A silver dollar contains 371.27 grains of pure silver. A gold dollar contains 23.22 grains of pure gold. The weight of the silver is 16 times the weight of the gold; hence, we say they are in a ratio of 16 to 1. The money standard of this country to-day is the gold dollar. Every Treas ury note, every national bank note, is a promise to pay dollars equal in value to the gold dollar. The value of the gold dollar is what 23.22 grains of pure gold is worth as bullion. But 371.37 grains of silver, which is the amount in a silver dollar, is not worth as much as 23.22 grains of gold. The latter Is worth a dollar; the other is worth about 53 cents at present prices. Therefore, to admit silver to free and unlimited coinage would resnlt in a change of the money standard. Instead of the gold dollar being the standard, the silver dollar would become so; and, instead of its passing for the same as the gold dollar, it would be actually worth only what the silver in it is worth as bullion. All our paper money would depreciate to the same degree, because it would be redeemable in silver dollars. The Republican convention, at St. Louis, declared that it adhered to the present condition, that it is opposed to the free coinage of silver at 16 to I, be cause of the results, stated above, which would follow. "Bradstreet's" definition of the term is as follows: "The unthinking and unreasoning de mand or cry for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 seems to be based, in part, on sentimental grounds, inas much as that ratio was established by the coinage act of 1837. So much mis conception and ignorance exists as to what the expression 16 to 1 means as ap plied to the coinage of silver dollars, that it may be well to restate it. The gold dollar is composed of 23.22 grains of pure gold and 2.58 grains of copper alloy, 25.8 grains in all, and the silver dollar is composed of 371.25 grains of pure silver and 41.25 grains of copper alloy, or 412.5 grains in all. The ratio of the 25.8 grains of gold (and alloy) Ito the 412.5 grains of silver (and alloy) is as 1 to 16, and practically a similar ratio exists between the number of grains of pure gold and pure silver in the gold and silver dollars. "Commercial bar silver at New York was quoted at 68.75 c. per ounce of 480 grains on the 13th inst. The value, there fore, of the silver dollar on that day may be expressed by 371.25-480 of 68.75, or 53.17 c. Hence the 53 cent dollar. Divid ing the number of grains in the ounce [4Bo] by 25.8 grains, the total number of grains of gold and alloy in a gold dollar, an ounce of gold dollars is found to be worth $18.60. A similar calculation with reference to an ounce of silver dollars makes it plain that the latter is worth only one-thirtieth ot the value of an ounce of gold dollars. In weight the silver coins are sixteen times heavier, but in value only one-thirtieth as much. "When the ratio of 16 to I was estab lished in 1837 it represented the actual or nearly the actual value of equal weights of silver and gold dollars. To day, as shown, the ratio of value of the silver dollar and the gold dollar is al most one-half what it was at that time." MEXICO is a silver standard country. There are few of our readers who do not know the value of a Mexican dollar in this country. We invite the attention of our readers to the following extract from an exchange. The Mexican silver dollar contains 377 V grains of pure silver. The Ameri can silver dollar contains 37 grains of pure silver. Hence the silver in the Mexican dollar is worth a little more than that in the American dollar. The Mexican dollar is worth no more in Mexico than here. Its value is simply the market value of the pure silver in it. Mexico is a silver standard country. The free coinage fellows want the United States to drop to the silver standard. Then our dollar would be worth only its value as bullion. It would buy a little less than a Mexican dollar. The reason our silver dollar buys as much as a gold dollar now, is that the government practically redeems them in gold. That is, the Tre*sury will ex change greenbacks or Sherman notes for silver dollars; you can then take the notes and have them redeemed in gold. THE whirligig of time brings in some curious happenings. Who would have thought a few years ago that David B. Hill would Ije the champion of president I Cleveland in a Democratic Convention; and who would have thought, after Cleveland had been three times the Presidential candidate of the Democracy, a Democratic Convention would refuse by an overwhelming majority to indorse his Administration? A GREAT convention of the millers of the hast will be held at Williamsport, Pa., August 19th and 20th, under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Millers State Association, when topics of vital interest to the trade are to be discussed. A Dynamite Platform. The newfPopul'stic,'Anarchistic, Demo cratic platform is full of dynamite. It throws a bomb against almost every bul wark of Government and every safeguard of society. It assails the Supreme Court of the United States and practically demands that it shall be forcibly reconstituted and overturned in order to reverse its decision against the constitutionality of the In come tax. It demands legislation to destroy the obligation and sanctity of private con tracts. It insists upon the repudiation of plighted public faith and the confiscation of wages and savings by compelling the acceptance of a 50-cent dollar for 100 cents. It strikes at the foundation of all monetary security and stability by de manding not only free silver coinage but unlimited fiat paper money. It assails the national banks which are so interwoven with our whole business fabric and proposes to annihilate all national bank currency. It denounces the assertion of Federal power for the maintenance of order and the repression of riot and virtually de mands a free field for riotous outbreak and mob rule. It condemns the exercise of judipial autnority in restraint of assaults upon the public peace and upou private prop erty, and holds that the hands of the courts should be tied in the face of im bruted rioters. No such sweeping and monstrous cru sade against law, honest}*, private security and public safety was ever be fore embodied in a party platform. SOME people appear to think that the gold standard is something new in this country, and that the Republican part}, in declaring itself in fayor of its mainte nance, is doing something revolutionary. Such is far from the truth. We have had the gold standard constantly since 1853. It is impossible to have two stand ards of money unless the ratio between them is in exact accord with the market ratio. The minute one metal is under valued even to the smallest fraction of a cent, that minute it ceases to circulate. It is worth more as bullion, and in con sequence is not taken to the mint. The legal ratio by no means fixes the market ratio, although such a claim is set up by the advocates of free coinage. All exper ience, however, proves the contrary, The only possible way in which a fixed ratio could be maintained between the two metals would be by an agreement between the principal commercial nations of the earth to make it a legal tender at a certain ratio. The Republican party pledges itself to promote snch an agree ment. The Paris Exposition of 1900. | Exhibitions have come thick and fast in the closing years of the nineteenth century. The more frequent industrial displays of states, cities and provinces have been the background which has served to show up the stately splendor of the less frequent international fetes— they are nothing less—such as that at Paris in 1889, and again at Chicago in 1893. At the close of our late exposi tion, which was universally admitted to have been more extensive, complete, and artistic than any that preceded it, it was predicted that the limit had been reach ed, and that nothing on a like scale would be again attempted. Yet, as a matter of fact, before the blackened remains of the Chicago l*air are well cleared away, it is announced that the arrangements are complete for what is to be the most elaborate and brilliant industrial display of the cen tury. If any people but the French had made the promise, those of us who had the privilege of seeing the proportions and beauty of the architectural display at Jackson Park would be prepared to doubt its fulfillment. There were not wanting visitors to our exposition who complained of its size, and suggested that a smaller display of selected ex hibits would be more effective and in telligible. If the Parisians are aiming to gather a yet larger collection of ex hibits, there is danger that it will be come bewildering and oppressive in its proportions. That the display of archi tectural and landscape skill in the build ings and grounds will be of a very high order goes without saying in a city So rich in artistic talent as Paris; and yet we very much doubt if any grouping of buildings in the Renaissance and later French styles, however skillfully carried out, can be made to equal the chaste beauty and dignified repose of the noble group which composed the Court of Honor at Jackson Park, IT is just as natural that the bankers should be for sound money as it is that a good lawyer should be for the laws aud the constitution, or that a doctor should favor true medical science in preference to quackery and should love truth better than error and superstition. It is natur al that all men who understand the true nature and functions of money should be horrified at the deliberate, willful and premeditated attempt to debase the coin, a thing that in all times and under all circumstances has proven pernicious and disastrous. A CRUSADE against hokey-pokey has been going on in London for some years past, shocking accounts of the millions of microbes found in the mixture being published from time to time. A member of the health board, however, analyzed a strawberry ice cream bought of one of the most fashionable West End caterers recently, and found that it contained from eight to fourteen million bacteria to the cubic centimeter, among them the bacillus coli, which is a worse record han that of the Italian street venders. An Arch Fiend Hanged. A special from Pikeville, Ky., says: News reached hare yesterday from Coe burn, Va., to the effect that Mary Snod grass was hanged at that place last Fri day for the murder of her child. The Snodgrass woman was a disreputable character and was compelled to leave this place on that account. She went to Coeburn where her child was cared for by negroes until it was about a month old, when it was turned over to its mother. She did not want it and tried to get rid of the child in various ways. The county judge told her that she would have to provide for it and she took it to her home. One night about midnight some peo ple living close bv heard the little one screaming. Black smoke was seen issu ing from the chimney and the door was burst in to ascertain the trouble. The child had been placed in the fire and the mother was holding it in place in the flames with a long iron poker. It was burned almost to ashes. The inhuman mother was arrested and placed in jail. The infuriated people wanted to lynch her but the promise of speedy justice caused them to allow the law to take its course. She was tried and convicted of murder in the first degree. The parents of the woman live in this county. She was married to a worthless man when she was about 16 years old and soon separated from him. She was about 28 years old. Better that the feet slip than the tongue. The Populists. St. Louis was tVie scene of another convention, this week, that of the Popu lists. The number of delegates was liyge, — over iooo—and they promptly divided into two factions—i. e. —those who wish ed to endorse the nomination of Brvau for President; and those who wished to nominate a candidate of their own. These latter were called the "Middle of the road" people. The Brvan people controlled the Na tional committee, and named Senator Butler of S. Carolina for Temporary Cha'tnan, Monday, a thing that the "Middle of the Road" people did not like, but concluded to stand. Brvan's friends were working industri ously but met with determined opposi tion' from the Southern delegates. Judge Hiues of Georgia said to one of Bryan's men. •You shall not crucify us -upon your free silver cross," "nor press down upon our brows a crown of Democratic thorns. We have fought our way out of the Democratic party, and we know its cor ruption, its friends and its political in tolerance. Another delegate declared that the Populists would not permit themselves to be "crucified between free silver Demo crats and gold bug Republicans as our Saviour was crucified between two thieves." Nearly all the hotel orators followed the example Mr. Bryan set at Chicago. A Georgian declared that the Popu lists of his State would not "vcte for the Savior of mankind on a platform com posed of the 10 commandments, if the ticket bore the name of Democrat.' That night the "Middle of the Road" men were claiming 290 majority. The Bryan men said their candidate will have 150 votes to spare. Neither side knew. At noon, Wednesday, the convention met in the same hall used by the Repub licans. Ignatius Donnelly, Gen. Coxey, Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease were prominent figures in the crowd. Senator Butler's opening speech was vague; he took no sides with either faction. The roll of states was called and the commit tee on credentials named, and that was all that was done that day. That night the "Middle of the Road" people seemed to have, and claimed the most votes, but the Bryan people had the Rest leaders and had an organization. "We have the organization and the votes," said Mr. Simpson with emphatic verbal garnishment that is not proper for a family paper, "we have the organiza tion and the votes and we will win. The Populistic ticket will be Bryan and Sewall." THAT decision of Justice Willard, of the Superior Court, holding to the right of a defendant who is indicted because of the act of his employe to testify that he was not a party to the offense, is, in our judgment, good sense and good law, but there is one class of cases in which such testimony has never bee.i permitted as a defense. The case in which Justice Wil lard decided was where liquor was sold in Butler against the law, by an employe, and the principal was indicted. He of fered to prove that he not only did not know of the offense, but had specially warned his employe against anything of the sort. This Justice Williard says should have been permitted to go to the jury; and the court below, for refusing this evidence, was reversed. —Dispatch. Ireland and Scotland. DUMBABTON, SCOTLAND. JULY Btb, 189 G. ED. CITIZEN: Perhaps yon 3an find room for a few lines li< tn the old world which I first touched al Londonderry, Ire land, a week ago; ai.d sp6iit two da; » there, and the greatest object of interest, was the old walls built in 1600 and still i* l a very good state of preservation generally The people from "Dem " to Belfast seem all tine and heathly though of short stai nre, and I havn't seen & sallow face in Ire land in my four days travel in that coun try. I attended a County Fair at Derrj and saw specimens of Durham and Acgn • (Scotland) breeds of cattle, much large: and liner than anything I had ever Been H' homo, one cow that would give 20 quart at a milking, and sheep equally fine an' gome had wool as closely curled as ai.j African's hair, and some said to shear froii 12 to 15 pounds of wool. The horses were not generally as g -0.-» as I've seen at fairs at homo, but a harp* jumping exhibition the same day I s •* some very beautiful animals that leupeii very gracefully over hedges and stone wall from 3* to feet high, but the riders gen erally seemed very imported according to our standard. It took Buffalo Bill and his cow boys to show Europeans how to ride. At the Bank of Ireland in Deny they willingly took some American gold at par for their money. I visited the giant s causeway, 40 miles from Derry, and it is a yery great natural curiosity, and thence to Belfast 85 miles, passing through a beauti ful and lertile country all the way. The crops were mainly oats, hay, pota toes and turnips. I saw iioine scare crows in a potato field and learned that the Irish crows actually scratch out and eat pota toes. In a framed bill of fare at D. station I counted 19 different kinds of drinks for sale including cyder, and 4 different kinds of tobacco and 4 kinds of food. The lack ot closet conveniences in the cars in this country is simply barbarious and brutal, but the street cars are a great improvement on ours, having seats on the top, and a neat Utile stairs at each end so one can take a deck or cabin passage at will at the same price and can ride a long way for a penny. I spent a day at Belfast of 300,000 population, and a very fine busi ness city where I'm told no one needs want for ©mploy ment. 'J to© shop® of the White Star line are built there. I lound Robinson's Tempeianco Hotel on Donegal Sc, a very pleasant place to stop. Leaving there at 8 p m. by steamer, I reached Glasgow, Scotland, of 700,000 population, at 7 next morning, aud proceeded to visit Mc.Alpine St., of that city, which however is cot a very beautiful of pleasant avenue. The Clyde with its immense ship yards and nnmerous great iron and steel foun dries in process ol construction is a very interesting scene. Dumbarton, the home of my grand lath er, who left here before the Revolutionary war, is a sunny Scotch city of 17,000 and famous for its rock 2,400 feet high with Its old castle on tue top where the sword of Wallace has always been kept till 3 years ago it was removed to his monument at Sterling 30 miles from here. Monday I visited the city of Ayr, and the cottage where Burns was born and lived, and will not attempt to describe the many sacred relics still perserved, but saw in a glass case where a part ol the M. S. of Tam 0 hhanter is kept and bis brass can dlestick and punch ladle, also a small clipping trorn a newspaper with *he follow ing tribute to Burns: "Though Scotlaud boasts a thousand names, Of Patriot, King and Peer; TH9 noblest, grandest of them all Was loved and cradled here. 'Tis but a eot roofed in with straw, A hovel made of clay, One door shuts out the sun and storm, One window greets the day; And yet I stand within this room And t old all thrones in scorn, For here beneath this lowly thatch Love's sweetest bard was born. Within this humble hut I feel Like one who clasps a shrine, When the glad lips at last have touched, The something seemed divine, And here the world through all tho years As long as day returns, The tributo of its love and tears Shall pay to Kobert Burns." "An American" I asked the woman in attendance the name of the author, and was much aston ished when she answered. "Col. Robert Ingersol." I visited today, 7th, Loch Lomond, con >iuered one of the most beautiful lakes in the Highlands; and 12 miles trom where we took tho little steamer and half way to the end of the Loch I landed at th? foot of Hen Lomond, the highest mountain but one, Ben Nevis, in the Highlands, aud in company with a brawny Scotchman, some years yonnger thaD ui7»elf (but who gave out several times before we reached the summit and only continued on my urgent solicitation) we tinially reached ttie high est, point, 5 miles from our starting place in 34 hours, and tired, don't scarcely ex i press our condition, »nd at that time a dense cloud which extended far below us completely extinguished us, but a short time before we had a yiew of vast extent and of surpassing beauty and grandeur which can only be realized by those who have seen it from where we stood. Tt re called thw glories of Alaska. I go from hero to .Edinburgh and thence to London, and sail from Liverpool to Quebec, and houie via Toronto and Buf falo. Youra very truly, V. McAlmke.
