The Evasive Ratio.

Gold and silver coins are recognized
by all commercial nations OF the WORT
as the best standards of value, as the
measure OF every article. of desire, Of
everything that Is bought or sold. Those
two metals not only measure all other
things, but they measure each other.
Theirrelative value constantly changes.
Twenty-three years ago sixteen ounces
of silver were worth. more than one
ounce Of gold. Now thirty-one ounces
Of silver can be bought by one ounce Of
gold. This fluctuatlon of value cannot
be prevented by law. 1t is beyond the
reach Of legislation. 1t is caused by the
changing demands for and the increas-
ing supply Of these metals from the
mines. Both are necessary as money
silver to supply the daily wants of life
and gold to measure the larger transac-
tons OF business, especially in eX-
changes with foreign nations. How TO
maintain the parity of the two metals
ut a fixed ratio has been. Is, and always
will be difficult problem, not only in
the United States, but in the civilized
world.-John Sherman, at Columbus.

I,rcs ys. Silver.

The mining of silver is not such an
important industry that it sflould be
entitled to discriminating Government
assistance, such as is involved In the
free coinage proposition. The value Of
the silver mined in this country in 1894
was only thirty-one million dollars, in
round numbers. The eggs which the
farmers of the United States picked
up around their barnyards and sent to
market during that year were worth
more In the markets than all the silver
mined in 1894. Why not ask for legis-
lation which will double the price OF
eggs in the interest of the farmers?
That would be just as reasonable as q
request for legislation doubling the
price of silver.-Cleveland Leader.
