Dollar Chances

Some of the Philadelphia newspapers
have been talking sad nonsense about the
trade dollar, notably the Times and the
North American. The Times does no
seem really to know what it thinks
about it or at least, it does not succeed
in making its idea apparent. The North
American, which assumes to ba the
business organ of Philadelphia, and TO
know all about financial things, is very
impatient with the stupidity which
would deny that the government would
lose the difference between the specie
and nominal value of the trade dollars,
if it exchanged them for the buzzard or
Bland dollars. 1t argues that as the mint
can buy the silver in a dollar for less
than dollar, it would lose money by
taking trade dollars in exchange for Its
coinage. So it would il it could buy the
silver it uses with the Bland dollars it
coins: but it does not. 1t coins two
million of silver month and lays up
most of it in its vaults. It cannot get
rid of it. Whereas if it took trade
dollars in exchange for the buzzard dol
lars that cannot get out Of the vaults in
any other way, it would at least make
the difference between the value of silver
in the trade dollar and the less amounu
of silver in the buzzard dollar, less the
cost of coinage which ought to lie plain
enough for anyone to SEE, even though
he does not claim to be an expert in
finance.

TIE best evidence of the reason able =
ness and justice of the Democratic
position at Harrisburg on the apportion-
ment question is to be found in the
disintegration of the Republicans on the
issue of standing up for the gerrymander
which the leaders of their party propose.
In the House Mr.. Lowery, of Indiana,
has declared that the Democracy are
fairly entitled to the bill they have
passed; and as he, alone Of his party,
voted for it, he was under tlerules given
its place on the conference committee.
In the Senate on Tuesday, Mr.. Cooper
made a fierce but Intellectual assault on
the administration for what he called
lobbying on the Senate floor Of cabinet
officers to get two Democratic senatorial
districts in Philadelphia, one for Sena-
toe Gordon, thu particular friend and
favO.ite of the administration. But the
abstract justice of giving the 1000 Dem
ocratic voters Of that city two dis
tricts, when the $4,000 Republicans will
have six, was so patent that the petu :
lance and impertinence Of Cooper were
lost even upon his own people and of
the Republicans Aull, Emery, Herr, Sill
and McCracken voted with the Demo
Gratis, and with the casting vote of
President Black 80 amended the bill as
to do something like justice to the Phil
alelphia Democracy. The harmOnized
Mr.. Stewart stuck bravely to Cooper
throughout the controversy, and since
he has abandoned even the moderately
fair cOngre ssiOnal apportionment which
he himself proposed in the regular ses
sion aud which the Dam ocrats accepted,
nothing but most ultra partisanship is
| pXpected from him.
