says thing is worth a dollar he means
it will exchange for 25.S grains Of gold.
nine-tenths fine. In the early years of
this country's history both gold and
silver were coined free and silver was
recognized as well as gold as a stand
ard of value. For few years the
quantity Of silver (371A grains, with
44% grains of alloy added required to
make a dollar was worth less than the
quantity of gold in dollar and. there
fore, practically no gold was used and
silver was actually the standard. Later
and up to about 1870 silver was worth
relatively little more than gold. and
therefore practically no silver was
brought to the minis or used as stand
ard money.

Are steel ties used by American rail-
roads?
The use of steel railroad ties in
America is largely experimental and
limited to few of the larger roads.
Outside of first cost they are objected
to as being too rigid. which is hard on
the rolling stock, precisely as a dead"
track uses up horses legs. About 65
per cent of the federal railways Of
