This 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. , J. c. cakmsij:. .1.

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.

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 and OrganizeBryan and Chicago 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.

Dolphin to West Point and return for the purpose of giving the distinguished visitor an opportunity of viewing: the seenery along the beautiful Hudson nnd also of witnessing a drill by the cadets of the military ucademy as well us an Inspection of the academy Itself. It had been announced that the Viceroy would also review the Meet ' war ships assembled In hi.t honor off Tnmp kinsvllle, but (Jeneral Kuger explained that such un extension of the pro gramme would be iinpt actlculde. It would be crowding too touch into the events of one duy and must neces sarily prove fatiguing; to the Viceroy. It has not as yet been decided whether or not Admiral Bunce's mug uUicent lleet will bo favored by a visit from the Viceroy. 1A Hung Chung, w hen he boa riled the Dolphin this morning went ut once to the main cabin, where he greeted the others ot the party warmly. After a few pleas ant exchatiKes with Jeneral Knsrer a id Colonel Giant, the Viceroy expressed a wish to go out upon the upper deck. He was accordingly wrapped up In a hutje maroon cloak or dressing gown by his attendants and a lursra arm (hair placed In the center of the poop deck, where with a lat-fje Turkish ruit at his feet and heavy woolen Hhawis wrapped about his nnkl s. he sat aud dialled pleasantly for the greater part ol" the journey up the liver. LI Hung Chang immediately began to display an Interest in his surround ings and his Inexhaustible supply of questions begun to pour forth. In passing the navy yard the Chinese Hag was hoisted on the old wooden ship Vermont while the saluting battery on the Cob dock tired a salute of nine teen guns. The Viceroy then caught 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 water front Is being used to Its fullest capacity by an energetic people; it is wonderful." The tomb of General Grant was now In view, and the ambassador rose, as aid nil of the party, while the Dolphin was passing Klverslde Park. The Dolphin saluted by dipping the ensign and fiiinir a general salute. 1.1 Hung Chunpr, uf tei the tomb had been passed, declared that he had seen the tombs of I'etei the Great and William the First, but this was the finest of thein all. He declared in his frank way that the temporary tomb should be torn down. Comma udcr Clever, of the iJolphiii. then presented bis staff to I.I Hung Chang, and the lat ter Immediately began a long; linu of questions concerning the navy. it began to rain pretty heavily before the Dolphin reached West Point and I.I Iiiiiii; Chang decided not to go usshurc. The Dolphin droppeii anchor here at 12.4U. about 'MO yards from the landing. At Ihe decl; was stationed Company 14, battalion of engineers aud cavalry de tainment under command of Captain Maker, the latter to act as escort. Al ter the arrival of the Dolphin there was u delay of fifteen or twenty minutes, and then General Kiiyor and three of his uldes ctiiue uwhore in a row bout. i.1 KKMAI.VS ON THH HO AT. General Kuger reported that Karl 1.1 declined to come ashore on account of the ruin. MessaK' S were sent to and from the Dolphin and the utnhns sador finally consented to permit his youngest son to hi ml, with only a few of his sulle. The Kami's son and interpreter oc cupied a carriage with Colonel Knist ami General Kuger. Then followed a dozen oilier carriages, each with an army cWcr and Chinese representa tives. A salute of s.-venteen Kim a was tired. A hurried trip was made around the post and the guests tln-n returned to the Dolphin, which took up anchor and started buck to New York. There was no Incident of note on the return trip, nil hough the Viceroy was greatly Interested in the speed of the N"W York Central trains. Winn the Dolphin, on lis return, reached Thtrtj -fourth street and the North river a crowd of people lined the adjacent wharves, anxious to gt u glimpse of the great Celestial Whom the nation Is just now entertaining I.I Hung Chang thanked the otbeers of 1 lie Dolphin throiif-h his Interpret er for their courtesies and as he left Ihe dispatch boat another salute was tired and the Chinese imperial llarf was lowered. He was driven to hM hotel at once.

STATES1NSSIP flcKINLEY Free and unlimited coinage of sil ver means the debasement ot our currency. The dollars w ill belong to Ihe de positors of silver bullion. Who will be responsible for tho parky wnn gold? The government will Incur no obligation concerning them. We are not a nation of classes, but a- slurtly, free, independent, honor uble people, despising the dema. gogue and never capitulating to dishonor. Protection has lost none or Its virtue and importance. Good money never made tlniej hard.. We have today more silver than gold. If our labor was well employed, ami employed at us remunerative wages as in ISDl', In a few months every farmer In the laud would feel the glad change in the increased de mand for his products and In the better prices which he would re ceive. No one suffers so much from cheap money us the farmers and laborers. We are not enemies but friends. The Wilson bill lacks the essen tial virtue of Its creation the rais ing of siiltlcleat revenue to supply the needs of the government. The farmer does not get his cus tomer through the mint but through the factory. 1 do not keow what you think about It, hut I believe il is a good deal better to open up the mills of the I'nited States to the labor of America than to open up the mints of the I'nited States to the silver of the world.
