take any large amount of silver, rs,
100000 or 100000 ounces, to thu
minis for coinage, how wonld hi
manage to get such an amount into
circulation
2, IT silver was demonetized il
1873, was it not remonetized in 1873
and If silver is not now primary
money what provisions have ever
been made for its redemption, such
as exists for United States Treasury
notes, ct i'd omne genus?
Answer-1. Within short time we
have noticed new expression current
in the discussion of the money ques-
ton. Under free and unlimited coin
age Of gold and silver we are assured
by the gold advocates that money will
be coined on private account, while
now it is Ecoined on Government
account, and it is supposed there is
some great argument involved in
these expressions against the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver.
All we want is tosrestore the law to
what il was previous TO 1873. If
that means coinage on private account
then we hsve!had coinage of gold and
silver on private account from the
foundation of this Government down
to 1873, and weahave had coinage OF
gold since accumulation ofthe Gov
eminent down to the presentmoment.
If coinage of gold on private account
is not such sdreadful thing. why
should the coinage of silver on private
account be SO alarming? AS a mat
ter of fact, these expressions are other
for unlimited and unrestricted
coinage. The gold men like restricted
coinage, fbecause it makes m y
scarce. The idea that the Govern
ment guarantees any value to money
under the presant regime, and would !
be under no obligations, to guarantee
value to money under the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and
siver, is absolute ly baseless. The de-
mand for money is what gives il
value. The Government guarantees
no value to money now, and would
guarantee nolvalue then. The only
possible way the Government can
effect the value of money is by de-
,reasing or increasing its volume
Senator Stewart should he be fortu-
late enough to possess the bullion you
uggest, under the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold, would do
Exactly what the gold bullion owner
loes now. He would tak9rf 20 me

LETTER FROM ORR SECRETARY.

LETTER FROM OUR SECRETARY.
When the awful news was flashed over the
wires of the ravages Of the wind-storm at ST.
Louis and East st. Louis, across the river, the
thoughts of every &C. member were with our
own beloved members in the two cities aud
great anxiety prevailed as to how they Jared
Oftwo in particular, we have been thinking
the most. first of all, Secretary Seaman, and
then our sweet little friend, Edith Haines who
was detained from ST. Louis last year because
of an accident on her wheel. Her home is IN
il-fated East ST. Louis and as yet we are with
out news of her.
In this connection buried letter from Sec
rotary Seaman will be most welcome reading,
written on Memorial Day to the Editor, though
papers received before had told OF his safety.
He writes as follows:
Today is Memorial Day. 1t is twice COM
memorated. There is deep sorrow and much
desolation here. The papers outside are sensa-
tioual, though the loss is great. How many
millions cannot be more than guessed, though
1t is estimated to be at least Sl0,ooo,00o. There
are probably not over 2o0lives lost in st. Louis
and about the same in East st. Louis.

The tcrnado's path seemed to be created by
