money.

The objection which Mr. Carlisle
raises to the recoinage OF silver at the
ratio of 20 to l, applies as well to any
other ratio as to 20, seeing that it would
cost about as much to recon our present
silver dollars at one ratio as at another
The letter of Mr.. Carlisle will operate
in several ways:
First, it will influence some congress
men, who were willing to vote for ratio
OF % to l, to vote against any other ratio
than Is to /, this ratio mourning no ad-
ditional expense, and leaving all the out
standing dollars in circulation.
Second, it will influence some con-
gressmen to vote for the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman Law who were
not disposed thus to vote.
Third, it will strengthen the hands OF
the Administration.
Fourth, it will cause some surprising
changes Of 'front.'

The DISPATCH has received from the
banking house of JOHN L. WILLIAMS q
SoN, a chart "showing the course Of
silver and silver-coinage in this country
for more than hundred years, besides
giving other important data bearing
upon the subject"
From an examination OF the figures
showing the worlds production of the
precious metals from 1860 to 1892, the
firm say 'tit would seem TO be conclu-
sive that the decline in silver is the re-
suit of no conspiracy, but that silver has
been struck down by the irresistible
hand Of nature, and that its depreciation
has not been caused by either the legis-
lation Of our own or foreign governments.
but that the so-called denomination is
the logical result and inevitable conse-
quence Of the working of purely natural
laws by over production. The supply
has greatly exceeded the demand, and Its
commercial value has fallen.
We do not know that we can agree to
al the conclusions drawn from the fig
ures presented, though we cannot but
admire the ability, pains-taking care and
patient industry which is shown in the
work. WILLIAMS & SoN are distinguish.
ed for their valuable publications
The plan OF the chart--the idea OF il
Illustrating the rise aud fall OF silver du-
ring all OF our country's history, as the
Weather Bureau pictures the rise and
fall Of temperature on its charts-and
ali Of the vast labor OF statistical COM
pilation and analysis were, we learn, the
work OF Mr.. Lancaster Williams.

Greatest. Chess payer.

Who was the greater chess-player, Paul
Morphy or William Steinitzf VI. III.
Our correspdndeut propounds difficult
question. We can only answer that there
is such difference Of opinion on the sub
ject no presents among those who are best
entitled to be judges a. 10 suggest doubt
as to whether Morphy or steinitz should
be assigned the pre-ominence in The gen
tie and noble game of chess. We do not
hesitate to add. however. that in our
judgment the prcponderance of opinion
is in favor OF Morphy. and that for comoi-
nations that are no less sound than brill
liant, he has never been approached and
is not likely ever to be exeelled.

Condition of Country in 1887.

Condition OF Country In 1897.
In the year 1857, in bis annual mes
sage to Congress, Mr.. Buchanan gave
description Of the then condition of the
country, which defines clearly the Inca
ments of the panic which now paraIyses
business.
The great Pennsylvania statesman
declares it to be one of the highest and
most responsible duties of government
to ensure the people q sound currency.
He was addressing Congress and was
speaking Of the Federal Government
and the Federal laws. 1t was, he said,
the duty of the government to "ensure
the people sound currency" Yes,
"ensure the people q sound currency"
What prevented? What was the diff
Guilty? unfortunately, continues one
OF tho wisest Presidents the country
has ever had. unfortunately this I'M
portant and delicate duty has been trans
ferred to more than l. o. State banks,
acting independently of each other and
regulating their paper issues almost ex-
clusively 10y a regard to the present in
terests of their stockholders.
There would now be about 5000 OF
these State banks. Think OF 5000 diff
ferent kinds of circulating notes, and
not one of them known to be good five
hundred miles from home.
Think of what motley currency we
should have. Think OF returning to the
old system Of issuing 100000 of circu-
lating notts upon 100000 OF specie.
One dollar to redeem three, and that
one dollar lent to somebody and notice
put upon the door that the bank has srls-
pended specie payments. There would
not be n hundred men in Richmond who
could detect counterfeits upon these
wildcat banks.
The difference between national cur
rency and a local currency is that one is
for the people and the other is for the
men who receive interest on three dol
lars OF notes based on one dollar OF real
money.

The Cost Of Producing Silver.

What does it cost to produce an ounce
of pure silver? This is question which
Mr.. Halstead has asked great many
times.
1t is a question which many persons
would like to see answered. Why not
answer it 1t seems to us that every
Congressman would like to be able to
do so. We know that the cost Of the
production of silver is greater at one
mine than at some other mine. But APP
proximate accuracy may be attained.
Let all the papers and all the Con-
gressmen continue to call for the desired
information unit they get it.
