DOES COINAGE AFFECT VALUE?

DUES COlNAGE AfFECI VALUE! l.!
 ''It ought to be a mere trueism to say that coinage does not and cannot affect value; that it simply certifies the quality and quantity of a certain piece of property, for the information and convenience of that world of trade whose use and mutual agreement alone establishes the value of the property so certified. Coinage does not make cop Fer silver, nor silver gold, nor does it make two grains of one, nor affect in the least degree the rate of their exchange for each other in the open market" says the paper called Sound Currency
 Each issue of the periodical which is sent out twice a month from William street, New York, has on it's front page 3 text embodying some such casuisty as is contained in the foregoing In making the statement that coinage cannot affect value the intention plain ly is to mislead. It will be noticed that it is not claimed that it does not affect prices
 It is true that piece of metal is no more valuable after it is coined than before, but in the case of silver it will buy more. The bullion price of metal may easily be less than it's coinage price; it is never more.
 There was time when the bullion price of silver was above it's coinage rice in the United States, but it was governed by the coinage price in france just as the coinage price ot gold is fixed by England The so- called precious metals like any other c0Hlnodity always seek the best mar ket.
 If the United States should make 2 .aw providing for purchase and coin. ge of gold bullion at the rate of 2( rains to the dollar instead of 23 IL s at present, not only would no more old go out but gold would come in un, I prices of other commodities had be cd 4Sd +o I,o
 So it will be seen that coinage ike: ne price of metal, and were there nc iebts, it would matter little how ofte1 he price was changed beyond a sligh 'nsettlement of business. The finan rial agitation which is continually go ng forward arises from the fact tha y change in the coinage laws on metal has been denied the right o eoinage, thus doubling the demand ant bereby the price of the other Tn amp on the gold dollar has not beel hanged but the metal in it has beel rendered more valuable as a purchas ing agent.
 Debts, however, remain payable il hese dollars and while it takes n more of them to pay debt than for n1erly, it takes much more of every thing which must be exchanged fo dollars This is the source of tn trouble Even this might end in tim if present conditions should continue But under gold standard the purchas ing power of gold even goes highe and as an inevitable consequence tn price of everything else continues t decline, so that the man who contract a debt today, payable in five year: will find himself compelled to pay i dearer dollars than he borrowed jus

Another Threatened Lynching a
Rockville.

Rockville.
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 6.-The lynch
ing of the negro Sidney Randolph near
this place Saturday morning, has cre-
ated the greatest indignation among
his race. Randolph was confined in
Jail awaiting trial for the murder of
Sadie Buxton on May 25th. The ne
groes have the impression that Mr..
Buxton, father of the murdered girl,
knows who were concerned in the
lynching, and they have threatened to
treat him in the same manner. The
sheriff, hearing of these threats, swore
in q large number of deputies last night
to guard Buxton against any attack.
The deputies were joined by q large
number of people from Gaithersburg,
the home of the Buxton family. There
was no disturbance, however, though
it is feared that the anger of the ne
groes may lead them to do something
in retaliation for the lynching of Ran
dolph and great uneasiness prevails
among the people generally.

In SPEAKING of the Presidents I'M
accountable and, SO far, inexplicable
war manifesto against Great Britain,
that spoilt the country's Christmas last
year, MIR. Phelps, who had been U. s.
Minister at London by Mr.. Cleveland's
own appointment, says:
"The matter out of which it sprung
was one that did not concern US In the
least, of the merits of which we knew
nothing, in which our interference was
altogether without justification or
reasonable object; and it took both ma
tions by surprise"
What ever induced it, the temporary
applause of the reckless jingoes was
gained, but the support of the few con-
ssrvative men of his own party who
had continued to stand by Mr..
Cleveland, was then lost, and
since then, like Logan, none
is left to mourn for him, for the lip SER
vice he receives is only that of those
who are still the benefciaries of his Of
cial patronage. What MIR. Cleveland
would do for his party and his country
was foretold by the wise men among
the former eleven years ago, and, though
knowledge comes, wisdom fingers.

Mr.. CHAUNcEY F. BLACK, president
of the national association of demo-
cratic clubs, says:
"Whatever majority of delegates IN
national convention shall declare as
their present view touching the coinage
of silver, let the final determination OF
the ouestion-as one of mere expedl-
ency and never party test-be remit
ted to the people in the Congressional
districts, where it properly belongs,
with the distinct pledge that their will
clearly pronounced at the polls, shall
not be thwarted by the interposition OF
the executive veto, representing only
personal opinions or those of any ascer-
tanned or confessed minority. This
would enable all members OF the party
in all sections of the country to support
the electoral ticket, and, at the same
time. 10 vote their individual opinions
upon the coinage question in the most
eflectual way, in the election OF repre-
sentatives."
If there be one thing more patent
than another in this country now, it is
the fact that the people thereof, of all
political parties, are determined to have
the currency question settled one way
or the other, in favor of gold or OF
silver, and surely no mode of settling
it, with less danger to the democratic
party, could possibly be adopted than
that recommended by Mr.. Black.
