THE ACT, OF rs.

If in the act of February ~, 1881
ste d of stealshily dropping out the
silver dollars and putting the gold dol
lar in its place, we had changed our
ratio to the French ratio, which was
then the prevailing ratio in Europe, by
apdiDg eight-tenths Of grain to the
weight OF the gold coin, or taking 123
grains from the weight of the silver
coin. France and the Latin United
States would not have closed their
minis against silver, and this silver
question would never have arisen. The
accession of this country to these BIZ
metallic states, in the coinage Of both
metals upon the same ratio, would
have prevented their rupture, and sill
yer and gold would have continued
side by side upon parity with each
other upon that ratio in the worlds
money stocks rs they had been since
1903. NJ. Cernusehi, in expressing to
our monetary commission, Feb. 6,
1877, bis opinion upon this subject
(Nomisma,page eo), said that If France
and the Latin Union should then open
their minis to the free coinage OF both
metals at the rate Of 154 to !, and the
United States should do the same, il |
would undoubtedly insure absolute
parity between the metals Of that rsls.
tion. 1t is true, he added, that ole
United States should resume specie
payments" (Which was done Jrn. /, |
1879, "and that France should not be
left alone to absorb the silver thaler
Of Germa. ~" which would not be tls
case with the United States as her eff.
fective ally.

VALLEY PRESS CLUB.

We heartily agree with our respect

tor. who, in leading editorial, advo.
Gates the organization Of Valley Press
Club.
We have been O member of every
State press club from the formation OF
the Virginia Press Association in 1872,
when that nestor Of the Virginia press,
James A. Cowardin, was the prime
mover in the organization of the asso-
ciaiIon and it's first president.
We had the honor Of serving our
brethren as president of the first asso-
citation for nine successive years. The
present Virginia Association was organ
lied in the city OF Roanoke in 1888.
We cannot agree with the Spectator
that it is dead. II is tie livelieSt cCrpse

We believe that q local association OF
