There are occasions when the peacemaker
can suspend his functions with benefit to So
ciety-as, for instance, when a Tammany
Police Justice and Tammany Legislator en-
gage in active hOstilities. What might have
been a Kilkenny combat of this sort was
actually prevented the other day, it seems,
by benevolent but misguided interference.
Hereafter. when two shOrt-hair politicians are
rushing toward each other with fearful and
destroying force, the good citizen should stand
severely TO one side.

Liberal case in the debate which begins to-

questionably that the British Government

willing to accept almost its own terms.

Jackson. Jutg IS, 1878
EDITORS CLARION: Their. have been a
sood many ing liri-s as to the eanse OF the
appreciation OF Mexican silver dollars. which
are now worth in the market only ninety
cents Many of your readers will remem-
Der that in olden time they were worth a
small premium over gold. and when il i
admitted that they contain as much and as
pure SILVER now as then, it appears to be
one OF the strange things in finance.
one reason Is found in the fact that some
months ago Germany remonctized its cir
cuiatlng medium into gold coin, thus de-
mohetlZing its silver and throwing i'm
mehse volumes of that metal on the bullion
centres. In former times when Germany
maintained the silver Standard the Asiatic
market was chiefly supplied with silver
from Mexico, which Caused the Mexican
dollars to command a premium even over
gold. Besides this We NJ nsC take into ac-
count the Immensely increased production
OF silver bullion in the nited States during
the past few years, amounting now to many
nlillons per annnm. Under these circum-
stances the last Congress passes the Silver
Bill, free coinage is abolished in this coun-
try and the United States miuts are run
exclusively on Government account to coin
the new standard dollar. Under the opera
ton of the present law the Mexican dollar
cannot be taken to the mint and sold on the
oasis of its exchangeable value ounce Tor
ounce, less coinage expenses, but it must be
sold on the basis OF bullion at the cur
rent rate of crude silver in the market
London, tue silver centre as well as the
cotton centre of the world. quotes silver at
the present time at the low price of 521a
pence. Hence the low price of the Mexi-
can dollar
From the time the decline first began
there have been hundreds OF thousands OF
these Mexican dollars shipped out from
New Orleans and other CONNIE cial cities
INTO the interior upon speculation, and the
recent decline of some three per cent. was
caused by returning tide of this coin back
to the commercial centres. HOLDERS did not
find in them the bonanza looked for and
wanted to realize.
1t Is curious and | may say ridiculous
thing in the opera ton of the silver law that
an American dollar of 4l2 grains is a legal
tender and worth gold while the trade dol
lar bearing the i'm PREMATURE of the same
government, and containing 42O grains is not
receivable for duties and is sold at dis
count, and the old standard Mexican dollar
containing 4l712 grains is only worth nine
ty cents. And more odd still that two old
American halves or four quarters, contain
ing 3S5 grains silver, pass current along with
the paper dollar of the L. ). Urea sury.
