OUR CONFUSING MONEY TERMS,
From the Philadelphia Times.
A Norristown correspondent
the Times to explain “what the follow-
ject of discussion and the legal or prac-
tical meaning is disputed-—-viz.: bimet-
_allism, gold standard, free coinage and
16 to 1.”
Surprising as it may appear, in view
of the very general discussion of these
money terms alike in public journals,
in political addresses and in the gener-
al disputations which prevail among
the people in their leisure hours, their
precise meaning is very widely misun-
derstood and variously interpreted,
and a concise explanation of them may
seem appropriate.
Bimettallism is the use of the two
chief precious metals, silver and gold,
as a double standard currency. The
gold dollar and the silver dollar are
msde legal tender by the government,
and thus, by the action of the govern-
ment, made of equal value regardless
of the variance in the intrinsic value
of the coin. Our gold dollar has nev-
er varied in value for the reason that it
has been the standard of value, not on-
ly here but throughout all nations of
the world, and a gold coin is stamped
by every government that creates it
with its actual value,
fore, no variation in the value of
gold coin in any country of the world.
Our silver dollar intrinsically
worth to-day about 35 cents, but it
made worth 100 cents by the fiat of the
government, and the law requires that
shall maintain the
equal value of the two coins, that

In other words,
buy all the silver produced at
double its market value, by issuing in
lars worth intrinsically but 53 cents
but which the government must make
good for 100 cents in gold.
The 16 to 1 basis means simply this
—that 16 ounces of silver shall produce
in our coinage the same number of dol-
lars that one ounce of gold will pro-
duce. Ifthe metals were coined ace
cording to their intrinsic value, it
would now require over 30 ounces of
silver to produce the same number of
dollars eoined from one ounce of gold.

the legal and practical meaning of the
