The etandard of value in lhiscountry is gold, that is, 25.8 grains of stanaard gold, exchanging in tiie market for 825 grains of standard silver, or for - the silver in two silver dollars. Now suppose that the standard ichangel so that 412.5 grai&s of standard silver shall be the standard of value. The prst thing that would be noticed would be tho failure of gold to be presented at the mint for coinage. No one would be willing to haye his gold coined into dollars, if the. gold to make a dollar would purchase silver enough to make two coined dollars. If a, pdund of gold would pui jhase thirty-two pounds of silver, no one would be willing to haic it coined on the basis of 10 pcunds of silver to one pound of gold. There- would be. no gold coin d, except for export. The next thing that would, be obseryed would. be the disappearance of gold from j" circulation. If the gold that is put 1 in a dollar should be suddenly made equal in value to the silver put into two silver dollars, all the gold coins would be hoarded or thrown into the melting pot, for conversion into bullion with which to purchase the cheaper silver. If a dealer had $5, O00 in gold, and they would pur chase $10,000 in silver, he would melt his $5,000 in gold, if it need be none, p-nd sell the bullion for $10, OD0 in silver., Inj that way gold would go out of circulation, as money to become a commodity, to be bought and sold iie other com modi ties. That is not all, after the. market at home had exhausted foreign markets would be visited, and gc Jd exchanged for ilveri Our "country would become the dumping ground for all the lsi$er in tjhe world, if we made the price, of sll- - rfver here higher than it, is, elsewhere, ".We have about $600,000,000 of gold In circulation tt wul require only - $300,000,000; of one half of it, to .. ; iPayte ye J& fa replace it iarff, if it were withdrawn from cir eolation, leaving a balance m the hands of the owners of gold of $360)0,9004 trUlr ich to purr chaiS anbther $f$0d$00 of silyer.

' JLet'a see. There are in , the world about 4,000,00000 silver dollar, worth two blUldi dollars in gold. Would our posing a lar, making the ratio 16 to lj have e, effect of adding $2,000,000000 to - the value principle explained above would not all the gold go ou t an 4eEJ5iftLCf art coodnoted OQ'n4iilierm1eit an4 uot oh ihe 'ttedijei MofKn t4; voied by fcohesi but misguided en. laiqn would e, it guent It tht work, whilst to repiaoq IV win silver cibUars dollar foi dollar at the rate of $50,000,000 per year, that being thecapacity of the miht,wou4 require twelve years To wilhdia the gold would mean & bbntractibn of the currency to the amount of $6Q0,Q00,00O. 5uch a contraction suddenly made, as it naturally would be, would .... produce the greatest scarcity of mpney ever felt by our people, and would sand prices ( far below the lowest point, they have eyer reached in this country. , It 1 would bankrupt evtry man who was iiuaeot, ana pas sacu a uuuipieie check to all improvements that even those who might hot be in debt would be heavily pressed." . We cannot shut our eyes to the teaching of history, and hope to es cape the penalties for the violation of an economic law. Under the erroneous idsa that money can be I made by law regardless of the de mands of trade and commerce, we may enact laws designed' to . compel the higher economic law to yield tp the fancies of men who may be im pelled by false notions in regard to what constitutes and makes money, but, if we do, we will pay a heay penalty for our folly. The sooner we recognize the ' fact that the economic law of trade' and commerce, so far a3 it relates to money, will not bend to unwise statutory law, the better it will be tor us. No power on earth can make men give a 100 cents for ;50 cents worth of any commodity, if they are unwiliing to give it.
