Lippincott's Magazine for Aua lst, 1896,

The complete novel in the August
issue of LiRpincoHs is "The Great X.
& A. Train Robbery" by Paul Lei
cester Ford. The scene shifts from
one part of the West to another; the
action has some rapid and surprising
tu.ns, especially when the actors are
considered; and the result is an emf
nently readable and lively narrative.
Cierinda Pendleton Lamar is cvi-
IDENTITY at home "In Louisa County"
and writes with full knowledge and
affection. Her story brings vividly
before us the rural Virginia of old,
with its hospitality, its unworldliness,
its primitive and peculiar charm.
Golden Rod and Asters," by Meth
Boyce, is tale of youth renewed
after long interval, and of middle

1t was the Office boy of whom Evan

one of life saving and sacrifice.
George Montbard, a French artist
now in London, tells of ga Maj 'ow
Escape" which he and comrade had
during the Franco Prussian We, the
result of rash adventure on the out

Francis Lynde was once imp-udent
enough to spend ga Summer on the
Gulf Coast" Those who read his
vivid description of that experience
will wisely determine to follow the
general custom, and go there only in
winter.
"Heraldy in America" may appear
to many an unpromising subject; but
Eugene Zieber has much to say in
exposition, defense and praise Of it.
Rhoda Gaze writes of " immigration
Evils" and sustains her argument by
figures and facts rather than by dec
lamation.
"The Federation of Australia as

Owen Hall tells about it all that an

Emily Baily Stone returns to her
favorite theme in 'The Woman Ques-

though in rudimentary and inchoate
form.
James Knapp Reeve finds a sum-
mer subject for laudation in "The

What is Free Ooinage2

About the most difficult thing be
fore the American voter to-day is to
understand what Free coinage means.
The New York WorH has a score of
apparently earnest inquiring people to
answer every day, but still there are
others who do not understand it. The
WorM says
1t seems Incredible that there should
be anybody not informed on this
point, but apparently there are many,
and so we answer the question.
A silver dollar weighs about sixteen
times as much as a gold dollar Wnen
the ratio was established for the coin.
age of gold and silver dollars, it ap.
proximately represented the market
value of the two metals. An ounce
of gold was worth about sixteen times
as much as an ounce of silver. Now
an ounce of gold is worth more thar
thirty times as much as an ounce o.
silver.
Under our law, whoever owns gold
bullion can take it to the mint anc
have it made into coins without any
cost to him. That is free coinage Of
gold. The gold thus coined is worth
a dollar, irrespective Of the stamp, al
over the world. The silver men de
mand that we shall do the same thing
fer silver without any change of ratio
that is to say, that every owner Of
silver shall be permitted to take it tc
the mint and have every 50 cents
worth of it stamped as dollar, though
it would be worth only its bullior
value outside the United States.
That is what free coinage at r6 to
1 means.
