RELATIVE VALUE OF SILVER AND GOLD.
Elsewhere wo print u. r. C.'s communion
tfon on tho re1ntive value Of silver and gold
It shows how dangerous it Is for one not
familiar with his ground to undertake to
hantllo financial statistics or detluce ooncl,t.
sions from calculations tho behring's Of which
ha does not comprehend. II. r. g. seeks to
prove that silver is worth much less thnn 1t
10, hoping in this wny to make point
against tho demonstration Of tho silvor dol
lar. His only facts aro n borrowed table of
the worlds production Of gold and silver
which haa boen published hundreds of times,
and from 1t he daduces tho ridiculous con-
c1usion that the ratio valuo Of s1-
ver bullion. to gold bullion is actually
as 4c to l. Ii. P. @. has correctly copied
the tablo ho gives, but, whero tho origi-
nal table contains two estimates, ho has
taken pains to omit the oue loast favorable
to hfs argument. Forinstance, ths estimate
he gives Of tho product Of 1873-gold, 97.5;
silver, 72; total, 15o.5-is tho ono mado by
tho journal des Aconomtstes, bnt the bsst in
formed consider It at least $40, 100000 too
low for silver aud considerably too low for
gold. This alono produces vicious miscal-
culntion in our correspondents oypherins.
II. P. 9. has made very gruat mistake.
The preposterous variation Of his ratio (4G
to y from the ratio (154 to y that prevailed
between gold and silver for the two hundred
years before the American ond German de-
monetization Of silver should have aroused
his guspfcions that he was in grave
o7or, and saved him from a mortifying
public exhibition of Ignorance. Els who1o
assumption, that the relative value Of gold
md silver depends on the relative amount of
thoir rocent annual production, is unfoundod
He has utterly overlooked tho immensa stock
Of coin on hand in the commercial world.
According to tho best authorities, this has
been and is ~ follows:

The prominence given to breach of
faith on The part OF MILTON SAYLEn, Speaker
pro tsn., by Alr. PAGE, Of California, was
tho cause Of scene OF great confusion dur
ing the last hours of tho HOUSE. It ar.
pcased that the acting Speaker had promised
hlr. PAaK and l1r. WooDnuaa, Of Nevada,
that Mr. KAssoN should be appointed on the
Chinese Immigration Commission, but tlat
the speech made by KAssoN on Monday,
wherein T1IpzH was so numerically hayed,

THE GovERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS.


The roal purpose Of tho Confederate
House in aevorely cutting tho appropriations
for tho expenses Of tho Government has
boon mado apparont in the apcechos Of
MessrH RANDALL and others, in which IN
exaggerated statemont of the amount saved
Is put forth as T11pEN and HHspn1cns
campaign document. The trick is not new
ono. In fact, Presidential campaigns usually
bring tho party in control 10 realization Of
the necessity Of putting the expenses down
to tho lowest notch. Thus, the Republican
Congress Of 1868 reduced tho appropriations
to S159, ,00o, GEO, and, as prices RANGED from
25 to s3 per cent higher at TINT time than
now, that figure was really much lower than
the $147. 722, ,210 now fixed by the Domo-
crats. But tho Republicans in that
yoar placed tho appropriations too low,
as tho Democrata have dono this
yoar, and the following year there was a
large deficiency to make up. The same or
porionce will DO repeated this year, but, az
the deficiency will not become apparcnt un-
til after the Presidential election Ia over, 1t

BEAVER CREEK RANCH, NJ. r. May Sth 1876.
EDITOR HUsBANDMAN: For the benefit
of those of your readers interested, / will
state the result of my observations of the
scab-mite.
Enclosed some in q bottle, April 9TH, at
the end of one week they were, if possible,
livelier than when taken from the sheep.
At the end of the second week, they APP
peared a tritle dull in a cool room, but on
being placed in the sunlight, they o re-
gained their usual activity. The third
week a part of them seemed dead. or very
dull, but many retained considerable loco
motive power. A few were still alive at the
end of the fourth week; and to-day May Sth,
on examining under the glass, I can discov-
er no sign of life.
They are kept in a corked bottle, in a
room without fire; whether this condition
is more favorable to p%rolongation of life than
outdoor exposure, I am unable to say.

FROM a letter received at this office, dated
at Los Nietos, California, April q, we ex-
tract the following: "Mr. L. commenced
cutting barley for hay this week, and will
soon commence heading all his grain. The
corn crop is looking fine. Fresh strawber-
rles are in market. | mention these items
thai you may see how forward vegetation is
here. After cutting his barley, Mr.. F. in
tends putting corn and pumpkins on the
sam land, thereby getting three crops in
the same season."
