meager. and so the accused was acquit-

he remained. His lawyer, to whose sue

There being no more cases to be heard
the court was getting empty. when the

some asperity, why he didn't go. The

LESSON IN SILVER.

Object Lesson To BE Had Out Of Japanese
t''T Experience.
There IL an object lesson to be had
out OF the experience of the Japanese,
in free silver coinage. which find very
effective In the state Of California In
clearing up the doubts Of the working
men on the coinage question.
The Japanese yen contains s74.75
grains of silver. The American dollar
contains 311.25. The Japanese $40 gold
piece contains 231,4o grains of pure
gold, while the American $40 gold piece
contains 222.2 grains. The weights,
therefore. are quite alike. japan le-
gally keeps the 16 to 1 ratio.
II, however, you enter any one Of the
exchange shops In Toxic. Yokohama.
Kobe or NagasaN. and hand over a
SO Japanese gold piece. or an Ameri-
can $40 gold piece, the dealer will re-
turn 70 you without hesitation and as \
matter OF business, not ten silver dol
lars, but $3.50 In silver. II you hand
him ten silver dollars and ask for gold
he returns to you about IS in gold.
In spite of the ratio Of 1s to 1 estab-
lished by law, the dealing is put en-
tireiy on the commercial ratio. and no
one disputes It.
The Japanese who use foreign prod
ucts see the difference when they are
compelled to pay so cents per pound
for coffee and rs cents per pound for
American butter.
Many Industrious and honest work
men believe that a government has the
power TO and can control the ratio be-
tween the metals. But when they
clearly comprehend that the great
Japanese nation cannot do II. 1t opens
their eyes. Moreover. japan is almost
entirely independent of foreign ma

GOLD BACKS THEM.
And This Is the Only Reason Why Stand
ard Silver Dollars Pass at Par.

And This Is the Only Reason Why Stand
ard silver Dollars Pass at Par.
II is clear that the reason that the
silver dollars pass for 100 cents today
is because the government is behind
them with gold, by special act Of con-
gress. and not because they bear the
stamp OF the government. The stamp
only certifes that they are issued
by the United States government, and
is a guarantee that they contain 41211
grains OF standard silver. Under free
coinage act the government would buy
no silver bullion nor coin any silver
dollars for its own account. but only
coin them for the silver mine owners
and any one bringing silver bullion
to the mint, not dollar OF which
would go into the United States treas
ury, but would be given to the parties
bringing the bullion. and would be
coined at the expense OF the govern
ment.
Therefore the government would not
be under any obligation, either legal
or moral, TO redeem dollars coined on
individual account, and would not as
sumo any obligation 10 do so. No
party proposes that It should or would
do so, and under free coinage II never
did do So
Therefore the silver dollar would have
nothing behind II but its bullion value
and would be in the same condition
as the Mexican dollar. The reason the
Mexican dollar can be bought today
in Wall street at SO cents is because
the Mexican government does not stand
behind II and does not promise to do
so. and not because of its inability 70
doso. The question of the relative ability
of the United States government and
the Mexican government TO keep silver
dollars at par with gold is not at
issue. as neither of them promises 10
do so under free coinage. and the sill
yer dollars OF both would have moth
Ing behind them but their bullion value.
