1t is Worth 100 Cents in the United States
Mint--A silver Dollar is Worth n little
over Fifty Cents.
In answer to several New Haven en-
quirers on the subject, the following
from the Baltimore Sun, will be Of in
terest.
Recently, in reply to a correspondent,
the Sun stated that twenty-dollar
gold siece is worth $50 by reason of the
weight os gold in it, not by reason Of
the government stamp or inscription on
it, If the gold piece were melted into
lump it would still be worth $40 in the
market. Whereas the silver dollar, the
coinage Of which 1t is proposed to make
free, it worth when melted down but
little over 90 cents.
AS several correspondents questioned
the correctness of our statement, being
under the impression that the mint
stamp on the gold and the copper mix
ed with it made q considerable differ
ence, the Sun, to end all question,
addressed inquiries to the director of
the mint at Washington, with the fol-
lowing result;
Treasury Department

Washington, ID. c., May rs, 1896
A. S. Abel Company, Publishers Balti-
more Sun, Baltimore, Nd:
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiries
of the 25th inst, relative to the value of
gold and United States gold coins, !
submit the following:
"1-What do you give for gold?"
Answer-The government pays for
gold at the rate of $2067 per ounce, fine,
or $3.50 per ounce standard (9-10 flne)
''2-Is there a charge for minting,
| and, if so, how much is it?"
Answer-The government makes nc
charge for coming gold,
Sis there a charge for the copper
| used to prepare gold for the mint?"
Answer-When the bullion deposited
| is not suitable for coinage, and requires
parting and refining, charges are made
| for these operations equal to the ex-
| pense incurred in eliminating the base
| metals and parting the gold from the
| silver when the two metals are com
| bined. There is also charge of cents
| per ounce for copper required for alloy
Upon gold bullion of standard fineness
| that is, containing $40 gold and lit
! copper-no charge whatever would be
| imposed.
"4-Will the mint give 81 for 2S.2.
| grains of pure gold?"
| Answer-The depositor Of gold bullior
| is allowed 100 cents for every 1872:
| oP ic ac;-
| may contain.
"5-What is a twenty-dollar gold piect
worth in the market If melted into {
lump"
| Answer~-Twenty dollars (S20), if i
! has lost nothing in the melting.
Yours respectfully,

Director of the Mint

NOT OPPOSED TO THE MuTuALs
Attorney General Churchill Hns Not
COmhnicd ErnicrnnI Insurnncc.


| LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 31.-(Special THE
attack in typewriter circulars signed and
unsigned, and by printed circulars, sent out
by ono W. b. Lynch of Lincoln, who repre-
sents himself as a member of a mutual in
surance committee, is being answered by
mutual companies of good standing gener-
ally. who have no complaint on account of
unfriendly treatment from Attorney Cen
eral Churchill. The following circular sent
out by the Omaha mutuals speaks for itself.
All this talk about war upon mutual COM
panies,' so far as can be learned here, Is
absolutely rot. Every old line company, So
called, Is protesting that none of its rep
| resentatives have taken any action toward
regulating or interfering with the mutuals
| The Bee published last week the answers
| OF every state and special agent living In
Omaha, all declaring that there had been at
no time any organized effort on the part of
any of the companies represented by them
| toward Gripping or interfering with mutual
/ companies, which is regarded as a species of
| competition not in the least damaging to
| either the old line fire companies or life
! companies, as mutual fire insurance is gem
orally accepted only by the farming COM
munity and on small dwelling risks in viii
| lagos where the fire protection Is poor, and.
so far as farm risks are concerned the old
line companies, with only two or three eX-
| ceptions, are refusing to write on farm prop
erty. As for mutual life insurance, nearly
all the leading agents In Omaha are carrying
more or less of mutual insurance through
| fraternal societies. The whole cry of war
against the mutuals was started for cam
paign purposes only. undoubtedly for the
purpose OF foisting some discredlted poll
ticians into the legislature. The circular
! reads:
OMAHA, Oct. 27-We, the undersigned
insurance companies, having had our at
! tention called to a circular sent out by Mr..
| Lynch and Mr. Swigert of Lincoln, Neb.,
In which they contend that Attorney Gen
eral Churchill Is unfrendly to mutual in
surance, have thoroughly investigated the
matter, and especially the connection OF Mr..
Churchill with the, case Of the State OF

a new 2Ox3O-foot American flag. The in
terror of the stock yards Office was hand
somely decorated with bunting flags and
pictures of Major Mckinley. The packing
houses also displayed large flags on their
buildings. Some of the friends of Bryan and
free silver displayed the national colors and
Autographs of their candidates, but they
were largely in the minority Many of tho
homes in the residence portion were quite
elaborately decorated, flags and pictures ap-
pearing at the windows and on the outside
of the buildings The display of so many
Autographs of tho republican candidates
naturally stirred up enthusiasm and crowds
were to be SEN on the streets all day talk
ing sound money and McKinleyism.

Resented by WOr.ingmen.

Democratic managers of South Omaha are
asserting that while workingmen are wearing
Mckinley badges they are going to vote for
Bryan. A large number OF packing house
employees are very much insensed with these
statements of the democratic managers.
Several workingmen who are employed at
the different packing houses called at The
Bee office last night and asserted that they
feel humilated at such statements and said
that never before during a political cam
pagn had they been branded as hypocritos
and knaves They admitted wearing McKn-
ley badges and said they did so because they
intended to vote the republican ticket on
election day.
Prominent republicans serving on the cen-
tral committee say that there is no neces-
sity for workingmen to wear Mckinley
badges unless 1t is By their own choice All
this talk about coercion is bosh The work
ingmen do not forget Mr. Bryan's remark to
the glass workers OF Pttsburg. When they
asked for protection for their industries
Mr.. Bryan called them public beggars and
now to be branded as hypocritos and knayes
by the local democrats is adding insult to
injury.

ATTEMPT TO LOOT AN IOWA BANK
Robbers Use Bomb on IA Building al
GOIdHeId.

MASON CITY, Ia, Oct. 3l.-(special Tele.
gram.)-A desperate attempt was made tc
loot the Citizens State bank at Goldfeld
owned by McElhinney Bros. The bank ic
located in a fine two-story brick building
with printing office above. About | O'Clock
the city was shaken from center TO circum-
ference and the citizens rushing out on the
streets found an attempt had been made
to rob the bank and destroy the building.
A bomb had been placed on the street close
to the door and when the explosion occurred
two plate glass windows were shattered and
the counter inside badly torn up and the
building damaged more or less. Four plate
glass windows on the opposite side OF the
street were broken. With the approach
OF the citizens the robbers fled. They did
not secure any money.

Free silver Man Purchases Gold an,
Hedges on the Election.


JEFFERSON, Ia, Oct. 1-(Special.) mo
paign has had the effect of creating such a
sensation, OF a political nature, as the ac-
tion of John Harker of Grand Junction
Mr. Harker is a well known and well fixed
farmer. He is also a very radical and pro-
nounced free silver man and one of the
leaders in the county. Last week he had
in this city, and when the teller rendered
him paper money he said he would prefer to
have it in gold. The teller declined to pay
in that sort OF coin, whereupon the free sill
erite asked If he could have gold by paying
a premium but this proposition was also
refused by the bank. 1t appears that Mr..
Harker must have gone home and converted
what property he could into cash: at all
events he appeared at the bank of O. j.
Duttcn at Grand Junction and said he de-
sired to purchase 81 900 in gold. A deal was
finally arranged whereby Mr.. Harker paid
the banker ,013 in currency for the 81 900
In gold. Harker then turned around and
deposited the gold or had it placed in a
safety deposit drawer, subject to his order.
Many voters who have been persuaded by
the democratic leaders that free silver would
be good thing for them are asking the
question: II under free coinage the silver
dollar will be as good as gold. as Bryan
has repeatedly said, and as he said In JEFF
ferscn on his way TO Chicago to be nomi-
mated, why should Harker, one OF the lead
ers in the free silver movement, be so anX-
ious to convert his surplus into gold even
to the extent of paying nearly " per cent
premium to get it? The incident is Great
Ing a profound impression upon republicans
who had been inclined to vote fer free sill

Halloween, flag day and William ].
Bryan attracted an immense crowd to
Council Bluffs yesterday. The combined
rally, holiday and folklore celebration all
combined to make 1T "a day long to be re-
membered in this city: Every building was
decorated with flags and pictures OF Me
Kinley and Hobart Buckner and Palmer
and Bryan. The free silver leader had no
visible running mate. In the decorations
The free silver men had made SUPER
human effort TO have a great rally and they
succeeded. Their claims of a crowd of from
$4,000 to $4,000 dwindled down to about OOO
or 5000 from out OF town and a goodly num-
ber from the city, From most of the sur.
rounding towns good sized delegations came
in. The one from Missouri Valley, num-
bering about 300. came with a brass band
This was a more than welcome acquisition
as music was at a premium. From Persia
came about 100 with several musical in
struments and they led the parade In the
afternoon. This proved a decidedly poor at
tempt and the two blocks of marching men
with about twenty horsemen from the coun-
try townships failed to attract much more
attention than the motor car that brought
up the rear. Another delegation from Gar
ner township arrived after the afternoon
street parade was over, This cavalcade con
sisted OF twelve young women and four men
dressed as women, all In white, and one
young woman In gold, representing the free
silver shibboleth, "16 TO l." This parade
