MAINTAINING PARITY.
Effect Of the Use of Two Metals In the
Currency Il to Steady the
Volume of Money.

The way the bimetallic principle
brings the money metals together and
maintains their parity with each other
can easily be understood. IT is made
plain by the following familiar illus
trafion of Jeyons: when two recep-
tacles for fluids are separated from
each other. the height 10 which the
fluid will rise in each depends upon the
quantity poured into it. But when
there is a connecting pipe between
them the fluid will rise TO the same
level in both, whichever receives the
supply And this exactly illustrates
the movement OF the metals in west
ern Europe, under the bimetallic law
Of Franco of 1908. which provided for
the unrestricted coinage of both met
ais. and gave 10 the coins struck from
each the Office of unlimited legal ten
der. The legal tender function. allow
inr the coins struck of from one of the
metals TO freely take the place Of the
coins struck from the other metal, for
monetary purposes. was the connecting
pipe. and as the fluid discharged from
the common outflow was single fluid.
though in the inflow tho color of one Of
them may have been white and that OF
the other yellow. so where the stand
ard is bimetallc money, and in its re-
lation to commodities as expressive OF
value as is single standard. though
il is called bimetallic or double stand
ard because the two metals are select
ed for fun monetary use. The effect
of the use of the two metals in the cur
rency is to steady the volume of money
and consequent price of commodities,
and prevent that great depression of
prices caused by shrinkage OF the
volume of primary money and credits
resting upon it, which inevitably takes
place when only one metal is used
