Sentiment i'm Favor of Any Kind of
Why 1t Failed.

The practical failure of our blmetal-
lie commission to induce the leading
European nations to join in confer
ence to adopt an international ratio for
the coinage of gold and silver should
cause no surprise; neither should it be
the occasion Of regret. There Is much
less intelligent sentiment to-day In ia
voro of any kind of free coinage Of silver
than there was In 1892. Two causes
have conspired to produce this change
of sentiment.
The first of these causes is the knowl-
edge Of the fact that considering its
uses, the output of silver is practically
limitless. Science, experience and cap
ital have revolutionized the methods OF
silver mining. But for the inventive
mind of man the production Of silver
would be so limited that its old value
before the bonanza mines were opened
could have been maintained. Science,
experience and capital have made the
annual production of silver bullion so

great that ii cannot retain its former
value. No doubt, its value by interna-
tional coinage at the old value ratio OF
16to or 10 to would so stimulate the
silver-mining industry that from plenti-
fulness, compared with gold, 1t would,
In spite of ratio, be a deprecated and
fuctuating money. The advocates OF
free and unlimited coinage seem to ig-
more that natural result of the almost
unlimited production of silver bullion.
Silver, during the past decade, has
ceased to be precious metal.
The second cause Is the growing GER
tainty that there is sure to be enough
gold to make 1t ''the money basis Of the
world" in connection with the free use
of silver as q subsidiary coin. The
worlds annual output of gold has dou-
bled, and more than doubled, during
the past decade. The annual output Of
gold this year is Of greater value than
the output of both metals twenty five
years ago. At the same time, the facili-
ties of exchange have been so increased
as to economize the use of gold as
money. II the output of iron or any
other commodity were increasing as Is
the output Of gold at the present time
1t would become drug like silver bull
ion and fall to a nominal price.
Another cause of the failing interest
In what's commonly called bimetallism
Is the growing conviction that double
standard is impracticable. The history
Of coinage in our own country sustains
the theory of n single measure Of val
ues. When the output of silver was
small, compared with what 1t might be
to-day, the mercantile ratio of the two
metals changed from time to time, in
spite of coinage ratios. The intelligent
consideration Of the question in connec-
ton with the history Of coinage In this
and other countries has changed from
bimetallists to gold monometallists
thousands of men. They see that the
maintenance Of a coinage ratio fixed by
law at 16 to Is almost as impractica-
BILE as to establish an arbitrary price
for wheat and corn upon basis which
would make one bushel of wheat the
equivalent of two bushels of corn.-In-
