Every year, from the appreciation of gold, those clubts grow and give increased wealth to the lenders; while the borrowers despair of ever being able to satisfy the Molech. No ono grudges thees obstructing capitalists their duo: They are only grudged thers than their due. The remedy that is put forward for this, for fluctuating exchanges, for divergence between goki and silver, for falling prices in gold-wing countries, is international bi- metallisin. Isolated bimotalism is cut of the question, becausa, no country is strong enough to hear it. It is only by agreement between the leading commercial nations that it is possible, and when these have agreed to make both gold and silver legal tender to any amount, and keep their mints open to the free coinage of both rectals, the present troubles will conse

There are many persons who laugh at

the idea of a remedy for so many ills, a something that will do all that is asked of it-restore falling prices, vitalise onnulac- turce, esse debts, fix exchange, and da much eles besides. Whilst binetallism was in force the present evils were minimised, and since there is no other remedy offered it is only fair to try ene that has every likelihood of success, and has as a fact boon successful before.

Statistics published show that for three centuries previous to 1873 gold and silver maintained a ratio on to the other of, roughly, 15 to 1 in all civilised countries, and in spite of the fact that the output from the mines of both precious metais varied from year-to-year, and from century to century. The maintenance of this ratio was simply due to the fact that mints in all countries were open to the free coinage of both motals, and that the govermenta accepted, without-restriction, as legal ten- der, coin of either metal at this ratio stated. There were of course slight fluctuations in the quantities of either metal in a country, and ons might be at a slight premium, but
