What sixteen to One Means.
Under this lav, with us, 3711
grains of pure silver were put in a dol.
lar and 23 1-5 grais of pure gold
Were put in a dollar, 16 gold dollars
to weigh as much as 1 silver dollar.
That is whatil6 to 1 means. In other
words, any one bringing 3711 grains
of silver to the mint had it coined
intoa dollar and any ono bringing
23.22 grains of gold to the mint had
it coined into a dollar And as long
as this was the law no man was willing
to sell or did sell that much silver or
gold for less than a tollar. Foreign
inducements at times caused much of
our gold to leave us as it is doing now,
but we had silver to fall back on, and
then again when much of our silver
left us we had gold. Thus we walk
ed down the century on two logs
from 13 poor colonies to 37 grand
states.
