The Coinage Act of 1873.

Colonel 4. l.. Snowdcn, of the Philadelphia
Mint, III an article on the silver dollar in the
Philadelphia Times, says OF the coinage act OF
1873, about which the silver men have 50 much
say:
The coinage act of 1913 made radical
changes in the Mint organization, and beside
the abrogation of the old dollar also increased
the standard weight Of the subsidiary silver
coins one half per cCntum, making them OF
weight and corresponding fine
ness with the French iive-trnc piece. In cX.
pressing the weight of the pieces, the old mode
of doing so in grains was abandoned and the
same expressed in grammes following in this
respect the French.
In the preliminary discussions had in the
preparation OF the bill il was the intention OF
the trainers 10 omit the silver dollar, halt dime
and thrcc-ccnt silver piece altogethcr from our
coinage, the small coin, a. their places were
filled by nickel copper coins, and the dollar
because it held no proportonate or rclat.y 80
connection with the halves, quarters and
dimes of the same alloy. The only argument
submitted against lis ahrogation was that il
was an historical coin, and that il was a cup.

American Wines.

. The excellence of the wines and the import
lance of the art of wine-making in America are
rapidly increasing and there are strong rea'
sons for the belief that this country will ultl-
ma,ely equal, if not surpass, Europe in the
amount and quality Of wines produced, At
the present day our pure light wines are un.
doubtcdly to be preferred to the many sorts OF
adulteratcd foreign products frequently met
with.
| The increase in the production Of American
wine has been very rapid during the last thlr
Ity.fve years. Thus, in 1910 the total prodnc
lion was 124,134 gallons; in 1850 il was 22l,
t249 gallons; in 1860 it was 1S6O,OOo gallons
and at present the annual supply is probably
lat least 20,0OO,OOO gallons. The relative
Iamounts of wine furnished by the different
states appear to have changed considerably
Since 1850. In 1850 the chief production was

opposition, then the principle which has
been adopted in these cases is perfectly
proper one But, that being admitted, the
Senators must of course have what they
call their own again, the attempt at civil
service reform must be set down as q fiat
failure, and President HAYES and his Cabi-
net must return with the best grace they
can to the beaten paths followed by their
predecessors"
This is plain talk, but from present ap-
pearances the time for plain talk has ar
rived, and he who is most outspoken best
serves his country. There can be no more
temporizing; no more indulgence in the
hope that concessions to the enemy do not
mean absolute betrayal; no more daliance
with doubtful expcdients for pacifying q
hostile foe, whose purpose it is to dcspoil
this Republican administration of its pa

tience will tolerate it, and it is about time
the Senate call halt.

"Where from ?r
Can Such Things BE ?

1t is now intimated that Senators BAY
ARD and SALISBURY have so far succeeded
in getting the confidence of President
HAYES as to secure the probable removal of
Mr.. DUNN, Republican United States
Marshal of the State of Delaware, and the
appointment of Democrat in his place. We
are reluctant TO believe this for two reasons
In the first place, it does not consist with
the announced policy of the President
relating to the interference of Senators and
Representatives in Congress with his
appointments to allow these Senators any
consideration in such case and in the
second place, we have not yet come to be-
hove fully that President HAYES has
arrived at that point of alienation toward
the party that elected him where he could
turn out Republican without proper
cause and appoint an outright Democrat of
the BAYARD-SAULsBURY school to any
position under his administration.
If, however, there is any just grounds for
this intimation, it is matter of simple JUS
tioe to the Republican party that it should
know it at the earliest possible moment.
CuCH al appointment Cul nOt De nlilut Ill
Delaware or anywhere else in the country
without the act being regarded as direct in
suit to the Republican party, and it is high
time that a Republican Senate should
fully understand the posture of affairs, that
il may put down breaks and avert such
rank injustice to a party and principles which
have honored the President already over,
much. The Senate has it in its power tC
prevent such an outrage upon the party
which its majority represents. We think {
few such insults TO the party will prove the
feather which will break the camels back
They cannot be regarded in any other light
than as acts of war on the part Of the ex,
ecutivo against those who elevated him tc
power, and the challenge must be accepted
promptly and met decidedly.
We might have deferred this line of re,
mark but for the fact that other similar
instances of the kind have occurred, and
which are brought to our notice by the New
York Times, which refers to the fact that the
President has already conceded TO the Dem
ocratic congressional delegation of Georgia
the right of naming United States mar
shal Of their own stripe for that State, and
to WADE HAMPTON the privilege of nomi
