silver Legal Tcndcr-DemOncfiza
ton.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
win YOU kindly inform me In what
amounts are silver dollars n legal tender
al the present time? And If the law
Accommodating silver did not say that gold
should be the unit OF value. and silver
a legal tender In sums not exceeding -!
\. S. r.
Silver dollars are legal tenders for all
debts. except where there are contracts
otherwise STIMULATING. As 10 the other
question of our correspondent we answer
by giving the following from the writings
Of Judge Robert W. Hughes. one Of the
ablest of the frec-silver advocates:
by the Sherman revisal Of the coinage
laws Of the United States IN 1873. the
coinage of silver dollars was no longer
authorized by law. Before that. from
nearly the beginning Of our government
down TO the day when the United States
Revised Statutes took effect. the silver
dollar was the unit Of value. the only
unit Of value in the United States. IL
was coined by the government from
81 II grains of pure silver and one ninth
Of alloy. making the dollar 4l2-l-2-grain
coin.
BY the revised statutes Of 1873 enacted
In that year. and published in book-form
III lottl VIE SiiNti A'ildi ''dN'A ~ ~
coined by the government minis. and the
legal tender function was taken away
from all silver coins when offered in
greater amounts than g.. OF which the
gold dollar should not form part.
The silver dollar having. as described,
ceased TO be the unit of value in the
United States. ii became necessary TO
make some other coin that unit. So the
revisal of 1873 enacted that the gold dollar.
which had never before been 50, and had
repeatedly been changed in us weight by
act OF Congress. was declared to be the
unit Of value Of the United States. The
language Of the law of 1873 is:
"The gold coins Of the United States
shall be a one-dollar piece. which. at the
STANDARD weight Of 25S grains. shall
be the UNIT OF VALUE" etc. etc
In another place, the revisal declares
that "the standard for both gold and
silver coins Of the United States shall
be such that Of one thousand parts by
weight nine hundred shall he of pure
metal and one hundred of alloy"
This makes the coined gold dollar con-
tanning 2j.S grains Of standard gold con
tain 23.22 grains Of pure sold
BY the Bland act Of 1873 the silver dol
lars were made legal tender for the pay
ment OF all debts, except where other
wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract" without limit of the amount ten
dored. The provision of law has never
been changed.

ENCOREs ARE TOO NUMEROUS.
low and Why This Becomes So
NeY order OF Criticism.

The encore nuisance has reached such
pitch I'm our concert-rooms and theatres
that something ought to be done to put
an end 10 it. no one objects to spon-
tancous and general demand for an On
core; but how often does such thing
occur? The history Of the average encore
is this: \ soloist finish a piece. ANA X
heartily applaulcd; the great body OF
the audie.cc ceases to applaud, ana then
some ten or "A dozen "cncOrc-hends,' a
they are called. X cp on cldpp.ng their
hands and stamping. not because they
really hunger for more music, but be-
cause they are built that way; fifteen or
twenty OF those aker brethren who are
always ready % follow leader toin IN
the CHATTER; and the SOloist, intent on
getting an extra line in the next morn
inss papers, promptly COMES forward
with another selection. tn result Is that
se.erdl hundred persons. who may not
seriously object 10 hearing the soloist
again, but certainly did not ask 10, are
compelled 90 do so by noisy minority Of
forty o. hity.
The theatre encore, conspicuous on the
nights of comic opera failures, is of a
different sort. The credit for this particu-
lar species Of encore nuisance belongs
generally TO The visiting manager ana his
aides. The fundamental principle of the
thing Is. tina, any applause at all consti-
tutes demand for an encore. which must
be given at once before the applause can
end. The reason for The existence OF this
scheme IS: II has been the custom OF
morning papers to enumerate the numbers
that were enoored on first nights; ergo,
have them all cncOred and You have a
tremendous success next morning. or
course this scheme works OF the assump-
ton that newspaper man is an igRora-
mus. This. however, is not always the
case. Tn only practical result Of the in
Nention is that the papers no longer men-
