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 ceined. la his testimony before the Rota!

anouBts of gold for French silver.

This, combined with the immense gold production of California and Australia, drained France of a large portion of her silver. The conditions of 1811 were now reversed, aad England's

extraordinary demand for silver was

set by the French demand for gold

to taxe its place, and again the parity-

was preserved.

ciple nere stated. But without consult

ing the authorities at all. It ought to

w manifest to any persoa of ordinary

intelligence who stops to think. When a rich and powerful country like France said to every man who had gold bullion, "Bring It to the French mint and It hall be coined at the rate or 1 ounce to 15V4 ounces of silver"; at the same time saying to the owners of sliver bullion, "Bring that along and have It coined at the rate of 15 ounces to 1 ounce ef gold, aad when so coined they shall both be full legal tender everywhere in France." It ought to be plain that ae man with a grain of business esse would take much lees than the French mint rate. It was aot aecessary that "all the silver ia the world," as the American geldiu put It, ehealc ftwwti tott U Frana hum.
