"UnaIterably Opposed ?"

Last May, the Democratic State con-
vention which met TO select delegates 10
the National convention, passed the fol-
lowing resolution unanimously:
We are 10 favor of firm, unvarying
maintenance of the present gold stand
ard. We are opposed to the free coin
age of silver ut any ratio and to the
compulsory purchase OF silver bullion
by the government.
We believe that the interests OF the
people demand that the earnings of
trade, agriculture, manufacture and
commerce, aud especially the wages Of
labor, should be paid in money of the
greatest intrinsic value and OF the high
est standard adopted by the civilized
nations OF the world. We are, there
fore, unaltorably opposed TO all devices
and schemes for the debasement OF our
currency.
The so-called Democratic convention
that met in Trenton last Wednesday (only
four months later passed the following:
The Democratic party OF New Jersey,
in convention assembled, ratify and in
dorse the National Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago, and the candidates
nominated thereon.
The financial plank OF the Chicago
platform .'ratified and endorsed" reads
thus:
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage OF both gold and silver at thu
present ratio OF 10 to l, without waiting
for the aid or consent Of any other ma
ton We demand that the standard
silver dollars shall be full legaltender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public
and private, and we favor such legisla
ton as will prevent the decentralization
OF any kind of lcgal-iender money b.
private contract.

Explanatory Statement.
1t lis Pursuing an Independent In
quiry and lis as Yet In the In
vestigation Stage.

Secretary Malet-Prcvosu, Tor the Venezu-
elan Commission, yesterday afternoon is
sued the following statement:
During the past week reports have been
industriously circulated to the effect that
the commission has reached q decision with
reference to the boundary question favora-
ble TO Venezuela. This having been denied,
the report has been circulated in another
form, and il is now asserted that while the
commission, as body, has reached no
such conclusion, the commissioners individ-
ually entertain the vic ws referred 10.
at must be evident to all that so long as
anything remains to be examined and con-
sidered the commissioners are not in q
position to form an opinion respecting the
merits of the controversy. AS a matter of
fact, neither the commission nor the in
dividUGl ommiSsioners are as yet in pos
session of all the evidence.
THE papers presented by Venezuela are
but part of what has been promised. The
Blue Eook of the British government, while
rema arkably fun and detailed, does not in
cludc all the documents which may be adj
commission has not and will not limit IL
self TO the consideration OF what those two
governments may present; it has been en-
gagged upon Independent lines of inquiry,

REPLACING OLD SILVER.
Heavy Loss on the Subsidiary Coins
From Wear.

Heavy Loss on the Subsidiary Coins
From Wear.
All the Old and worn subsidiary silver
coin Of the United States will soon be
replaced by the new dcsgnadopted in 892.
The progress being made In that direction
by the United States mints is most en-
couraging to Treasury officials.
For some years past, efforts have been
made by the Treasury Department to keep
the subsidiary silver coin i'll good con-
ditton. With this view appropriations have
been obtained from time to time, to re-
imburse the Treasurer of the United States
for the difference between the face value
Ofworn subsidiary silver coin, md what they
would produce when transferred TO the
mintS for recoinage.
Since 1890 the amount of such coin of
worn and uncurrent and subsidiary coin
transferred by the Treasury TO the mints
for recoinage has amounted 10 $29, ,642,
3S4. The value of the same in new sub
sidiary silver coin is $2S, $50, ,745, show
ing a loss by wear of 81, ,106, ,636, which
was reimbursed to the Treasurer of the
United States from appropriations made
by Congress for that purpose.
The amounttranSferred from the Treasury
TO the mints from July 1, 1898, to De-
cember 81, S9o, was larger than for any
other period amounting in the aggregate
TO $50 ,964, 1852 face value, and producing
in new coin, $40, ,115, $50, showing a loss
OIL recoinage of $S4S,S ,S43.
