COMMISSIONER BETTs' REPORT.

Hartford, Oct S.-Insurance Commis- sioner Betts to-day filed his report of receipts and expenditures for the year ending September 30, 1896. There has been some talk that the commissioner had been somewhat extravagant in the discharge of his duties, and for this reason a comparison of this years re- port with that of the previous year shows that, in the face of the necessity for increased work, the balance which is turned over to the state treasurer is $2,500.
 In 1895 the receipts were $62, ,697.17 and the expenditures s26,1S6.1S, leaving a surplus of $36, 6,51099. This year the re- ceipts were s67,S7O.7O and the eNpendi- lures $33, ,7S1.12, leaving surplus of S34, 4,089.5S.

EDITORS LETTER BOX.
To the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
Mr.. M. A. Porter, in his speech at the
opera house on Thursday evening, after
twitting his competitor with ignorance of
the financial question and pluming HIM
self on his own acquaintance with the
facts involved in it, 1t being so full and
accurate that he needed no authorities
outside of his own head, made some SIN
gular statements which do not square
with either authority or history.
One was that Jefferson stopped the
coinage of standard dollars in 1906 to pre-
vent these overyalued coins from dfiv-
ing gold out of the country. If so, then
James Madison, who wrote the order,
did not know it, for in his note of May l,
1906 to the director of the mint, ordering
the stoppage. he gives, as Jeffersons rea-
son expressly, that purchases of these
dollars had been made, and other pur-
chases of them were likely to be made,
for export, and to stop this export of sill
yer dollars-not of gold-no more silver
pieces larger than so cents were thereaf-
ter to be coined at the mint. See coinage
laws, U. S., page 81.
Another unique statement was that af-
ter the coinage ratio was changed from
10 to to 16 to /, gold then being over
valued, drove silver out of this country.
Yet the record just cited shows (page $50
that up to 1849, when the tide of gold
from California set in, our minis coined
about as much full-weight legal tender
SllNeI DIS SOlQJ anu II 10 Well hHOWh ny
middle-aged and elderly citizens that, be-
sides this silver, a very large proportion
of our metallic circulation was made up
of Mexican, Peruvian, Bolivian, French
and Spanish silver coins, probably many
scores of millions of dollars in value, which
by our laws were an unlimited legal ten
der for all debts and demands until 1857.
1t is news to some of u.s. at least, who re-
member the familiar devices and appear
ances of those ugly, rudely coined dol
lars that there was no silver here from
1887 to 1878.
Another surprising fact ~ of Mr. Por-
ter's emission, if not his coinage, is that
I'VE have fifty times more silver and
more money at large now than we ever
had" This Is cheering~-if true. We had
in 1873, according to the most reliable es-
Inmates, about $105. 900 900 of silver. Have
we now as much as $5,250, 100000? Are
we unconsciously maintaining that sum
at parity with gold? If SO, can we not
calmly face the terrors of free coinage
by an effort and still preserve the ''p-a-r-
i-t-y?" But If we have all this money will
the orator kindly locate it, and tell us
how to get at it? Is it not. as his antago-
mist intimated, in the wrong place? What
does he mean by more money at large"
anyway?
Several other strange things were said
by Mr. Porter, but these will do for this
time With one question, / will close.
If Cunningham is Ignorant on the fnan-
cial issues of the day. when can he learn
anything from Mr.. Porter?
BULLION.
