vert an ideality into substance. The
value Of dollar, and the only value ie
ever did or ever can honestly possess, 10
it's purchasing power. II a certain num-
ber OF gralns Of gold axe called dollar,
then as gold becomes scarce, az COM
pared to population, the purchasing
power Of the dollar becomes greater and
greater, with the ultimate result Of the
utter ruin Of the debtor and producing
classes. The result would be the same,
no matter how much paper money we
may have, il gold at It's present appreol-
sted value Is made the sole money Of &C
count and redemption. But with the
unit dollar, or money unit, stamped upon
paper, and kept at uniform per capita
circulation for ordinary purposes, with
an extraordinary or supplemental volume
TO move the crops, the purchasing
power Of money would remain uniform
and steady, and gold and silver might be
relegated to their proper sphere among
all other valuable commodities.
Mr.. Carlisle says, "ColnaRs adds moth
ing whatever to the intrinsic (Y) value Of
the metal" This Ia the first time during
the whole range Of the discussion OF the
silver question that have read OF heard
such a preposterous proposition. All
writer's concede the fact that coinage
privileges add very materially to the
value Of any metal. But enough, will
forbear. GEO. G. WARD.

From National Headquarters

To the Reform Press:
The st. Louis Post Dispatch Of Sep
tember 10 published what purported 70
be an interview with myself in regard TO
the position that our party ls going 70
take on the force bill and other matters.
want to say that that interview had no
existence except In the imagination OF
the reporter. The reporter was here, but
| did not give him single word. The
st. Louis Republic Of September 15 also
had long editorial in which they claim
that we shifted our position in regard 70
the Omaha platform. / want TO say that
every word Of 1t is falsehood.
At the meeting Of the executive com
mittee here on the 18th inst, the ques-
tion the st Louis Republic speaks Of
meyer came up. Not a word was men
toned In our meeting in regard to fed
eral interference and United States
marshalS and supervisors at the polls In
the south, nor at the meeting Of the
chsirmen Of the different state commit
tees was single word said by any one
on that question. Il is q tissue OF false
hood the way the 81. Louis daily press
has represented the executive committee
and the chalrmen Of the different state
committees. Some Of the chairmen Of
the state committees posslbly made an
expression Of their individual opinion,
but as far as the committee iS concerned
not single word was uttered that the
press announces, especially the 81. Louis
Republic. 1t is a fabrication out Of
whole cloth. 1 take this step to warn
our people on the outside against these
fRlSehoodS. H. f. TAUBENECK.

India. Mr.. Carlisle says: "Sixty-elgh
cents worth of silver and one dollar
worth of gold cannot both be Standard
Of value at the same time and place.
PsrSphrased-"SIl Of the commercial
value OF 6S cents and gold OF the
arbitrary legal value of one dollar cannot
both be dollar unless silver is remone
tized." Certainly not, But It has beer
pretty well established that the quantity
Of gold which the law says lS worth one
dollar, costs but 80 cents to produce
while many silver mines are shutting
down because they cannot produce 9712c
grains of silver for 68 cents. Why moi
reverse the operation for while and de-
monetize gold and make silver the so
called standard Of valueY"
But in the last paragraph Of that por
ton Of his letter which / have herein
before quoted, Mr.. Carlisle gives the
strongest evidence Of a lack Of knowledge
concerning monetary matters, unless in.
deed he is presuming upon the Ignorance
of those whom he expects to read his
letter. In the words, "or, secondly BY
an international agreement fixing com
mon ratio between silver and gold fol
coinage purposes" there ls tacIt and
implied admission that the law is able Ia
give to silver certain monetary value
and keep such value intact.
Mr.. Carlisle will, of course, reply that
he means such "common ratio" as Is
with the decreased value
Of SILVER. That 10 to say, that as the
commercial value Of one ounce of silver
ls but "a cents, there should be $40 grains
of silver put in the dollar instead Of

The schoDt Election.

J. B. Ladders has withdrawn from the
field as candidate for member of the
board of education, on the ticket with
IT. D. Folsom, and those who have been
insIrGueLtsl in preparing that ticket en-
deavored last evening to get J. W.
WEIGH to 60 on the ticket to fill the va
cancy, but that gentleman positively and
absolutely declines to be a candidate,
stating that he has not the time to de-
vote 10 the duties and cannot under any
circumstances consent to the use of his
name.
1t is understood that Frank Robbins
his consented to go on the ticket with
Mr.. Folsom.
TIE question has again arisen as to
who ther the law is valid which perr its
women to vote at school elections. The
circuit court at Nit. Vernon recently
ruled that the state law comforting such
elective franchise is invalid ard the case
is likely to be appealed to the supreme
court. The result will be avail ed with
great interest throughout the state, as at
many school elections already held,
large female vote has been polls
ed. How far the gentler sex will exercise
their legislative privilege in Rock Island
will be determined one week from 10,
day.
We have learned that objection has
been made to the reelection OF Capt. c.
W. Durham to the school board, on the
ground that business keeps him too much
away from home. The captain informs
US that he is obliged TO be away less than
three months of the school year and dur
ing that time he makes frequent visits to
Rock Island. He says that if he is not
n town when important Business is COM
ing up, the clerk his orders to telegraph
for him, and that he has made two trips
from St Paul, one from St. Louis and
one from Dubuque, solely to attend
board meetings.

also the NJ. A. course in English and
American history, a course which includes
the writing of essays as well as the
standing Of examinations.
Mr.. Miles seems 10 be under the i'm
preston that if a Bachelor Of Arts from
some other college were TO select the
schools of Modern Languages. English.
Chemistry and Biology, he would have a
very straight and easy road TO his mas
ter's degree. But let US see whether this
be so. Such a candidate would ave to
pass examination on the following eleven
courses: % b. A., French; 70 b. a, Ger
man; CD NJ. A., French; 20 NJ. A., Ger
man; 6) English Literatuns and Rhetoric,
C) Early English Including Anglo-SaXon).
ca General Chemistry, 90 Industrial
Chemistry. 90 Botany, QO Zoology. I'D
Comparative Anatomy. Unless / am much
mistaken, Mr.. Miles was not aware that
his candidates primrose path Of dalliance
was so thoTny as this, and I am persuaded
hat he will now revise his opinion that a
bachelor Of any little college could
traVerse this path In the space of two
years, at farthest." A brilliant bachelor
from a good college might perhaps ac-
cOmplish the task i'm two years, but an
ordinary bachelor from a %picayune col
lege would require three years at least
and probably four.
In conclusion let me ask Mr.. Miles a
question. 1 do not pretend to know
whether or not the faculty will admit
the bachelors of Emory and Henry Col
lege to the privilege Of applying for the
Umversity's NJ. A. degree; but, as 1 be-
lieve that Mr.. Miles was once a professor
at Emory and Henry, l would ask him to
tell the readers of The Times whether
he does not consider the educational
value of that colleges b. A.. degree equiv
alent to half the value of the same de-
gree given at the University? II he adj
mits that K is. then he must also admit
that the faculty. in eXcusing an Emory
and Henry graduate from half of the
University's b. a. courses. but from none
Of the n. \. courses, would not be in
the least c%heapening the masters degree.
