The question is ASKED what does 16 to l
mean? Why, it means that in coinage Is
ounces Of silver are equivalent to ! ounce
of gold The law under which our gold
and silver are coined was enacted in 1884,
and has been in force for IS years. Prior
to that the coinage laws of 1892 were in
force, making the equivalent in coins of 10
ounces of silver and one ounce of gold
The silver coin of the world outside of the
United States bears the ratio to gold coin
of 157 to l. The present administration is
coming at that ratio and all the silver
dollars in use are made at the ratio of is
to L. So all parties agree to the ratio or
the Republicans would have had it re
pealed, as they had both Houses and the
President. But for politics sake they use
the expression is to l to try and scare
some ignorant ones.
