PRINCIPLE AND PARITY,

In the act OF 1890. providing for an
increase in the purchase Of 81 Ger bull
lion by the government. it was declared
to be "the established policy OF tbs
United States to maintain the tive
metals, gold and silver, on a parity With
o .oh olher upon the present legal n.
ito, or socb ratio IS may be provided by
law The fact that the meth d Top
ted by the act to maintain t ptrlty
OF these metals with each other VAS not
successful does not render this dselars
ton nugatory. or in the slightest de-
gree weaken ih force. II is still the
established policy Of the On ted States
to maintain their partly with each
other upon legal ratio. The value OF
gold and silver is dependent upon, ana
is governed by, their use for monetary
purposes, and to maintain their parity,
equality Of their value, upon a legal
ratio, the law must provide for their
equal use as money upon that rate
without discriminating against either
metal. In other words. the law must
place both metals upon the same plane
as money metals. and provide for their
unrestricted coinage upon the ratio 1t
prescribes, and equally endew the coins
struck from them with the money tuno
tion. We have leaned from expert
ence that ttsir parity cannot be main.
tained by purchasing spsrtion OF enc
Of them as merchandise for monetary
use, and continuing the other in the
condition Of money metal. While
the coins struck from the metal 20
purchased will be on parity with the
coins struck from the other metal, fol
the reason that they are equally en-.
dowed with the money function, there
will bsa growing disparity between
the coin and bullion value Of the metal
80 treated.

These are some of the substantial gains
OF the territory, but there are many more
that could be mentioned. It is a good
thing for the territory that the era Of
prosperity is abroad in the land. it makes
money easier, prices of proructs of the
soil better and greater activity in ali lines
OF commerce. Those seeking for new
fields are coming to Oklahoma for profit
and accelerating it's growth so that more
is now accomplished in one year than has
heretofore been accomplished in five.
These things pom which 1 have so hasti-
~ touched, and many others, all blend
together TO make Oklahoma a field par
excellence for conservative banking bust
ness. This meeting has taken up and
discussed many subjects connected with
the business, which tend to inspire con-
fdence and bring the banker and his Gus
toners closer together. to the mutual pro-
ft1t and benefit of each.
