The Ratio Between Gold and Sill
ver~~Meaning of Free Coinage.
Mint Director Preston has made
the following simple and compre
hensive statement in regard to the
coinage ratio between gold and silN
yer in response to frequent inquire
les on that point;
All standard silver dollars coin~
ed by the minis of the United
States since the passage of the act
of January 18, 1887 have been
coined in the ratio of / to 15,9884,
generally called the ratio of l to
1915 1884 being very nearly Is,
Still to reach accurate results the
former and not the latter figure
must be used in calculation. The
ratiu is obtainable In this way;
The silver dollar contains 371.25
grains of pure silver aud the gold
dollar % ~ grains of pure gold.
If you divide 371.25 by 1928 you
will get the alto of weight between
the gold and silver dollar-that is
159884 1t is true that to be on a
par with gold silver would Cat our
ratio) be worth $1.2929- The rease
is this a cold dollar contains 1922
grains of pure gold, In an ounce
or 480 grains of gold there are as
many dollars as % % III contained
in 480 or one ounce. Ifyou divide
48O by 1892 you get 20,67 the
number OF dollars that can be coin
ed out OF an ounce of pure gold; in
other words the money equivalent
of one ounce OF pure gold; in other
words the money equivalent OF
one ounce Of gold or of 15.9884
ounces of silver at the ratio OF to
15,9884. Now if 1884 ounces oil
silver be worth $20.67, one ounce
will be worth 1929 as you can
prove by simple division. The
same result is obtainable by divid-
ing 480 grains of pure silver in d
standard silver dollar, at the ratio
Of to 15,9884 which gives 81 1929
Sixteen ounces of pure silver will
coin a little more than one ounce
OF pure gold; 15,9804 ounces OF
silver will coin exactly the same a.
mount of money as one ounce o
goId-that is S2067, You cal
prove this by dividing 1898
ounces by 371 25 grains. The op
Grafton is as follows: 15.9884 multi
pied by 480 divided by 37125 e
quals 2O.674
1t is not true that sixteen ounce
OF silver will coin only $3.50 a
the ratio of i to Is.
AS will be seen above, one ounc
of silver will coin 1929. Multi
plying $1.2929 by 16 gives $40 81
! You can make the same result il
another way: Is ounces troy, 0
1880 grains divided by 81 Is give
the number of silver dollars tina
can be coined out of Is ounces 0
silver; 1880, divided by 37125
equals 20.67,

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together and until the
last few years was supposed to be in

doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure by local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake

it affords Of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice Of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magni6-
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west Of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far.ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele
gance of its trains. Through Pull

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION,

At the regular meeting Of the Venezuelan
Commission last week, counsel for Venezuela
submitted to the Venezuelan Commission a
printed brief, presenting a bit of new and
apparently conclusive evidence in support OF
Nenezuela's claim. It refers to the map and
description of Guiana contained in a two-y0l-
ume folio geography prepared by Thos. Myers,
Professor in the Royal Military Academy OF
Woolwich. in 1922. The Essequibo is shown
as the dividing line between British and Span
ish Guiana. Numerous citations are set forth
in the brief to show that England at that time
recognized the limits now claimed by Yene-
zuela.
The Commission now has before it the British
case, as comprised in the Blue Book the Vene-
zuelan case in part. included in several pamph-
lets prepared by Mr.. Scruggs, the counsel for
the Venezuelan Government, and mass OF
matter collected directly by the Commission
through the State Department, the Library of
Congress, and several expert geographers who
have been engaged in that work. This matter
has been parceed out among the individual
members of the Commi ssiOn for study, and at
the session there was a comparison OF results
so far obtained. The Commission was in
formed by Secretary Olney that he was in re-
