gold thus liberated by us and added to
the worlds stock, increasing its sup
ply to that amount, would not affect
Its market value. and the absorption
OF silver necessary to fill this vacuum
would wholly fail to increase its value.
Mr.. Carlisle can stand before an audi

that the expectation of all our gold
would not affect the value of silver,

arguments are unanswerable /; but

AT Chicago Mr.. Carlisle argued that
should we restore silver to its ancient
place at our minis, the 5000, 900, 900 OF
gold-all we have-would at once dis
appear; that the present commercial
value of silver as measured by the ap-
preciated gold standard would remain
exactly the same; so that we would
have less money of about one-half the
value of that which we now possess.
We believe this is fair statement of
Mr.. Carlisle's position. He would
have the working-men of the country
believe that all the gold in the country
would at once cross the ocean, If we
had free coinage of silver. and that the
scarcity of money caused by the out
flow of this vast amount of gold would
have no influence in increasing the
value OF silver, the only money left to
our use. In other words, If. in addi-
ton to the function that silver already
performs in our monetary system, it
should be compelled to assume the
function gold performs, this additional
use would not affect its value. Ac-
cording to this argument use and de-
mand have nothing to do with value;
that 1920, 600, 600 OF gold could be add
ed to the stock Of the worlds free gold,
because of its displacement in this
country by silver, yet gold as COM
