MXI LE TO 0E.
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.
It was an experiment I lie first law
