control the silver product of the coun-
try. The mines in the copper trust
produce over half of the output of the
country, and the lead smelters control
large percentage of the remainder.
Contrary to the popular idea, there
never has been surplus of silver bull
lion in this country. The only surplus
of silver that has ever existed was in
the silver dollars coined and piled up
in the treasury What has made silver
cheap heretofore was the fact that the
lead smelters sold their silver in CON-
petition with each other. The removal
of this competition caused the rise in
silver, and the manipulation of the
trusts is bound to make it go still
higher. 1t was at 64 the last time I
saw the quotations and believe it has
not advanced since. But it is in the
power of the trusts to advance it still
more and nothing can keep silver
down.
cit seems to me this will put the
free-silver democrats, who have been
taking up the antitrust cry. in con-
siderable of a quandary. Can they
fight trust which advances the price
of the metal for whose reconciliation
they are clamoring?
1.-The rising of silver, too. means in.
creasing prosperity in the west, and as
there is not surplus of silver. the price
can probably be maintained. With the
price of silver at figure which will

SteinitZ's Resignation from tho Manhattan
Chess Club.

DR.. Louis Cohn. Yice-P President OF the Man
haitian Chess Club. in q talk with a reporter OF
THE Sun yesterday about the resignation Of
William Steinitz asian honorary member OF
the organization. said;
I'VE do not want TO enter into any discus
sion with Mr.. Steinit2 us to whether lie was
justified in resigning from the club or not. SO
far as the present regime is concerned. its In
tention is to foster the game of chess in all
directions as far as the income of the club will
allow, and we shall try our very best to further
the interest of the game in general and the in
terest of the Manhattan Chess Club IL, particu-
lar by arranging II series OF Interesting con-
tests during our term OF office.
Regarding the speech quoted to have been
made by Judge Jerome some three years ago
on the occasion of the annual meeting OF the
club, which is said to have also induced Steinitz
to hand in his resignation at this late day.
Judge Jerome told the reporter OF THE Sun
that he had been misquoted. A 5 near as he
could remember the speech II was to the fol-
lowing effect:
Primarily the club was formed by gentle
men interested in the game of chess and TO
AFFORD them an opportunity of meeting in social
intercourse and In playing games with one an
other. 1t was not organized for the purpose OF
promoting professional chess. and so far as |
an concerned would much rather play OH
hand games with men of my own weakness
their game. | do not care a rap about match
games between professional PLAYERS as com
pared with the pleasure of meeting gentlemen
at the club and playing games which from a
chess STANDPOINT might he worthless"
At the time Judge Jerome made this speech
Steinitz was in st. Petersburg. playing in. a
uuadrangular tournament with lasker. Pills
bury and Tschigorin.
