THE DOUBLE STANDARD AN IMPOS.
SIBILITY UNDER FREE COINAGE.

Governor Matthews, of Indiana, is
either badly deceived, or is trying to
deceive others, in regard to the effects
of free coinage at 16 to l. In a re-
cent letter, written for the purpose of
denying that he favored ''straddle"
on the silver question he says: 81
believe that positive declaration in
favor of silver for the maintenance of
the double standard, both silver and
gold. and for the speedy restoration
of silver to the position held prior to
1873, would bring to the country COM
plete and permanent prosperity"
It would seem from his advocacy of
return to the conditions previous to
1878, or in other words, free silver at
16 to l, that Governor Matthews fam
cies that this would give the country
the double standard. That such
opinions should be seriously held by
any man of average intelligence, much
less by the Governor of great State,
is evidence of the inability to reason
which the cheap money delusion
causes in its victims
By ''the double standard" is meant
the use as medium of exchange and
a measure of values of two metals of
different value, at a fixed coinage ra-
ito. If it were possible to fix ratio
which should be exactly the CONNER
cial ratio between gold and silver, and
that ratio should never change in the
slightest degree, the double stand
ard might be practicable. But
on the 16 to l basis which Gov
ernor Matthews proposes there
would not even be a pretense of keep
ing both metals in circulation. When
two metals of varying commercial
values are both made full legal tender
money, and the people are thereby
given their qdoice of paying all obliga.
tions in either of the two kinds Of
coins, law of trade which is as GER
tain as the law of gravitation operates
to drive out the more valuable money
and force the cheaper into use. If
this had not been proved thousand
times in the experience of countries
which have tried the experiment of O
debased currency, it could be seen to
be true by any man who would ask
himself this question: 'If I had two
dollars in my pocket, one worth 100
cents and the other 50 cents, and both
were legal tender in payment of debts,
which would part with?"
At 16 to the silver dollar would be
worth but little mofe than fifty cents.
Does any reasonable man suppose
that under such conditions the
people would pay for goods or services
in gold dollars when the law gave them
power to force their cheap silver dol
lars on their debtors? Certainly not.
The only money used would be silver
and the country would therefore be on
the single silver standard.
It ought to be understood once for
all, that the talk of the double stand
ard under free coinage is humbug
and a fraud. If Governor Matthews
thinks that by going into the silver
basis system of China and India we
would bring to the country complete
apd permanent prosperity" he is well
come to his peculiar and unfounded
belief. But he should at least be
honest enough to argue for it ca it's
merits, and not pretend that he favors
both gold and silver.-Whidden
