ciated 146 per cent it carried silver up
with it, In 1864 in the United States
there was time when gold was at a
premium of 1855 per cent and silver COM
manded the same premium, although
there was no special demand for silver.
John Stuart Mill says that over long
periods Of time gold is not as staple IN
value as corn.
Question-Why do silver dollars now
in circulation, which contain only SO
cents, worth of silver bullion pass on a
parity with gold?
Answer-Because they are lawful
money and full legal tender.
Question-Is there not law in the
United States requiring the government
to redeem them in gold?
Answer-There is not There never
was sub law.
Question-Under free coinage would
not the value or purchasing power of
the silver dollar decline?
, AnSWer-The value or purchasing
power of money is regulated by the
number of units available for use. AS
the volume of money is expanded its
purchasing power is diminished, and as
the volume of money is contracted its
purchasing power is increased. All po-
litical economists admit this PROPOSE
ton to be true; it therefore necessarily
, follows that if the free coinage of silver
should add to the volume of money
available for use the purchasing power
of money would correspondingly de-
cline; in other words, the price of COM
modities would rise. We would get more
money for our wheat, pork and cotton,
for our fruit, land and cattle, for any
thing we had to sell, than we now re-
ceive; but if both metals had free and
unlimited coinage they would not part
company.
Question-If it be true that the pur-
chasing power of money is determined
by the number of unitJ available for use.
how do you account for the fact that
prices are much lower now, with $23.7 "
per capita circulation, than they were
in 1873, when we had but $1S04 per cap
tia circulation?
Answer-It is not true that we have
$23.72 per capita circulation at the pres
ent time. The actual amount available
for us in the United States today is less
than one-third Of that sum.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-08-02

Answer-Value depends upon the law
of supply and demand. Value is a rel
ative term, and of course can not be
legislated into thing nor out of a thing,
but legislation can create a demand for
a thing, and that demand will enhance
its value and if the legislative demand
is for the total available supply, and the
legislative demand fixes price at which
the total available supply will be receiv-
ed it would be impossible for the value
of the thing to fall below thelegislative
limit. 1t might rise above the legislative
limit. but it could not by any possibility,
fall below it. More than fifty years ago
the British parliament fixed the value
of gold at $2067 per ounce, the price to
be paid in gold coin. 1t also fixed the
coinage value of an ounce of gold at
$20.67, and created an unlimited demand
for gold bullion consequently the value
of gold bullion cannot fall below the
price fixed. The same legislative pow
err that can fix and maintain the price
of gold bullion can fix and maintain the
price of silver bullion.
Question-Is it true that the relative
value of gold and silver bullion is pri-
marily determined by the relative pro-
duction of the two metals?
Answer-It is not true. The relative
value of the two metals has always been
controlled by legislation. The three
great changes in the ratio of the metals

the metal of which there was, at the
time the change was made, the great
est production. When the gold produc-
ton was largely in excess of that of sill
Yer then the relative value of gold was
increased, and when the production of
silver was greater than gold, then the
relative value of silver was increased.
(See Encyclopedia Britannica, vol xxi,
p. 73.)
Question-What ratios have existed
from time to time between gold and sill
YER?
Answer-At the time silver was the
most valuable OF the two metals. The
commercial ratio for the past 5000 years
mas ranged from 1 to / to about 81 to 1.

A Review Of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser's Circular, as Repubilshed by the Los
ata


A Review Of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser's Circular, as Repubilsfed by the Los
Angeles Times.
In an interview with Mr.. Utley in ref
erence to the above named circular the
following questions were asked and an
swerS returned:
Question-Have you read the circular
reproduced by the Los Angeles Times
from the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser?
Answer-Yes.
QUESTIONABLE the answers to the
questions propounded in said circular
true?
Answer-No. There is much more Of
error than of truth in them.
Question-What is meant by 16 to l :?
-AnSWer-lt means the amount of pure
silver contained in silver dollar shall
be sixteen times as great as the amount
of pure gold contained in gold dollar.
QEeStion-Are sixteen ounces of sill
yer worth as much as one ounce of gold
AnsWer-The present commodity val
ue of sixteen ounces of silver bullion is
only about one-ha1f as much as the
present commodity value of one ounce
OF gold bullion but sixteen ounces Of
silver money, in the United States, is
today worth precisely as much as one
ounce of gold money. In Europe it is
worth 60 cents more than one ounce
of gold money, in Asia it is worth 81 20
more than one ounce of gold money
Question-Why this variation in
value?
Ans Wer-Because in the United States
the coinage ratio is 16 to 1, and at tina.
ratio an ounce of silver will coin 81 .29
In Europe the coinage ratio is 15h to /,
and AT that ratio an ounce of silver will
coin $133. In Asia the coinage ratio is
- 10 l. aud al that ratio an ounce of bull
lion will coin $1.37, and in all of these
countries silver money is a legal tender
in the payment of debt at the face value
of the coin.
Question-Can congress alter the rel
alive value by legislative fiat?
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-08-02

coinage was coined at as low ratio as
IA to l. When silver bullion was offered
for sale, Asia could bid $1.37 per ounce,
that being the coinage ratio, and Europe
could even overbid Asia or cents per
ounce for as much as she required for
subsidiary coinage. When the Asiatic
demand was satisfied, Europe could bid
$1.33 for what she wanted, as her ratio,
15@ to l, would coin out 81. 33 per ounce.
When the European demand was sat
isfied, the United States and Mexico
would take what was left at $1.29 and
$126, that being the ratio in the United
States and Mexico. The range in the lie
gal ratio was two and a half sixteenths,
or Is cents per ounce, while the actual
fiuctuation never exceeded II cents per
ounce, and did not reach the extreme linn
it of II cents but once in 200 years. (See
report of director of mint, 1S94)
Question-What is an honest dollar?
Answer-One that does not fluctuate in
value. One that will buy as much COM
modify at one time as at another.
Question-Is there any difference in
the purchasing power Of gold dollar
and a silver dollar?
Answer-No. One will buy as much
commodity or pay as much debt as the
other.
Question-Is not gold comparatively
Interchangeable in value?
AHSWer-NO. HTOI. JeVOnS, a leading
English political economist, in his work
entitled Money and Mechanism of Elk
change, page 1926, proves that from 1898
to 1909 gold fell in value, as measured
by commodities 46 per cent, and that
from 1909 to 1S49 it appreciated in value
146 per cent.
Question-If there was an apprecia-
ton of 146 per cent in gold in forty years,
why was it that at no time there was no
more than II per cent variation between
the commercial value of gold and silver
bullion?
Answer-Because the ratio between
the metals is controlled by law and
cannot separate beyond the legal limit
where both have unlimited coinage. If
there is legal ratio fixed between the
metals and both have unlimited coin
age it is impossible for them to part
company. The metals may change in
value as measured by commodities, but
they cannot change in value as meas
ured by each other. When gold appre-
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-08-02

Question-Is it not true that the report
of the secretary of the treasury for 1894
shows that there was in 1894 $23.72 per
capita in circulation in the United
States?
Answer-The report of the secretary
of the treasury for 1894, page 1873, claims
that the per capita circulation for 1894
was $24.30.
Question-Is not that report true?
Answer-It is not true. 1t was known
to be untrue and misleading when it was
published. And the men who are now
repeating the statements contained in
it know they are not true, and they are
seeking to deceive and mislead the peo-
pie. This report over-estimates the
amount of money in the country more
than $S00,000,000, and it over-estimates
the amount of money in circulation
nearly 5000, 100000. The actual per cap
tia circulation in the United States at
the date of that report did not exceed
$40
Question-Have wages deprecated in
the United States since 1873?
Answer-Yes. There has been gen.
eral reduction in wages except where
they were maintained or held up by
labor unions. The great mass of labor
ers are not members of labor unions.
Farm laborers who outnumber all other
laborers in the United States, are not
receiving one-half as much for their Ia
Dor as they did in 1878. And more than
100000 laborers now have no employ
ment at any wages; and large num-
Der of those employed are working half
time only, which practically amounts to
working for half wages.
Question-What has cheapened the
price of products?
Answer-A contraction of the vol
ume of money available for use. A gen
eral rise or fall in the price of commodi-
ties can only be brought about by an ex-
pansion or contraction in the volume of
money. The price of q certain commodi-
ty may be affected by an abundant or
scarce crop, or by production or
under consumption, but a general rise
or tallin price can only be brought about
by expanding or contracting the vol
ume of money available for use. This
is an economic fact, as absolutely I'M
changeable as the law of gravitation. !.

Answer-The market price of gold and
silver bullion as compared with each
other.
Question-Why has the price of sill
yer bullion fallen since 1873?
AnSwer-BecauSe the demand for sill
yer bullion has been largely reduced by
adverse silver legislation. The demon
citation of silver in the United States,
in the Latin union and elsewhere has re-
duced the demand for silver and con-
sequently silver has fallen in value.
QuestiOn-HaS not the overproduction
of silver caused it to fall in value?
Answer-There has been no overpro-
duction of silver. The value of the
worlds production of gold since 1878 has
been greater than the value of the
worlds production Of silver during the
same period. The report of the director
of the mint for 1894 shows that the
worlds production of gold since 1893 IS
", 543, 900. and the value of the
worlds production of silver for the same
time was $2,031, 100000, the gold produce
ton being more than 100000, 900 greater
than the silver production. So you see
it could not have been the over produce
ton OF silver that caused it to fall in
value. l have already stated that if the
demand is for the total available supply,
at fixed value it is impossible for
the value to fall below the price fixed.
Prior to 1873 there was demand for the
total available supply of silver bullion
at ratios ranging from IA to to 161s to
|, and it was impossible for silver to
fluctuate in value beyond the legal ra-
tics. In 1873, however, the demand for
the total supply was stricken down by
legislation and that was the cause, and
the only cause, of the decline in the price
of silver bullion.
Questionable not silver bullion fuc-
tuate considerably in value prior to
1873?
Answer-There was some fiuctuation
but the value never passed the legislative
limit. From 1887 to 1873, period of near
ly 200 years, the extreme variation in the
commercial value of silver bullion was
from ratio of 1925 to to 626 to /, Or
exactly two siXteenths, which, expressed
in money, would be IL cents on the ounce.
During the same time, or at least during
portion of that time, the legal ratio in
Mexico was 1871 to 1; in the United States
is to l; in Europe 151s to / in Asia Is to
/. and in several countries subsidiary
