THE CHICAGO SILVER LEAGUE AND ITS PURPOSE. Tho formation in this city of 9 poworful Silvor-Money Loaguo has furntvhod the advo- cates of an oxclnsive gold currency an oppor- tunity to parade again their stale nnd throad- bare objections to silver, Thoir objection as stated by tha gold-bug organ fs, that, whon tho two motals, silver and gold, do not bear the sno relative value in tho form of bullion that they do in the formof coin, thon that which hns tho lonst rolative value in bullion bocomes inforior, and, boing the cheaper curronoy, the denror ono will dopart; and therefore, silver boing of lesa valuo as bullion than {tis as coin, tho regult must bo, that thoro will bo no motallia monoy in this con- try othor than silvor, It is of no woight that this objection has boen rofuted time and again; the oppononis of asilvor ourrency ropent it over nud over, and continue to spoak of silyor dolinrs ns really ‘'84-cont” dollars, ‘There are certain facts in this matter which thove people persistontly ignoro, and ono of theso a, that they comparo tho valuo of domonotizedsilvor with that of monotized gold; thoy first de- stroy by demonatization tha money valuo of the ono motnl, thereby inoransing the money yaluo of the olhor motal, and thon making the monetized tho atnudard by which to measure the value of the demonotized. Gold and ollvor constitute tho motallic monoy of tho world. Neither, alone, is xuficient to meot the wants of mankind, aud of tho two gold is tho scarcer and loss wufliciont in supply. To demonotizo allver reduces, to tho extont of demonatization, the nggregate of metallic mouoy, and to the extont that gold is made tha oxclusivo currency its value is enlarged. The domonotization of silver crontes an incronsed necessity for gold, which, being scarce and insufilciont in supply, ob- tains an oularged purchasing power, and tho goldites thon making gold nt this extrnordi- nary valno tho standard, measure theroby tho vatua of silvor, Tho demonetization of silvor is noofdental, and all that is nosded to restoro it to its ordinary valno as compared with gold is to ropair tho accident, and tho result will follow. Silver was demonotizod in thia country not beenuso it was not at par with gold, but in order to give gold an additionalvalue, Germany, acting at tho same .time and under probably the same influonoes, domonotized silver, Tho increased demand for monotized gold to take the place of tho demonotized silver gave ndditiounl value to the ono at tho cost of tho other, No ono will question that the remonotization of ail. vor by tho Unitod States and Germany will restoro the valuo of silver as bullion to what it was bofore tho change, and henco tho ob- ject of the Chicago Silver League, to pro. moto tho completo restoration of silvor, isin tho general intorest of mankind and of tho revival and extension of tho world’s com- mero, Asx tho demonatization of silver reduced tho demand for it, so the remonotization of ail- vor will reatora the demand for it. Tho act of 1878 did not restore the uso of silvor as money. Tho bill just defoated in Congress, knowm asthe Wanyen bill, wonld havo ro- stored tho use of silver, would have fur- nishod an unlimited markot for it, and of ne. ceasity would have rafiod-its valuo as bull- ion to its value ns monoy. ‘Tho argument that gold will not cirenlate with silver ag cnrroncy, becanso tho gold valuo of silver ns builion is not equal to tho value of coin, isone of theso half tratha which deceive no ono not willing to be do- ceived. Tho ‘‘dollar” of the United States has beon always and is now a specified woight of silver or 9 specificd woight of gold. Eithor of these is a legal dollar, and noattempt by law or othorwiso bas over boon made to make tho silvor dollar equal in gold to tho gold dollar, or the gold dollar equal in silver to tho nilver dollar, In point of fact, their bullion values havo nevor been equal; ono or the othor has always beon ata promium, ‘ho vory theory and funda- mental principle on which tho bi-metallio curronoy routs is that this inequality of tho motals, ‘owing to tomporary causes, may work no derangement of tho values of any other property or of dobts, becanso bi-motallism sccuros fo tho country the option of paying in that curreney which at the momont may happen to be tha choapor, Whon tho cure roncy is bi-motallie there can bo no ‘cor- nora” on gold nor any apecniation in allyor, Dobts may not be advanced 6, 10, or 20 por cent by the ndvanco in valua of tho motallic monoy, nor the value of property reduced to niko oxtont by tho decline of tho currency, Such variations are impossible undor tha bi- motallic systom. ‘Tho one metal regulates the other, When in tho oarlier days of tho Ropublio the gold coin was tho doarost, ail- ver, boing the cheaper, waa tho universal monoy of the United States, ‘Then the gold coin was mundo tho cheapor, ond the ailvor became the doarer, and then the cheaper gold camo into gonoral uso, Whon, agaiu, in 1875, gold became tho doarer and silver tho choaper, and tho demand for silver coin was mado, it was discovered that silver had been surreptitiously demonotizod, and for tho first timo in tho history of thia country the Amor. ivan people were deprived of tho option to pay in the cheaper coin, ‘This option, as it exists in ovory country where tho Jaw of bi-:natallian Peryuits, oper- ates effectually to provont any dopreciation of tho currant value of oithor coin, and equally to provont tho sdvanco in value of cithor coin, or to forco oithor ono out of gon. oral uso, In Franco, Belgium, Switzerland, aud Italy tho silver coin, though 6 por cont Jeas in builion value than that in the United Btatos, circulates freely, and in what would be considerod in thls country enormous amounts, but it has not expellod the gold, which fs og abundant in Franco as it is in England, whero it {a the oxclusive metallio money, If gold advances in valuo, silver, which is abundant, iinmediately takes its placo, and, under tho option, silver fs usod in paymonts, It {gs of no advantage to oxport. the gold, becanso the gold ts worth ag much in Franco as elsowhoro and no more, and, as silver Is at par with gold, tho two curroncles have an cquallty of yaluo and of purchasing power, Kither may get scarco and riso in value, or become abundant and decline in value, to the serious loss and dorangement of finances in thoge countrios which hava but the ouo motal in uso; but nosuch fluctuations or convulsions and Auanclal disasters such have visited Groat Hritain and Gormany cau affect Franco or any other country whero bi-metallisin ia the rule, aud whon the option to pay in vithor wold or silver is in the haude of the poopta, ‘This option to pay in the cheaper money enables Englund to keep in circulation ot par 100,000,000 of subsidinry nilver, and that, ton, whon its onforcad paymont is’ only toaemall amount.

Ag this option could float that vast nmount of paper money of that character, so itis thnt: Franco can carry 80 inauy hundred millions of allver coin, and s0, under tho option which haa always ex- {ated undor the bi-mnotallio law in this coun- try, thore can bo kept at par all tho silver dollars of tho original standard weight that tho mints can coin for many years to come.
