Turks abandoned their last redoubt.
and the garrison fed in hot haste toward
Erzeroum, only to be pursued aud captured
by tho Cossack cavalry. Kars was 10 the
1&usso-T Turkish war what Vicksburg WAS to
tho American war, and P1evna is the Rich
mond. With tho fall Of tho former tho back
bone Of the defense Of Asia Minor is COM
p!etely broken, and Erzoroum and Trebf-

Of Russian victories. It may wei1
be doubted whether Turkey will ever again
recover possession OF The city and fortress OF
Kars; nussia will undoubtedly take good
care to prevent her anoiont enemy from re-
covering control Of this key to tho situation

1t is not easy 10 treat this particular phase
Of tho silver question with patience. 1t il
time for the most stnpid and perverso peorlc
TO abandon tho absurd theory that rcmone-
tization Of silver will dcrreciaso tho paper
instead Of approaching Tho coin. There is
nothing IN experience OF reason to jnstify
sucll an assumption. We suspect that tho
ontcry is maintained with the deliberate
purpose OF deception, for under no
other theory can II be charged that
tho reconciliation will enabio debtors to
Hwindto creditors. Honest opponents OF The
rctnonetization project like Mr.. l'ourwEtb
admit, anil for tho rest It is scif-evilont, that

1t will be worth IN gold as much AZ tho

than In paper currency worth tho Rame,

from 80 to 85 cents advanced originally by

THE FUTURE VALUE OF SILVER.
The whole burden Of tho argument used
by the opponents Of the reconciliation Of
silver may he found in the following son.
tenco. taken from the Baltimore Gazttte:
Tho grccnback now IL worth 07 cents. tho silver
dollar p2. tn mako the lattcr tcgat-ltndcr makes

bad a. itself. Every ntan WHO owns Rreenbnck

alvcf bill stcsia five cents out of every dollar that
hd owns. every hs,nd that he hutls. every credit
that hc holds aganst debtor. however It may bo
secured.
It is tlis statement that goes flying around
from one Eastern newspaper to another, and
Is reiterated day after dny In rs many differ
ent forms hs tho resources of the English
language and the tricks Of ciphcring will .ad-
nit. This reckless assertion has beon an
swered In part by Senator BOUTWELL,, an ex-
Secretary OF the Treasury, and an uncom-

regard to the probable etfcct Of the BLAND
