CJ--l Ruby-crown- i ! ' the-majorit- , wn -- As the avowed purpose of this publication is to aid in the complete restoration of "bimetallism" in the United States, it is deemed proper that the precise nature of "bimetallism," or the "bimetallic system," should be clearly and accurately stated. In the present stage of the controversy In this country it seems to be in the highest degree essential that such an explanation should be made. A large majority of the opponents of free silver coinage themselves "bimetallists." proclaim .The idea of a person being opposed to the free coinage of. silver and at the same time being a "bimetallist," is absurd. There are certainly some who are sufficiently familiar with the science of money to know that they are giving themselves a false, designation; but the most of those who thus apply the term are no doubt innocently mistaken. There can be no true "bimetallism" with free coinage of one metal and a limited coinage of the other. The word "bimetallism" as used by, monetary writers means exactly the same as the "double standard." That is to say, it means a money standard consisting of two metals, used at a certain ratio to each other, both freely coined and each full legal tender after it is coined. m his testimony before tne xvui uommission or Englana, given ou t j ; ' j j- j Very Light Infantry (1 tiis O'ommnne, Ayesha, a wee bairn of some four contented themselves with knives and summers, who, when the Russians sticks formidable weapons enough in were pursuing Suleiman Pasha, after their way, since in some of their conthe fall of Plevna, through the Balk- flicts with each other these 'would-b- e ans, was found among the mixed re- soldiers were actually killed, and in mains of horses, bullocks, men, wom- many others seriously wounded. en and children, crouching by the I recall, too, another incident during side of her dying mother, by a this campaign which bore upon the officer named Savenka; same subject.

The enactment that the money so coined shall be legal tender to any amount of the option of the payer. Any limitation upon the coinage of either or upon its legal tender, destroys one of the fundamental principles upon which bimetallism rests. The other at once becomes the standard' while the one subjected to a restriction is dropped into a secondary or subordinate position. The theory of bimetallism is that the free coinage and full legal "tender of the two metals after they are coined will keep them at a substantial parity. If, for example, the value of one should rise a little, by reason of a stronger foreign demand, the home demand for that one would the immediately decrease and fall upon actother, and cheaper, metal, thus ing as a compensation. But, if one has free access to the mint and the other has not, then they meet upon unequal terms and this principle cannot act. The one which can be freely coined will always be in stronger demand than the other, and, consequently, of greater j s i. . :'- Tumi-Tum-Tum-Tur- , of the ex-gover- nor ; . "Tum-ti-Tum-Tu- .

The fall in silver and low freights have combined to enable of the staple exports of China to be laid down in Europe at about one-ha- lf the cost at which they could be sold twenty years ago." The above item gives peculiar emphasis to the one concerning the sale-oMexican silver bonds. For years past the bimetallists of Europe and America have contended that the rise in the value of gold was operating as-bounty upon exports from silver-usin- g countries. The facts here stated prove the correctness of that claim. Th manner in which It does so is so simple as to be seen at a glance when attention is directed to it. Briefly stated. It is this : Silver has maintained a practical stability of value ascojnparea witn commodities in general. For twenty years past,4 upon an average, an ounce of silver would buy A1 bushel pf wheat in India and lay if down In the English market. It will do the same now. Therefore the East: Indian can get no more silver for hi' wheat at) the present time than he could twenty "years ago. Nor does he lose anything by reason of that fact, for his ounce of silver in rupees is Just as much and just as good money in India as it ever was. W With the American, He can get however, j it is different. just as muGh1 for his wheat as the East Indian Can. and no more, r That is to say ho can get an ounce of silver,' or. its equivalent in' gold, for a bushel. But measured in American money, which is of the gold standard, that ounce of silver is only worth about one-ha- lf as much as it was in 1873. So. that while the East Indian is receiving the same price as formerly for his wheat, the American only gets about half as much as he used to. The very moment silver began to decline in the English market it acted as an inducement to the English exporter to buy wheat in some silver-usin- g country rather than the United States. He could first buy the silver at a profit, and then buy as much wheat with a given amount of silver as he ever could, This-iexactly what the English consul-gener- al means when he speaks of the low price of silver expanding the trade of China. The great staples of. the United States are and for years have been sold in the European market at silver prices and .in direct competition countries. Neverthewith silver-usin- g less the gold advocate continues to roll his eyes in horror at the thought of the United States getting upon the silver basis. With him the silver standard is good enough for everybody but the and the fortunate few money-lendwho have been benefited by the appreciation of gold. , ed .10 1 - j - Olive-back- Cheap Silver a Glorions Boon to Eng land.' .A recent press dispatch, from China tO' says:" The British consul-gener- ; I ' BENEFITS THE EAST. i 1. -- to 16 ounces of silver"; at the same time saying to the owners of silver bullion, "Bring that along and have it coined at the rate of 15 ounces to 1! ounce of gold, and when so coined they shall both be full legal tender everywhere in France," it ought to be plain that no man with a grain of business sense would take much less than the French mint rate.
