THE GOLD DOLLAR.
Yellow Metal Friends Should Follow
Their Argument to All Its Conclusions.

Yellow Metal Friends Should Follow
Their Argument to All Its Conclusions.
From 1884 to 1873 the gold dollar was
always worth from one to five cents
less than the silver dollar. The legal
ratio made 16 silver ounces equivalent
to one ounce of gold, but the commercial
ratio of gold to silver in 1859 for in
stance was 1910 to one. So that COM
mercially gold was below the value es-
tablished for it by law. If under these
circumstances gold had been demon
etized, dropped from its position as a
standard metal, and denied free coinage,
can anyone doubt that it's value would
have steadily deteriorated? For it must
be remembered that since 1850 the pro-
portion of the production of gold to
silver has greatly increased. Before
that year, during the first half of the
present century, the world produced rs
per cent. more silver than gold. Since
that year it has been the other way.
Silver has been less plentifully produced
than gold. The free and unlimited
coinage of gold, however, has kept its
value up, while the demonstration of
silver has forced that metal down. If
free coinage makes the gold dollar
worth always as much as itself, as our
goldbug contemporary claims, why
should it not maintain the value of the
silver dollar in the same wQy?-Mem-
phis Commercial-Appeal.

An Englishman. Working in This Coun'
try, Says It Is in Free silver.
An Englishman who holds RESPONSE
BILE position with one of the leading es
Establishments of Chattanooga met q
bold bug, and the latter began q
lengthy eXpostulation on the financial
question. The Englishman said moth
ing until the gentleman concluded by
saying: "Of course, being an English
man, you are in favor of the gold stand
ard?
II am most decidedly in favor OF free
silver" was the reply. IF had favored
the single standard and been willing to
put up with the condition of the work
ingmen in England never would have
left that dear, old country. The Eng
lish workman, under the British gold
standard, is not nearly so we'll off as the
American has been until the adoption
of the present standard, but now he is
fast approaching that condition where
all the money is in the hands of the
fnanciers and al the poverty on the
heads of the producing laborers. The
only hope that I can see for the Amer
lean workman is in the adoption of
the free-silver proposition"
The Englishman then requested the
News man, who happened to hear the
conversation, not to use his name, say
ing: my employer is strong gold
man, and he would doubtless discharge
me. "--Chattanoog News.

Financial Development in s,exico.

There seems to be a remarkable finan-
cial development going on in Mexico.
A number of the great foreign banks
have been looking into that field, and
several of them have arranged for i'm
portant branches, the most notable be-
ing a branch of the Deutsche bank.
The Bank of London, which Is located
in the City of Mexico, is about to in
crease its capital from 100000 to s10,-
100000. The particularly notable fea-
ture of this movement is found in the
fact that the new capital is to be sub
scribed entirely by local financial in
terests. The lerge dry goods houses and
textile manufacturers will be chiefly in
terested in the increased capital. =

South Dakota has thousands OF
acres of choice farming and ranch
land lying east of the Missouri river,
and within one days ride from Chica

bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end of another year may
be advanced in price.
The stock-raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, ard Eastern cap

and sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of
live stock, and the products of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore

Western States.

WHAT MAKES MONEY VALUES
Like Everything Else, IL Is Based on the
Law OF supply aud Demand.

Like Everything Else. It Is Based on the
Law of supply aud Demand.
The assumption that with unlimited
minting the value of the silver dollar
would fall to the present bullion value
of silver is, while common, wholly err
roneous. 1t ignores the fundamental
law, viz: that the value of money does
not depend upon that of the material
on which it is stamped, but upon the
supply of money relative to demand
Under this law, which appears 30 have
been first affirmed by Aristotle, and
which is confirmed by every reputable
political economist, the value of the sill
yer dollar could not fall to the present
gold value of silver bullion unless the
supply of money were at once doubled
or one-half the demand for it were
cut off. AS free coinage would not
cut off any part of the demand, and as
it would not double the quantity of
money, the worlds entire quantity of
surplus silver bullion available for free
coinage at the American minis not ex-
ceeding one per cent. of our circula-
ton, the volume Of money would not
be doubled. On the contrary, while II
would increase, the increase would be
gradual. Therefore silver money
could not fall to the present value OF
silver bullion. What would take place
would be O rise of the value of bullion
to the value of money. The latter
would depreciote as its supply in
creased and the prices Of commodities
and the value of real property rose,
but the decline in silver would be no
greater than in that of gold money.
Dollars of all kinds, whether stamped
on gold, silver or paper, would buy
less, and it is absolutely necessary that
their purchasing power shall be dirnin-
ished if industry is to revive and pros
per. When the farmer has TO give IS
bushels of oats for it the dollar is ruin
ously dear.-Dubuque Telegraph.

MORE ABOUT HONEST DOLLARS
They Are Those That Preserve Stable
Relations with Commodities.

They Are Those That Preserve stabl,
Relations with Commodities.
The honest dollar, so-called, is tn,
dollar which does what it promised t.
do. In generals says Mr.. A. j. Warner
president of the Bimetallic league
that is an honest dollar which main
tains a parity with the things it meas
ures in daily relations to commodities
That, too, is manifestly the best dollar
and the best kind of money"
The term "honest rooney" however,
las been taken By TIE gold men to
mean gold alone, and they speak al
ways hypocritically when they thus re-
fer to it.
BY honest" money is usually meant
that which will buy the most, and, of
course, in that view OF it the dearer
it becomes the honester it gets. The
honest" way to increase the value
of money would be to increase the
weight of the coins. then all could I'M
derstand how it was done, and what it
really meant. There are two ways to
double the value of metallic coins; one
is to double the weight of coins; the
other TO destroy, or demonetize, half
the metal out of which money can be
made. The latter is the way taken to
make money honest" in 1873; by de-
stroying half the worlds money they
doubled the value of the other half.
The effect of this may be illustrated
by single fact.
1t is now everywhere admitted that
the price level of things generally has
fallen fully so per cent. since the de-
monetization OF silver in 1873, which
is the same thing as an increase of 100
percent. in the value of money; for when
Il dollar will buy in general twice what
it would formerly buy, it has doubled
in value or increased purchasing power
fully 100 per cent.
Besides the infinite injustice caused
indirectly by a money standard that
is constantly increasing in value as the
gold standard, the indirect effect upon
trade and industry is benumbing and
deadening. AS money rises in value
prices fall, trade becomes hazardous,
forced into idleness. Hence the truth of
the observation made by Hume long
ago, that an increasing volume of
money is attended always by stagnant
trade and restricted production. 1t
is, therefore, perfectly safe to conclude
when one is heard prating about "hon-
est money" that he is either not sincere
or does not understand what he is talk
