Free Coinage.

Free cOinsge' Is a technical phrase,
well understood in financial literature
but in popular language it is misused.
Technically. coinage is said to he free

Of all the bullion offered Unlimited
coinage has precisely the Sc me meaning
Hence the phase free and Unlimited
C image" in common use i, Pathological.
"Gratuitous" coinage is the popul. r
idea of the meaning of the term free
We had the gratuitous and unlimited
coinage of both metals at our mints from
1892 to 1853. We maintained the I'M
limited coiuege OF both metals up to
1873 but from 1858 to 1879 we charged
one half of one per cent. on each metal
The coinage of gold remained unlimited
from 1878 to 1875. but there was a
eoinage-charge of one-fifth of one
per cent. Since 1875. the coinage
of gold has been gratuitous and I'M
limited, while the coinage Of silver is
confined to that purchased by the gov
eminent hence the amount is limited
rhe coinage of silver now depends upon
the option of the secretary of the treas
ury when there is demand for the
redemption of the silver treasury notes
As these notes are preferred to coin, the
coinage is stopped but there is none

ounces per month in limited legal tender

The coinage of silver in India is not
gratuitous, as the tnints charge two per
cent but it is Unlimited From 1903 to
1874 the coinage of silver in France was
unlimited, yet the charge varied from
one aud half to three fourths of one per

Can a Woman Drive a Nail.

At the last meeting Of the Lady Man
ayers of the Columbian Exposition it
was voted that the president OF the
board, Mrs Potter Palmer, should drive
the last nail into the women's building.
Mrs. j. E. Richards, Montana's alert
and energetic member of the Ladies
Board. and wife of Lieut.. Gov Richards,
requested for Montana the honor OF
furnishing the nail, the same to be made
of silver from one Of the mines in the
state. A few days ago she received a
reply from Mrs Palmer accepting the
offer and gracefully thanking MRS Kick
ards for the kindnt SIS
Since then several of her friends have
suggested to Mrs. Richards the propriety
of having the nail made Of copper, silver
and gold, the three metals that have
made Montana the wealthy state 1t now
is. This suggestions have been accepted
ard nail appropriately shaped and en-
graved will be ordered and forwarded 70
Chicago as soon as completed, to be

afforded By the railroads bring these
Western products, raised on cheap lands,
in close competition with the farmers in
Ohio upon their high priced lands. The

American Apples abroad.

Circular Letter No : from j. C..

dated october l. they give the condition
of the foreign prices for American apples,

As the arrivals Of American and
Canadian apples are now of importance,
we have pleasure In recommending our
market reports, which we shall issue
from time to time. During the past
week the arrivals have been 30, 1S3 bar
rels, making the total arrivals for the
present season 7l,759 barrels, compared
with total up to same date last yesr of

It will thus be seen that the supply we
are now having is very much heavier,
and il is therefore only natural that
lower prices should he ruling than at
this season last year Tpto within the
past few DAYS most of the fruit has been
arriving in fair condition, but large
portion of the cargoes per Wyoming,

landed in very wasty state-in our
opinion largely caused by the warm
weather that ia reported to have ruled at
