THE QUESTION OF THE TWENTY
 DOLLAR GOLD PIECE.

A reader furnishes the figures given below as evidence that there is really and truly twenty dollars worth of gold in twenty dollar gold piece (more properly mentioned as a double eaglel. Figures do not lie; but nevertheless they sometimes lead us poor mortals into grievous errors. Taking the figures as given, it is admitted that they may prove what the reader thinks they do. But this paper contends that the predi- cate is wrong. Why is the value of pure gold $20.67 per ounce? Is that its value? If the United States will pay $20.67 per ounce for pure gold then that is it's value, because it can be exchanged for that many dollars and cents; but in such contingency certain proportion of the value is fictitious, because the mint adds to it valuable metals and the combined worth is only what the mint pays for the pure gold. As fact, how ever, the mint does not pay that price for gold. Extract the fine gold from five double eagles and it will not bring $lOO at the mint. Five mutilated double eagles, with no portion missing, will bring $lOO at the mint.
 Following are the figures given by the reader referred to:
 Double eagle, weight 5l6 grains.
 Coin value per gr., .03s7596, or $2O.0O.
 Troy ounce, 4S0 grains.
 Pure gold value, $2O.67 per ounce. Coin gold value, $lS.6O per ounce. Coin gold value, per grain, .0Ss7596. Pure gold value, per grain, .043O62.
 The standard fineness of gold and sil- yer is one weight alloy to nine parts of pure metal The alloy for gold is silver or copper; alloy for silver is copper. Silver dollar legal tenderl 420 grains. Silver dollar ttradel 4l2'i grains.
 Coin value per grain, .0026Oii6, as represented in silver coins. That is to say, if silver were worth only i0 cents per ounce the valuation per grain given on this coin would bc just one half, or su44es.Sa. ......

room there is china closet, which
reaches from the floor to the ceiling
There are numerous pieces OF antique
silver while on the shelves, around
the room, are fourteen plates. which
were presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
years ago. On the margin is the letter
&C" inscribed. The room is neat and
clean and commands view to the
east. Mounting winding stairs t1e
visitor finds himself on the second
floor. The generals bed chamber re-
mains the same today as when he
occupied 1t years ago. The bed stead
Is Of antique design, and the wnite
spread and pillows remain just as
they were left by the occupant. The
aim has been to restore everything to
its proper place and those who were
intimate with the Grant family l1ring
their residence here. affirm that this
has been accomplished In the most
minute particulars. Everything about
the house. within and without is
scrupulously neat and clean. There
is no accumulation of dust and dirt,
yet the rooms and furnishings retain
the appearance OF age and are full Of
curiosity and romance.
Captain Fisher, who has charge OF
the bui ding, is man who has seen
better years of life. His hair is white
as the drifted snow, yet he retains ex-
cellent health and a strong body and
mind. He is a veteran of the war and
knew General Grant personally. He
can recall his first arrival In this
city, when Mr.. Grant entered the EN-
ploy Of his father in the leather store
and tannery. He exercises the great
est care in guarding the treasures in
the building and loves to look upon
the sacred relics and give the visitor
every possible bit of information re-
garding their history.
The old name as is we'll known, was
presented to General Grant shortly
after the war. But the general could
only occupy It for a few months, as
the voice of the nation called him
again, and he was forced to leave
hts quiet home among the picturesque
hills Of the lead mine city, and go to
Washington to fill the presidents
chair. The Grant memorial hall, as the
home is now known. will be further
improved in few months, and will be
visited by thousands of people, who
love the old warrior whose presence
made It sacred. and who has long
since passed to the other shore Of the
Great river, from whence none may
return.
