Why the Silver Dollar Passee for
100 cents in Gold,

There are two provisions OF law
which require the Treasury to
maintain the parity of gold and
silver dollars. The first is the in
cidcntal pledge in the Sherman
silver-purchasing act of 1890 that
it is
"The established policy OF the
United States to maintain the two
metals on a parity with each other
upon the present legal ratio, or
such ratio as may be provided, by
law"
The second is the provision in
the repeating act of 1893, declar-
ing it to be-in language borrowed
from the Democratic National
platform OF I892-
"The policy Of the United States
to continue the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money,
and to coin both gold and silver
into money of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value, such equality
to be secured through international
agreement or by such safeguards
of legislation as will insure the
maintenance of the party of value
OF the COINS of the two metals and
the equal power of every dollar at
all times in the markets and in the
payments of debts. +"
1t thus appears that not only the
obligation to maintain the parity
of all dollars coined on Govern
ment account, but the suggestion
of an international agreement, at
which some sound money men
very foolishly sneer, are both en-
bodied in the law of the nation.
This obligation has thus far been
observed, as Secretary Carlisle ex,
plains, by limiting the new coin
age of silver dollars to redemption
purposes and by keeping up the
gold reserve and accepting anc
paying out either coin as debtor.
or creditors preferred, Unlimited
free coinage on individual accoun
would remove the obligation O
maintaining the parity and at tn,
same time render it impossible I,

THOMAS JEFFERSON

In case free coinage of silver
should be established in this coun-
try, ! presume insurance compa-
nies and all other institutions
would continue to make their pay
ments by checks snd drafts on
banks, as heretofore; but, in my
opinion, the whole volume OF our
currency would sink at once to the
silver basis, and these checks and
drafts would be paid in silver dol
lars or their equivalent, instead OF
gold or It's equivalent, as is now
the case. |, G. CARLISLE.

without the Aid or Consent oI
any other Nation.

China is the favorite field oil sill
yer theorists who insist that the
laws of currency are suspended in
the Middle Kingdom because IT is
a little world in itself But in
China, as everywhere else, the
value OF the silver dollar steadily
diminishes and the attempt to
make people take it at its old
value has steadily failed.
His Excellency, the Viceroy
Chang Chib Tung, of Hang Chow,
has just been having an object les
son which shows how little truth
there is in the assertion that silver
has not deprecated in China. Two
years ago he began free silver coin
age in Wuchang. HIS dollars
were then worth 100 IN cash, the
copper coin which is in daily circu-
lation in China. In Two years this
dollar had dropped 10 $50 cash.
His Excellency, who can cut a
mans head off il he declines TO
maintain the value OF the dollar at
1000 cash IA privilege which would
be denied Mr. Bryan il he tried to
keep an ounce of silver at SI.2o),
decreed that his dollars should be
worth 1000 in cash. No one would
take them. He paid them to his
soldiers, and his soldiers were
given the privilege of forcing shop
keepers to exchange their goods
for these dollars, which he made
receivable for taxes. The result
of this neat and Ingenious arrange
ment is that his dollars were all
gathered up to pay taxes. He has
all his dollars back; their value in
open market has dropped little
more and his experiment in free
silver coinage has ended exactly
where like experiment would end
here.
In China the value OF the cash
was stationary because IFS coinage
has been suspended Here the
value OF our silver certificate, like
the dollars they represent, are sta
tionary because their interest has
been suspended. In Hang Chow, as
soon as the mint began turning out
SILVER dollars freely. they began tc
fall, as measured in a currency
whose value was not increasing
exactly as the silver dollar will fal
here when measured in gold, with
this very important difference, tha
there is no where else to take casl
to, and in this country gold will b'
at once exported While prices
will rise, labor will find itself losing

THO New Departure.

An ususual phase Of this years
political controversy is that we
find for the first time, the party in
power confronted with mutiny
within its ranks. BY the free use
OF gag law and packed and biased
committees, delegates to conven-
tions were dispossessed Of seats to
which they were entitled and others
favorable to the seceeders put
in their places. Precedents were
set aside. Time honored princi-
pies were discarded and new doc
trines enunciated. The officers OF
the administration whose party
name they assumed, were openly
and violently denounced and plat
form adopted at variance with the
traditions andpolicies of the former
declarations.
The administration wing after
calling County and State conven'
tions to elect delegates to Ma.
tional convention, met and reaf'
| frmed the old time doctrines and
principles and rebuked and re-
pudiated the new dogmas OF the
usnrpers, They also nominated
candidates, not with the eXpecta
tIon of electing them, but to pre-
serve the old organization intact

Eahzed truants may return after th'
November election, The mino
officials who are in open revol
against the principles of the olc
party and the policies and regu
lations of their department chiefs
| will OF course either have to takt
back seat when they return tc

tered remnant of the organization

rose in prices above those Of 1879,
The prices for each also arose in

THE question before Congress
is, whether it is now safe and ex'
pedient to offer free coinage to the
the silver dollar OF 4IaH grains,
with the mints OF the Latin Union
closed, and Germany not permit
ting silver to be coined as money
At current rates OF silver the
free coinage Of a dollar containg
4IaK grains, worth in gold about
ninety-two cents, gives an Hfsgih,
mate preff to the owner OF the bull
lion, enabling him to take MISTY
two cents worth of il to the mint
and get it stamped as coin, and
. force his neighbor to take i for .

unfair advantage which the Gov
y ernment has no rights 20 give TO the

defrauds the man who Is forced tc
