For the Herald and Tribune.
Free Coinage of Silver.

ii'C 'uiHuSt vi SILVER.
AS to the question now 80 thoroughly
stirring up the Democratic party, Free
Coinage of Silver at 10 to ~ there is
less hard, financial common sense
about it than many are led to suppose.
Let me briefly exhibit the question
under the mostfavorable light claimed
for it by the silverites.
First, they say that free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to / is necessary
because the act of 1878 has caused gold
to go up in value about one half-that
a silver dollar, or 3714 grains of pure
silver is really worth as much now as
it was then: but, the gold dollar is now
up to nearly 200 cents in value. That is
not true; but letting it be granted as
true, we have now about 443, O00. 900
silver dollars and some 6S, 600, 900 dol
lars worth of halves, quarters, dimes
and half dimes all held up to full face
value; so that if gold has gone up it
has lifted with it all our silver coins 10
the place of full par value. Is not that
good enough What more ought, or
a the advocates and lovers of the
dollars of our daddies" ask?
But, the silverites say we want more
money -more of the circulating me-
dunn, and, that the addition ought and
must be in silver dollars.
AS to that, the Secretary of the Trea.
sury 8 report shows two very important
things: First, that our supply of coined
dollars is something over 443, 600, 900
and our subsidiary coins 1858, 900 900
in value. Second, that aside from our
subsidiary coins, it has been found
only possible to keep out in circulation
about 1900, 900 of silver dollars. AS
soon and as fast as more than that
number is paid out, they are sent back
to the treasury. The people prefer the
use of paper as it is worth just as much
and is more easily carried. 1t is, there.
fore, a fact, that of our $511 900, 900 of
silver coin, fully S400, 000, 900 is left
piled up in our treasury vaults because
the people are unwilling to employ it
as a circulating medium. 1t takes
about twenty silver dollars to weigh a
pound. These four hundred millions of
unused silver dollars are equal to 90
600 900 of pounds and would make TO-
600 two horse wagon loads of 1000
pounds each. Were they piled up at
johnson City and a WAGNER was en-
ployed to haul them to Jonesboro,
making a load OF 1000 pounds each
day from the 1st of January to the 31st
of December it would take him just
twenty seven years and 145 days to
complete the job. Is it, therefore,
necessary just now, or, apparently, for
a number of years to come, to coin
more silver dollars for use?

WI have received from the author,
our old friend George A. Ross, a copy
OF THE Governors Mercy, a Story of
the Tennessee Mountains" 1t is a
simple tale of a simple, everyday life,
and is one of many that have had for
their foundation some act of one of our
Governors. The author INDUCES in no
extravaganza of language, but is plain
and pleasing in his phrasing, and the d.
alogue is above the average so far as the
vernacular of the mountain people are
concerned. Altogether the book is well
worth the reading, and we hope it will,
as the author suggests, be productive
OF something more substantial than
mere reputation.

see that If these judges should be de.
