OUR SILVER DOLLARS.

: A correspondent asks how many silver
dollars have been coined under the act of
February, 1873, and how many under the
act Of JuIy, 1890. Also the number of dol
lars in actual circulation, the number against
which certificates have been issued and the
number lying idle in the Treasury.
Under the act of February 2Sth, COM
monty known as the Bland act, 1878. 166, 1888
was coined. OF this SUN SOS, 22j, $50 is bodily
in circulation. S3lS GIL, 097 is in the Treas
ury, and against it certificates have been
issued, and there is SIS. S63, 1872 in the Treas
ury against which no certificates have been
drawn. II appears, therefore, that of this
large coinage but little over three millions
are idle. The coinage under the act of July
Il, 1890 had reached the sum Of 81, 291, 1866
when the Secretary of the Treasury decided
that under the law coinage of the silver
purchased is not necessary. The treasury
notes issued in payment of silver bullion are
Tedeemable in coin, but at last accounts none
had been presented for redemption. The
full amount of S27, 291, 800 therefore remains
in the Treasury. There is in the Treasury
cash S7,095, go in silver certificates, which
makes the number Of silver dollars of the
coinage OF 1873 not actually in circulation,
either in coin or cert fcates, S10,958922. 1t
appears, therefore, that in round numbers
S4O5. ass, 155 in silver dollars has been coined
since 1878, of which all but about $40 00O, 600
is in circulation in coin. certificates OF
treasury notes. The coinage OF silver has
added 1896. 100000 to our metallic money
For every dollar of paper currency in eircu-
lation against this coin there is a dollar
of coin or dollars worth of bullion back
of it. In the coming year, if there is no
change in the law, the Treasury will buy at
least S55, 100000 worth of silver and issue
treasury notes against it,

party remains to be seen. In several OF the
Northwestern States Republicans voted the
Alliance ticket last year in the belief that
the party they were forming would become
national party. On choice between the
old parties they would still BIZ Republican.
They did not at the time regard the Ali-
ance movement as diversion on the part
of Democratic leaders to draw voters in the
Northwestern States from the Republican
party. How will these Republicans receive
the news that the Alliance men in the South
stand together with the Democrats? The
Presidential battle in 1892, as in every
Presidential year since 1876, will be fought
in the North. The South will be conceded
to the Democrats. The Alliance will never
be permitted to become sufficiently formida-
BILE to endanger the electoral vote of a single
Southern State. The hope of Democratic
success lies not in carrying the Southern
States but in winning three or four North
ern States which have been counted on the
Republican side. Not being a Bile to win
them to the Democratic organization, an
effort was made to take them to the third
party and thus so reduce the Republican
vote that Democratic plurality would ap-
pear in several Republican States. There
is much reason to believe that the race
question will prevent any large number of
white voters in certain of the Southern
States from acting with any other organic
alton than the Democratic. For reasons
sufficient for them the Southern whites be-
lieve that white supremacy depends upon
the maintenance OF the Democratic party in
mower

THE POTATO GLUT.

The condition of the potato market is
curious example of the eccentric fluctuations
of trade. The early Californian got his po-
tatoes from South America, chiefly Chile.
Only four or five years ago this city was
partially dependent upon Utah for its sup
ply Of the ;uber. The best potatoes sold in
the markets were grown in the vicinity of
Salt Lake City. Ten years ago the average
price of potatoes in San Francisco was
about 1 y cents pound, or 81 90 GENITAL.
At this price potato-growing was one of the
most profitable forms of agriculture in
which farmer could engage, and, as 300
bushels are frequently dug from a single
acre of land. the crop became large, and the
price fell to q of cent and even y of a cent
per pound. Then people stopped planting
potatoes, and San Francisco was again COM
PEELED to import from outside. During the
first SIX months OF 1889, 269.911 centals of
potatoes were brought III by rail from
points outside OF the State. The price natu-
rally rose to the highest figures of the old
times.
This started the farmers once more, and
moist lands on the shores and the Islands of
the Sacramento River were again planted in
potatoes. The season has been favorable,
and crop has been raised which is beyond
the capacity of the Coast TO consume or to
export. Our average receipts at this point
are about 5000 sacks per day, and this guam
tity we can handle; but we are now and
have been for some time receiving an aver
age of 10000 sacks per day. In consequence
potatoes are selling at 40 cents sack,
say q of "a cent pound, and charitable insti-
tutiOns have been offered gratis all the pota-
toes they need for immediate consumption.
This is notwithstanding an export of 175, 900
sacks from California to Eastern points dur
ing the month of June.
Next to flour the potato is the commoDest
article of vegetable food used in this country,
but it is lar from being as nutritious as its
general consumption would imply Its
value arises from the starch it contains.
The ordinary potato contains Is per cent of
starch and 10 per cent of water, leaving
only per cent for heterogeneous matter,
sugar and fat. Hence people who live
wholly on potatoes without a due admix-
ture of meat or milk cannot be healthy
long time In the diet of the people of Ire
land the potato figures largely, but it is con-
snmed III conjunction with milk and butter
milk, the latter of which contains some
thing like l. per cent of fat, casein and
sugar. 1t is inferior in nutritive proper
ties TO wheat or corn, and is not as valuable
as some other vegetables which are less
popular. Still, our race will probably go on
eating potatoes so long as they can get
them. 1t was very difficult to introduce
them to the European aud North American
dinner-table, but now they have got there
they are there to stay.

noon at 325 Montgomery street
A sick woman, not an incurable, applied
for help who had been turned out of the
City and County Hospital. She was not
subject for the Almshouse. as work could
be procured for her, but she would need
further medical attention before she would
be physically able to perform it. As she
had neither money nor friends the Daugh-
ters will provide for her until they obtain
admittance for her in some hospital
The Board of Health was congratulated
on following their suggestion as to estab-
fishing training-schcol for nurses in con-
nection with the City and County Hospital.

AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER,

English authors have held kind of high
jinks in commemoration of tie birth of an
American law which gives British authors
about the same right to their works in the
United States that the American author
possesses. One condition is that British
authors shall not print books in England
and send them to the United States for sale.
British printers do not like this condition
They hold that if English authors may do
their part of producing books for the Amer
lean public the printers and pressmen ought
to have share in the bust ness. That the
new arrangement will work we'll for British
authors of established reputation is quite
probable. Such Of these writers as have
had a following in the United States under
the old law, when their books were often
printed without recognition of the writer,
will row receive such royalties as NAV
he agreed upon. The contract between the
American publisher and the British writer
will give the former exclusive rights. Under
the new law the cheap editions of popular
English authors, which sold by the hundred
thousand copies, will be unknown. The
publisher will be guided in fixing the price
OF the American edition of a foreign work
by what he thinks he can get He will
probably initiate the railroad policy of
charging all the traffic will bear. The
young English author whose reputation is
yet TO be made does not so clearly profit by
the new law. American publishers who
might reprint his works on chances, trusting
TO cbeapness to obtain large sales, will not
see their way so clearly to contract with an
obscure writer to secure exclusive rights for
a work that may not sell at all. The cheap
edition will be impossible and large sales
improbable. One of the greatest services
that publisher can do young author is to
introduce him to the public. If the pub
Usher stands the cash outlay the author can
furnish the manuscript. If there is no
money result of the first venture the way is
open for second. English authors have
sold advance sheets TO American publishers
for large sums on the strength of a popular
ity the cheap reprint had created.

Final Judgment Against the 4Etna Life


Final dgment Against the .Etna Life In-
surance Company.
The Supreme Court of this State has rem
dered decision against the -Ktna Lille In
surance Company of Hartford, Conn, by
which the company will be compelled to
pay the plaintiff nearly $4,000.
In 1879, Curtiss, the plaintiff, through
Charles F. Hanlon, his attorney, COM
menced suit against the company to recover
the sum of $4,000 on a policy which had
been issued in favor of his mother on the
life of one A. w. Tucker of Woodland. Mrs.
Curtiss afterward assigned to the plaintiff,
and the insurance company, on fuckers
death, refused to pay the money, claiming
that the interest that Mrs. Curtiss had in
the life of Tucker was not of such nature
as to be insnrable. and also that the action
was barred by the statute of limitations
The case was before Judge Finn and a jury
in 1883 and verdict given for plaintiff for
the full amount with costs.
The ground of appeal was chiefly that the
Court mad erred il instructing the jury, but
higher tribunal thought otherwise and af-
hrmed the lower court The opinion covers
nine pages and sustans all the points made
by Mr.. Hanlon, and settles many questions
of life insurance law not heretofore passed
upon by our Supreme Court
