Tho dcwh of the Vranco-dtuMsinn loan of $80, (>00, 000 to China has proved to bo a disagreeable surprise 'both to the Government and to tho leaders In fuuuvclal circles who had been relying upon oflicinl action, to aocure u largo share of the Ghineso loan for Germany.

Sun Sir: Am I have givon in lit- It more study to tin- nil ver question i tin 1 1 Senator Hill i\nd the Hon. William i\ Whllticy, I a.-Ot space to point out their error in xupitosiiiM an International agreement for fun* coinage at a common ratio for the Western na tions, a practicable thing A ratio In the coinage of a country Is tailed the mint ratio; this mint ratio is supposed to he the expression of the mar ket ratio, ascertained liy the average of price of bullion over a Ioiik period. So, when people assume a ratio, at the start, assume It arbitrarily, they simply get iholr cart before their homo. An Inter national agreement to adopt free coinage on an arbitrary ratio is an impracticable as an International agreement for every body In ll>e world to erf "l>oo" at once, in order that It miKbt l>e heard on the moon, as Is set forth In the child's story book. I think, however, that Senator 1 till and Mr. Whitney conscientiously be lieve It possible to bring on International free cotnaKe. Now, one difficulty with which these men have not reckoned is that the nations in the case entmol deal for Individuals, but as many Individual wills. Interests, fears, hopes and suspicions will bear 011 the question as the^e are individual wills and circumstances to influence them, tiresham's law Is as well established as Newton's, and men will, each for himself, push off the overrated metal under all circumstance#, even as men under our legal tender paper system, pushed off their torn and dirty money ami held to the newer, or as they now push out the pluKged and abraded coin and hold back the sound coin. Wn see this principle at work in the countries comprising the l<atln Union, and the Individuals, viewing the case from the Individual's InteroHt and acting on It, in spite of the International agree ment . This state of affairs would not lie (?hanged by widening tin- circle to Include all the nations whose people "wear brocks Npn their hinders ends and ha' purses In 'their pouches." as Hallb} Jarvio express, ed It. . Kor an ounce of allver in any shape Ik but an ounce of silver, notwith standing the assvveratlonH that delegates may make that It Is sOmethliiK else, pro vided we will hut think so or will call It bjfVanother ttaniei 'the faet Is that these solemn sayliiKH of conventions defeat their own aim; they are the formal record and' declaration of the nation's distrust. Sixteen ounces of silver are not every where and always equal; hence It be comes necessary to declare that sixteen ounces of silver are equal to one ounce of gold. l>o thoBo gentlemen know that this policy was tried and failed nearly .two hundred yearn before the l<atin Union was thought of? In H!75 an English writ er said of contracting with foreign Am bassadors to keep to a certain standard In their moneys: "No more specious re medy than this has been offered, nor fre quent In ' mentl<#n." He shows tne pre. Judloe each country would suffer, and says: "Hut when people by custom and by general use have raised the momy be forehand boyond the public declaration, and the State Is forced to follow the poopie. -whom In this case they do not. master, to what end Is It 10 contract with those nations for that which It Is not In their' power to observe?" Even the rear of Hnssla has failed In other times to make his subjects take metals at mqre than their value: for his dominion sto?s at his shores, and as gold, as 1 Horace says, Is "more powerful thsn the- htroke of thunder," It delles any hu man will. Turning to the tables printed by the Koynl fltatlstlcal Society, showing the mutation of the metals from tho time of the Conqueror, we see that the isola tion of gold to slU'or, like man himself, "never contlnueth In one Btuy," but varies from 12 54-100 to 1 In the time of Kdward T. to 10 1-2 to 1 within a century; and on to 7 to 1 In tho time of itenry VIII., and 5 to 1 In the tmme reign, and, ugaln, up to 11 to 1 In Klizabeth's time. What power shall Htay these moods', or guide Arcturus and bind tho Influences of tho Pleiades? I take It that no man whoso masoning powers have been trained sd far as the fundamental rules of arithmetic will dls-. interestedly .contend for the possibility of two standards as the sa?ie basis ' of re ference. If so, let him buy horses, say, of 14 hands standard height. Then let him say, "I will also use 12 hands as a stand ard." He will soon And that he has horses of has than his original standard, and that he has departed from it.- Bo If he shall use a standard pound of 12 ounces and another of six, In buying, gold or nil. ver. The double-standard, -Tolk talk of doing a 'thing logically Jrnd Inherently Impossible, alike to gods lind men when they talk of a double stVndard, double unit, a two that 16 one, and the same each part In each and to each. Aristotle says, "It Is necessary that all things ?should bo measured by some one. thing." Ix>cke, who favored a single standard of silver, still admitted tho futility &f trying to make a ratio between silver and gold outside ^he natural; "(hero be ing,' he says, "no Iwo things in nature whose proportion and use does not vary, It Is Irppossihlo to set a standing regular prleo between thorn." And again; "Two metals cannot be the measure of com merce both In one country." I will not venture to quote other master minds on this point, but must content myself with the well-known apotnegm of the arth metlc; "a unit Is one." At best, any negotiations to overrate one or the otb ft metal would fall of use. ful purpose if they did not Include India and China. The nature and habits,, of the Asiatics are such that If the Western nations should solemnly declare that they would a Hrt-e to underrate gold It would with certainty fly away to "the Wide Prospect ami the Asiatic fen/' I think that Prof. L?eone I*-vl of the University of London demonstrated this many years ago. 8o thvse gontb men. who think Interna tional bimetallism new, because It Is new to them, will find, as the*? go deeper Into the case, that "the longer a man lives the more he finds, by gracious, out." They will find that the question must lie considered with reference to the "Asiatic ren." Kven then thejr will -likely And themselves In the situation of those who. In the great International agree ment to -cry "Boo," kept quiet, thinking that In the great noise their voices would not be missed. Hut everybody.
