. where people are not so confident as In
this country that the Government Will pay op-
legations in gold when II declines so to stpulate
in the instrument Of obligation They would
have been worth more in the European market
II they had contained the word gold instead
of coin" A Democratic House OF Representa-
tives while protesting with its mouth that gold
would be repaid. declined to put the word gold
in the bonds. and thus remove the last possible
ground for doubt. It's obstinacy cost the Ameri-
can people over $4,000 000.-(Ed.
