The Price of Gold.

The subjoined questions have been
asked of us bya correspondent:
81. Does the price Of gold fluctuate in
"a commercial sense the same as silver?
I" When jeweler buys gold bullion
at prices quoteafn the market report,
is that capitalization that the price of
golll1nctuates commercially the same
,S the price of silver?
Z" IL gold amenable to the law of sup
ply and demand as product, or only
as money!"
The asking of these questions shows
OF itself the confusion that prevails in
many minds on the subject 10 which
they relate. The price of gold in any
country in which gold bullion is coin
ed without charge, or at a tritling
charge to the owner, differs from the
quantity Of coin which it will produce
only by the difference which the own
er is willing To pay to save himself the
loss or inconvenience of waiting for
the actual coinage to take place. In
this country every depOsitor of gold
bullion mt the mint gets, as soon as the
bullion can be weighed and assayed, an
order on the Treasury for S2O.6T for ev-
cry ounce, less the cost Of melting aud
alloying, which is next TO nothing.
In Great Britain the Bank OF England
is required by its charter To pay for ev-
cry ounce OF standard gold offered to il
~ shillings and 8 pence, in IFS own
notes, and these notes it must redeem
in gold coined into sovereigns at ~
shillings and l04 pence per ounce, o. it
can keep it uneoined. When the bank
buys gold on It's own account, as, for
instance, when it bays American gold
coin, it pays trifle less than the regu-
lation price; and when it sells either
our coin or gold bars it gets as much
more as purchasers are willing to pay.
Nevertheless, the coming value Of gold
fixes, very nearly, the market price,
and the deviatiOns are trifiing.
When il comes To the value of gold
measured by commodities a different
rule prevails. The price of gold does
not vary, but the quantity of it requir-
ed to procure in exchange any article
that is bought or sold varies according
TO the market. An ounce OF coined
gold will buy sometimes 30 ounces OF
silver, sometimes 81, and sometimes 81.
IL will buy sometimes - bushels of
wheat, sometimes 80, and, at present,
here in New York, about >. When
jeweler needs gold he can either melt
up gold coins or buy uncoined bars, as
he pleases; but, either way, he pays
very nearly the same value for it.
Our answers 70 the questions put to
us are, therefore: !. The price OF gold
does not vary in commercial sense
the same as silver. >. The price paid
for gold bars does not indicate that
gold fiuctustes commercially. 3. Gold
is ameEable 10 the law OF supply and
demand, but the variations in its value
are indicated by the prices of other
commodities, OF which prices gold
coin. or its equivalent, is the measure.

Freaks for the Paris Exposition.

The freak exhibitors are jus; now
besiegiDg the managers of the coming
Paris Exposition for space to exhibit
their wonders. One man has a pair Of
hairless horses, each of which has a
horn in its forehead and skin OF the
color of ripe banana. Another wants
10 exhibit woman who has two faces
and three tongues, but who is perfectly
dumb. Another writes for space in
which to exhibit a winged sheep, which
only has two legs, and horse which
has eight perfect hoofs in his four legs.
An Austrian wants to send hen that
always walks backward, and Italian
banker thinks that he ought to have
room enough in which to exhibit a
pure white Shetland pony eighteen
inches high and "shod all around with
gold. Louis Republic.

IN the Sign Of the Flag.

The Union Generals left Chicago for
the final trip OF the campaign. They
are headed for Indiana, Kentucky,
Ohio and Michigan, in the order nam
ed, and may bring up in the closing
hours of the battle in West Virginia.
No feature of the campaign has been
hailed with more interest and delight
that the trip Of the Union Generals.
They are all called Generals, although
in reality the party is made up Of five
generals, a captain and a corporal.
The generals are, o. o. Howard, DAN
iel +. Sickles, L. j. Stewart, of Penn
sylvania o. A. Marden, of Massa-
ehusetts, and Russell ~ Alger, Of
Michigan. The captain is John r.
Tanner, the Republican candidate for
Governor Of Illinois, and the corporal
is Corporal Tanner, of New York.
BY no means the least interesting
person ON the Union Generals train is
the bugler At every stopping place
on the road the bugler is very inn
portant man. At these stopping places
the generals leave their ear seats on the
flat car. On each side of their seats
are tie rapid-fire gun and mortar.
When Gen. Sickles rises on his cruteh
es TO address the audieuce the b1gler is
Immediately beside him.
"Bugler," commands Gen. Sickles in
the sharp tones Of an army officer Civ
ing orders, "call my comrades in the
vast audience before me-"
The bugier gives the regulation call.
The old comrades in the audience step
to the front and salute.
"Bugler," roars Gen. Sickles, "call
us back to the old days"
The bugler then runs the gamut of in
fantry, artillery and cavalry calls, and
between them he plays the reveille and
the call to arms. The old comrades
roar with delight. The rapid-ire gun
blazes away and the mortar belches
skywaTd bomb which, when il breaks,
is ball of red, white and blue fire.
There is band at every point, and the
national songs are replayed. All join
in singing the star Spangled Banner"
These scenes are repeated all along the
route. Gen. Sickles, in his speeches,
says never a word about free silyer.
his talks are on patriotism alone. He
talks TO the old comrades like an old
general who was their commander and
their friend. He takes particular de
light in ''skinning that wolf Altgeld."
He does this because he declares Alt
geld i rot patriot.
Comrades" be says 10 his audience,
''there WAS a young man who visited
the East a short time ago. He said be-
fcre he started East that he was TO en-
! ter the enemy's country. That young
mans name is Bryan. / have come to
see you out West. | have not come in
to my own country, and there is not
! one of my old comrades here or his
wife or his child who is afraid of me.
Neither am | afraid of him. You
know, comrades, what we had to do
thir,y-ive years ago. We had to stand
by the flag. We must stand by the
fag now. There is no bitterness in
our hearts, but a. old comrades We
must stand by the flag. We must
stand by the old eolors- We must
stand by TIE country. Comrades, do
do your duty as you did thirty-five
years ago"

There Will be 773 Miles Of Ballots in
Pennsylvania.

The man with the pencil was at it.
He had heard that the smallest ballot
to be voted this year will be eleven col
umns wide, or twenty seven inches
long. Then he sat down in the DAILY
Telegraph" office and began to figure.
There are about million registered vO-
ters in Pennsylvania, snd the law pro-
vides that there shall be one and a half
ballots printed for each voter, or 500
600 i'm all. Added to this number there
are 10000 specimen ballots. The mans
pencil scooted over the paper rapidly,
and after a while he ceased figuring and
said: "There will be printed for the use
OF the voters OF this State, under the
law, one million and seven hundred
and fifty thousand ballots, the smallest
of which will be twenty-seven inches
long. | have reduced the number of
inches to miles, and find that if the
ballots were placed end to end they
would cover the distance of seven hun
dred and seventy-three miles" just
think of that distaneein ballots! Twice
across the State Of Pennsylvania Paste
one end % the continuous ballot on the
city hall in Philadelphia, and it could
he carried across the State to the city
hail in Pittsburg, wound around it once
and then taken back TO Philadelphia
city hall again. That continuous ballot
could be fastened to the dome of the
Capitol at Harrisburg and stretched to
New York and back to the Capitol and
then back to New York again, and
then there would be some left for good
measure Seven hundred and seventy
three miles OF ballot-McKinley's ma
jority will probably BE- over two humid
red iriles Harrisburg Telegraph.

Union and Honor

Mr.. Mckinley struck TIE note of high
patriotism in his speech to the Confed-
crate veterans on Friday. What made
that reunion of former foes significant
was not merely the proof it gave that
the passions of the civi! war are stilled.
That has been abundantly shown in
other ways and i'm past years. In 1851,
when President Arthur sent to Congress
the first message that body had receiv-
ed in score of years in which no ques-
ton was discussed relating to the war,
the country knew that solid union had
come, and come to stay. What mark
ed the meeting at Canton was that the
men who had borne arms against each
other came together in the defense Of
the honor of the common country.
This was the note of Mr.. McKinley's
speech.
Liberty, union and honor" he de-
clared to be the "high aim ofevery sur
vivor of the great war" His visitors
had come to testify their devotion to
the unbroken and never-to-be-broken
Union tremendous applausel and their
purpose to uphold its credit and honor
forever. (Cries of Good Good y and
great cheering.) Let it go forth let il
be everywhere proclaimed that the
men of the North and the men of the
South stand for the enthronement of
justice and the supremacy of the law.
Great cheering Let us remember
now and in all the future that we are
Americans, and that what is good for
Ohio is good for Virginia" (COntin-
uous applause and loud yells and three
cheers for Mckinley and Hobart
There is no mistaking the spirit of
tiese words. Whatever merely partisan
feeling Mr.. Mckinley may have, ii was
silenced by the spectacle presented that
day. Nothing was in his words but a
profound conviction that the honor Of
the common country is threatened, and
that the people of all sections are unit
ed in its defense. And that is the SIM
pie and precious truth.-New York
Times

Are Your Wife and Chilirel Pro-
teeted

by insurance? More than ten million
people have policies. Twenty-Five mil
lion people are trusting TO those poll
cies 10 care for them when husbands
aud fathers are dead. In 1888 the
companies paid policy-holders and
their families SiG5, l09,6l0, equivalent
to gold. If they could have paid in
silver dollars, they would have paid but
little more than half of that.
The difference would not have been
made by the companies, but by the
men who borrow gold dollars from the
companies and would repay silver dol
lars.
The silver men wish to take half your
insurance away from your widow and
children, and give it 10 the men who
borrowed from the companies.

The Bald Truth.

Mr.. David Macrae, of Dundee, has
brought together some amusing "Blun-
ders" in little book just issued. Pas
tor John Bost of Laforce, in travelling
through Scotland, had heard the word
"barren" applied to hilltops where
there was no vegetation. According
ly, rising to address the Free Church
Assembly, in which there happened to
be an unusual number of venerable and
baldheaded 'divines, he told them how
nervous he was when he looked round
and saw 50 many barren heads. The
Scotsman remarked next day that for
once the Free Assembly had got the
truth told about it.-Westminster Ga
