Must l furnish, under the free coinage
Of silver at ratio Of l6 to l, one ounce
of gold to be coined into money for every
10 counces Of silver to secure the coinage
OF the silver9 If the above proposition be
true, will this be the only way to main
tanning the parity between the two metalsP
L. e. r.
As we understand your question, you
want to know whether you would have to
present both gold and silver at the same
time In order to have them coined, or
whether they could be presented separate
ly. The latter Is the case. Under BIZ
metallism you take whichever metal you
have to the mint, and the officials hand
It back with the government stamp on 1t,
which certifles to its weight and fneness
The fact that the proposition you make
Is not true answers the last question in
your note.
What was the cause Of the demonetlza-
ton of silver in 1882 Was not an ounce
OF silver at that time worth more than slr
Is It not true that the demonstration
of silver is the cause Of its present valueS
NJ. M. c.
1. When a murder has been committed
it Is good policy in endeavoIing to detect
the murderer, to ascertain what person
would have had motive for such deed
II we can find a class of persons who
would have been interested pecuniarily
in committing "the crime Of 1873" it
may lead us to locate the perpetrators
The object OF the act of 1878 was to
render money scarce, and, therefore,
valuable. The persons who are Interested
In scarce or dear money are those who
hold obligations calling for stated num-
ber of dollars. 1t Is immaterial whether
you double the number Of dollars In q
debt or cut the price Of everything In two
In either event you receive an unjust
increment in value. Now. the bond
holders could not raise the number of
dollars for which their bonds called. That
would have been forgery, and would have
rendered them liable to the penitentiary
They, therefore, adopted the second plan
of raising the value of each dollar by
making the dollars scarce and thus de-
creasing general prices, so that the dollar
would purchase more. This scheme has
been so successful that dollar today in
this country purchases nearly twice what
1t would in 1878.
2. A standard silver dollar does not
contain an ounce of silver With free
coinage of silver an ounce of silver repre-.
sents Sl.29. In 1878 the price Of an ounce
of silver was s1.29. At that time the
silver in a silver dollar was worth more
than the gold in a gold dollar.
8. Undoubtedly. When you lessen the
demand for anything you decrease its
value. Prior to 1878 the demand for
silver was unlimited for coinage pur-
poses. In 1878 we shut Off the demand
altogether. Suppose gold had been
treated in that manner. 1t would have
declined In value the same way that silver
has The gold dollar would then have
been the dishonest dollar.

WET WEATHER
The Cause of a Farmer Committing
Suicide When He Saw His
Crops Ruined.

A. B. Fritz, famer, living near West
ern Star, seven miles southwest Of Akron,
committed suicide Friday afternoon by
hanging himself to tree by means of a
halter. Fritz has been in financial diff
culties for some time, and it is thought
that the injury to his corps by the recent
wet weather was the primary cause Of
his deed.

Would there be any profit to the govern
ment in the free coinage of standard sill
yer dollars @. T.. +.
A great many people fail to understand
that free coinage by our government is
not commercial transaction Coinage
is simply certifying by the government
that there are so many grains of gold or
silver in a certain coin. 1t is analogous
to what takes place when farmer loads
his wagon with wheat and takes IL to a
public weigher, who gives him written
certificate that the load contains so many
pounds Of wheat The public weigher
does not buy the wheat. No more does
the government, under free coinage, buy
the metal. The farmer usually pays the
weigher something for his services, but
the weigher might do it for nothing
Under absolute free coinage the govern
ment would change nothing for It's
services Usually, however, there Is a

After funerals in the order of Importance
comes the ceremony Of marriage. and it has
only recently acquired some prominence In
local custom. Until recently, as in most
sroplcal climates, the ceremony OF marriage
found little favour in the eyes of the lower
classes. The continued efforts made Ivy the
aathoriti"s to overcome the popular distaste
Tor an official recognition Of the marriage tie
has borne some fruit. though the result is
scarcely yet more than p%erceptible.
Births are of scarcely any Significance in a
country where the paternity Of the majority
OF the offspring is returned as doubtful or
unacknowledged.

The men dress in hot European longcloth
garments, mostly black in colour, and adorn
themselves with gaudy chains and orna-

To the natives Of Dsmerara who abhOr the
bare mention of a %poll-tsx, and would be
disposed to riot if the Government attempted
to impose it by law, it will be suggestive of
some thought upon the question to learn that
every man in Surinam has to pay q head-tnx
according TO the amount Of his income. A
man get ing $50 g%uiIderS has TO pay 6 guild
ers; when his income is over $50 and under

on the amount and the per CentaRe
