In the discussions on free coinage of
silver it is frequently claimed that re-
turn to conditions prior to the so called
"Crime of 1873" would restore bimetal-
lism i'll the United States. No more
erroneous idea than that can be con
celved. Our monetary history demon
strates cOncluslvely that but one stand
ard can exist at time; that when silver
is the cheaper metal it will drive out gold,
and when gold Is relatively the cheaper
metal 1t will drive out silver under free
coinage of both metals.
A glance at the past will make clear
this contention. Soon after the birth of
this republic, III the year 1892, it was de-
termined to provide for a currency of
both gold and silver distlnctively Amerl-
can. Alexander Hamilton, secretary of
the treasury, was authorized to draw I'D
the coinage measure. Hamilton cast
about long time before determining
upon the ratio between the two metals.
silver and gold. He realized that unless
the legal ratio conceded with the market
ratio bimetallism was an imposs1billty,
hence the care exercised in ascertaining
the market ratio. Finally he decided
upon the ratio 1:15. But Hamilton had
misgivings as to whether that ratio
would succeed IL securing both metals
as currency. 1t would furnish us silver
but whether gold would be taken to the
minis for coinage was a question. We
shall see how his fears were realized.
During the first ten years after the
coinage act of 1892 went into effect both
GOLD and silver were taken TO the mint in
about equal quantities. But by 1906
silver began to gain, and during the snc-
ceeding twenty-five years the amount of
silver taken to the mints for coinage
steadily Increased over gold. In 1927
the total coinage of gold amounted to
1872 600, and of silver S2,S69,000
Why was silver taken to the mint IN
preference to gold? For the simple reason
that change had taken place in the
market values of the two metals, which
made 1t more profitable to coin silver
than TO sell it in the bullion market, The
Mexican silver mines had been increasing
their output for several years, and the
increased supply of silver caused its
value to fall. The market ratio and the
com ratio no longer correspondent. By
lolO the market ratio of silver to gold
was nearly l:16, that Is, 1t took nearly
sixteen ounces OF silver to buy one ounce
OF gold, while IN 1892 it ok only fifteen
ounces. But when coined fifteen ounces
of silver were still worth one ounce of
gold. The nebt paying power of SILVER
was thus increasd. Gold began II dis
appear as money as early as 1908 and by
1916 silver had become the sole metal
currency. Thus while We were nomInally |
on bimetallic, in reality we were on
silver basis. This silver period lasted to ,
1884. 1t is fortunate that the fall in
silver was gradual. 1t gave business
time TO accommodate itself to the altered
conditions.
During the latter part of this period !
agitation was active to bring gold back |
into circulation. In 1884 another coinage |
act was passed with this object in view. |

Who would benefit if a change we're
made from the present gold basis to the
silver basis at the ratio of 1911? First OF
all the silver mine owners. Suppose a
mine produces 100000 worth of silver
year. This silver can be disposed Of in
the bullion market or at the mint. Sup
pose now the coin ratio is 1:l6 and the
market ratio is 81 as at present. To
what market will the silver be taken ?
Evidently to the mint, for there the
100000 worth OF silver can be trans
formed into 100000 legal tender. This
would be protection for the mine owner
with vengeance. Are democrats ready
to forsake traditions as old as the party
and vote to enrich the silver mine owners?

The Amigo News Item in arguing in
favor of silver says that when silver was
demonetized IN 1873 it was worth as
much as gold. 1t means of course that
the legal ratio that time was about the
same as the commercial ratio. There is
no dispnting the axiom that equality Of
values may be secured by increase of
quantity IN the less valuable metal, and
that is what has been done with silver
ever since both metals were used as
money. There can be no absolute and
unchanging ratio of value between two
products. Silver has fallen from : to
to 81 to |. Why not go back to the
earliest ratio of I to /?
Ii, as The News says, decentralization
IN 1873 caused reduction in the value
or silver by deprlving it OF value except
as commodity, the law OF contraries
must have been governing. as almost
S5oo,OO0,OoO of silver have either been
coined or have served as basis for silver
certificates In circulation. since the de-
monetization, as against an insignificant
sum prior to that time. No great dis
crmlnatlon against silver in keeping il
on par with gold on ratio of l6 To
when Its market value was less through
out the world. 1t is a queer kind Of
demonstration which from nothing has
put IN circulation about S50O.OOOOOO and
given 1t full legal tender.
Ii as The Item says silver. when coined
free, Will pass current with gold among
all nations, why is il not true of the
Mexican dollar whose intrinsic value il
greater than ours? That passes only for
Its bullion value. Why does the silver
dollar OF those countries having restrict
ed coinage pass current with gold among
sill nationsS
