Congress has not been judicious in its
regulation of the amount of gold TO be put
into the gold dollar and other gold coins.
The ratio of weights established by Eng
land in the coinage of India is to IS.
The ratio maintained by France, not only
for itself but for all Europe, is to 15l31.
Thus the fact appears that we make our
gold dollar and other gold coins worth
sixteen times their weight in SILVER CONS of
equivalent value; or more than either
France requires for Europe or England
for India. Therefore, those good souls
amongst us who desire to reform our cur
rency by having more silver put into the
American dollar. labor under benevolent
deluslon. The trouble is not that the silver
dollar has too much silver, but that the
gold dollar, pitiably diminutlve as it ia,
has more gold in il than 1t ought TO have
namely too much by one-thirty-frst COM
pared with the gold coins of Europe; and
too much by one-fifteenth compared with
the gold coins Of Anglo-India.
THE coSsrIruTIosAL RIGHT OF FREE COINAGE.
For ninety years C7ss to 1879 after the
treaty of American Independence the right
of every man 10 take his silver and gold
ores OF bars to the national mints for coin
age into money existed. This right of free
coinage was never denied to the owners of
silver metal until the passage OF the "act
for revising and amending the laws relative
To the mints. assay offices. and coinage of
the United States" approved on the 18th
of February, is73-an act devised by the
chief officers Of the MINT. and passed by
Congress Just at the time when England
and Germany were making common cause
in promoting the scheme Of dear money
by demonetizing silver. Nor was tho legal
tender quality Of the American silver dol
lar ever taken away or limited until the
adoption of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, IN June, 1884.

fact, so far as the writer knows. they are the
only letters ever written in the midst OF hos
Utilities by great general TO his daughter.
We have the brief letters OF Napoleon to o"
sephine but there is nothing at all resembling
the Sherman letters to be found in the litera-
ture Of war. They not only throw new light
upon the character Of the great man him
sell, but upon the operations then in process
Of being carried out The second and last
paper, which appears in the December Cos
mopolitan, is unique in another respect, that
ii is illustrated by man who SAT at Sher'
mans mess table during the campaigns OF
which he writes to his daughter This most
famous Of war artists, Theodore X. Davis, is
still alive, and supplements the Sherman let
tiers by very interesting paper OF his Own
and great number of sketches which he
made at the time. Perhaps the article in the
December number which will be read with
the widest interest is that on Rapid Transit,
by Capt. Lewis NJ. Hsupt which is illustrat-
ed by every conceivable suggestion that has
been made upon rapid transit. Mrs. Burton
