The Senator.

Next Thursday evening Mr.. Louis
Aldrich, supported by nearly the same
excellent company which appeared here
last season, will hold the boards at Port

The Senator" The play is one of the
brightest and cleanest ever seen on the
American stage, as all who saw the pro-
duction in this city last season can
testify. aThe Senator" has been playing
continuously for the past two years and
is play far removed from the ordinary
productions of the stage. Perhaps its
greatest claim to recognition at the hands
of an American audience is the fact that
it is purely an American comedy.

INCOHERBNT MIslNPoRMATIoN.

The Journal has received from an in
coherent and excited advocate of the
free coinage of silver aletter which be-
gins as follows:
You have repeatedly stated. end tho
statement Is false and misleading. that the
value of the silver in the present white
dollar is but 65 cents. What is your object
of publishing to the world your iGnOranceG
1t is not the Journals ignorance, but
commercial fact which every man who
reads the market reports and under
stands the rudiments of arithmetic can
verify for himself. Saturday, fine bar
silver was quoted at S2la cents an ounce.
An ounce contains 4S) grains, conse-
quently one grain fine silver was
worth III mill. The standard sill
yer dollar contains 371l4 grains of
fine silver. AS one grain is worth III
mill, 371l4 grains would be worth 63.48
cents. That is, the intrinsic value of
the fine silver in o standard dollar was,
in the open markets of the world, on
Saturday, little less than 63lo cents.
So much for the Journals ignorance;
now for a sample of the incoherent mis-
information of the free-silver- coinage
champion:
In the present silver dollar there arc 412
grains of 800 fine coin bullion. This 900
grains of fine coin silver bullion il valued
by the government gold standard. at one
quarter of cent per grain. or loo cents full
value. From this the government ded nets
10 per cent. for alloy. making the actual
value Of the silver bullion In q silver
dollar so centsL The government fixes
the value of the twenty-five grains
of fine gold bullion in gold
dollar at 4 cents q grain, making the full
value of the bullion in gold dollar 100
cents. from which is deducted 10 per cent.
for alloy, making the actual value of the
bullion in a gold dollar the same as the
dollar.
The first error in the above is regard
ing the weight of both silver and gold
dollars. the first being 412.5 and the lat
ter 25.S grains. The writer's rigmarole
about the values attached to grains OF
gold and silver is pure misinformation.
The government does nothing OF the
sort. There is no law from which such
an inference can be drawn. On the
contrary, the laws declare that the gold
dollar OK 25.S grains. nine-tenths fine.
shall be the gold unit of value, and that

legal tender. shall contain 412lo
