THE BOY THINKERS THEORY.

An inuulsltlye auditor, who confessed that he
was horrible gold bug, interrupted the BOY
Talkcr at New-London yesterday TO ask ~"
questions about parity under free coinage MI
Brvan declared that he was glad TO have ques-
tions asked for. he said, "If am wrong on inns
question. there Is nobody more anxious 10 'iliu
.t out than | am" This was his reply TO the
mans questions: The reason why our goiu
dollar and gold bullion are worth the same j.
"becausc the law says that you can convert thn'
bullion into n dollar nj the mint. when the
"Iovs are So under the free coinage OF silver,
THAT the holder of silver bullion can convert
.silvcr bullion into dollars at the mint, that VIII
fix n mint price for silver then, as we nave
mint price for gold now and silver dollars VIII
"be worth as much abroad as our gold dollars.
This Is certainly rs lucid as II Is positive. IL
shows exactly what the free-sver idea is The
ONLY trouble with il is that 1t does not accord with
the facts of history. If free coinage of gold ana
silver at the ratio OF 16 10 | will perform TINS
miracle for silver now, why did not the sim
liar law which was on the statute books from
1884 TO 1913 do like service for gold then!
During all that period of thirty nine years there
never was day when the holders of both gold
AMI silver bullion were not equally free to take
their bullion to the mint and have it stamped into
dollars: and during all that period there never
was a day when one ounce of gold was equal
in value 10 sixteen ounces Of silver. or when one
gold dollar was equal 10 one silver dollar. either
at home or abroad. Even the Boy Thinker, with
all his ignorance. cannot have the hardihood 10
deny that How, then, without something more
than his mere say-Go for proof can he ask the
country 10 accept the theory that the law VIII
do for silver what It failed TO do for gold!
Instances of similar failure of the theory TO
work might be multiplied indefinitely. The eX-
perience Of every country that ever coined money
might be cited in evidence, and has been so cited
over and over again. If Mr.. Bryan is sincere III

about time he stopped talking and began TO think
and study? If he IS arguing the silver cause
merely as an advocate before jury, isn't it
about time he stopped talking and began to pre-

soon now.
