OUR COINAGE LAWS
———
GOLD AND SILVER AS MONEY.
—_————
History of Its Use in the United States
From 1789 to 1852.
wu
Gold and silver are the only things
mentioned for money in the Constitution
of the United States. The tramers of
that document had witnessed the evil
effects of paper currency issued by the
Revolutionary Congress. The ftitth
statute passed by the first session of the
first Congress decreed that the fees and
duties payable to the Federal Govern-
ment should be received in gold and sil-
ver coin only; the gold coins of France,
Spain, Portugal and England and all
other gold coins of equal fineness at 89
cents for every pennyweight; the Mexi-
can dollar at 100 cents; the coins of
France at 111 cents; and all other silver
coins of equal fineness at 111 cents per
ounce. This act was passed July 80,
1789. At this time there was no United
States mint and the old and sil
ver money used was almost if not
entirely the coinage ot foreign countries.
In addition, there were the old continen-
tal notes greatly depreciated. Thos. H.
Benton claim~d that the act of 1789
would have insured this country a gold
and silver currency but for what followed
two years later, viz, the plan of Alex-
ander Hamilton for the support of the
public credit. That plan involved the
establishment of a United States bank,
with power to issue paper notes which
were a legal tender. At that time we
had a gold currency which was circu-
lating freely and fully throughout the
country. Gold, said Benton, is the an-
tagonist of paper, and with fair play
would have kept the paper currency
within just and proper limits—that is, it
would limit the number of small notes
because people would rather have small
gold pieces and confine the paper cur.
rency chiefly to notes of large denomina-
tion:
The making of the United States bank
notes, legal tender for all amounts and
the effects of the bill to establish a mint
gave the notes an undue advantage over
gold which drove itout of circulation and
substituted for it notes and silver. The
latter commodity from its inconvenience
of transportation favored the circulation
of bank notes. In fixing the standard of
coinage for the new mint it was natural
that if an error in fixing tne ratio be-
tween gold and silver occurred, it should
be on the side of silver, although Gen.
Hamilton disclaimed any such intention,
and said he desired to retain both metals
in circulation. The act of April, 1792,
provided that every 15 pounds weight of
pure silver should be equal in value in all
payments with one pound cf pure gold.
This was an undervaluation of the latter
metal, and the eventual result was to
drive it out of circulation, it being ex-
ported to countries where it was
more highly valued. rom 1793
to 1834 there were issued 2,
262,717 different pieces of gold coin,
mostly half eagles with a few eagles and
quarter eagles of the value of $11,852,-
890. All of them in 1834 were out of cir-
culation, most of them having been
shipped abroad as soon as coined.
During the same period about $35,
000,000 of silver was coined,
mostly half dollars. There were
also some quarter dollars, dimes
and half dimes. Less than 1,500,000 of
silver dollars were coined during this
period and these were all made prior to
18068. It may be remarked that no gold
eagles were coined during this period
after 1804. The bank notes, therefore,
practically held the field for amounts
above a half dollar as the foreign coin
had been prohibited from circulating
here with the exception of the Spanish
milled dollar which was also finally shut
out by its being undervalued. The silver
coinage of this country had also mostly
disappeared from circulation not by for-
eign export but by being hoarded up, ex-
cept the few silver dollars which, like the
gold coin, went abroad as soon as coined.
The Bank of the United States, 1791-
1811 supplied most of the credit or paper
money, but its dissolution in the latter
year occasioned an enormous increase in
that kind of money, which was of every
degree of unsoundness. Specie pay-
ments were generally suspended in 1814,
The latter part of the war ot 1812 had
been conducted almost entirely on
treasury notes instead of long loans or
bonds. Secretary Dallas in 1815 said it
was impossible to estimate the working
value of the income of the government, a
situation similar to that which led to the
India council’s recent action in suspend-
ing silver coinage. The possession of
funds in one part no longer afforded evi-
dence of a fiscal capacity to discharge a
public debt in another part of the union.
The differing valnes of the foreign coin
used established at least seven different
standards of value in current money.
here was no standard or com.
mon denominator of value. All
things were , measured by the
primitive unit—a day’s labor. As
a measure of relief from currency diffi-
culties Congress chartered the Second
Bank of the United States in 1816 with
the right to establish branches and
privilege of issue. and revived for
three vears an act making cer-
tain foreign coins legal tender.
Again a bank note circulation with
foreign coins as a basis was accepted as
our national currency. In his report in
1820 Secretary of the Treasury Craw-
ford stated that small notes circulated in
a majority of the States to the exclusion
of silver, which latter was not abundant
anywhere except in Philadelphia, the
seat of the mint. Prof. Arthur B. Wood-
ward says tnis period has been called the
silver period by the historian of bimetal-
ism in the United States, but it is much
more distinctly the period of bank notes
and of foreign coins. Indeed 1t can hard-
ly be said to have been a veriod of Ameri-
can coinage
The nrst important change in the laws
relating to our coinage, says Prof. Wood-
ford, was made in 1834. Its purpose was
to resuscitate the gold currency. Presi-
dent Jackson had been successful in his
contest with the United States Bank,
which shortly thereafter ceased to exist,
and this fact and the increasing import-
ance of gold mining in the Southern
states seems to have been the direct occa-
sion of the law and determined its char-
acter. The act approved June 24, 1834,
provided that the weight of gold coins
thereafter issued was to be about 6% per
cent less than under the law of 1792. The
object of the framers of the act of 1834
was to restore the gold coinage to circu-
lation, and they professed to desire
to keep silver in circulation also. The
persons interested in the issue of bank
notes which would be supplanted largely
by the gold coins naturally opposed the
law. In fixing the ratio between gold
and silver quite a debate took place and
diverse ideas as to the proper figure
were developed. The bimetallic question
was in fact an issue 60 years ago. As it
was desired to favor and encourage our
gold mines of that day it was natural
that the error made in fixing the ratio
should have been on their side as it was
on the side of the note makers and silver
men in 1792. The ratio was fixed at 16
to 1. This was too high and underrated
silver. which did not tall so low again
until 1874. : ]
Large amounts of gold were immediate-
ly coined and by 1840 began that excess
of exports over imports of silver, which
has been interrupted only three times
since then. After 1848 the amount of
gold coined exceeded that of silver. The
:
miscovery or goid 1a Calitornia in 1548 !
somewhat reduced its value in the years
following, and thus greatly increased the
divergence between the mint rate and
the market rate of metals. In 1850 it
became difficult to keep fractional silver
In circulation. The small coins, even,
were worth more as silver than as
rhange, and their worth increased in
1851 and 1852. Silver was thus gradu-
ally demonetized under the action of the
law of 1884. The monetary standard of
the United States since 1837 has been
23.22 grains of gold.
SIAMS REPLY TO FRANCE
THE KINGS ANSWER TO THEE
Ultimatum Asks for More Specific Infor=
mation. The Reply Unsatis
factory to France.
sm seimroeetoenie
Siam’s reply was handed to M. Pavie,
French Minister resident in Bangkot at 2
o'clock Saturday afterncon The 48 hours
allowed by France's ultimatum for a reply
had not then expired. The text of thes com-
munication is as follows:
‘‘In reply to the communication which by
order of your government, you handed to
me on Thursday, July 20, His Majesty,the
King, my august sovereign, charged me to
make to you tha following dec!aration:
‘His Majesty regrets that no precise de-
finition ever has been given him of what
his Majesty is to understand by the expres-
sion ‘rights of the Empire of Annam and of
the Kingdom of Cambodia on the left bank
of the Mekong river and on the islands of
the Mekong river.’ His Majesty has
been ever ready to abandon all the territor-
ies over which the existence of these rights
should have been proved, and five months
ago His Majesty proposed to submit all con-
tested points gto international arbitration.
Now he submits to the pressure of circum-
stance in order to restore peace to his peo-le
pnd security to the nurerous commercial
interests at'stake in his country.
‘‘His Majesty, therefore consents to a de-
limitation of the frontiers between Siam and
Cambodia, All the territory on the left
bank of the Mekong river south of the line
drawn from the most northerly of the
Siamese military posts recently occupied by
the Franco-Annamite troops to another
point situated in the same latitude—that is,
on the eighteenth degree north Ilatitude—
will be regarded as Annamite and Cambo-
dian territory, the river below the point in-
dicated becoming the line of division be-
tween the neighboring States as far as to the
point at which the river enters Cambodian
territory. and the use of the islands in the
river being common to the three conter-
minous States. The two Siamese military
posts now existing in the above described
territory will be evacuated within a month.
*‘His Majesty deplores sincerely the losses
experienced by both sides in connection
with the Keng Kien and Khammon inci-
dents, as well as the regrettable collision at
the mouth of the Menamo river. The
Bangbien will be liberated and other satis-
faction demanded, will, if necessary, be
given, so far as is compatible with ordinary
justice and the independence of the Siamese
Government, which the French Govern-
ment has declared its desire to respect. The
four persons found guilty of acts of person-
al aggression contrary to international law
against French subjects will be punished,
and, where necessary, compensation in
money will be made to the relatives of the
victims.
‘Long notes have been exchanged by us
five times on the subject of certain claims
wade by French subjects on account of dam-
age alleged to have been suffered by them,
owing to the actions of Siamese officials.
These allegations are contested, however,
by the latter, The King, guided by thesame
considerations as those actuating the {fore-
going decisions, agrees not to insist upon
the question of principle, and 10 hand over
to the government of the French Republic
the sum of 2,000,000 francs for the benefit of
those who suffered the above mentioned
losses. The Siamese government proposes,
without, however, making it a condition,
the appointment of a mixed commission to
inquire into the question of damages and
the amount of money indemnities de-
manded.
The Siamese Government will immediate-
ly deposit 3,000,000 francs to cover the
amount of indemnification enumerated
above, the deposit to be made simultaneous
with the exchange of notes by the two Gov-
ernments, His Majesty having reason to
believe that, after proper inquiry, that sum
will be found toexceed the amount of in-
demnities claimable, relies on the justice of
the French Government for the refunding
of such a balance as shall remain available
after the settlement of the different cases.
The Sia nese Government is confident that
in acceding to the demands of the French
Government in the manner shown by the
foregoing declarations it has given proof of
its sincere desire to maintain good relations
with the French Republic and to settle in
the most complete and definitive manner
all questions pending between the two Gov-
ernments. The communication is signed by
the Siamese Minister of Foreign Affairs.
NOT SATISFACTORY TO FRANCE,
A dispatch from Paris says that Siam’s
repiyv to France's ultimatum is un-
satisfactory to the French government and
that M, Pevie, French minister resident in
Bangkok, is preparing to leave the city.
300 SIAMESE KILLED,
On July 19 and 20 the French bombarded
and captured four Siamese sorts near the
Mekong river. The Siamese lost 300 killed
and 200 wounded.

THE WHITE CiTY DESERTED.
THE MOST COMPLETE CLOSED SUNDAY THAT THE
WORLD'S FAIR HAS KNOWN. A
PEACEFUL SABBATH.
The White City was deserted Sunday.and
the warm sun of the peaceful Sabbath
shone upor desolate throughfares, lonely
Columbian guards and a few inhabitants
of Midwav Plaisance who had left that cos-
mopolitan quarter early in the day to view
the big buildings in the park. The Sunday
closing order was rigidly enforced, and any
person who entered the Exposition grounds
had to prove that his presence there was
absolutely necessary.
All buildings were closed and the sign
‘‘c osed to-day’ placed onthe doors of a
few of the State homes was entirely un-
necessary, as there were no personsin the
park who cared to do any visiting or sight-
seeing. All the electric and steam launches
and gondolas were tied up, on fountain was
playing aud the thousands of booihs were
arren of wares and saleswomen, It was the
most complete ‘‘closed Sunday’ theWorld's
Fair has known. Only two gates were open
and these were for pass-holders.
There was no trouble of any kind from
persons wishing to enter the grounds. The
nearest approach to a disturbance was at 9
a. m., when a drink-flushed individual
mounted a box across the street from the
Fifty-seventh street entrance and called
vaciferously for 100 volunteers to aid him
in tearing down a section of the fence, in
order to allow poor iaboring men to see the
Fair free. A Hyde park yoliceman stopped
the harrangue, and took the man away in a
patrol wagon.
The crowds outside the gates along Stony
Island avenue were small during the day,
and the numerous side shows did nothing.

DISAPPOINTING ATTENDANCE,
Although up to this time nearly 6.000,0 0
persons have paid to see the fair and have

World's fair officials are disappointed in the
attendance. At the present rate the record
jor the first haif of the six months of the
fair will reach 6.750,000. The most sanguine
experts on expositions say that under the
most favorabie conditions the toral atten-
dance will not reach 20,000.000. Before the
exposition opened World's fair officials de-
clared that the attendance would reach a

STOOD THE STRAIN WELL.
Business Maintained Throughout the
Country Despite the Failures During
the We:k Just Passed.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s ‘‘Weekly Review of
Trade” says:
This week the country has withstood sur-
prisingly well an extraordinary strain, The
failure of many banks and firms, a great
iron syndicate and other companies, the
remarasable fall in stocks and the closing of
some important manufacturing establish-
ments, have come. in spite of relaxation in
Eastern and some Western and Southern
money markets. Denver banks were over
thrown largely by the unfounded panic of
the people, and several banks in Kansas
have also gone down, but in most cities the
statements just published show the banks
in a healthy condition, and there has since
been noticed more readiness to extend
accommodation,
The great depression. in stocks came at a
time when easier money. some return of
currency from the interior and a beginning
of gold imports from Ilurope made many
hopeful. |
The closing of many manufacturing es-
tablish ments is the inevitable result of great
shrin age in orders for sometime past and
uncertainty regarding the future. Gloomy
crop reports by the department also contrib-
buted to checr reviving hopes. Uner all
the conditions it is astonishing that busi-
ness has been so well maintained with so
little evidence of unsoundness.
‘The Treasury has been paying gold to the
banks, but on the whole increasing its hold-
ings. Lxports of products are a little larger
than a year ago, but imports are also large.
The failures during the past wee: number
467 in the United States acainst 168 last year
and 25 in Canada against 19, two of thefail-
ures being of capital exceeding $500,000 and
100 others of capital exceeding £5,000 each.
The previous week the failures in the Unit-
ed States number 374, and the previous
week before that 524.

Gentlemen:—**I desire to tell you just how 1
was, so that the public may know of your
wonderful Swamp=Root. Two ycars ago
last October I had spells of vomiting; I could
not keep anything in my stomach; the Doctor
gaid I had consumption of the stomach and
bowels; continued to run-down in weight; 1
was reduced to 60 1bs. I would vomit
blood, and at one time as much as three pints;
we had two of the best Physicians and they
were terrible.” A neighbor told us of your
Swarm p-Root, and my husband got a bottle; I
took it to please him. I used six bottles of
Swamp-Root and I am now nearly as well as
ever. I weigh 108 Ibs.y do my own work and
take care of my baby. Every one says, £ tas
raised from the dead, and many will not be-
lieve that I am still living until they come and
see me, and then they can’t believe their own
eyes, I am looking so well,” Very gratefully.
