A New Way.

Young Mr. Vanderbilt is very
much averse to having his big es-
tate near Ashville invaded by the
swine Of his country neighbors,'
said Mr.. }. B. Powell, of North Car
Dina to a Washington Post report
err. Until recently however he
was at loss to hit on a plan to
keep the razor backs from intrud-
ing on his property. He didn't
want to kill them outright for fea
of mourning lawsuits and may be
the vendetta, which in the long
run is more troublesome than trial
by jury.
SUI there are plenty of wildcats
and ca'amounts on the Vanderbilt
tract 10000 acres of which is almost
in a virgin state of forest and
mountain and there was no reason
why traps should not be set to
catch these wild members of the
feline tribe. That the traps We're
, made big enough and strong e.
nough to imprison q wandering
hog that was out of his proper ter
ritory was no ground for combat.
When the traps were first put in
operation they caught few wild
cats, but a great many more porkA
ers. Then it dawned on the own
ers that it would be better to pen
up their swine than to imperIl
their existence, and so they no
longer roam at will over the Van
derbilt demesne."

the history Of the silver dollar for
the information of our readers as
ably presented by the Courier1
Journal of Louisville.
In 1878 the country was bare OF
silver with the exception of the
newly coined halves quarters and
dimes and possibly some trade dol
lars that had come back from a.
broad The subsidiary coin was
limited legal tender but was freely
taken when offered in suitab e
quantities. The trade dollars were
not legal tenders alter July %,
1875. From 1884 to 1858 both Sill
yer dollars and subsidiary coin
were worth more as bullion tnan
as coin and were melted up Cr ex>
ported. The act Of 1858 reducing
the weight of coins less than a dol
lar stopped the melting of them
because at their reduced weight it
was no longer profitable bat dGl
lars were still melted or exported
In 1873 the coinage of trade dol
lars 420 grains was authorized.
This was done at the instance OF
he people of the Pacific coast vino
wished them for use in the Asiatic
trade. They were legal tender
for only SIS in one payment, but
this made no difference abroad,
where they were valued according
to their weight and fueness. The
stamp of the Government about
which SO much has been said, be p
ed them to the extent that it show
ed they were nine parts fine silver
to one of alloy and that when un,
worn they weighed APO grains.
There are those WHO imagine
that the people otChina, Japan OF
India do not know he titierer Ct
between gold and silver and thai
they esteem the latter as much AS
J they e; er did. For all that when
the price OF silver bullion had de-
preciated to a certain point the
trade dollars began to come back,
continued to come until all that
had not been melted had probably
returned like the prOverbial bad
penny. These however were not
legal tender for any amount in
1878. Specie payments were not
! resumed until the following year,
SO gold also kept out of sight.
Under these circumstances. it is
not to be wondered at that there
was a demand for the old silver
dollar. The fashion sprang up of
calling them the dollar of our
daddies,' though in fact our dado
dies and granddaddies had gotten
but eight millions of them in
eighty five years and after 1884
those coined were melted up or ex-
ported, because there was a profit
to be made in that way. Nobody
in 1878 knew how many silver dol-
lars the people of the United States
wanted. The matter had never
been tested Jefferson stopped
their coinage in 1905, and though
it was resumed abont 1910 The
quantity was small and the coins
soon disappeared from circulation,
The green back era, not quite closed
in 1878, drove all sorts Of coin out
of general circulation, So there
was really no means of estimating
how many silver dollars which the
people were supposed ardently to
desire could be kept in circulation,
The law of 1878 providing for
the coinage of the dollar of 4l28
grains and making it a legal tender
for any sum, permitted this expero
iment to be made Tor the first time.
In a few years the limit was reachs
ed and dollars began to accumu-
late in the Treasury, On NOyem-
/ Der 1 1890 the circulation had
