The following was lv. .ved today In

whether the treasury department ever

letter was written to Secretary Carlisle
from the facts, Bsserted by muny speak
ers, that the silver dollar was kept at
a parity w ith olil by reason of the fact
that It was redeemed by the treasury In
gold on demand might be refuted.
Hon. Chillies Piuilkiicr, Washington,
1. C.
My dear sir. Your favor of the Ist
Inst, reached here during my ubseiice
and hence the delay in answering.
So far aw 1 have been able to ascer
tain neither the treasury department
nor any sub-treasury has ever bi-en
called utHin to redeem silver dollars in
gold. At the sub-mii-mry in San Fran
cisco H often happens that silver dol
lars are ia.ld out In exchange for sliver
dollars In small amounts, but this sim
ply occurs in tho ordinary transaction
of business at the place and for the
purpose of accommodating the public
with money of small denominations.
It is not in any sense of the iterin a re
demption of the silver dollars in gold,
or of the giild in xllver. The result of
all these transactions at that sub
treasury Is than the government gains
much more gold than It loses.
Very truly yours.

Washington, Aug. III. The arrival of
1 Hung Chang In the nation's canltal
will not be characterized by any ofilclal
proceeding whatever on the part of this
government. That Incident closed with
the ceremonies in New York on Friday
last. The statesman from the Orient,
upon his arrival here early next Thurs
day evening with his 'suite, will be es
corted directly to the Arlington hotel,
where the distinguished party will be
domiciled during their stay In Wash
ington and where they will enjoy the
privacy they consider requisite, com
bined with nil the coin fori s and luxury
commanded by a llrsi-dass American
hosllerv. The apurtments they will oc

the Infanta Isabella on the occasion of

Is agreeable to the ambassador, he will
have presented to him all the members
of thediplomatic corps now here.whlle it

MEXICO UNDER A SILVER STANDARD. !
An Interview w ith the Met ican .Minis
ter of finance.
St. l.nuls, Aus. Id.--Senor .lose Ives
liimantorr, tin- Mexican minister of
finance, Is in St. Louis, and in an Inter
view this niorniiiK he talked freely of
evlstins conditions in Mexico under the
silver standard. l!e drew comparisons
between the laboring man of the Tidied
States and Mexico and showed how a
li ee silver monetary system would af
fect tho I'nited States.
"Legally we have a double standard
In Mexico," said Mr. Linuiutour. "but
practically it is a silver standard, as
there is no gold in circulation. Every
ounce of gold we produce is Immediately
drawn out of our country by foreign
nations. We coin silver nt the ratio of
Hi'-i to 1. We do not coin gold, bill as
quick as it assumes its bullion form. It
leaves Mexico () Is locked up III our
vaults as the property "f foreigners.
- "Mexico has had four gold bond is
sues since ixsx. and a number of domes
tic silver bond issues. The gold bond
Issues aggregate anout $HK.0"0,(iOO. Most
ot the bonds bear C per cent. Interest.
The Interest on the gold bonds amounts
to about $fi,fHu,0no In gold annually, but
when tho time pomes around to pay the
Interest we have to Rive up Sli.uOu.oiMl of
our money. So we really pay double in
terest on our loan. Then, the question
presents Itself, what amount will It take
to redeem the bonds at maturity? it is
a guess now as to what wo will owe
at the time of redemption. If silver
goes up we will owe less; If it goes down,
It will take so much more of our money
to pay our creditors. It's all according
to what our dollar will bring In the mar
kets of the world.
"What Mexico wants most today Is a
fixed price of silver. What we fear
most Is the continual fluctuations of the
white metal. With silver up and down
alternately, our merchants cannot make
calculations for future transactions. In
a commercial sense, we live from day
to day.
"The silver standard In Mexico acts
the same as a high protective tariff. It
shuts out foreign competition and has
allowed our . home industries to crow.
We have two elements in Mexico, The
exporters, who send to the other coun
tries great quantities of coffee, tobacco
and fruits, want to see silver kept down,
as they receive gold for their exports,
and with that gold they can purchase
about twice the amount of their sales In
.Mexican money. The consumers want
to see the price of silver rise, for then
the silver dollar which they carry in
their pockets would be worth more, and
they would not have to pay so much for
foreign goods, much of which is
shipped into the country."
Senor I.liuantour was asked: "How
would Mexico he affected by the five
coinage of silver In the I'nited States?"
il- replied: ".Mexico would at first bo
Injured on account of the great fluctua
tions which would naturally follow a
declaration of this character, but in the
long run Mexico would be benefited by
free coinage In this country."
REFORM DEMOCRATS.
New York Gold Men Meet at Syracuse

Platform Denounced.
Syracuse. Aug. 31. The Pemocratlc
.,.'.. it. .ii'iniilvitl..h hol.l ui.itc .win-1
ventlon here today and elected dele
gates to the Indianapolis convention.
An adjournment was tr.Uen until Sept.
24 to meet in Hrnoklyn, when electors
ami ix state ticket will be nominated.
lCx-Sej-retary of the Treasury Kalrchild
was permanent chairman.
Mr. Kuirehild's denouncement of the
Intention of the ltulfalo Democratic con
vent Ion to endorse the Chicago nomi
nees in older to preserve the regularity
of tlilr organisation was enthusiastical
ly commended. tils declaration that
true uatriots should save the Chicago
leader s from their own unwise declara
tion was likewise well received. The
platform repudiates the Chicago plat
form mid the nominations of the t'hl
i ugo convention: deplores the outburst
of ser tional hate which attended the
adoption ef that platform, aud declares:
This phill'iuiii is accepted by the presi
dential nominee of the convention in
the spirit In which it was adopted. Kv
ery sp-Hi he delivers is lllled with in
llainniatory appeals to the poor against
the tii h in a base, tiii-Americau and
antl-Hoelnl effort to obtain votes by cre
ating and stimulating' a passionate class
hatred umong our people. We appeal
to our Democratic fellow citizens seri
ously to consider this, which is the grav
I'st feature of the pending' elections.
How long can our Democratic institu
tions endure if this assault upon them
succeeds. The Chicago platform at
tacks the constitution, both in its letter
and spirit, threatens to overcome deci
sions of he supreme court displeasing to
the party caucus by packing the court
through an Increase of the number of
judges, thus striking n deadly blow at
the vital constitutional principle of the
Independence of the judiciary. I'nder
the guise of resenting federal Interfer
ence In local affalrs.lt ltnnlicltly con
demns the exercise f the constitutional
powersi of the federal executive to pro
tect the transportation of the mails, to
Insure freedom of commerce among the
several states and to enforce the de
crees of the federal courts when resisted
by foree and riot.
In proposing to open the mints of the
I'nited States to the free coinage of sil
ver at the ratio of 1G to 1, w hen the rela
tive mprket values of silver and gold
are nv in the proportion of .12 to 1, the
Chicago platform threatens a partial
repudiation of that public debt, the va
lidity of which the constitution declares
"shall not he questioned." It reaches a
climax of arbitrary interference with
Individual rights, which It seeks to
force its debased money upon the public
by fnrnlng contracts which provide for
payment, in any medium more value
than the depreciated legal tender which
it proposes In establish. It contemptu
ously omits all reference to the adminis
tration ol the only Democrat who in
this generation has had lie- presidential
olllce and whose integrity of purpose
and linn dcteriiiiimtinu to maintain the
nalioiUil honor h is been acknow ledcej
by all classes of his fellow citizens.

Vermont while the saluting battery
on the Cob dock tired a salute of nine

sight of the Brooklyn bridge. He was
In the very best of spirits and kept
up a constant run of queries with
those about him.
The entire Chinese party were very
much Interested in Colonel Grant's his
tory of the .bridge.
Turning his otlrntlon U the grent line
of docks on both sides of the liver, he
observed: "The American people are
a very busy race; all of this beautiful

capacity by an energetic people; it is
wonderful."

Free and unlimited coinage of sil
