A Mixed Gold and Silver Dollar

A Mixed COLO ana SllVer DOlldr
A correspondent writes to say
that he thinks "all the trouble about
the silver dollar could he ended by
adding as much gold to the silver
dollar as would make it equal to
the gold dollar" No doubt the
silver dollar could he made worth
100 cents by putting some gold into
it as suggested, but the silver
question exists for the reason that
a certain number Of people want a
so cent dollar. They don't want a
l00-cent dollar, whether Of gold or
partly silver and partly gold. There
are others who want an honest
dollar, but are taken with the
theory of bimetallism and have
fervent faith in the power Of gov
ernments 10 give value to pieces Of
metal by calling them money
Their faith leads them to prophesy |
that if the United States were to
decree that 50 cents worth Of silver
shall be worth 100 cents, it would
actually be worth that all over the
world. Its iaith-an honest faith
which ignores all the facts Of the
recent history of silver, it, increased
production, It's enlarged use and
decline in value. But people fam
iIiar with business conditions lack |
this faith. They know the silverites
are wrong, and that j.. tie reason
no compromise is possible. If the
wanted the free coinage |
of silver dollars intrinsically worth |
a dollar they would propose a ratio
80 10 |. To that ratio many
sound money peop'e would assent.

Some of the popocrats are still trying
TO account for their defeat last year
AT one time the National democrats
were responsible for it; at another the
money which Hanna used did the work
hnt they continue to close their eyes ana
refuse to recognize the truth. As soon as
the platform of their party was adopted
at Chicago, the defeat of the party De-
came certainty. Such principles as
there enunciated will not receive the
support of a majority of the American
people.

Bishop Merrill Chosen to Preside
Over Baltimore Conference.

Baltimore, Nov. .. The bishops or the

last Wednesday, have been holding their
seuii.a nnual meeting al Mount vernonPlace

They vii, next meet officially on May A..

a number OF the bishops left the city
last right, while Others will not depart
until TO-DAY. They seemed deeply appre-
ciative Of the hospitality of which they
have been the recipients since they a.
rived in Baltimore. Everyw here, they
said, they were given most cordial Wei
rome, AMI all W lio were seen united in say
ing that their visit to this city had been
z most enjoyable one.
or the subjects considered by the bish-
ops there was not one in which more in
terest was manifested by ministers and
Ia sinen alike than liz the plan of episcopal
visitation This work has engaged the at
tentirh Of the bishops for some days, anu
was o'ly completed yesterday afternoon
Conferences in the East meet in the spring
Willie the Western conferences do not :
sembIe Until the fall. Owing to this m
Management the bishops are compelled 20
come together twice a year and arrange
Among themselves VINO Snau preside over
the different conferences.
The conferences which meet In the spring
ar. much fewer i'm number than those
which assemble later in the year. There
fore, the list Of those who will preside over
the spriIlg Conferences, which was coTl-
pleted yesterday, is not AS large as the one
which they will lie called upon To arrange
ut their next meeting. Contrary To the ex
pectat ions OF many, Bishop John NJ Walden.
Of Cincinnati, WAS not assigned 90 preside
over the next meeting " the Baltimore con-
ference, which will tie held in Washington on
Marcel. 10. Instead, Bishop walden Was
designated Ia preside over the conferences
in Europe.
Bishop Stephen NJ Merrill was chosen to
preside over the Baltimore conference. He

The Ohio situation though still IN doubt.
rather lcaued ward Republican success
last night. Dispatches were conflicting.
and, If the Democratic sweep inthe cities
should be as great a. has been predicted,
the oGtccme may bea surpriseto the Hanna
management. IL even is possible that th;.
weather may exert animpOrtant Influence
Comparatively speaking, Hanna is strong

mining localities and large cities. Irthers
SHOULD he heavy rains throughout Ohio, a.
predicted 10y the Weather Bureau, that
wOulc tend much to Reduce the agricultural
vote, and correspondingly would depress
Republican chances. The election of the
Republican candidate for governor seems
assured, since Democrats have largely
traded their man Chapman, for Legislative
votes, to beat Hanna. But then, it is quite
likely that Hanna people have done Some
trading, coo, as be is unoOnceTned about
Bushnell, while very anxious for a Repub
lican legislature. In Maryland, affairs were
badly mixed. Senator German was re
ported as sa1gune about carrying the
legislature, while Democrats were ia doubt
about Baltimore and other cities, w herethe
