cannot control commercial values. These
depend on demand and supply, and defy the
cnactmcnts of the statute book. Laws can
not make what is plentiful, scarce. nor what
is scarce, plentiful; and the cheapest circu-
lation always keeps the field. This is proved
10y theory and demonstrated by experience.
TO those who would honestly maintain
our old double standard we have thus only
to repeat that there is no possibility Of
maintaining it except in one way. That way
is the old way 1t is by keeping our gold and
silver dollars of equal value. The silver
dollar must be- 80 made as to command
gold dollar. and rice rersd. Unless we do
this, we can have no double standard in the
sense in which we have always had n stand
ard. To have silver dollars Of ono value and
gold dollars of another, would lead to com
plications and cmbarrassmcnts in the trad
ing and finance world which would be intol-
cradle. Il would create a ncvcr-ending strug-
gle to make ninety cents or eighty cents pass
for a dollar. Everybody can see without
further explanation how impossible would
be- the task and how absurd the attempt
The idea. therefore, might as well hc
abandoned first as last, that any relief from
our necessities in prosecuting policy Of
resumption is to he gained from adhering To
the theory Of double standard Of gold and
silver This double standard may be de-
fcndcl and advocated upon variety Of
grounds: but we hive shown that if it Is to
hc adhered to, it can only be maintained ia
the way II has always existed among us.
Since. then, It is clear that the double
standard cannot he made available to
further the aims Of tho milationists, We
may presume we shall hear less about
it when this fact il moro fully known
and appreciated. Mr.. SHERMAN may
To- hc sure. consider his little scheme of n
temporary silver resumption as good
enough MORGAN till after election. But the
truth will out in the end and then will come
the embarrassment arising from his in.in-
ccre and impracticablc method # dealing
with the subject The whole silver coinage
must I've rcmodcllcd and adjusted TO its true
relative position In regard Co gold. or We must
abandon the popular plan OF restoring n fun
silver circulation, and remit that metal to
To- used in our fractional coins exclusively.
While used for the mere purpose of change

paratively plastic in tho hands of the law

Whether the one course or the other

ance of the excessive supply from the silver

A Ghost That viii Not Down.

Tho announcement that -four unknown mon
had been indicted for perjury in some UNI
known case in New orleans would not ord-
narily awaken much interest IN other parts Of
the country; but when it is stated that
the four men indicted tor perjury, 50
far from being unknown, are Mo--rs.
WELLS, ANDERSON. lIuSNrR. and CASE
NAVE, members OF the Louisiana Return
ing Board, and that the alleged perjury con-
sisted in swearing falsely to election re-
turns a stir may naturally I've caused by the
Intelligence throughout the whole land.
1t is apparent from the anxiety manifested
by the HAYES men in New Orleans that a
conviction Is seriously arprchcnded and
who can calculate at This timc what might
be the ultimate and indirect consequences
which would cn-uc from conviction; or, III
decd. who will venture To- predict what they
might not be 4 judicial determination OF
the real facts of the Louisiana election. even
by state court, might prove the entering
wedge which would in time discover Nj
HAYES from the Office he occupies.
II is said that Mr. HAYES has conf
dence that Gov. NICHOLS would par
don Mcssrs. WELLS, ANDERSON. kENNEn,
and CAsENAvr. if they should De con-
victed, in pursuance Of solemn com
pact he entered into a. a condition #
being installed in his Office rs Governor.
But what right had Cos. NICHOLS To
make such a pledge: And what right had
Mr.. HAYES to exact or receive it from
him ? II NICHOLS was elected to- his office,
he was entitled to it Internationally. Ii lie
was not elected. Mr.. HAYES had no business
to place him in it upon any coalitions what
ever.
We trust the parties indicted will have a
perfectly fair trial. We should look with
adherence upon the unjust conviction Of
any one; but IL they are guilty, no men are
less deserving Of mercy, and MI. HAYES
might get himself into very serious trouble
by interceding for their pardon.

IL seems, have suffered deeply because the
Queen and Prince do not rate GRANT with
kings, and treat him accordingly. Why
the Court should make an exception III his
favor and grant him precedence not ac-
corded to other cx-Presdcnts, it IS hard TO
SOC; but pTERREpoNT doesn't hook at it in
that light. He thought he hal fixed the
thing, and that instead of attending plain
Mr. GRANT of the United states he would be
acting as the lieutenant of sovereign. the
royal brother II the Queen and uncle Of the
Prince Of WALLS So apt are We to fall
when we try 20 mount too nigh!
But PIERREroNr has done the best he
could. He has exhausted diplomacy to sway
the stubborn Court, and he has spent much
money Of his own in getting up dinners and
receptions to GRANT. lie has succeeded in
launching him i'm London society with re-
markablc success. lie has made the English
people believe that by showcring attentions
ON GRANT they val thrill the hearts of his
countrymcn. cement the alliance between
the two great Engi-h-spcaking nations,
create an era OF good feeling. bring about
free trade in this country. and cause all
Americans TO love all Englishmcn with the
ardor Of ncw-fDund affection. For accom-
plishing this. PIEhREpoNT deserves his rc-
ward Therefore, we put him ON the straight
Republican ticket for 1880 with ULYSSES ).

Our Double Standard of Value.

We have already suggested that, il we are
to continue the double standard in our COIN
age, we must do as We hay" always hitherto
done namely, preserve the relative equal
ity in value which has always existed
between the two metals OF which the
coinage has been composed. Coined gold
and silver must Ice kept at eQuiya-
lent values. The silver dollar must le
worth just the same as the gold dollar
II, In consequence OF the increased and in
rrcasing supply Of silver, the old dollar = Of
less value than formerly, or becomes 80. tie
fact must be recognized, and the coinage
must be adapted to the change II the old
dollar Of il2l grains comes to have a market
price OF only thrce-quarters or Soy IL
eighths of a gold dollar, then the silver coin
must he increased in size ai.d weight until 1t
Is as valuable as the gold. This equality is
positively essential in maintaining the
double standard. Othcrci-o. instead of
having q double or dual standard, We -AaN
have two standards: AMI such an anomaly
l. an atsurdity that 10 wholly out VI the
question.
We suppose nobody would propose to de-
base the gold coinage. as this would pro-
ducc incxtliculle confusion. The immense
discoveries oi th, metal ia California and
Australia haze already adlel vastly t. the
supply. and 10y increasing it, quantity, have
diminished lt- value. Tie gold dollar viii
