OUR SILVER DOLLAR.
The Percentage OF Alloy In Our Standard
Coina.

The weight of pure silver in our
silver dollar has never been decreased
particle; it always has contained
three hundred and seventy-one and
one quarter grains of pure silver. In
1887, in order to adopt the handy
French decimal system of alloy. we
put exactly one pound less copper in
two thousand dollars. Thus, when you
hear anyone speak of the debasement
of the United States silver dollar, re-
member that all we have to ask for
giveness for is this trifie, which is al
lowed by the constitution of the United
States. The sin of debasement, if one
can call it n debasement, was commit
ted in 1884 on our gold coins, bv reduc
ing them about six and one quarter per
cent Had they reduced the gold coin
only half as much it would have been
an act strongly indorsed to-day, but
now unw!se to adopt. In 1887. min
ute fraction of gold was added to the
weight of the coin for convenience in
mint calculations. These two, the
gold dollar of twenty-five and eight
tenths and the silver dollar of 4l2.5
grains of standard metal, meaning
that each thousand parts of coin were
alloyed with one hundred parts of cop
per, were the basis dollars on which
the government was conducted from
1897 to 1878. The issue of greenbaclls
did not disturb these coined dollars.
These were the legal coins our laws
referred to in the issue of all national
bonds sold during our war of secession.
These were the coined dollars which
we promised to pay in the redemption
of our greenbacks. In 1869. in an act
passed to strengthen our public credit,
we find this clause: The United
States solemnly pledges its faith to
make provision at the earliest prac-
ticable period for the redemption of
United States notes in coin" In all
these laws the word gold is not used,
but it is always coin. We kept coin
ing these silver dollars, to limited
extent, all through the war, although
the silver in them was worth nearly
four per cent more than the gold in
the gold dollar. In 1S7l-T3 we coined
more than two and half millions of
these silver dollars, each of which con-
siderably exceeded the gold dollar in
value.-John A. Grier, in Lippincotts

ENGLISH engineers who have watched
the gradual development of the speed
of railway trains in this country be-
lieve that tine limit with the present
rails and rolling stock has nearly been
reached. They say that as matters
stand it would seem that it is easier to
construct motive power which will
propel, or rather drag, vehicles at a
startling pace than to design vehicles
that will keep on the track or be unin-
jured by the heat generated, but it is
quite possible that some form of rail
and wheel may yet be designed which
will permit of higher rate of speed
than has been achieved yet.

ALAsKA's gold products are constant
ly growing more numerous, and re-
ports from the gold fields are of the
most encouraging nature. True, the
adventurous miners must brave dan
gers and har'lships in order to reach
the remote mining regions, but their
reward is gold, and for gold men will
risk their lives and even their souls.
With gold as their reward thousands of
prospectors will settle in Alaska, and
the precious metal may make Alaska
as popular in 81 as it did California in
40
