SILVER IN 1873.

Another of our free silver friends comes
at us with a citation from the figures of
the mint to show that prior to the demone-
tization act of 1873 silver dollars were
coined at the rate of about one million per
year. 1t is true that there were some
silver dollars coined for use in the Oriental
trade, and the trade dollars were at about
that time authorized, as being more useful
for that purpose But these silver dollars
were not coined for circulation in this
country as money, and our correspondent
furnishes the evidence of that fact him.
self
He cites the figures showing that the
bullion in the silver dollar was then worth
103 cents. Aman, therefore, getting 81, 900
coined for circulation in thi5 country
would lose just $780, as compared with
what he would realize if he had sold the
bullion for use in the arts, or used the
coin in the trade with China, where it
passed at its bullion value. The same
fact utterly explodes the idea that the
demonstration of silver was secured by
the monetary classes. The interest of the
creditor class is to maintain the highest
priced dollar But the highest priced
dollar in 1873 was demonetized and the
lowest priced one maintained.
The subsequent reversal of these posi-
tions warrants decided doubt as to the
wisdom of that act But the fact stated
by our correspondent entirely answers the
wild charge of "a conspiracy of the
money lenders in 1873"

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN

The review of the Ohio situation from a
correspondent who has been carefully
studying the campaign shows that the
weight of the battle is still to come. Here
tofore the Republicans have done all the
campaigning, while the Democrats have
Just commenced their fight. This un-
doubtedly gives the Republicans start in
the race which the Democrats will find it
hard to overcome. But that will not pre-
vent it from being very interesting and
lively one till the day of election.
Of the issues at stake our correspondent
finds that the Peoples Party issues are not
cutting any figure in the canvass, nor are
State issues heard Of The fight is on Ma
tional issues, with the silver question
making more noise in the Republican
speeches, while the Democrats are very
largely shirking the avowal of their own
platform in favor of free silver. This is
one of the results of that stupid effort of
the Democratic platform-makers; but it
does not change the fact that the real lead
ing issue is that of the tariff. With Nc
Kinley as the Republican candidate and
the lines sharply drawn between the two
parties on that question the controlling
issue is bound to be the tariff. and favor
able.vote will place Ohio definitely on the
side of giving the Mckinley act fair and
thorough trial.
Our correspondent finds that very little
outside money is coming into Ohio in aid
of either side. This is hard on the thrifty
wire-puller; but it will not at all interfere
with the free discussion of the public
questions involved in the canvass or a
clear expression of the popular verdict.

A GREAT POLITICAL LEADER.

The sudden death of Charles Stewart

is one of the most remarkable careers in
English politics At the unexpected death
OF the man who for over decade has con-
trollcd the course of Irish politics. and
brought the cause of Ireland to its present
prominence, the mind relegates to a
secondary place the unhappy events which
marked the close of Parnell's career and
dwells chiefly on the characteristics of its
earlier stages which earned him the title
of "Uncrowned King of Ireland"
All svmpathizers with Ireland must re-
member that nearly fifteen years ago Mr..
Psrnpll perceived the results that could be
obtained by constitutional agitation for the
cause of ireland. He took up that policy
when he was able to muster hardly more
than a corporals guard of followers. He
maintained through good and evil reports,
and by his skill and SteadfastneSs sue
ccrded in rallying around him party of
enthusiastic workers whose efforts aided
in making the Irish cause the dominating
issue of British politics Many great poll
ticians have skillfuIly swayed the course of
events by making a despised cause the
slogan Of a majority. But Parnell was one
of the few statesmen who with following
less than the minority have controlled the
outcome of politics, and forced even ad-
verse events to result for the good of his
cause Throughout the long and uninter-
mitted fight from the beginning of Home
Rule to the final triumph over the Pigott

cause he had taken up, his unwavering
faith in its fina! success, and his careful
and Skilliul leadership of his steadily
growing party make up a career which
takes rank high in the records of popular
leadership
With this splendid record to contem-
plate there will be little disposition to
dwell on the unfortunate events in Par
ncll'S private life or the disputes growing
cut of it during the past year. That these
things terminated his public career and
perhaps hastened his death is to be recog-
nized. But, in estimating the place of
Charles Stewart Parnell in political his
tory, all men will consider the Parnell who
showed the Irish the way to obtain their
rights by constitutional agitation, and
who led them along that road until one
great English party has espoused their
cause, and the other has reached the point
of offering them large concessions as a
measure of political compromise.
That record of achievement entities
Parnell to foremost place among Irish
leaders. Only O'Connell accomplished as
much for Ireland as he; and all his pre-
deceSSorS in the Irish cause together never
brought it SO close to the point of final
and complete triumph.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

CHARLES DARGUE, Secretary of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters, has writ.
ten to Manager Davis, of the Alvin Theater,
asking him if Mr.. Willard would give a
ma tinee performance OF :The Middleman''
on Thursday of next week, and promising
that if such performance were given it
would be- attended by hundreds of potters
fro m Wheeling, East Liverpool, New Cum
berland, Beaver Falls, Kittanning and other
places. Mr.. Davis referred the matter to Mr..
Willard, and the latter's agent, Mr.. Kirke La
Shelle, said yesterday that some arrangement
to suit the potters visiting this city would be
made. In "The Middleman" plays Cyrus
Blenkdrn, q potter by trade, hence the anx-
iety of the potters in this neigborhood to see
him.
NEXT WEEK the first of the seasons novel
ties in the comic opera line is to visit the
Duquesne Theater. 1t is 1.-THE Tar and the
Tartar" which ran all summer long at
Digby Bell, Marion Manola, and very
strong company. The opera is a very bright
work beyond question, and Manager Harry
Askin has retained the strength of the old
McCaull organization If he has had to give
up the name.
"AuNT BRIDGET's BABY" is farce comedy,
but it is claimed for it that it possesses some
of the brightest specially features and a
generally wholesome tone. George Monroe
as Attnt Bridget is said to be very funny, and
Nellie Rosebud as sweet as her name in the
songs, dances and merriment of the "Baby."
1t is next weeks bill at the Bijou Theater
Mr.. WILLARD the actor who visits Pitts
burg for the Iirst time next week, is one of
England's greatest. There is a general

NO SOCIETY NEEDED.

A proposition has recently been set
afloat, from one of those sources prolific
with suggestions for people to magnify
their descent, to form Society of Sons of
Abolitionists. Touching t-the New York
Tribune saws: To hundreds of men and
women it is as lofty source of pride to
say that their fathers were Abolitionists
as TO say that their remOter ancestors
fought at Bunker Hill or came over in the
MayfiOwer 1t is fitting that such should
be enrolled In permanent organization
which, by its name and works, shall per-
petuate the memory of the Abolitionists. 3"
The theory of the proposed society pro-
pounded in the last sentence sounds very
nice; but it is subject TO two criticisms.
First, the memory of the Abolitionists is
perpetuated in the results of their work;
second, the nature of the proposed society
shows that it will not be so much to per-
Tsiaate their memory as to signalize the
fact that ifs members are descended from
them.
On such a project two statements con-

She Is Not as Friendly to Us as Germany

New York Press.l
According to the well-founded saying that
actions speak louder than words Germany
to-day ought to stand much better than
France with the American people. Thanks
largely to the devoted efforts of Minister
Phelps, the embargo on American pork has
been removed, and that important product
of the West has access to the German mar
kets on the same terms as pork from other
favored countries. France, on the other
hand remains closed to the great American
staple. While pouring her wines and
brandy much of which is adulterated, into
the markets of this Republic, she rejects the
healthy food which we offer in exchange.
Under one prete1t or another the admission
of American pork is put off until patience
may well cease to be a virtue at Washing
ton.
The Mckinley law has placed in the hands
of the President of the United States q
weapon of retaliation against such countries
a. discriminate against American products.
1t is q weapon meant for use, and no man is
better qualified than President Harrison to
use it effectively and wisely. Unless the
French Senate, which convenes this month,
takes action looking to the removal of the
prohibition on American pork it may be
we'll for the President to put in force against
France the laws retaliatory clause. 1t is
not the first time that France has compelled
this country to radical measures of self de-
fense, and the French republic should be

cerning the Abolitionists and their char
acter are pertinent They were exception
ally of that class which believes that man
should be ranked by what he does and in
no manner with regard to whom he was
descended from. This fact makes it cogent
that, if any society were formed the
Abolitionists should form their own society.
But that makes it even more pertinent to
point out the fact that they did have their
own society-when there was something to
do through it. The Abolition Society was
one of the agencies of agitation against
slavery; and, incomprehensible as it to the
son n's-society-organizers when its work was
done it dissolved The AbolitionistS thus
put themselves on record as believing that
organizing societies for practical work was
very good; that keeping them up for pur-
poses of self-glorification was silly.
If any memory should be free from the
efforts of those who seek to call attention
to the fact that they are the sons of their
fathers, the Abolitionist memory ought to
have that exemption. 1t is to be hoped
that their descendants will not take such
method of emphasizing the difference be-
tween themselves and their fathers.

Silver Demonstration.


To the Editor of The Dispatch:
You say editorially in your issue of the 3rd
inst: "Silver coinage was free prior to 1873.
Anyone wishing to have silver coined could
take bullion to the mint and get it done"
The statement thus far is true. You, how
ever, continue the statement further and
say: mo one did so for years prior to 1873 ~
have seen the same statement made in
other papers. If you will examine the re-
port of the director of the mint for 1886, page
21S, exhibits Xxx and XXI of the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treasury on
the state of the finances, you will find that
the statement is incorrect. Now for the
facts: There was coined of gold from 1873
to 1913 inclusive, S76;34l O50: from 1898 to 1852
inclusive there was coined of silver $40 209,
81 90 mostly fractions of the dollar, half
and quarter dollars. Until 1858 two half and
four quarter dollars had as much silver as
had one dollar. From 1907 to 1899 inclusive
there was but 1000 OF the dollar coins
minted, while there was coined of silver
nearly $75 600 000-half and quarter dollars
and dimes. From ls4o to 1873 there was not
year but what silver dollars were coined.
In 1873 there was of silver dollars coined ST.
lO9435, total of silver $3057, ,S47 80. In 1873 up
to the passage of the silver demonetiZaton
coined 1864 $50. At the time the 1873
act became II law the silver in the dollar
was worth l03 cents in gold. One ounce Of
silver was worth 81 90 $40 in London. 1t was
lowest Mt which it was quoted in London
from that date to 1873 inclusive. My figures
given as the prices of silver are taken from
the same report As the director OF the mint,
as we're the coinage figures. There was
nothing in the history of silver as money to
warrant its decentralization in 1873, or at any
other time. On the contrary, there was
every reason to warrant its continuance rs
money. In 1916 Great Britain passed an act
boycotting silver, yet not until the acts of
Germany in 1871 and 1873, framed after Great
Britain's act of 1916, was there any great
monetary disturbance. The boycotting act
of Great Britain was passed, as is quite evil
dent, in her interest growing out of her
trade with nations that had adopted silver
as their only legal tender. London to-day
buys the silver with which she pays her
India balances tor % cents an ounce from
the American markets, realizing from India,
who has silver as legal tender at 10 to l of
gold, 81 80 per ounce. Is it not fair to
conclude that Germany and the United
States have acted in the interest of Great
Britain by demonetizing silver?
