MUSICAL NOTES.

We have received from Schirmer several
snecimeps OF the latest issues OF the standard musical
publications the famous Leipzig house OF C. T. Peters,
including all the pianOforte compositions OF Mendelssohn
One volume of which there two editions, differing
somewhat in elegance of form) is devoted 10 the songs
without words and volumes contain the misceaii-
eous pianoforte works. These three volumes are fin
rered by Kulak. There is also arrangement OF the
pianc-orc cOncertOs for piano SOLO by T. A. RoitzscD
n four hand arran cement OF the symphonies, III TWO
volumes; and fOurhaud arrangement OF the Over!ucs
in one volume. The Peters editions gre gtnerdliH es-

TIE SILVER COINS OF FRANCE.

To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: In an editorial article IN Mondays TRIB-
USE the silver coins OF France The TRIBUNE says
that the legal tender silver OF France under the French
system OF vauing silver, which holds that fifteen and
oebalf OF silver equal to Of gold,
i, worth Per than the dollar under the Bland
Bill which holds that of silver equal
one of gold. THIS Gust be an iuadverelce THE

Mahonag National Bank. Toungsto,rn, o., Jan. 30. rs
(ins,rer.-THE TRrBUNE'S statement was correct
but perhaps might have been more clearly expressed
The point to it was that the French under their sys-
TEN of coinage value silver higher proportonately
than We do. There are two ways of looking at the
relative value of coins in different countries. If
gold Is the standard as in TACT it il in the larger
operations OF commerce, the l-1Gth of one ounce in
value of gold in American coins is less in quantity
but equal in value to the 1-Ijl2 of an ounce IN
French CONS But if silver is the standard. rs it is
not anywhere in the Western world, the fact that
the 4l22 grains in the American dollar exceed tho
400 grains in French coin OF the same nominal
value proves that the American coin has the greater
intrinsic worth. As TO reldtire value OF tho two
motals there can be no dispute the French coinage
gives the higher relative valuation to silver. But
rs TO absolute or intrinsic value Of silver coin Of
certain nominal value, the American com is worth
the more because it contains the greater number of
grains. We underyalue silver, IN comparison with
France which holds 100 grains in coin worth as
much as we hold il2l2 grains to be worth. Or TO
put the whole thing in nutshell. there is more
silver proportionately in American than in French
COIN and consequently American coin has greater
intrinsic wOrth.-EdI

NINETY-TWO CENT DOLLARS
SILyER'S LATEST PHASES.

DIR. LINDERMAN IN Favor OF 42o-GRAiS DOL
LAi;-Too MUCH SILVER IN NHw-YoRK CITY
TRADE DOLLAR COINAGE.
DR.. Linderman, Director of the Mint, has
explained his views IN reference to the effect
of the Bland bill to a correspondent OF IIE
TRIBUNE. He favors dollar OF 40
grains, and an international silver con-
ference, and says that the 92-cent dollar OF the
Bland bill would drive gold out of the coun-
try. He thinks the $200,0O0,OO0 of gold IN
this country can be and ought to be brought
INTO circulation. Annoyance is experienced
by banks and merchants in New-YOrk CITY
from the excess of silver here 1t is thought
the Bland bill may be disposed of in the Sen
ate this week. Several amendments will be
offered, however, in addition to the eight now
pending. Trade dollars are to be coined now
only for export.
