WHAT rMAKEs THE RArrog


 One of the stock assertions that the coinage ratio of gold and silver should be l6 to Is that the worlds produc- tion of those two metals is at about that ratio-sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold-an1 that conse- Quently that should be the legal and actual ratio that they should be coined Some writers sapiently assert that it is the worlds total stocks of gold and silver which bear this propor- .tiou while others assert it is the an nual production. From this premise they proceed to the deduction that l6 to is the natural and should, by right, be the legal ratio.
 The facts of the case are that neither the total stocks nor the annual production of the two metals bear any such proportion. Previous to 1870 the average annual production for per iod of twenty-four years was about thirteen ounces of silver Co one ounce of gold. Since 1870 the average has been steadily increasing, and last yea it was about thirty ounces of silver to one ounce of gold. If the annual pro- portlonate production governed, the proportion preceding 1870 should have been IS to instead of l6 to l, and surely, if that proportion should hold now the 10 to dollar is nothing but a fifty cent dollar, and can never be made anything else.
 With these facts in view the in- quiry with which this article is headed is very pertinent. When the ratio of l6 to was established that ratio was the proportionate value of the two metals in the bullion markets, and the value taken was an average of the transactions in the principal bullion markets of the world through long period.
 Records are kept of all transactions. and with application at the proper sources the entire record can be pro cured. That is what was done when the ratio of lG to was established.
 And if the annual production was B to previous to 1870, and the coin age was l6 to l, when the proportion ate production of silver began to in- crease after 1870, is it any wonder that all the great commercial nations hastened to drop silver coins from their systems, except to use them for token money3
