There is nothing in the science
of coinage that justifies the propo-
sifion that the present commercial
value of silver should fix its coin
age ratio, says the Kansas City
Times. Metals are coined and de-
clared money by commerce in trade
interchange. and metals are selected
as possess the inherent qualities
for such use Gold nor silver has
any inherent value. In bullion
form both acquire nearly q fixed
commercial value based upon their
coinage value, when selected for
coinage purpose.
And again. the difference IN the
output Of the two metals IS never
taken as an infallable basis of the
coinage ratio The fact is well es-
tablished by the history Of the
coinage of the two metals. Dur
ing the last years Of 400 and the
FIRST year Of 1900 the ratio of pro
duction was about 8 to /, and the
coinage ratio in England was a
fraction over II to Between
1916 and I549 the coinage ratio was
reduced to 5to while the pro-
dnction ratio increased to nearly
81 to /. In the first years of 1900.
the production ratio was close onto
so to 1, and the coinage ratio rang
ed between fraction less than 10
to j and little over ID to I In
1856 the production ratio was
something over to1, and the
coinage ratio was l6 to l. In 1873
when silver was ,demonetized by
the United States, the production
ratio was 13 SO to and the coinage
ratio was 16 to 1.
There is no foundation, there
fore, for the assertion of the gold
standard advocates that the remon-
citation of silver would SO largely
increase the production of the
white metal above the ratio of is
to 1 that we would Immediately
have debased metallic currency.
In all ages of the civilized nations,
governments have fixed the ratios
upon the difference in the volume.
of production of The two metals.
The nations have always enforced
their right to say what quantity
and quality of gold and silver
should be coined into a given disc
as the legal measure cf value.
The essinterests of the peo-
pie of the United States require a
very much larger volume of metal
lie redemption money. but if it is
given to them it would be too large
for the manipulators of the money
market to control, and that is the
head and front of the conspiracy
which caused silver to be demone-
tized in 1873, and which is still the
basis of the opposition to putting
silver on a parity with gold in our
monetary system.
The proposition to change the
existing ratio is Wall street
scheme to breed dissention in the
ranks of the friends of bimetallism;
but it is sincerely to be hoped that
they will continue to stand should
er to shoulder for the present legal
ratio of Is to 1.
