The Silver Question.


The voldme oc hard money in the
world bears close relation to the values of
property. The elimination of silver
money would be disaster from which
mankind could suffer more than
from war or pestilence. The relation of
the two metalsi is the great financial prob
lem of the age. How many ounces o!
silver shall be equal in value to an ounce
gold 1t is an arbitrary question. But
it cannot be decided by one nation alone.
England opposes silver money. France
makes fifteen ounces of silver equal
in value TO the coin produced by
one ounce of gold. In the United
States we magnify gold above the stand
ard prevalent in any other bi-metallic
nation and say that silver shall be to
gold rs sixteen to one.
The Monetary Conference, which has
been sitting at Paris for some time past,
composed Of representatives Of different
nations, although not agreeing on any
recommendation, has not been willing to
dissolve, but will meet in April next to
further deliberate on the great question.
On Friday last Mr.. Evarts, delegate from
the United States, read the declaration
of the French and American delegates in
the name of their Governments. This
was to the effect that the adoption of the
ratio of fifteen and half of silycrto one
of gold would accomplish the principal
object with less disturbance in the none
tary systems to be affected by it than any
other ratio.
The great principle Of bi.neta.ism is
automatic. 1t is only question whether
England shall play the pawnbrokcr and
prevent an international agreement rs 90
the relative value of the two metals. 1t
is to be hoped that an enlightened policy
will prevail in the end. None are in
terested in the single gold standard eX-
ccpt such as have debts due them. These
are as much interested in having the
quantity of gold in dollar doubled as
they are in abolishing silver money,
And one would be as rational and rs hon
est rs the other.
The declaration read by Mr.. Evarts
contains the following, which must be
regarded rs the attitude of the United
States, as well as of France, on the silver
question:
The establishment and maintenance or a
fixed relation Of value between SILVER and
gold would produce the most important
benefits TO the commerce the world A conycn.
ton entered into by an important group Of states,
by which they should agree 10 open their minls 10
the free aud unlimited coinage OF silver and gold
NJ a fixed proportion Of weight between the gold
and silver contained IN the monetary unit Of each
metal and with the full legal-tc tender faculty to
the money thus issued, would cause aud main.
tain stability In the relative value ot the two
metals suitable to the interests and fclUgcmculs
OF the commerce Of the world.

There were some newspapers of posi-

Nihilsm, factional intrigue, and political
crime. Unworthy, brutal suspicious were breathcd
against men who had been highly honored and
against whom the only crcumstantial evidence
was that they were not in accord with the Admin
istraton on certain matters ofpolicy This wildness
orcomncnt and accusation was confined to few
newspapers and was the outcome of a well. l.meant

But we are told that Guiteau was in
cited by the unmeasured denunciations of the

this that the liberty of criticism upon public

answer to this Is, that If mere angry defamation
had moved Guiteau, without regard to its sub.

been more fit, and worse, leveled against them

one occasion her letter paper was adorned
with the confederate motto, a snake entwined
around confederate flag, and the inscription,
| Don't tread on us, or we will bite" When Linz
coin replied to the missivo he sent back the motto
with "bite" erased and the word "bust" substi-
tuted. Broken down in health and bereavcd by
the loss of her father, who had died In the
