Judge Hale's Letter on Free Coinage

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:- A letter
appeared in your last issue from Judge
Hale, nicely written and, perhaps.
theoretically sound, if we could get all
the world 10 think so, but sthere is
where the rub comes IN. I'm the Ian
guaGe of II great statesman: at is not

deal with. The condition is that
most of the countries with which We
have the most important business re-
lationS, refuse to take s.the dollar of

his theory may he correct, owing to
..condition," silver can never be equal
to gold until there is an international
agreement to make it so.
Happy marriages have been effected
through the agency of advertising.
Many people i'll this country think it is
Il big thing ''to 90 abroad" for valuable
articles. There are such institutions
rs Marriage Agencies both in this
country and Europe.
SupposIng an eligible man for mat
rimcny should advertise in London,
Paris, Berlin or Vienna, for a suitable
female partner, offering 81, 900 to the
agent for desirable partner. The lady
arrives in New York, directed to an
agent, with bill from the consignor
for 81 900. The intended husband who
had been paid in silver dollars for his
services, would have to take with him
about l2OO of them to satisfy the demand
of the agent of the London or Berlin
provider. No better illustration of this
question can he given than the writer IS
| own experience who was living in Can
ada before and during the late war.
Americans came over and purchased
immense quantities of wheat, hogs, cat

remanufactured-ground up TO make

of 20 per cent on it, and bankers would
only take so on any one payment
The writer was doing large drag bus.
mess at the time, and of course paid fol
goods in silver. We paid hundreds ot
times from one to five dollars day
discount.
There is lots of money in this countr,
but 1t has to be purchased. If Mr.
McGrew would erect a building 100N20'

that is regulated by the Liverpool
Mark Lane and London markets.
The silver question is of small in
portance except to western miners, an

capitalists would let it alone.
The high protective tariff is a thor
sand times greater injustice to TIL
great majority of the American peOpl
than the present silver law. If pol
ticians and capitalists had allowed tn

been no more trouble on the silve
question. Il. TRoTTER.

FROM KEY TO THRONE.
How Il Telegraph Operator Became
King of SegOn.

A sudden favorable turn of forum
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in
dividual from his habitual occupations.
This more or less wise saw is applica-
bic to the cause of the present King Of
Segon, who was put on the throne of
his black kingdom by Col. Archinard
when his royal predecessor, Ahmardou,
took to flight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is
native of the country over which he at
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of telegraphs at Senegal. Be
fore accepting his regal state he made
it Il condition that his name should
continue to be inscribed on the list of
telegraph servitors, and that his situa-
ton of King should be considered as
subservient to that of his original en-
ployment
Nlademba must have learned, either
by instinct or from acute observation,
that the lot of monarch is less certain
in these days than the position of an
officer in the service of the "Postes ct
Telegraphes,n and so preferred to
keep in reserve what might one day
prove to be II happy issue of all his
aifiictions.
He has, no Goubt, constantly one
eye on his throne and the other one of
memory on the Office of his former
telegraphic exploits. Should the fu-
ture bring about for Mademba that
change which is in the modern order
of things, he may return to the tick
tick of his former days, with the
right to add to his title of preference
that of '.ex-King of Segon.''
Politeness in telegraph offices, al
though once seriously complained of
by NJ. Guy de Maupassant, is generally
the rule, even with the ordinary en-
ployes; but should Mademba /. of
Segon ever return to his Senegalian
bureau, his clients may expect to be
treated i'll right royal fashion by a man
who never lost sight of business, even
when promoted to the honors of az
African throne.
