TOLEDO, August 27th.-The po.
litical campaign in Northwestern
Ohio was last night opened on ths
part of Republicans by Secretary
Sherman, who addressed largely
attended meeting at Wheeler's
Opera House. He devoted himself
mainly to the consideration of the
financial question. During his
speech he read a letter from a cor
respondent of the Cincinnati En-
Quirer, in which the fol-
lowing questions were asked about
the trade dellar:
What is the matter with the
trade dollar? I expect you to say
1t is not legal tender; nor Is it for
90 cents. Second-Did the govern
ment receive dollar for dollar when
she put the trade dollar out?
Third-Did the person on receiving
the trade dollar from the govern
ment do SO with the understa nding
that he had to take it to China to
spend it? If anybody is to blame
who is it?
Secretary Sherman said the trade
dollar was not legal tender, but
1t Is worth 80 cents as bullion. The
standard dollar is legal tender,
and therefore worth par. That is
the difference. The second question
he answered by stating that the
government did not receive dollar
for dollar for the trade dollar, but
received eleven and q half cents for
coinage on each dollar from private
bullion owners. That was all it
was. The government was the
miller that ground the grist for
small percentage. To the third
question he replied that the bullion
owner did receive the trade dollar
for expectation to China-a device
made to give him a market for his
bullion and upon the fall of silver
twas perverted by him as means
of cheating our own people.
