ard of $50 grains being one ounce Troy.
The name of one of the round discs Is Il
Sovereign which. when not worn con
tains1 130016 grains Of gold. and the name
Of that quantity of gold by a weight stand
ard Is zone pound sterling" Thut weight
standard formerly meant $3.50 grains of
pure silver or pound Troy of pure silver
This weight standard or designation OF
l13.0016 grains of gold contained in the
lawful coin known ns sovereign" has be-
come u monetary term, having lost Its
original significance when the silver pound
was debascd. This confusion of language
originating in fraud has led to the con-
fusion of thought even with such able
men as ex-senator Reagan. The same
fraud would be committed under the
forms of law If under II force bill or act
of legal tender 412h grains of silver in
corporatcd In n coin named a dollar"
should be put upon the public as IL IL were
of legal value TO dollar made of gold con-
thinning 25.S grains, when ii is not of equal
value; hardly equal to half that value.
II will be well for this country aud for
every other when the names of coins are
again adjusted to the true weight of metal
IN each coin. What is needed is not an
international treaty of bimetallism, so
called, but an international treaty for
unifying the coinage of the world so that
every coin whether made of gold or silver
would Indicate by its name exactly how
much gold or silver there was in the coin.
1t is the duty of the government of the
United States under the Constitution, NOT
only to coin money but to regulate the
value of the coin. That provision is in
practice and always has been four times
year by proclamation of the Secretary
of the Treasury. The value of coin of
| this and other countries is regulated by
| finding out what the pure metal In each
coin is worth; that IL to say, at what rate
| the community values it, and then stat
| ing the value of every foreign coin In its
| ratio to every American coin according
| to the value of the bullion or pure metal
that there is in each coin. Therefore il is
4 that while the value of gold coin ehch In
ratio to the other remains stable, the value
| OF silver foreign coin regulated to the
standard or unit of value of this country
| is varied by proclamation according to
| law with the market value of the bullion
or silver that there is in each coin. II is
AS impossible for the government to fix
| the value of silver or gold as il is
to fix the value of cotton or corn,
or copper, or iron. All that the gov
eminent can do is to convert bullion
from the form of ingOts into the round
discs of metal which are called coins,
and to certify the weight and quail
| ity of each coin by its stamp Whenever
government attempts by its fiat to es-
tahlish or fix the value of either coin that
act leads to fraud confusion, depression
and loss. Edward Atkinson.

The three questions bring the issue
squarely to the front. Although Judge
Reagan appears to deny that the Chicago
platform as construed by Candidate
Bryan, is intended to take away from the
people of this country any choice and
distinctly to put stop to special contracts
in terms of gold, Candidate Bryan has an
nonnced that purpose in his speeches and
it is in the platform. True, it cannot he

ton or without packing the Supreme
Court to that end.
