TO conclude, in 1897 Spain fixed the
ratio betwe e gold and silver at l02 to
]. Then America was discovered and
from her new possessions Spain OBJ
tanned a monopoly OF gold and tixe'
the ratio at 133 to l, and all other
nations had to acquiesce. In the next
century Portugal, not half as large as
Louisiana, by her possessions else
where, secured the monopoly Of the
metals and raised the standard to IL
to l. and in the following century
Spain again came to the front and
the rates to 154 to l. During
the present century it was again fixed
at 16 to l by the United States. Tn
each case all nations had to dcquiescc
in the ratio cpportioned by the gov
eminent hasing the most metal.
In 1898 the worlds production of
gold was $155,521,7 ZOO; of this S49,-

In 1S91-2-3 more than Sl43,-
900, 600 worth Of silver was coined and
used in the arts, Of which only S4S,-

the bulk of gold and silver is produced

fact, why cannot the United States

and it not, then why not?
