Mr.. Harter of Ohio has received the
following letter, which he allows the
New York Eeening Post to publish:
WILLIAMS COLLEGE, Dec 81 1s92-My
Dear SU-As political economist by pro-
fession. and having taught the same in
this college for 40 years, and as citizen OF =
the United States Jealous of the nationa
honor and credit, express to you for o.
use you may choose to make of II my DR.
fear and constant dread that the ma
will lose its standard of value, andlh y
to another not fit to be had, in conse III
of the insane legislation which CO s
the Treasury to make monthly purel, FL
to an enormous amount of tangible col
modify, for which there is relatively n
other demand in this or any other country.
"lt is universal law of political econ
omy that no two commodities having diff
fering costs of production and varying IN
tensities of demand can ever be kept in
steady ratio of purchasing power one TO
the other. Legislation has proved itself
puwerless hundred times to override this
economic law. The present national law
relating to silver bullion is only the last
link in the long chain of such demonstra-
tons. The only rational thing to do with
the so-called Sherman law is instantly to
repeal it. Every days delay is a danger.
BY holding OH to it so long against reason
and common sense the country has
already lost the confidence of the finan-
cial world. The unwonted export of
gold at this season Is caused by moth
Ing else than the throwing back upon
the American market of foreign held
American securities, which must, Of
course, be paid for, and gold is the only
coming lily equally available as such pay.
Why IL foreigners to this extent unload
ing securities upon us, which are other
wise acceptable to them? Because they
fear, and have reason to fear, that if they
delay, the securities will be paid, interest
and principal. in silver money, made legal
tender for all debts, public and private.
The only possible way for the United
States as a nation to regain for themselves
decent confidence in the monetary
centres of the world, is to erase from their
statute misunderstanding not vestige-the
suicidal and every way abominable law
compelling purchases of silver bullion.

A recess was here taken to examine the
plans and specifications for No. . school.
Samuel IL. Baynard, of the committee APP
pointed to consider aud report on the pro-
pricty Of providing new school house as
a substitute for the old No. 9 school, re-
ported having attended to that duty, and
recommended that Il new school house be
erected on the lot now occupied by the old
school house.
The committee further recommended
that the new building be three stories in
height. and that the upper story of the
building be fitted up for meeting-room
for the Board of Education.
In reference to the lot on Monroe street
between Fifth and Sixth, the purchase Of
which had been suggested to the board,
the committee reported that the purchase
of it is inexpedient Because Of its prox-
unity to other schools. The report was
adopted and the matter postponed until
the next regular meeting.
In the matter of improvement at No. 6
school, Dr. Morgan reported that several
alterations were needed in this building.
The committee recommended the placing
OF new desks in the two higher rooms and
new floor in the entry; also two iron
gates at the entrance to the yard and a new
roof on the building The matter went
over until the next meeting.
DIR. Morgan, of the committee appointed
to purchase lot in the northeastern part
of the city for the purpose Of erecting a
new primary school, stated that he had
met Superintendent Harlan since the last
meeting and they had come to the con
clusion that u grammar school instead OF
primary school would be more feasible
in the vicinity. Superintendent Harlan
was asked to make statement and said
that No. 8 might be utilized as the addi.
tiOnal primary school and that by all
means, the grammar school should be
erected.
). Il. Smith was in accord with this view
OF the matter. He did not think it ad,
yisable to expend $4,000 or 5000 in that
part OF the city injudiciousy. He thought
! grammar school soon would be needed
in that locality.
