President Andrews of Brown University Sees Nothing in the Way of Free Coinage
 by Us Alone.

Boston, June 26-(Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati nquirer)-President E. Benjamin Andrews of Brown university has written the following letter on the money question to Stephen W. Nicker- son of Boston, Mass.
 'In yours of the 20th instant, after ad- verting to Cernuschi's latest position touching the policy of the United States in freely coining silver at 16 to without waiting for an international agreement, you ask what, if any, objections I would urge against this policy. I reply that I would urge none. The vast new output of gold in recent years. as compared with that of silver, impresses me that free coinage by us alone would not lead to displacement of our gold; that, therefore, free coinage would be safe.
 If it is safe it is certainly desirable Of course, no one can be absolutely cer- tain that we could proceed with silver free coinage and yet retain our gold. l therefore do not dogmatize, but leave that to the gold men. To my mind. how ever, the overwhelming probability is that gold would stay with us. I have noticed of late no serious argument to show that 1t would not"
 : President Andrews has hitherto oppos- ed free coinage unless by international agreement
