The Price of Gold.

The subjoined questions have been asked
Of us by a correspondent:
- Docs the price OF gold huctuate In q commercial
sense the same silver?
80. When q Jeweier buys gold bullion at prices
quoted in the market report is that an indication
that the price OF gold nuctuates commercially the
the price OF silver?
20. Is gold amenable to the law OF supply and de-
mand as q product, or only as money!"
The asking of these questions shows OF
itself the confusion that prevails in many
minds on the subject to which they relate.
The price OF gold in any country in which
gold bullion is coined without charge, or at
trifling charge, to the owner. differs from
the quantity of coin which it will produce,
only by the difference which the owner is
willing to pay to save himself the loss or in
convenience OF waiting for the actual
coinage to take place. In this coun-
try every depositor OF gold bullion at
the Mint gets, as soon as the bullion
can be weighed and assayed. an order
on the Treasury for $2O87 for every
ounce, less the cost Of melting and alloying,
which is next to nothing. In Great Britain
the Bank Of England is required by it's char
ter to pay for every ounce Of standard gold
offered to 1t ~ shillings and pence, in it's
own notes, and these notes it must redeem
in gold coin on demand. 1t can then either
have the gold coined into sovereigns at II
shillings and l0l6 pence per ounce. or it can
keep it uncoined. When the bank buys
gold on its own account, as. for instance,
when it buys American gold coin, it pays
trifie less than the regulation price; and
when 1t SELLS either our coin or gold bars, it
a npuch moro q nurcha Sara wi limo
to pay Nevertheless, the coming value of
the gold fixes, very nearly, the market price.
and the deviations are triflng.
When it comes to the ralite Of gold meas
ured by commodities. different rule pre-
walls The price of gold does not vary, but
the quantity OF it required to procure in ex-
change any article that is bought and sold,
varies according to the market. An ounce
Of coined gold will buy, sometimes 30
ounces of silver, sometimes 81, and some
times BE. 1t will buy, sometimes 90 bushels
Of wheat, sometimes 30, and. at present,
here in New York, about 25. When
jewe!er needs gold, he can either melt up
gold Goa, or buy uncoined bars, as he
pleases; but either way, he pays very
nearly the same value for 1t.
Our answers to the questions put to us
are, therefore, 1. The price OF gold does
not vary in a commercial sense the same as
silver. 2. The price paid for gold bars does
not indicate that gold fuctuates CONNER
cially. g. Gold Is amenable to 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.

distinguished former Governors conspicu-
Gus recruit for the sound-money battle in
SIMON BOLIVAR BucKNER, the nominee OF
the Indian apolis Convention for Vice Pres

Governor WALLER OF Connecticut, Demo-
crat and patriot, has stood up manfully
against the onslaught of the servile silver
Democrats OF the Nutmeg State, or more
properly, Populists masquerading as Demo

ncsota is active in the contest there. In
Maryland, in Missouri, in Alabama, and in
other States former Governors are vying in
diligence and activity with those in Illinois
by giving to the honest-money cause their
labors and influence, refusing positively to
accept as Democratic the declaration OF the
Populized Chicago Convention and its Pop
ulist candidate for the Presidency.
So far, one former Governor OF the State
of New York, three times elected as Dem
ocrat, has taken a less active part In defend

of pernicious Populism than some former

The Anglican Orders.

To THE EDIToG or THE SuN-Sir: In your

that the Pope was invited by branch of the

Church did not ask for this investigation OF her
orders. During the year two French priests,

lshed books on Anglican orders. One con-
cluded that they were valid tho other that
they were doubtful. These books. and the dif-

the immediate cause OF this Papal Commission.

Not this year. The Popocrats at Buffalo

candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, have absolutely crawled in their

show themselves eager to accept principles
subversive of honesty and good order, they
must pay the penalty. The fact Of their
adopting such principles shows that they
are unfit to hold office of any kind.

gent citizen will not ask what does he think

The Union Ticket.

The resolutions adopted by the Rhode
Island Republicans at their State Conven-
tion are instinct with broad and liberal
patriotism, such as the time demands:
I'VE recognize with great satisfaction the generous
and Jealous assistance which receiving for the
maintenance OF those principles in this campaign
from those who in past have not been In fellow
ship with the Republican party.
I'VE again cordially invite all good citizens. by
whatever party appeilation they may have been
heretofore called, to Join with In the establish
ment OF stable and honest currency the defence OF
the national honor, and the maintenance OF the
thorlty and supremacy OF the law. and the preserva
ton OF domestic peace and prosperity"
The preservation OF the national honor
and credit transcends all questions Of party.
Against the forces which make for repudia-
tion and disorder. the forces of honesty and
respect for law should be massed solidly.
There should be no division of them. There
should be no votes wasted. 1t Is not safe
for Democrats who reject the abominable
Chicago platform, to take part in chival-
rous but necessarily fruitless demonstra-
tion in behalf of third ticket. The way,
and the only way, to beat the Chicago plat
form is to vote for MCKINLEY and HOBART.
Democrats can vote for them not as for Re
publicans but as for honest, Union men,
enemies to the sectional. swindling. and
riot-fostering policy represented by BRYAN.
Not as the Republican ticket, but as the
Union ticket MCKINLEY and HOBART
should be elected by an unparalleled major
fly. Sectionalism is the foundation Of the
BRYAN canvass. Sectionalsm must be
smashed The dishonor and ruinous losses
which would he the result OF debased cur
rency must be avoided. The Supreme Court
must be saved from degradation. The
power and right Of the United States to pro-
tect the mails and interstate commerce
must not be abandoned at the command Of
the apostles Of anarchy. The Chicago plat
form, If carried into effect, would make the
United States a sadly different country
from what it is. Keep the Union what it is
by voting for the Union ticket, MCKINLEY
and HOBART!
