not be kept lu use an nmui y ut the aann timu.
and consequently, as 1 have uin ,! auid, Un y
determined to uncertain tli cominerci.il ratio

tbe difference between tha value of a silver

about one cent and one i-iKhih of a cent, silver
drove gold out of ue anil out of tbe couuti v.
and from that time we bad silver inonometal

1BU4, during tbe alministratioii of Andrew
Jackson, determined to nmtore it to tho ci re
lation and. In order to accomplish that result.
tha legal ratio waa changel from Jo to 1 to
about lo to 1 that is, the law so amended as
to provide that the gold eefrb-. or f 10 pn -,
should contain 'Get grains of pure gold, w hi. h
made the dtdlar consist of i 1 i grains, but I y
tha act of 1"J7 it was changed to Z. li kfrain-a,
which now constitutes the dol.ar and unit of
value. This wss a slight overvaluation of g il l
la tba oulnage, because & ti grains of line g ld
were not In fact worth as much In tho mar
bet aa tV714 grams of fine silver. Although the
dlffervaoa In value was very small, it proved
sufficient to change the whole chareeU-r of our
metalilo currency, and under this ratio gold
aad silver exchanged pi a. -. hilver went out
of tb country and gold came in, and from i
that time until after the paaaaagst of the a-t of j
