WHO GOT THE OTHER HALF?
An Inquiry Growing Out of a Trans
 action in Silver.

Shortly before District Clerk Ed win s. Gill left Washington he was permitted by First Assistant Post master General Heath to copy curi- ous letter which had just been re- ceiyed at the postoffice department. would attend the adoption of 'the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent of any other nation on earth" a thing so peremptorily de manded by the silverites and popn- lists a year ago.
 The letter is as follows:
 ''Rawlins, Wyo., June 2, 1897.
 First Assistant Postmaster-G Gen eral: A P. o. money order for $5 was sent by Paul Madsden from Raw lins, Wyo., on July 30, '96. to me in China and of which I got only about one-half I think because the order did not say (golO or how much in foreign money, and so I was paid in silver. Now I would like to know who got the other half and if possible how to recover.
 'Very respectfully yours,
 @. J. MADSDEN.
 Lock Box 152, Rawlins, Wyo"
 Mr. Madsden does mot state what kind of silver he was paid in, but pre- sumably Mexican, since that is in more extensive circulation in Chinese ports than any other. Even the Amer ican trade dollar was unable to force it out. He was certainly not paid in standard American dollars, or he would have had no cause of complaint, for the stand ard dollar having a gold basis is as good as the gold dollar in China or anywhere else among civilized or half civilized nations.
 But that is not reply to MT. Mads- den's two inquiries, "who got the other half' and "hod will he get it back" A rascally employe of the Chinese post office no doubt got the other half. MT. Madsden cannot get it back at all without first precipitating an inter- national controversy, to which this country will hot consent for two dol lars and half The postoffice in Wyoming where the money order was purchased received $5 and when the order in due course is returned will pay $5 and be square. MT. Madsden is out and the Chinese postoffice clerk is in. His misfortune, though it was brought about by individual rascal lty, is only an illustration of what would naturally happen to Americans abroad if the gold underpinning should ever be removed from American sil- Ver
