DISCRIMINATING AGAINST SILVER.


1t is the common habit of the silver
men to complain CT a discrimination
against the white metal, as if silver had
been born with certain iDalienable rights,
among them being the right TO go into
the mints on an equality with gold. In
decd Silver has been personifed by its
advocates until they have come to speak
OF it as one speaks Of human being
The phrases untrue TO silver" Gun
friendly to silver. - "dishonoring silver, :"
discriminating against silver ''de-
grading silver suggest to the MUD
sentient being, suit uron and abused.
The continuous use Of this sort of Ian
guage has done much to put it into the
heads of the people that the United States
government is under some kind of q
moral obligation to protect silver and
treat 1t on an equality with gold in all
respects, something like tie obligation
it is TO secure equal rights to the negro
with the white man. II will do much to
clarity ths discussion to get it out Of the
peoples heads that silver stands on any
different basis from any other metal; or
that the government is undcr any grester
obligation to it than to iron or copper or
nickel. The fact THAI the fathers in 1872
provided Tint ono of cur standard dollars
should be composed of silver of tain
weight and fineuess imposes no obliga-
tion upon their descendants, one hun
dred years later, to keep on coming the
same kind of dollar and making it IN
limited legal tender for all kinds of debts
Silver is to be treated on Its merits like
any other metal. if for any cause 1T has
bseotne inferior as money metal to gold
there is no reason why we should not
discard it, but The best of all reasons why
we should discard it, or at least make its
use for money secondary to that Of gold.
Nobody complains that iron has been
dishonoIed by tho use of steel or copper
by the use of aluminium. These TWO
