The Prtco of silver.

Even the so-called doctrinaires dif-
fer widely in financial opinions. Not
all the college economists are on the
side Of the gold standard. The ten
dency Of the times is toward liberal
discussion, and this sometimes brings
about n change Of heart. The COL
lego idea is free trade and free
speech. II may yet evolve free sill
yer. One of the authorities on econ
omics is Prof. Walker, of Yale COL
legc. His experience does not find
that the decline in silver is due en-.
tirely to its augmented production.
In his work on money, Trade and
Industry" page 1877, Prof. Walker
says:
The two metals gold and silver
had. for 15 years. been held together
by n tie which did not allow even the
foods Of Californian and Australian
gold. unprecedented in the history
OF the world, to move the silver price
of gold permanently more than IL
points in 100. which did not permit
their relative value to change greatly
between the time when three dollars
in silver was produced to one dollar
in gold, and the time when one dol
lar in gold was produced to twenty
seven cents in silver. Yet no sooner
was the tie snapped, this purely
legal arrangement broken up. than
gold and silver rushed apart with a
violence which in three years caused
maximum variation OF / and 1.
''In the face Of such facts the mon.
ometalists OF this country have in
sisted that law was perfectly impo-
tent to affect the value of meney
metals; that the change in the silver
price Of gold from 1868 in 1873 to
20.17 in July, 1876, was due to natu
raj and commercial causes; that the
traditional relation of the two met
ais which had born the Siberian, Cal
iiornian and Australian gold discov.
cries. with so little OF immediate
shock and permanent change, haC
given way at last under the yield o
the silver mines Of Nevada"
That tic. that purely legal arrange.
ment. was the free coinsgc Of boil
gold and silver. or the abandon

tury will be searched in vain for

and pepper and salt. Mix these to

all the holes in the heart with stufing

boil out. After it has boiled slowly
