She ¡timrs-|irraid. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER. 16 18f6. W.C. BÏKP _ _ — — — Editor Inconsistency of Gold- Gugs. The strongest argument, seem ingly, brought forward in this cam paign by the republicans and gold standard democrats, is 50 the cent dollar. They aigue if we shouldby law adopt free coinage of silver, gold would immediately rush to the European countries, and we would have nothing but the poor depreciated silver dollar. Butthen they argue that |a bimetallic sys tem isbest with international agree inent, which, by the way, under no circumstances will we ever get. Now the inconsistency is, that sil ver is a bad thing for a few but a great thing for the many, 50 cents for the United States, but a dollar for the world. Do you see the point? Now it being an acknowl edged fact that free silver is the best for the world,fjwhy not the United States set the example by l»eing the initiative of this good thing for the world? Set the ex ample and the world will follow. Let the United States be the strong arm that is put forth to lift labor from Jthe slough of despondency and lifted to the standard of respect ability. Let history have it record ed that this great republic, the friend of mankind, was the first to solve the financial problem, and set to rest the vexed question. Be it known that most of our scholarly men, and just men. everywhere con demn the gold standard, and how is "it possible to crush this gold standard monopoly unless some powerful nation take the lead? And tn« world can never find a bet leader than this republic. age annual market ratio« ranged for almost the whole time in the neigh hood of 15j to 1, and never varied more than from 15.04 to 1 to 16 25 to 1. It would also have shown that while the production from 1870 to 1895 approached more near ly to the mint proportions than ever before in the centurv.the value of silver fluctuated between 15.57 and 32.56 to 1. ‘'Concurrent circulation” is not the test of a successful monetary policy, although there was never a in times of speeie payments between 1803 and 1874 when silver five franc pieces and gold twenty franc pieces did not circulate together in France, and when both gold and silver wer-1 not coined at the French mintR. The real test is stability of value. It makes little difference whether one metal or the orlher or both be in circulation if the fluctu ations in value can be kept within narrow limits. Between 1837 and 1873 th-1 gold value of 371j grains of pure silver never averaged more than $1.052 or less than $1003. The range of fluctuation was less than five cents on the dollar in thirtv-six years. Between 1873 and 1895 the jiold value of the same amount of silver varied between 49.1 cents and $1.004. There was a greater fluctuation in a week than the e had been with open mints in seventy years. That ought to ans wer the question whether the policy of open mints proved a success or not. as compared with the one that I has followed it.—Journal. THE 0. C.
