In the City of Brotherly Love.
WASHINGTON, Sept 4-Li Hung Chang
arrived at the national capital from Phila-
delphia last night. Although he had not
had an opportunity to visit Cramps ship
yard Ii found Charles II. Cramp, the head
Of that establishment, awaiting arrival
Mt the station in Philadelphia. He greeted
Mr. Cramp affectionately, and engaged
him in conversation for about ten minutes.
In reply to a question Mr. Cramp told Ii
that he was not only the president of the
company, but the designer of all its ships.
| "What have you done?'
81 have designed more ships and
/ greater variety of them, than any other
man in the world, +" was Mr.. Cramps re-
ply
Ii inquired closely regarding the class
of ships built at the Philadelphia yard
and then said II find that most of the
nations build their ships in England and
France. Why is itY"
Mr.. Cramps response was that there
were various reasons for this condition.
As general thing, he said, the countries
that buy ships in England do so at the
behest of Tloneyed syndicates and bankers
who have financial interests, which make
it more desirable to them that English
shipyards be patronized.
Ii ended the interview by inviting Mr..
Cramp to visit him in Washington,
At all of the stations along the route

crowds being at Wilmington and Balti-

At dusk he partook of his first meal on an
American railway train. This consisted
of Virginia corn cakes, chicken bouillon
and tea The supper was not prepared by
the viceroys private chef, but was gotten
up by Frank Thomson's cook, who is
famous for his corn cakes. Ii ate with
relish, and declared himself satisfied with
his meal.
Later on he selected George w. Boyd,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, rs the object of his
questions, and for half an hour piled him
with queries concerning railroad manage
ment and construction, the average life of
bridges, cars and rails what qaality OF
= steel is used, and the salaries paid the va
: rious grades of employees. Ii asked Mr.
Boyd how much he received, and when
given the figure declared that it was not
enough.
On the arrival of the train in Washing

: chair and four stalwart porters carried
"a him to his carriage.

The Scientific American has reached
the mature age of fifty years, 1t is
therefore with commendable pride
that its editors and proprietors have
prepared special Anniversy number,
with four times the usual number of
pages, to celebrate the occasion,
This number contains reviews of the
progress made in the last fifty years
in the sciences and the arts, gives
historical sketches of some the most
notable inventions during this period,
and is filled with interesting illustra-
trations. Among the subjects treated
are: The Transatlantic Steamship,
Naval and Coast Defense, Railroads
and Bridges, The Sewing Machine,
Photography, The Phonograph, Tele-
graph, Telephone, Iron and Steel,
Physics and Chemistry, Progress of
Printing, The Bicycle, Electric En-
gineering, Telescope, Ocean Telegra-
ply, Distinguished Living Inventors
(Portraits), Shipyards of the United
States, large group of distinguished
inventors, reproduced from an old
steel engraving, is presented, The An
niversary number is provided with a
characteristic cover, and is printed in
a style fully up to the regular issues
of the paper. It will doubtless be
generally preserved for future refer
ence. A very large edition of this
interesting number is being issued
All articles have been contributed by
specialists, and are of great value as
work of reference. In size, this
issue is equivalent to an ordinary
sized book of 442 pages. Subscrip-

That the free and unlimited coin
age of silver would make money
plenty is fallacy that three minutes
calm reflection will disprove. It is
conceded that gold would disappear
almost instantly, thus cutting off our
circulation one-half. Then the silver
would at once shrink to its bullion
value of SO cents nearly, so that the
amount of money IN actual circula
ton would really be but one-half the
present circulation of silver. OF
course more silver would be coined,
but it would take our minis, running
to their fullest capacity, at least fif-
teen years to supply the deficiency,
and in the meantime the panfcs of
'48 and 81 wouldn't be a comparison
to what would prevail.
So far as this question is concerned
the people have just begun to investi-
gate. They have heard the mouth
ings of a few hirelings, and have read
'Coin,' but once let them discover
the real animus of this movement and
they will proceed to squelch it as
they did the greenback heresy of
twenty years ago. This free silver
fever is disease that is destined to
af1ict the body polite for a short
time only. Even now it shows signs
of abatement, and we're it not for the
office thirsty element seeking to foist
the dangerous experiment, together
with their own personal services, upon
the country, it would have died out
long ago. Buffoonery doesn't gowith
the average American, neither will
an appeal to prejudice or national
hatred work such miracles as dema-
gogues of the Donnelly-Dobbyn
stamp fondly imagine.
The great majority of the American
people are too honest to seek to pay
their just obligations in deprecated
money; too intelligent to believe that
Legislative fiat can change the law of
supply and demand any more than
it can alter the law Of gravitation.
They are too patriotic to give their
sanction to policy that would drag
our country to level with the bar
barous and half idiotic nations of
China, India, japan and certain of
the South American nations.

AN ANSWER.
Some Sound Sense on the Money
Question.

To the Editor of the Tribune:
We read the effusion of the silverite
in the last issue of your valuable pa
per and own that we were greatly in
structed (D thereby. Aside, however,
from his knock at the monopolists,
he doesn't seem to be very definite on
any point, except that he has solved
the dominant political issue and is
sanguine the rest of the population
will fall in with his conclusions, pain
full though they may be. Through
out the article one can detect evil
dences of suppressed emotion over
that atrocious crime, that appalling
disaster of '73. Strange your CORE
spondent does not take his own adj
vice and investigate. He can doubt
less get some light on that great ca
lamity by reading the LA columns of
the Congressional Globe, devoted to
the subject and printed at different
times during the three years that the
bill was under discussion.
We think your correspondent has
been reading Mr.. Donnelly's speeches,
for he pictures capital "arrayed in
golden armor," making a crusade
against labor-a favorite smile of
Mr.. Donnelly's. He also warns voters
to beware of the "silver tongued" or
ators stumping in the interests of Wall
street, but is strangely silent about
the "silver-owning' orators who will
spout in the interests of the silver
kings of Colorado. Some of the lat
ter who understand finance will take
their pay in British gold, since more
than one-half of the silver mines of
the Western states are owned and

a slight figure in St. Louis. They
found that the center of attraction
was in the Populist convention, and
if it is was not for a reporter or two
nobody would ever know that they
were in session. We will admit,

tity that the government is able to
carry out that pledge. If the limit
upon the issue Of greenbacks were re-
moved, and they could be issued in
unlimited quantities, their value
would decline to that Of the paper in
them. If the free and unlimited
coinage of nickels OF cent pieces were
permitted by law, their value would
decend to the market value of the
copper and nickel in the one and of
the copper, tin and zinc in the other.
In the like manner and for the same
reason if the free and unlimited coin
age of silver dollars were permitted
the value of those dollars, or their
purchasing power, would fall to the
market value of the silver metal they
contained, and all the Legislative en-
actments which congress could pile
into the statutes could not give them
any additional value.
There is no mere theory about this.
It is statement of the facts of uni
versal experience in the history of
every civilized country on the face of
the earth which has ever attempted
to debase it's currency and raise the
current value of the cheaper coin by
legislative enactment to that of the
dearer one. The experiment is no
knew thing. Before the kings and
governments of Europe understood
the laws of money they tried hum
dreds of times this very experiment of
trying to raise the value of debased
or cheapened coins to the value of
the better money by law. In every
instance it was failure, and the fle-
quent resort to these attempts by ar
bitrary royal decree or legislation to
raise the value of debased currency
was the cause of such currency dis
orders and losses that they were COM
PEELED to abandon them and to recog-
nize the invariableness of the law that
the cheaper money drives out the
dearer, and that except in this way
no legislative enactment can give any
value to the metal contained in any
coin beyond it's market value.
Morris tribune., 1896-07-29

The following editorial clipped
from the Pioneer Press is self explain
tory and worth the careful perusal
of every free silverite. 1t is to the
point and convincing, and is plain
enough to prove to the most skeptic
that the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to lis not what the people
want:
Morris, Mimi, July 24,-To the
Editor: Here is fallacy advanced
by local Populists in defence of fiat
silver, They claim that the govern
ment fixes the value of gold by max
ing 22,23 grains equal dollar, there
fore silver may be raised to par by
legislative enactment. Please explain
fully. e. B. L.
The answer to this Populist non
sense is that, if all the coinage laws
in the United States were repealed
tomorrow, and all gold coins in the
United States were melted into bull
lion, every 22.23 grains of pure gold
contained therein would be worth the
present equivalent of one American
gold dollar in every market in the
world, less the small charge for coin
age, which is one-ftth of one per cent;
that by the stamp upon the gold dol
lar the government merely certifes
to its weight and fneness; viz,
that it contains in all 25.8 grains of
gold and alloy, of which one-tenth is
allDr and the remaining 1928 grains
pure gold, and that whether the gov
eminent called it dollar or a ducat
the metal in it would have exactly
the same value in the markets of the
world that it has now, and would
have the same purchasing power.
On the other hand, if silver dol
lar were melted down the 37125
grains of silver iu it would be worth
exactly the market value Of the silver
bullion in it and no more; that is to
say. at the present market price, about
So cents in every market in the world.
The silver dollar is now at par with
the gold dollar for the same reason
that nickels or greenbacks are at par
with gold; because the faith and cred
it OF the government are pledged to
mtiutain them al par with gold. and
] e 'anse they are so limited in guam
