' 1 want a dollar's worth of silver in a silver dollar, and then the more silver dollars we have the better. Gold is the money of the creditor ; the debtor wants silver, and I want both." But if the gold and silver dollars are of the same value why should gold be the money of the creditor and silver the money of the debtor?
