THE BOY sCHooLMAsTER.
Supply and Demand.

If the mints We're thrown open
for the free coinage OF all the sill.
yer anybody in the world desired
to have made into dollars at the
ratio of sixteen to one, it is certain
that these dollars would have to
circulate at their actual bullion
value.
The commercial price of silver
today is about 65 cents an ounce,
and the 37IH grains of pure metal
in dollar are worth about so
cents. The Government has some
difficulty in keeping the present
large but limited amount of silver
currency at an equality with gold.
Take off the limit, and coin into a
new dollar every fifty cents
worth of silver that anybody chooses
to send to the mints, and the Gov
eminent could not keep silver
dollars at the artificial level; they
would pass at their intrinsic value.
If it became apparent that this
country were going to adopt free
coinage there might be prelimi-
nary boarding of silver to be de-
lYered at the mints when opened,
and this temporary scarcity in the
market supply might stimulate a
brief speculative rise in the price
until it was nullifed by the in
creased production which would
attend The advance. History
demonstrates that the market value
OF The mass of existing bullion
would fix the value of the coins.
The overilowing OF the country
with silver currency would be very
rapid, because the owners of bull
lion would not wait for its coinage,
but would provide for It's issue OF
circulating certificates Immediately
upon delivery of the bullion at the
mints.
Even now such certificates form
a part of the medium of exchange
and are negotiable at the market
value from day to day OF the bull
lion they represent Silver cerli6-
Gates are, what their name implies,
receipts for stored silver, They
are issued by the Mercantile Safe
Deposit Company, OF New York,
and each certificate represents one
thousand ounces. A charge OF one
cent a day is made Tor this stor'
age. AS these warehouse receipts
are much more convenient to han
die than the bullion they usually
sell higher. This difference oI
value iluctuates, sometimes daily.

TnE question before Congress
rms, whether it is now safe aud ex-
pedient to offer free coinage to the
ihe silver dollar of 4IaH grains,
with the mints Of the Lain Union
closed, and Germany not permit
ting silver to be coined as money,
At current rates OF silver, the
free coinage of dollar containg
4I2H grams, worth in gold about
ninety-two cents, gives an Wegfh-
mate pyeMto the owner OF the bull
bon, enabling him to take ninety
two cents worth Of It to The mint
and get il stamped as com, and
force his neighbor to take il for a
full dollar This is an undue and
unfair advantage which the Gov
crnment has no rightto give to The
owners Of silver bullion, and which
aeirauds the man who is forced to
take the dollar

Ir is a fundamental princi

lT is a fundamental princi-
pie in coinage, recognized and
followed by all the statesmen
of America in the past, and
never yet safely departed
from, that there can be only
one basis upon which gold and
silver can be concurrently
coined as money, and that
basis is equality, not in weight
but in the commercial value
of metal contained in the re-
spectiye coins.

nothing in its place. But the sill
yer sentiment grew until 1890, and
in that year the opponents Of free
coinage, being afraid Of the pas
sage OF free coinage bill, secured
another compromise, which was
known as the Sherman law"
This is certainly astonishing
news to every one at all familial
with the financial legislation of the
United States.
Neither the enemies nor tho
friends OF free silver repealed the
Bland act "and left nothing in it
place" The Bland act was IN tul
