BY sticking together, and putting
into practice this maxim, ''withhold

due, when it is in thine hand" gave
John Slidcll and his friends long
lease Of political life.
Some years ago Judge Sam ID.
McEncry and his frieads held that
faithful are the wounds of n
friend but the kiss of an enemy
arc dcccitful," and by acting on
this line held full sway for years.
ia other words the fixed rule was to
give their friends every scrap Of po-
litical patronage by which course
they succeeded in rallying together
in solid phalanx an organization
that was II constant menace to an
unorganixcd majority. We have had
ample proof OF this allegation in the
past Every ,naslssiR their ranks
knew that if anySG is to DC

Facts Relative TO Coinage Not Gem
orally Known.

| F'ACIS EASAAtAVO ~ OOIAAko ANOS UOAA-
orally Known.
In reply to several questions pro-
pounded by HI. FL. Beck of this city
says the Reno Journal relative to the
coinage of silver and gold Superinten-
dent Hofer of the Carson Mint sends
the following:
"Free coinage" is a misnomer. It
should read "unlimited coinage"
AS I understand the bills of Senator
Stewart and Representative Bland in
asking for free coinage of silver, they
intend the Mint shall coin silver on
the same terms as it does gold.
The Act of April 2, 1892, establish
ed the Mint, also the money of account
and authorized a national coinage.
The ideal unit of the money of ac-
count was the dollar, divided into
dimes or tenths, cent or hundreds,
mills or thousands.
The money standard established by
this Act was gold and silver in the
ratio of relative valuation of l to 15.
The gold coins authorized to be
struck were the eagle, half-eagle and
quarter eagle, of the declared value of
$40, So and $2 30 respectively; silver
coins, dollar, half-dollar quarter-dol-
lar and dime; copper coins, cent and
half-cent.
The gold and silver coins were made
legal tender without limit, and indiv-
iduals had the right to have gold or
silver coined at the Mint without
charge.
The gold coins were to contain "a. rs
grains of pure gold to the dollar, and
the silver coins 375.25 grains pure
silver to the dollar.
These standards were continued
down to 1884, when by Act of June
%, 1884, the pure gold to the dollar
was reduced from 24.75 to 1920
grains, the ratio between gold and
silver in coinage being to 16.OO2.
By Act of January Is, 1887, the fine
ness Of the gold coins was increased
about three-fourths of e-thousandth
by changing from the standard of $780,
225 to 900, which increased the pure
gold in the dollar from 1920 to 20. %
grains, at which it has remained up to
the present time. The ratio between
the two metals in coinage was fixed by
the Act at to 1888.
The coinage of silver dollars remain
ed free to individuals. This law i'm
posed a coinage charge of one-half of
1 per cent. for gold and for silver dol
lars. The quantity of pure silver in
the dollar as fixed by the Act of April
2, 1892, was not changed from that
date down to present time. The charge
for making gold coins and silver dol
lars remained at one-half of per cent.
until April 1, 1873, when under the
provision of the coinage Act of that
year, it was reduced to one-ffth of 1
per cent. for the gold coinage The
coinage of silver dollars had been by
the same act discontinued.
Since that time the charge for MAX
ing gold coins has been abolished, and
at the present time there is no charge
for coming gold. The depositor, how
ever, pays for the copper used in alloy
ing his gold.
When silver was at par the coming
account stood
1000 ounces silver, 1000
fine, at s1.2929. =. 81, ,292 go

Although Mr.. Crosby will not enter up
ON his third term as mayor he caE retire
with the proud consciousness Of duty
well performed. During his tenure Of
Office he has only increased the respect
felt for him by the citizens generally
and It is to be regretted that he should
have even once experienced defeat.
Even his successful opponent, DR.. AL
fred Kinney, acknowledges that Mr.
Crosby has been more attentive to the
duties of his Office than were any of
his predecessors and II the city's af
fairs are always conducted in as busi-
ness-like a manner, Astoria will indeed
be fortunate. 1t is unnecessary to dis
cuss the causes of his defeat, further
than TO say that DR.. Kinney's popu-
larlty largely contributed to It, as well
as TO the success of the citizens ticket
throughout.
