Thr Cannot Sac the Problem That
Way.
Prior to 1844 the price of gold bullion
In London averaged 3 17s. 6d. an
ounce, while the mint rate was 3 17s.
10d. In other words, an ounce of
gold in the form of coin was worth 4Va
pence more than the same gold was be
fore it was coined. Why: The gold
ite persistently claims that the value of
gold is altogether independent of coin
age. Then what reason was there for
English coin being worth is pence an
ounce more than plain gold bullion?
There could be but one reason. The
coin was more desirable than the bul
lion. But why more desirable? There
was just one thing that could be done
with coin that could not be done with
uncoined bullion. People could pay
their debts with it. The coin was "le
gal tender." The man who owed an
other a pound sterling could tender a
gold sovereign in full payment and the
creditor was legally bound to take it.
But ten tons of gold bullion at the mar
ket price, of which we hear so much,
would not be a eood "tender" for the
smallest debt. Therefore a man who
had gold bullion would sell it to some
broker for less than its coinage rate in
order to get money, because with money
he could pay his debt or procure any-,
thing else that hp needed.
But it may be asxed. How was it
that the bullion was worth less than
the coin when coinage was free? For
the simple reason that there was a de
lay in executing the coinage. When a
man deposited gold at the mint, on an
average he had to wait about sixty
days for returns. Rather than do this
he took the bullion to some broker and
suffered a loss of 40 pence on each
ounce in order to at once get the coin.
But in 1S44 the English Parliament
passed a law compelling the Bank of
England to receive all gold bullion of
sufficient fineness and pay for it at the
rate of 3 17s. 9d. an ounce, the bank
being allowed a margin of l1 pence
per ounce on the mint rate of 3 17s.
lOVd. From that day to this there has
never been an ounce of gold bought or
sold in the London market for le.-s than
the price set upon it by the law.
Here in America, if the depositor of
gold had to wait for his money, the
bullion would be worth less than the
coin, and the difference would be in
proportion to the length of the wait.
If instead of waiting sixty days, as
formerly in England, the depositor had
to wait five years to get his coin, it is
scarcely necessary to say that the dif
ference would be very great. If the
bullion could not be coined at all the
difference would be still greater. But
there is no delay and no charge for
coinage. As soon as the value of a
deposit is ascertained the depositor re
ceives a draft for the amount, and the
transaction is closed so far as he is
concerned. The coinage is ..hen execut
ed according to the capacity or conveni
ence of the mint.
Of course the closing of the Ameri
can mint to gold would not destroy it
coinage value elsewhere. The mints of
other countries remaining open it would
be coined in those countries at the rates
prescribed by law. For example, it
would still be coined in England at 3
17s. lOAd. an ounce, because the law
provides that any person depositing
gold at the royal mint may have it
coined into money at that rate.
If every other country in the world
should prohibit the coinage or use of
gold as money it would still be coined
at 3 17s. lOd. in England under the
existing law. Its nominal or "money"
value would be the same. But its value
in exchange would be less. It would
not buy so much. If a man could not
use gold as money anywhere except in
England he would be very silly to give
as many bushels of wheat or pounds of
cotton for an ounce of gold as he will
give now when it can be coined and
used in many countries.
So we see tnat tne expressions that
a "gold dollar is always worth a dol
lar," or "100 cents," and that "gold
bullion is just as good as gold coin"
do not touch the essence of the money
question at all. Gold bullion is as , Senator Allison's "bimetallism," the

That's All the National HiuietAlliHt (ares
to Know AIout Men muiI Things.
Some of our contemporaries seem to
be laboring under a misapprehension
with reference to the position of this
paper and a word of explanation may
not be ill-timed.
The National Bimctallist has noth
ing but kind words and kind feelings
for all who are laboring for the remon
eilzation of silver.
It is endeavoring to educate the peo
ple to the very best of its ability, and, j
what is more, it is not seeking to make
any money out of it. j
If it can do some good, and just pay j
expenses, the ambition of the manage
ment will be more than satisfied.
We also desire to say once more and
in the clearest possible way that the !
National Bimetallist does not repre- j
sent the "Patriots of America" or any
other sr-crot political organization
whatever. Its work is being dono !
openly, honestly and in the great fo
rum of the American people.
Referring to a suggestion lately made
that the National Bimetallist strikes
Democratic gold bugs only, we desire
to say that we really did not know
that Mr. Sherman wa., or ever had
been, a Democrat. Our recollection is
that we have struck him a few blows
and one page of each issue of this pa
per regularly links the names of Sher
man and Carlisle.
An attack upon Sherman Is in effect
an attack upon every other Republican
who agrees with his views.
We very freely admit, though, that
our heaviest blows have been aimed a:
Cleveland and his Democratic cuck
oos. That, however, is merely becatise
the Cleveland administration is now
in control of our finances and is the
great power that Immediately confronts
us.
Our strictures upon Cleveland. Car
lisle. Herbert, Morton. Eckles and
Preston have been called out by their
recent utterances and relate to cur- .
t
rent events. j
If they were in private life we should
have paid no attention to them except,
perhaps, as their utterances might have j
furnished texts upon which we could
have advantageously laid the true doc- j
trine of bimetallism before our read-
ers.
The silver question cannot be settled
by wildly kicking at nothing and wast- ;
ing whole magazines of ammunition on
the manner in which silver was demon- j
etized twenty-two years ago. What we
want chiefly is to show that it is for the j
best interests of the people that it
j should be restored, whatever may have j
been tne meinou oi :is uemonetizaiiou.
In conclusion, and for all, we desire
to say that the National Bimetallist !
stands upon absolutely impartial ;
ground. It will attack a Republican j
just as readily and as strongly as it will j
a Democrat. But the prominent Re- '
publican anti-silver men have been "ly
ing low" of late. When they emerge
from cover our guns will be trained j
upon them, and if they don't get hurt ;
it will be because the National Bimet- !
allist is not able to bring the necessary j
force to bear. j
This journal makes the cause of hi- j
metallism paramount to every other j
question and will strike with all its
power any man or any party that is
opposed to the complete restoration of
silver. But it does not intend to waste
its shct upon those who are in hiding,
whether they be Republicans or Dem
ocrats. National Bimetallist.
If tou are standing in the rear of a
field 'battery of six guns, which is be
ing rapidly worked, you must shout
into vour comrade's ear to make him
hear you. The din is that of fifty
empty wagons being driven over a
cobble-stone pavement. Your nerves
are on edge and you ' involuntarily
clap your hands over your ears to get
an instant's respite. But it is no com
parison to the position of the men
Iving on the side-hill below the guns.
They are only 100 feet below the
pieces, and each and every man not
only feels the full force of the con
cussion as communicated to the earth
from the "kick" of the gun, but the
report itself seems to strike the spijial
column and travel up to the back of
the bead. Then, too, there is the fear
of shells exploding prematurely, or of
grape and canister "dribbling" to
cause wounds or death, and it is a
positive relief to see a column of the
enemy break cover for a charge. The
roar of the guns does not linger for
hours after, as is the case with mor
tars and siege guns, but you find your
nerves on edge and your temper spoil
ed for a day or two. The men who
lay in lines with a battery firing over
them probably endured more mental
suffering than the enemy at whom the
guns vere pointed.
With the big guns the case is dif
ferent. The tiring is terribly trying
for the first few minutes, but this
feeling gradually gives way to one of
awe and sublimity. There is some
thing so terrific and appalling you
feel yourself so atoniless in compari
sonthat you would speak in whis
pers if the roar should suddenly cease.
You are an onlooker; if assisting to
work a gun physical activity would
take away from the mental strain.
When Admiral Porter got his twenty
mortar boats, each armed with an
eight and one-half ton mortar and a
thirty-two pound rifle cannon, at work
against the forts below New Orleans,
and the big guns in both forts had
opened in reply, there was something
akin to the sound of heaven and earth
coming together. The mortar shells
weighed over L"00 pounds apiece, and
the rush of them through the air made
one's hair feel as if it crawled. The
venomous hiss of a big skyrocket was
magnilied thousands of times, to be
followed by a crash which seemed to
split the sky open into cracks and
crevices.
When the firing had continued until
all reports had been merged into one
steady roar there was little short of
an earthquake on land and sea for ten
miles around. The earth shook as if
a great steam hammer was pounding
it a few yards away. If standing near
a tree one could feel the roots letting
go of the soil with a sound like bugs
crawling over dry leaves. On the wa
ter irreat mud spots rose up here and
there to show where the earth forty
feet below had been disturbed. In the
Mississippi river itself huge catfish

j A correspondent writing a personal
I letter, seems to be inclined to criticise
what we said in our last issue about
good as gold coin ior the simple reason
that the law makes it so that is, by
operation of law gold bullion is in
stantly convertible into coin, and with
out expense.
But if there were a charge for coin
ing, as above stated, a delay in getting
returns, the bullion would not be
worth as much as coin.
We also see that the 'money value"'
of gold is entirely a matter of law, be
cause money itself is a matter of law.
When we say that an ounce of pure
gold is worth $20.67 we simply mean
that an ounce of the metal will cut and
stamp into that amount of money. But
if there were no law on the subject
gold would have no coinage value at
all, because it could not be coined. Its
writer taking the position that an in
ternational bimetallist, Is no bimetallist
at all.
We did not intend to intimate that
Senator Allison's bimetallism is of a
satisfactory kind, for it is not. Bimetal
lism which is based upon an impossiole
condition, will never result in anything
substantial. Such bimetallists have,
though, a certain value in the discus
sion, because when a man declares that
he is in favor of restoring silver by in
ternational agreement, it is a surrender
of the entire gold side of the issue,
so far as principle is concerned.
It is an admission tnat silver was
wrongfully demonetized and that it
ought to be restored. This is the es
sence of the question. Mr. Allison was
value, then, would be just what it . mentioned in an article on "Kings and
KJ KJ J J
would exchange for in wheat, or cot
ton, or corn, or whatever might be
wanted. And this is the fact now. The
real value of anything is what it will
exchange foy in other things, because
"value" is purely a term of exchange.
If people will bestow a little thought
upon the subject they will easily per
ceive that the declaration of a gold dol
lar always being worth 100 cents, which
is put forth by the gold standard peo
ple as a "clincher," does not in the re
motest degree touch the main question.
It takes just as many grains of gold
to make a "dollar" as the law says
shall be put into a dollar. At one time
it took 27 grains of gold to make a
make a dollar. Now it only takes
25 8-10. Why? Simply because the
law has been cnanged.
But to-day the gold dollar of 25 8-10
Patriots," merely for the purpose of
showing the strength of the silver
men's position, and that upon principle
even a prominent candidate for presi
dential nomination on the republican
ticket was compelled to admit that
the3' are right.
No reader of this paper need have
any fear of the National Bimetallist
being satisfied with "international bi
metallism" as it is preached in the
United States. We have no use for any
man, who, while admitting that silver
ought to be remonetized, will not vote
for it until England says the word.

pain, or floated on their backs and
were carried along with the current,
gasping for breath. Out on the blue
water air bubbles as large as dinner
plates floated to the surface and
burst ed with a snap ,and fish of all
kinds exhibited the greatest confu
sion and alarm.
Thirty miles away the roar was like
that of a gale sweeping over, a pine
forest. Horses and cattle sought to
hide awayj birds flew about uttering
iie-? of distress, and dogs pointed
their noses toward the sky and howled
dismally. Birds and fowls felt the air
and earth-waves long before human
beings did, and their actions were so
queer as to become alarming. The
coming of the roar to those afar off
was preceded by a jarring of the earth
and a moaning in the air. Springs
overflowed and the water circled
around as in whirlpools. The wildest
species of birds left the woods and
thickets and came flying about the
houses, and rabbits deserted their bur
rows and sought the companionship of
domestic animals. The thunder storms
of a score of years combined could not
have rent the heavens nor disturbed
the solid earth as that cannonade did-
If the beginning was painful and ex
asperating the ending was something
to be remembered for its grandeur.
