4 conference was held at the Great North
ern Hotel in Chicago yesterday between
representatives of the Great Northern, the
Rock Island. the Atchison and the Grand
Trunk roads, with Chairman Caldwell, Of
the Western Passenger Association, present
in an ex-offcial capacity. The object Of the
meeting to discuss and arrange the
matter of differentials allowed the Canadian
Pacific some time since on North Pacific
coast points. When the latter road was
making strong fight against the emigrant
clearinghouse of the Western roads. the
Grand Trunk stood by the clearinghouse.
as against the Canadian Pacific, and yet
when the final settlement was made the
interests of the Grand Trunk were ignored
and the Canadian Pacific was given all the
plums- The Grand Trunk has been very
core about the matt sr ever since and the
meeting to-day was TO see if some arrange
ment could not be made whereby its in
terests in the matter of immigrant traffic
be better protected. No action was
taken yesterday, but the chances are that
some agreement will be made satisfactory
to all parties concerned.

tween the grain committee of the exchange

grain interests. which several days past have
complained that the railroads were discrim-
mating I'm freight rates I'm favor OF Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and other Southern

AN EXPERIMENT IN FREE COINAGE.
CHIHUAHUA's EXPERIENCE WITH AN INFLATED
COPPER COINAGE.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: About twenty-five years ago tho Mexican
State OF Chihuahua found that necessity existed
for greater amount Of small change. and ar
rangement made for the coinage Of copper
pieces of the denomination of one-fourth of real
or 31s cents. A contract made with enter
prsing citzen-by adoption-named Robinson. by
which he should furnish the machinery and cop
per and do the work OF coming. and In return he
should issue the coins at pa value for his own
account the coins TO bear the customary State
device and 10 be stamped ~"
This a good contract for Robinson as prac-
tcaly restrictions placed his issue. and
he sat up nights turning the crank OF his mint-he
having boom, while the other citizens were
enjoying free coinage. Owing Roblnson's indus
try, there was soon an overproduction of these
"quar;illas, and the supply was greater than the
demand Then the current value fell of until they
were worth only about much the copper in
them The public had appraised them at their real
value. and an act OF Legislature followed. making
first value The coins have been in circulation since
that time at one-eighth OF a real, although still
stamped 'A."
With free coinage OF silver would no. a similar
condition be brought about. and would the
public at once appraise the dollars and stamp them
with n big Y? G. c. L.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: notice that w. c. Whitney is very bitter
against the leading Republicans. blaming them
for the present condition OF the country. Now.
would II not be better for him to take the leaders
Of the Democratic party to task for taking this
Anarchistic baby In their laps In the Senate. as
late as last winter. and tenderly nursing II? What
could they expect? Any man OF sense knows that
II mans income does not equal his expenses.
bankruptcy follows and yet President Cleveland
and the other leaders of the party have known
that our income did not meet expenditures.
Did our President recommend a higher tariff to
meet expenses? No; like Micawber. he went to
borrowing. waiting for Something to turn up"
What could follow but loss Of credit? And what
GOULD follow that but a the Treasury ?
And even last winter, when this natural effect had
followed the plain cause. we saw the Democrats
tonng with the free-siver men In resisting every
effort of the Republicans to increase the income OF
the Government.
If the President and the Democrats of the Senate
would even now when they cannot help but see
jon the Republicans In restoring the Mckinley
tar!fY OF a similar one. | predict that you would
see Immediately a very gratifying improvement.
VIII thev do II? No. They think that IT would be
humiliating and 80, for the sake OF consistency
they will let credit be DESTROYED; Yes IL We
advise to still keep borrowing as preferable TO
the alternative OF admitting that he and his party
have made mistake - T.. WASGAII.
