"Free silver" is sbhort for the free coinage of silver ; which means that any man can take silver builionâ€"or silver forks for that matterâ€"to the mint and‘get the pure metal coined int> dollars at a certain fixed rate. The Demoorats are asking for coinage at the famuus ratio of 16 to 1. That is, they want it decreed by law that at the nations! mint 16 pounds of silver shall be worth and can be exâ€" for 1 pount of wohd:" At thi :Ehb‘mflw contains 23.# grains of pure gold,while the silver dollar contains 271 1â€"4 grains of pure silver. This, it will be seen, is at the ratio of 16 to 1 ; so that what the silverites ask is that silver be ccin ed into the existing kind of silver dolâ€" lars whenever presented at the mint. At the present tims the U. 8. Govern ment only coins silver dollars as it wants to use them; and maintains them at the vaine of 2 goid dolier by meking them redeemable in goid. Up until 1873, the United States was on a bimetallic basks. ‘Then silser The World.â€"It is culy fitting for The World to admit that Mr. Luurier‘s Cabinet has met with general approval all over the country. In spite of its weak points, as referred to in The World yesterday,â€"the new Cabinet is oue of undoubted strength. ; The fact that it contains the exâ€"premiers of three provinces, Ontario among them, with the powibility of being still further reinforced by the Premier of Manitoba, has imparted considerable prestige and inspired general confidence in the ability and representative character of the new Liberal Ministry, There is no good reason why the new miniaters should be opposed when seeking reâ€" election. We believe most of them will be, and we think all of them ought to be, returned by acclamation. It is to be hoped the new Government will get in business shape at once. There are many matters affecting the welfare of the country that demand urgent attention, We have valuabie mining districts that stand much in need of improved railway communicaâ€" tion, The settlement of the Northâ€" west is alwaye in order, and if the new Government have any new policy in this direction they caunot introduce it aby to soon....Then there is the question of the fust Atlantic service, which‘is ripe for settliement. These and various other reforms have been on the slate for some time. ‘The new mini® try ought to lose no time in advancing theg® various projects to completion. No member of the council of a focal municipality nor aay clerk, treasurer, assessor or collector there of shall be eligible for nomination or election as a county councillor. But a member of any municipal council for the year 1896 shall not be ineligirle for nomination or elestion by reason ouly of his being a member of such council for the year ites now refer to as "the erime of 1853" time, ailver and goid remeined at the old ratio o 15 12 to 1. the time of the discovery of the divided into 6 or 7 divisions and the number of county cuunciliors will be not less than 12 nor more than 14.

Mr. Herdy, who hes been Sir Oliver‘s tried and capable lieutenant for many years, will make a strong Premier. Bir Oliver Mowat has resigned the Prenfiership of Ontario which he has held for 24 years and Hon. Mr. Hardy hus been called upon to occupy the responsibls position. The record of Sir Oliver is unique. He has occupied for nearly a quarter of a century the first office in the gift of the first province in the Dominion and now leaves the Opposition wesaker than it bas ever been.

This was in 1851. To repreas the flow of gold, the Bank of England advanord the minimum rate of its discounts {from 3 12 to 3 per cent., while the Freach mint, to resist the iuflux, refused to receive gold for coinage after 9 o‘clock in the morning ; and so great was the pressure that no oune had bope of admission unless he was in line at the gate of the mint by the break of day." In the United States at this time, there was an agitaâ€" twon for the demonetization of go‘!d,and it was proposed to meet the scarcity of silver by debasing the silver coinage But the Aurry ?fl and subsequently silver began to into disfavor. Britain bad demonetized silver so long ago as 1816 ; but Germany, the Umited Staves, Frange and the Litin Union kept their mints open until 1872. Germany closed its miunts to silver in July, 1873, and France and the Latin . Unionâ€"Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Greece as well «s France â€"followed suit in January, ‘74. For a time the American Government, threw a sop to the silver miners by purchasing a fixed amount of silver an nually, and puying for it in gold ; but this law (the Sherman Act) was repealâ€" ed by the Democratic Congress at its first session after the eletions of 1892. :'.:'.Z."E».Eo-u"";': so long “m .w-p neations nuc,:‘ubnflnt:-hqn‘“ m oc arent. tween gold and silver.

The silverites claim that this is due to the demonatization of silver ; and that, if it were remoneâ€" trzed, it would go back to the old ratio of 16 to 1. The sound money men abâ€" solute‘y deny this claim ; and say that, if the United States were to open its mints to silver, the value of a dollar would be dragged down to the silver leve!, gold would go to a premium and leave the country, while all the silver in the world would be dumped into the United]States. This would mean x de: cided depreciation of the value of & dollar and would amount to a partial repudiation of debts now expressed in dollar terms. That is, a dollar could then be bought for less labor or less wheat or less produce of any kind; and a farmer, for instance, who owed & mortgage on his farm, could pay it off with 1000 to 1500 bushels of whest instead of 2000 bushels, The silver men deny it but it would seem reasonâ€" able to imagine that this might have something to do with the strength of the silver movement in the mortgaged west. up. _ There is a wide distinction between an international biâ€"metallist such as Hon. A. J, Balfour and an American "free silverite." Practically all public men in the United States are internaâ€" tional biâ€"metallists. Mr. Beifour, if he were in the United Btates, would not dream of being a "free silverite. The bimetallists believe that there is not mgfll in the world to form a basis for all â€"the money that ocinege.
