The gold dollar as fixed by law
weighs rs AS troy grains. 1t is com
posed of nine parts pure gold and OH,
alloy. The standard silver dollal
weighs Az ~ grains, nine parts O
pure and one alloy. The pure silver
in a silver dollar weighs almost exactl,
sixteen times as much as the pure gold
in a gold dollar. This is what is meant
by the ratio of l6 to H. This ratio
has varied somewhat since the govern

cording to the relative market value OF
them, being Is to |, Is ~ to and l6

previous to 1878. no silver dollars had
been coined and most of those already
coined had gone out of circulation rs
silver was slightly more valuable than
the ratio dccreed- Up to 1873 only
S,0Oo,0 600 silver dollars had been coined
since the foundation OF the govern
ment, though nearly billion gold dol
lars had passed though the mint. Up
g 1873, too. there was free coinage OF
both gold and silver. BY this is meant
thatany person who took to a govern
mcnt mint % is grains of gold or
ll2 ~ grains of silver Of standard
tinencss could have the same coined
into one dollar free of expense. In
1913 this double standard was aban-
doned. Silver was denied free coin
ace and only gold coined as before.
What the free silver men are contend
inc for Is to have silver restored to
free coinage at the ratio of l6 to /.
Why the act of 1873 was passed is u
bone OF contention. The silvcrites
claim that il was part Of a deep plot 10
destroy silver and exalt gold The
gold men deny this and say that little
attention was paid to the demonetiza-
ton Of silver as its free coinage had
been always failure, as the small
amount turned out by the minis
showed. Silver had only been valua-
BILE as fractional currency, of which
over $15o,o0o,ooo had been coined.
When the act Of 1873 was passed, si,-
yer was at a premium compared with
gold, that is, little less than 16 to /.
1t gradually declined, however, until
1890 when it stood 20 to 1. Since then
it has fallen rapidly until now the mar
kct value Of silver is to that Of cold as
81 to /, ounce for ounce. The action
of our government was followed by
various European nations until now
all Europe is on the single gold stand

There are some men who assert that

company and its employees. Nothing is
more false. The business of the company
on its lines in New Jersey in July fell
$50, 600 short of the corresponding month
last year. With such big falling off, re-
trenchment in expenses was a necessity.
AS is usual, the working people bear the
brunt.

Says Mr. Bryan "Whether the tariff
on wool has raised the price OF wool to
the sheep grower above the price II
would have reached without tariff, is
a question which has been discussed
rather than settled.
Mr. Bryan has, evidently, not looked
around him very sharply. Nearly 2,0O0,-
900 sheep were owned in North Dakota
when Mr. Cleveland was inangurated
President Six month"; ago there were
not a quarter of million left In the
State.
The average price of American wool in
1891, under protection, was seventeen
cents per pound. In 1890, under free
trade, it was only nine cents, loss OF
eight cents on every pound OF American
wool clipped by an American farmer
from an American sheep.
These facts are hard things to kick
over and they are argue very strongly for
the prnteclion Of the American producer
and wool grower.
