Effect of Free Coinage.
(By Sidney Dell.)
The half billion of American (ilver
dollar are not standard, or value meas
uring money. They are mere tokens, or
decks, for our gald dollars in which
they'er redeeuiab'e at our custom house-,
lu payment of our public dues at 100
vents in gold, limiting them to less than
the "public dues," they are hereby
held np on the basis of value of the val
ue of the gold dollar, which is our
money standard or measure of value ot
our "dollar by tne -crime oi
Tbis means that these halt billion silver
dollars, while they are, nominally, a
limited tender for all aebt are not in
competition with our gold dollar for
that purpose; because the gjld dollar re
deems it and, therefore, really the mon
ey of flual payment, just like the case of
a check on the oank for gold on deposit.
This position need not be argued because
all gold itandard teacher admit it to be
true. It is a fact therefore, thai the
gold dollar i the only real money we
bave to pav our 19 billion dollars of
public and private debt.
Free coinage of silver dollar, with
tall legal tender power ot 16 to 1 would
of itself make all ot our present volume
of eilver dollar standard money in com
petition on their own basis of value,
with our gold dollar for paying all our
poblio and private . debt, becaare- the
unlimited free cotnase would render
ineffectual their redemption at a gold
do'iar'a valu?. It would instantly place
all our due on the basis of vain of tbe
silver dollar and practically change our
coinage ayetem from the gold money or
coinage ytein of 1873, without any
statute changing- back our coinage unit
of value to the, silver dollar. A law too,
simply changing onr unit of value, from
the gold doiur bark to tbe silver dollar.
like it was from 1792 to 1873, would have
ihe earn effVc. It would make all our
half billion silver dllar standard rapn
ev, on their own bam of value in com
Miitmn with sold a leaal tender. It
would redcc3 the demand for gold,
1 reform, to tha extent of over 19 hi!
lioa do! are ia legal tender.
The effect of tbis reduced demand for
gold as legal tender for debt in tbia
nation would be to cheapen gold mot
heavilv. It would be tbe vastest sadden
dereas of demand for gold ever known
in hiatorv. and. of coarse, on tbe law of
reduced demand gold must cheapen,
like wheat or ony other artie'e of lib man
nse. Bat gold bullion i tbe world'
standard, or measure, of property val-
dm. That istoaav. the srold price is

ty is low. When gold is low " propertv
is high. Free coinage of silver, then,
would suddenly raise the gold pi ice of
all onr property, "in mnscle and on
shelf most heavily. It wonld raise
them, by mathematical demonstration.
over one fourth. Bra intra, demon
t rat ion, it would doable lhoe gold
price, by cheapening gold ballion one
half.
A mathematical demonstration, in
economic sbieaee, is the ntil possible
feat of logic Bat such is th eas-a, upon
Conceded fact of history, a to tbe effect
of American free coinage in raising oar
mid oricce of labor nnd property "over
one fourth . Let nt see.
. In Jane 1S93, between the Bret and
26th, the law of Austria-Hungary and
East India demonetizing over a billion
dollars of standard silver m-n-y. went
into operation. The increased demand
thereby, for gold in (note two erop.rei
a legal tender, waa 33 i billion do'ilr,
aa ahown be recorded etatis'ie On Jane
26, 1893, silver bullion fell to 64 cents sn
ounce against 84 cent on Jane 1 and
for two year prior. Tbatia, gold rose
from 24 to 1 np to 32 to 1, and all prop-
arty fell snddenly 25 per cent over what
it bad been for two year prior to June
1, 1S93. It made tbe greatest crash ia
values ever known It bankrupted tbe
nation, including Harvey Scott and moat
of Portland' heavy property owner.
Of course reduced demand of 3J billion
dollar w.uld cheapen gold ?. Since
our redeced demand on free coinage
would exceed J billion, gold wonld
fall over a fourth. This is a matbemat
ical demonstration.
It U a moral demonstration that a re-!
dueed demand for gold of 19 billion dol
lars as legal tender would cheapen it one
half of coatee, gold could not cheapen be
low it normal, which ia the value it has

Tbe sadden fall in 18H3 did not hnrtthe
