FREE COINAGE.
A Brief Definition Of the Present
Political Issue.
From the You,h's Conpanion.

In response to a" inquiry the direc-
tor Of the mint has given ia few
words, certain facts relative to the
value of the gold coius of the United
States.
Aoy gold cc;a :hat has lost none OF
It's weight by abrasion or otherwise is
worth iss former face value when
melted into lump The Government
makes ne charge for coming gold ~heE
the bullion is of standard duepess-
Diae parts gold and ooe part copper
Wheo the bullion requires refining the
Government makes charge equal to
the cost of that process. and makes ao
additional charge Of Two ceuts an ounce
for the copper used as alloy The in-
,rinsic value Of every perfect gold coin
is precisely the same as that indicated
BY the Government stamp which it
bears.
Free coinage of silver would intro
duce precisely the same se, of facts re-
garding eilver dollars. A full-weighted
silver dollar would be worth a dollar
when melted into bullion. A worn
dollar would be worth only SO, much ss
the proportion which iss weight might
bear to the original weight Of 412 IL
grairs.
The difference beswwen those who
favor and those who oppose free coin
age is this: The e.sitver men" main
tain that if both gold and silver were
20 be admitted to the mint on equal
terms, both kinds of dollars would still
be of equal value. The gold standard"
party holds that when a gold dollar
would buy silver enough to make dollar
and half or more. silver alone would be
coined, and all who bad gold would
demand premium for it.
The silver men believe that treating
the two metals alike would make their
values not merely when coined, but in
form of bull ou-shat which is fixed by
toe coinage law. The gold standard
party does not believe that this would
be the effect.
