THE GOLD DOLLAR.
Yellow Metal Friends Should Follow
Their Argument to All It's Conclusions.

Yellow Metal Friends Should Follow
Their Argument to All It's 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
10 one ounce of gold, but the commercial
ratio of gold to silver in 1889 for in
stance was 1910 to one. So that COM
mcrcially 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 1880 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 IS
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 it's
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 il not maintain the value of the
silver dollar in the same way ?-Mcm-
phis Commercial-ApDeal,

FOOL LOGIC

A Miners Forty-seven Per Cent. Profit on
F1fty-ThFee-Ceut Dollars.
In the same column a certain organ
tells the workingman that If he votes
for Bryan he will vote ~ per cent. Of his
wages into the pockets of mine own
ers, and that he vii vote to depreciate
not only the silver dollar but all the
currency to So cents on the dollar.
How can free silver coinage put Al
per cent. of each dollar coined into the
pocket of the silver miner and at the
same time reduce the value of the sill
yer dollar and all the currency depend
ent upon it to the value of So cents?
Any sclfooIboy can figure out that If
the value of the silver dollar depreciates
to SO cents or anything less than it's
face value the miner cannot make AZ
cents by its free coinage at the mints.
Or, to put it the other way, If the miner
makes AZ cents, the value of the silver
dollar viii have to be raised to the value
of the present gold dollar, in which case
there will be no depreciation of the cur
rency. The gold-standard advocate can
take his choice of alternatives, but not
both.
This is fair sample of the kind of
logic with which the goldite agents are
flooding the country. 1t proceeds on the
assumption that the workingmcn are
fools.--St. Louis Republic.

WHAT MAKES MONEY vALuEq
Like Everything Else, It Is Based ON the
Law of supply aud Demand.

Like Everything Else, It IL 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. It 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 to 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 it
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 rise of the value of bullion
70 the value of money. The latter
would depreciate as its supply in
creased and the prices of commodities
and the value of real property rose,

CURRENCY SUPPLY.
Free Coinage Does Not Mean Coming All
the COuntry's Silver.

Free Coinage Does Not Mean Coming AIl
the COuntry's silver.
Many of the gold standard organe
talk as though ''free and unlimited
coinage" necessarily means the coinage
of all the silver that is mined. II means
simply that the government shall ac-
cept such silver bullion as is presented
to it's mints, coin the same and return
the coin without charge to the owner
of the bullion. Under this arrange
ment by the operation of the great
economic law of supply and demand,
there will be presented foy coinage only
inst so much silver as will serve to meet
the countTy's need and demaLd for coin
money. Thus the rational and phil
osophical money system will be put in
force. The currency supply will be
rendered flexible. 1t will adapt itself
TO the varying demands of the country.
Business will be neither inflated by over
supply or hampered and squeezed ont
by scant allowance. Not all the silver
produced in the country will be dumped
into the mints for coinage. At tiIues
there viii probably not be as many siI.
yer dollars coined as used to be unde-
the Bland bill. But there will always
be enough. The increased use of silver
for coin will raise its price or value, and
take care Of the parity with goIds--

ARE THE PEOPLE FooLsq
a Brilliant Object Lesson Which Teache.
Nothing.

Nothing.
In old times, under old-fashioned gov
ernments, the people were considered
as children, to be slapped or petted as
their wise ruler saw fit, but, as far as
we know, in those good or bad old times,
the people were not generally con-
sidered fools. This view of their intel
ligence was reserved for the end of the
nineteenth century, and the advocates
of the gold standard. IfProof be needed
that the gold party considers the peo-
pie fools, it is found in the Mexican dol
lar trick. A large firm in Chicago and
a large newspaper in Philadelphia have
recently offered to their employees the
option of receiving their wages in GER
tain number of United States dollars or
nearly twice the same number of Next
can silver dollars. Therefore, free coin
age is robbery, anarchy, reputation,
etc! Was ever such an insult put upon
the intelligence of the American peo-
pie? Because the present demand for
silver bullion has given it a certain value,
it must always have the same value, no
matter how the demand for it varies!
That is what the people are asked to be-
Iieve and what the gold advocates try
to prove by their object lesson. Why
did they not make the offer of certain
number of American gold dollars or
double the same number of American
mot Mexican) silver dollars, or even
paper dollars? Because they are not
fools, though they think the people are.
To say that the American silver dollar
has twice the value of a Mexican dollar,
because the former is rcdeemable in
certain quantity of gold, and the lat
ter not so, is mere to trife with the
truth. People consider not whether
dollar will buy so much gold, but
whether it will pay dollars indebted
ness, public or private, and they value
it accordingly. An American silver dol
lar to-day is worth as much as gold
dollar, and the people are not such fools
as not to know this in spite of the silly
attempts to bulldoze them with the
Mexican dollar trick.-Irish World.
