LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE BURDEN OF SILVER DOLLARS.


THURLOw WEED ADVISES SECRETARY FOLGER HOW
To RELIEVE THE sUB-IREAsURERs.
To the EdffOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: The Secretary Of the Treasury in his annual
report regarding the accumulation Of silver dollars
as burensome and embarrassing appeals to Congress
TO arrest their further coinage Two months OF the
session having elapsed without action upon the Sec
retary's appeal. venture TO suggest plan of re-
lief which does not seem 10 have occurred either 10
Secretary Folger or President Arthur. Fortunately
before the present Secretary was charged with the
Onefous custody Of silver dollars, much the largest
portion represented by silver certfc tes-thosa
certificates constituting essential element IN our
currency. If the Secretary will obey the Con-
situiOn and laws, tho Sub-TreasuTers VIII soon De
relieved. Silver and gold under our Constitution
and laws are the legal standards OF money. 1t Is
therefore, the duty of the cretary of the Treasury
10 pay the debts or the Government in the money
of the Government For the money required to pre-
serve the Government and the Union the borrower
offered. and the lender accepted, per cent bonds
payable interest and principal in coin. The rate OF
usance " was nominted in the bond " and indorsed
upon Its back The duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury, Therefore is not only PLAIN and slmpe,bu
imperative When be shall have discharged that
dnty there will be no more lamentations over the
millions of silver dollars under the burden OF Wmch
the SubTreas have been groaning. 1t Is tline
also that another class of citizens should be brought
to their senses Bankers refuse to receive silver
dollars III payment of debts. The validity oil such
Tefusals should be submitted to Judicial test, our
tribunals decide questions in accoriance with law
and in obedience TO the Constitution. The silver
dollar has been declared by law OF Congress
legal tender In the payment of debts. That law was
passed in obedience to provision of the Consttu-
ton which imposes upon Congress the duty or as
simating the relative yalfe of the precious metals.
Such Is the simple. solution of a gratmtously
vexed financial problem. When, therefore, the
Secretary OF the Treasury discharges his duty, and
aggrieved debtors appeal from the banks to the
courts, the business Of the country will run
smoothly through It's accus omed channels cherish
ing the Industries. developing the wealth and eX-

The most wonderful instrument OF
the magical orchestra is described in .
Hessisn legend, recorded by the Broth
ers Grimm. A man kills his brother
while they are out hunting, and buries
the corpse under the arch Of .
bridge. Years pass. One day . shep-
herd, crossing the bridge with his flock,
sees below . little white bone, shining
like ivory. He goes down, picks it up,
and csrves it into . mouthpiece for his
bagpipes. When he began to play, tho
mouthpiece, to his horror, began to sing
of its own accord: .'Oh, my dear shep-
herd! you are playing on one Of my
bones! my brother aessssinated me and
buried me under the bridge" The
shepherd, terrified, took his bsgpipes to
the King, who put the mouthpiece to
his lips, when strsightway the refrain
began: ''Oh, my dear King! you are
playing on one Of my bones; my broth
or sssassinated me and buried me nnder
the bridge" The King ordered all his
subjects to try in turn the bagpipes.
From mouth to mouth the instrument
passed to that Of the fractricide, and
then it sang: "Oh, my dear brother
you are playing on one of my bones; is
was you who assassinated mel" and the
King caused the murderer to be sxo.

Fishing in q Corn.flela.

In Colorado is ten-acre field, which
is no more nor less than a subterranean
lake covered with soil about eighteen
inches deep. On the soil is cultivated .
field of corn. which produces thirty
bushels to the acre. If any one will
take the trouble to dig hole the depth
of spade handle he will find it filled
with water. and by using hook and
line fish four or five inches long may bs
caught The fish have neither scales
nor eyes and are perch-like in shape.
The ground is black mari in nature,
and in all probability was at one time an
open body of water, on which accumu-
lated vegetable matter, which has been
increased from time to time, until now
it has . crust sufficiently strong and rich
to produce fine corn. although d it has to
be cultivated by hand. as it IS not strong
enough to bear the weight of horse.
While harvesting the hands catch
great strings of fish by making . hole
through the earth. A person rising on
his heel and coming down suddenly can
see the growing corn shake all around
him. ANY one having sufficient strength
to drive rail through the crust will find
on releasing it that it will disappear A.

Private Mad.HOuSes.

1t seems incredible, yet it is never
theless true, that all that is needed to
send person to q lunatic asylum in
England is the certificate of two physi-
clans alleging insanity. 1t has been
proved beyond all peradventure that
perfectly sane men and women have
been incarcerated in private lunatic asy-
lums, by relatives who found them disa-
greeable, or who wished to get pos
session of their property. It is true
there is royal commission empowered
to examine every case that is called to
their attention, but even this does not
protect sane person against involun-
tary imprisonment The purchased tes-
timony of two irresponsible doctors.
without any further examination, is all
that is needed. A Mr.. Elliot recently
escaped from private lunatic asylum
in England, and he succeeded in not
only proving himself sane, but that ,
number of persons in the same institu-
tion were Of perfectly sound minds

Webster.

When Webster failed. it was a moral
failure. Intellectually, he ranks among
the greatest men of his race or country.
His mind was not profoundly original.
nor did he have that unknown subtle
quality rarely met with among statesmen
or lawyers, but to be found in poets and
artists, which men have agreed to call
genius. We watch the feats of some
superb athlete, and all that he does is
impossible to us. far beyond our reach;
but we understand how everything is
done, and what muscles are needed.
We observe the performances of an
Eastern juggler; we see the results, We
appreciate the skill, but the secret Of
the trick escapes us. This is true also
of mental operations; it is the difference
between the mind of Shakespeare and
that of Pitt, q difference, not of degree.
but of kind Webster belongs to the
athletes. We can do nothing but sd-
mire achievements so far beyond our
grasp. and gaze with wonder upon \
development so powerful. so trained, SO
splendid. But we can understand it
all. both the mind and its operations.
1t is intellect raised to any power you
please, but it is still an intellect, form
and process with which we are familiar.
There is none of the battling sleight of
hand, the inexplicable intuitiOns of
genius Webster has been accused Of
appropriating the fruits of other mems
labors to his own uses and glory. This
is clfectly idle criticism. Webster
had the common quality of great
ness, a quick perception of the
value Of suggestions and thoughts
put forth by other men. and tho cspac-
ity to detect their value and use them;
making them bear fruit instead of re-
naming sterile in the hands of the dis
coverer. But after all is said. we come
back to the simple statement that he was
a very great man; Intellectually. one of
the greatest men of his age. He is one
of the chief figures of our history. and
his fame as lawyer, an orator and
statesman is part Of that history. There
he stands before us. grandly vividly.
with all his giories and all his failings.
The uppermost thought, IS we look at
him, is of his devotion to the Union.
and of the great work which he did in
strengthening and building up the ns-
tional sentiment. That sentiment, the
love of Webster's life, proved powerful
enough to save the Union in the hour
of supreme trial. There is no need. and
it would not be right, to overlook or to
forget his errors and failings. all the
more grievous because he was so gifted.
All men, even those who censure him
most severely, acknowledge his great
ness But it is not his fame which will
plead most strongly for him when his
faults are brought to the bar of history
to receive judg dgment. 1t will be the
thought of united country the ideal of
his hopes. the inspiration of the noblest
efforts of his intellect. which will lead
men to say, even while they condemn:
Forgive him. for he loved much. ~
