The attempt, iu Ihe northeast corner of t be deuiocratlB DBBTp, to raise again the question of rutin, is by men who ar retly hostile to the use of silver as true money. Could they have their way, they would east aside entirely the issue of bimetallism. At present their antagonism goes no further than an attr.-k on the ratio, for the reason that they believe they -a n attack the ratio withfltit having their claim to laftBf democrats questioned. All cot siderations require that the ratio should not le wider thau sixteen to one. If it were to Ik- changed at all. It shobld be narrowed, to correspond to the ratio of the Latin unl m. fifteen and one-half to one. which would make it easier for France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Urceoe, Spain and Russia to follow the lead of the United States in open. -ig the mints to the free coinage of silver. After the battle is won in this country, the nations Banted wi!l still be n tarried by an uncertainty as to the effect on their currency of the oac-balf point difference between their ratio nnd ours. America, to secure their cooperation, may ultimately find it to Ler advantage to remint her silver at the ra'.lo named. But as we are not assured of the support of those countries, there is no reason why we should, at this time, go out of our way to oblige them, especially ob they leave us to fight the battle alone. I In all ara unient s by our adversaries, silver is priecri in gold. Yery well: as words go, we can as well use that manner of speech BS Bay other. Ilcmcmber,

: then, silver is r ru-ed in terms of gold. J

With this for a Wist! on which to work. let us compare th recent centuries and ' see about what tbe ratio should be. in , the Lghl f sliver a-d gold productions of this century.

From the discovery of America to the year louo the world produced 30 ounces of silver to one of gold, and yet the ratio was about fourteen to one. During the next century tbe world's output was 40 ounces of silver to one of gold, yet the ratio was scarcely more than fifteen to one. In the next cen

tury, 1T(H to 1800, the production was ugain Moeuaets Of silver to one of gold, with no appreciable caange of the ratio; yet there had Letu a variation in the ratio of production of over 21 per pent. Aa both metuls bad free coinage, this difference in ratio of production was not able to make itself felt in the commercial ratio. During the first ten years of 'his century. 50 ounces of silver were produced to every ounce of g '!. yet the i tatio was not thrown out of joint. In the BeCOBd ten years tbt world's pre ; duction was 40 ounces of silver to ( tie l of gold. According to the theories of gold mOBOaattallUU, the ratios ef all the nations in tbe world should have ! gone all to pieces at this sudden widen- ! irg of the ratio of production.

The wide commercial ratio is due entirely to legislation hostile to silver anl favorable to gold. The tremendous power of such legislation is een in the effect that it has had on the price of silver iu u century of lowsilver production as compared to roUL We must stand by the ratio.
