Since Mr. Brtan discovered the 11. tticieiicy as a cjinpaign lscieof' tiis paramount l-sue nfs-calcd im -llali-m he has baind voice 01 is more on ih' silver qui slum, and in Ins li lttrnf am puoce ho dt clared hiuiself an follows : The platform rciierates the demand for an American Quancial system inai'e by th Amricaii people lor themselves. The purpim of such a sys'em Is t rotore and maintain a bioii t illic level of prits-s, aud in order that there may taj no uui-er-tsiuty as to the iiiithial of rei-t iriug liiuieiallisiu the speciQc declaration In favor of free aud U'dinuted isiin age al the existing ratio of 16 to I, independent of the action id other na tions, is repeated. This be calls "I be gold aud silver coinage of the constitution." Of e lurse, every body familiar with the cuiislituliou knows that ueitber bi metallism nor any raliols mentioned in that Instrument. The sole men. tion of either gold or silver iu the constitulioii is in the clause forbid ding any stale to "make anything lint gold aud nil er coin a lender in payment of debts. To congress is rescrv d the siwer lo coin money and rigiilatelhe value thereof, and of foreign coin." These I wo phrases are all that make the "money of the c mi-ti tut ion." W here, then, does Mr. Bryan find his constitutional authority for bi metallism at the sacred ratio of 16 to I or any other ratio? Ceitainly not in the constitution i I self, and equally as certainly Uot lu Statute 1, the coinage act of April 2. 1792. That c lebrated ait, drafted by Alexander Hamilton, declared "that the pro portional value ol gold tosilver in all coins w hich shall by law le current as money wi'hin the United Slates shall Ik as 15 to 1." Thb was "the dollar of our daddies" a 13 lo 1 dol lar, not a 16 to I dollar. This law of 1792 was the tlrst law that the con gress of the Dulled Stales enacted on the money question, and it was no thing about 16 to I. How is it that the "fathera" miss, ed the magic ratio of 16 to 1 and lighted uNn 15 to 1? Thomas Jeffer son, the father of democracy, explain ed it in bis famous "Notes ou the Establishment of a Monetary Unit." He said : The proportion Is t ween the values of gold and silver is a mercantile pro blem altogether. . . . Just prin ci. It s will lead us to disregard legal proportions altogitherj lo inquire ii.to the market price ol gold iu the several countt ies with which we shall principally be connected in cr.inmerce and to take an average from them. ... It is not Impossible thai 15 to 1 u ay be found an eligible pro isirtion There was no sacred ratio in those days. The proportion was arrived at alter a careful etudy of the com mercial situation throughout the world by Jefferson, llauii t'U and Morris The two latter evidei t'y agreed with Jefferson that "rhaps we might with safety lean toward a propoition somewhat alaive par fur gold," for they found the commercial ratio to lie 14 t 1 and accepted his suggection of 15 lo 1. The reasons for this choice of ratio are found in Hamilton's report : Perhaps, if either were to Imj pre ferred, it ought to be gold. . . . As long as gold, either from its in trinsic superiority as a metal, from its gretit-r rarity or from the preu- dices of mankind, retains so consider. able a ure-eiuineuce in value over silver as it lias hitherto had a natural coiii-euticnce seems to l that its sit uai on will lie more stationary, ine revolutions, therefore, which may take i.lace iu the comparative value of irold and silver will be changes in the state or the latter, raiber man in t lint of the former. This ratio, then, the ratio of 15 to 1, was adopted after mature consi deration ami with a sincere effott to keen cuius minted from Isith gold and silver in concurnit emulation, w ith a slight preference f r g ! I as a circuiting medium, If ei.lier metal should show a lendeiicy to disaptwar in accordance with Gresham'i law.
