THE COUNTRY’S COINAGE
: nn
HISTORY OF THE LEGISLATION
pit imeto
On the Subject. The Actsof 1853 and
1873 and the Reasons Inducing Them.
ier i
The second change of importance i
our coinage system was the reduction
made in the weight of the fractional
silver coins by the act of February 21,
1853. By the law of 1792 they had
contained the proportional parts of a
dollar, 4121 grains gross weight after
18387. By the actof 1853 they were re-
duced in weight to parts of 884 grains to
the dollar and coined only on Govern-
meat account. The provision for the tree
coinage of the silver doilar was not
changed. The effect of this act was to
restore the subsidiary silver coins to
circulation. From 1834 to 1853 it may
be remarked that but about 1,100,000
silver dollars were coined, and trom 1853
to 1871 about 8,000,000, making a total
since 1798 of less than 6,000,000.
During the same period. however, about
$125,000,000 of silver subsidiary coing
wore issued.
The Civil war led to the suspension ot
specie payments and the disappearance
of gold and silver coin from circulation.
The place of the former was taken by
the United States treasury notes known
as greenbacks, and the national bank
notes, and of the latter by the postal and
small note currency, or notes of less value
than one dollar. In his report in 1889
the director of the mint urged the restor-
ation of silver coinage for change in lieu
of the postal and small note currency as
the first step toward and an important aid
to a general resumption of specie pay-
ments. A year later he expressed the be-
lief that the product of silver in Nevaaa
and Colorado would be sufficient to meet
the demand. He proposed a very much
more debased kind of coin than that
formerly in use in order to assure its not
being hoarded for its greater value than
the small paper currency and so that it
would drive out the latter. The draft
of a bill embracing his ideas
was introduced by Mr. Sherman
in the Senate April 28, 1870.
It passed that bedy January 10, 1871.
and the House discussed it exactly one
year later and recommitted it. On Feb-
ruary 90, 1872, 1t was again introduced.
Its 16th section provided for a dollar
coin of 884 grains of silver 9-10 fine,
making it a subsidiary coin 1n harmony
with the silver coins of less denomina-
tions to secure its concurrent circulation
with them. It wasstated in the debate
that the office of the silver or subsidiary
coins was to supply the public want for
small change. They were to be made
tokens of value, not the value itself and
were designed only for exchange and
circulation at. home . up to, but
never in excess of the requirements
of trade. The House passed the bill May
27, 1872, by a vote of 110 to 18. It was
not till January 17, 1878, that it passed
the Senate witn 20 amendments. A Con-
ference Committee came to an agreement
and the biil became a law.
A month or two beiore the final passage
of the act of 1878, the Secretary or the
Treasury urged such alterations in it as
would prohibit the coinage of silver for
circulation in this country. He held that
no attempt should be made to introduce
the use of silver as currency, but that the
coinage should be limited to commer-
cial urposes and designed ex-
clusively for commercial uses with
other nations. Silver at this time had
begun tq depreciate and {ts use as cur-
rency had beén disconticued by Germany
and some other countries. In accordance
with the Secretary’s idea authority was
incorporated in the bill to manufacture
the “Trade dollar.” Section 21st of the
bill provided that any owner of silver
bullion might deposit the same at any
mint to b> I is bars or into dol-
lars of the weight of 420 grains Troy
and no deposit of silver for other coinage
should be received, the charges simply to
be the actual cost. It was made a legal
tender up to $6, but this provision was
repealed July 26, 1876. Still as many
of these coins were made after
this date as betore. From 1873 to 1875
they cost somewhat more than §1 each to
manufacture, and no one could use
them to advantage hegre, so that it was
only by exporting thet to China and the
Kast that the expenses of their coinage
could be met. In 1876 and 1877 they
cost less than a dollar to manufacture,
and as the public continued to receive
them at their face value, holders of bul-
lion found it profitable to have it minted
into them. f the total amount coined,
$35,965,924, one-fifth was redeemed at
its face value in exchange for standard
silver dollars or subsidiary coins under
the act of March 3, 1887. Nearly all the
remainder has been permanently ex-
ported, so that as far as our country is
concerned the trade dollar has become a
thing of the past.
‘The silver dollar fof some years prior
to 1878 had been worth about $1.03 in
gold. Since the passage of the gold coin
bill of 1884 the fine silver in a silver dol
lar had been worth somewhat more than
the 28.22 grains of fine gold in a gold
dollar and as a consequence the silver
dollar had not circulated in this country.
It was sent abroad or used as a con-
venient portion of silver in the lab-
atory of the chemist or hoarded as an ob-
ject of curiosity, The average amount
annually issued from 1839 to 1869 was
only a little over 100,000. Of the total
8,031,230 issued between 1792 and 1873
nearly one-half were made subsequent to
18656 and were manufactured
almost exclusively for export.
In 1804 when it became
apparent that these coins were not used
to form part of the currency, but were
exported to the West Indies, the adminis-
tration saw fit without the sanction of the
law to discontinue their yse. In 1873 the
officers of the government recommended
simply that authority to manufacture be
ay and it was so enacted in the
bill of that year, which also divected the
discontinuance of the coinage of the silver
hali-dime and three cent pieces. The pro-
vision in the act discontinuing the coin.
age of the silver dollar has since been
bitterly assailed as a conspiracy to de-
monetize silver, and it is said the bill was
clandestinely enacted. As the above
history shows, however, it was
under discussion for four years.
The great decline in silver
which subsequently took place could
hardly have been anticipated and-the
history of the coinage of the silver dollar
certainly seemed to warrant the belief
that it has not a necessary part of the
coinage.
Prof. Woodford, from whose excellent
article on the use of silver in the United
States in the July number of the Annals
of the American Academy much of the in-
formation herein has been drawn, says
the act of 1878 appears to have been an
attempt to remonetize rather than to de-
monetize silver. By the act of 1834
silver as compared with go.d had been
undervalued in our coinage and as a
consequence the people had used a gold
currency and "had practically de.
monetized silver. The only moneti-
zation took place under the act of 1858
debasing the fractional silver currency
and limiting the right of manutacturers
by abolishing free coinage and creating
the Government monopoly. The proposi-
‘tled, but did not move.
tion was made in 1869 to res‘ore silver
to its position as a subsidiary coin. Any
excess in the silver nroduct of the coun-
try for export was to be in the form of
the trade dollar. An American silver
coin had rever been the chief component
of American currency, but had been jong
used for subsidiary coin. It remain
then to bring the dollar into harmony
with the fractional coin, or to retire it
from circulation. The latter alternative
was chosen although the former had been
recommended. Provision was made at
the same time for the manufacture of
coin ot convenient form with quality and
quantity marked upon each, which could
be used in trade with countries having
silver currency.
The important effect of this law and
the provision of the revised statutes of
1874, which deprived th e silverdollar of
legal tender quality, was that they pre-
vented a use of silver which would have
inevitably followed the fall of the value
of silver in 1876 and the failure ot the
Greenback movement. Whether or not
this was a desirable result has been a
much disputed qucstion.
A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
rte
TWO CHILDREN AND A MOTHER
irre
Murdered. The Fiend Then Tried to
Cremate His Victims.
epee
A fearful triple tragedy took place during
the early hours of Wednesday morning at
Pittsburg, Pa., two children and a mother
meeting their fate at the hands of some
fiend.
It was about 1:30 when the Fire Depart
ment was called to extinguish a slight fire
in the house of John Souse, who lived on
Oak alley, on the side of the hill. There
was but a slight fire and the men had no
difficulty 1n extinguishing it.
Some of the members of the department
in Jooking about the house were horrified
at the sight of three dead bodies lying ciose
to one another. They were those of Souse’s
wife and two small children. There were
three ugly deep dents in the poor woman's
head which showed that she had first been
struck a deadly blow from behind, then the
fearful work was finished with some blunt
instrument, either a hatchet or a hammez.
The little children had the appearance of
having been smothered to death, though
their poor bodies showed marks of violence.
Their clothing was also burned a little,
though had they been living when the fire
started they wouls have had no trouble in
getting away from the small blaze.
he husband wus at once surrounded by
the firemen and the police were sent for.
He told a story to the effect that he had
been sleeping on the floor down stairs, but
was awakenened by smoke «nd ran u
stairs to extinguish the fl mes. It was then
he said, that he first discovered the dead
bodies of his wife and two children.
The police, however, havea different idea
of the crime and at once piaced Souse under
arrest. They were confident a triple mur-
der had been committed, and say that the
murderer set fire to the house to conceal the
crime. Souse is a laborer, 35 years of age,
and apparently very ignorant.
There was one more child in the family.
but by some means the little one escaped
the general massacre. The bodies of the
victims were taken to the morgue and Souse
was locked up to await an investigation by
the coroner.
The child who was saved is only 4 years
old, but the weeping boy told the olice
that his father killed his mother. ‘‘He hit
her on the head three times with the
hatchet,” sobbed the little fellow,
EXECUTED BY DEGREES.
Auburn Jail’s Apparatus Breaks Down,

At Auburn, N. Y., William G. Taylor was
only executed on Thursday by the second
attempt.
When all was ready the signal was given
and the current turned on. Taylor's power-
ful frame shotiback and up in the chair un-
til the straps creaked, and simultaneously
there was a crash. The strain upon the foot
rest broke and the underpinning of the
chair gave way. The body sank to a re-
clining posture, with the victim’s foot rest-
ing on the floor. The spectators were star-
It was supposed
Taylor was dead from the effects of the
shock, when a strange noise was heard.
He began to gasp for breath and saliva
exuded from his mouth.
“Turn on the currenr,’”’ was the command
from the warden and State Electrician Davis
tried to obey, but was dumfounded to find
noresponse to the turning of the lever. The
dynamo had broken down.
The labored breathing of the convict con-
tinued and his chest rose and fell convul-
sively, Davis hastened outside to the
dynamo to ascertain the trouble and found
the armature burnt out. It could be used no
more to-day. Taylor, who was now gasp:
ing and groaning aloud, was unbound.
placed upon a cot and carried into the ad-
joining room. His pulse grew stronger and
e endeavored several times to rise from the
cot. Physicians said he was unconscious,
precisely in the condition of a man stricken
with apoplexy. He would recover, they
thought, and the only way to carry out the
sentence of the lJaw was to again place him
in the chair. Linemen quickly connected
the prison apparatus with the electric light
plant, and in an hour all was ready for the
second electrocution.’
Taylor continued to grow stronger and
was given an injection of morphine. A
small dose of chloform was also administer-
ed. He was then carried bodily to the re
paired chair, and strapped into a sitting
bosture. Thecurrent was turned on, the
ody straightened up and for half a minute
1,240 volts coursed through Taylor's un
conscious form, and he was pronounced
dead. The first electrocution took place at
12:48 and the second at 1:55,

murdered. where both second term prison-
ers. Just betore the execution Taylor hand-
ed the warden a paper for publication.
Therein he apologized for doubting his at-
toruey’s character during the trial and says.
*'I got the idea in my head that I, being a
negro and a convict, and the victim being a
white, the trial would be nothing but a
farce. I shall not die as I thought I would
at the time of the crime, and of my trial,
but instead of hating everybody, I shall
have pity and sympathy for all people, for
I have learned that they all need it and are
worthy of it.”

A Poet's Turn of Luek.
When six years ago Joaquin Miller
went tc California and bought a tract of
land a mile east of Oakiand people
laughed, writes E. W. Bok. And for
it number of years the poet himself al-
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one of the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted of 100 acres, and nearly
ill of it lay on a steep and stony moun-
ain side. The eccentric poet went at
tbe cultivation of his new possession with
v1 will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to chow the hand of progress. But it
required work of the hardest kind. And
during all this time the land was fast
proving, even the poet almost believed,
the worst type of an *‘clephant.” Now,
bowever, the land is almost a park of the
most picttreeque order. Ont the poet
has planted 23,000 fruit trees, hundreds
of olive trees, and miles of rare roses.
Bprings were introduced; trout brooks
were stocked; walks and drives were
made. Water is plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on a Cali-
fornian place. The poet is now, I am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den-
ver in the winter, and four weeks ago
ome of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of the
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of his possessions
alone 1t is not unlikely that Joaquin
Miller may soon acquire a neat little in-
come. His place is in the direct grow—
ing Fne of Oskland, and the city 1s
gradually approaciing the poet's habita-
tion. He does but little work with the
pen, but devotes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation of his place and
the development of the industries possi-
ble from its products.—New York Re:
corder. :
The Vole.
A. H. McPherson, in the Zoologi. |,
quotes an interesting passage from
Aristotle to show that the great phi-
losopher was as well acquainted as we
are with the peculiarities and habits of
the field vole, whose destructiveness is
a cause of much tribulation to farmers
in Scotland as well as in the Pelopon-
nese. He speaksof their depredations
as ‘‘so seriour that some small farmers
having on one dey observed that their
corn was ready for harvest, when they
went the following day to cut their
corn, found it all eaten. The manner
of their disappearance, also,” he con-
tinuer, ‘‘is' unaccountable, for in a few
days they all vanish, although before-
hand they could not be exterminated
by smoking and digging them out, nor
by hunting them and {urning swine
among them to root up their runs.
Foxes also hunt them out, and wild
weasels are very ready to destroy them ;
but they cannot preveil over their
numbers and the rapidity of their in-
crease, nor, indeed, can anything pre-
vail over them but rain, and when this
comes they disapnear very soon.”
Sugar From cotton head.
The cotton plant, which has for so
mnauy centuries furnished a large part of
the population of the globe with cloth-
ing, seems to be almost without limit in
its usefulness, remarks a eclentific au-
thority.
From the sced a valuable oil is ex-
pressed, while the husks form an article
of food for cattle in the shape of cakes.
From the lint which clings to the seed
after it has passed through the ‘‘gin"
felt is made, while the oil extracted from
the seed is applied to quite a large num.
ber of purposes. But, according to tha
British Consul, Mr. Portal, of Zanzibar,
Africa, cotton seed is also capable of
vielding sugar. A process has been dis-
covered for extracting sugar from cotton
seed meal, and, though the details of
this process have not been disclosed, it
is said that the product obtained is of
very superior grade, being fliteen times
sweeter than cine sugar and twenty times
more so than sugar made from beet,
This indicates that sweetness is not due
to cane sugar, but to scme other chemi-
cal.— Scientific American.
Boiling Water in an Envelope.
“My. wife and I” says a traveling
man, ‘‘were once in a hotel where we
couldn’t get any boiling water. After
we had discussed the situation my wife
asked me if I had an envelope in my
satchel. I got one out, when she told
me to fill it with water and hold it over
the gas jet. I hesitated, but finally did
it, and expected to see the envelope
blaze up every momeat. But it didn’t
blaze. The envelope took on a little
soot but that was all. The water boiled
in time, and the envelope was as good as
ever when the experiment was at an end.
I don’t know the chemistry of the pro.
cess, but try it yourself and see if 1t
will not work.” —Chicaco Herald.
Just So; Just So.
The subtle line dividing genius and
insanity is so delicate that in many in-
stances it cannot be defined, it can only
be felt. Lven the deep researches of
physiological-psychology are unable to
designate principles on which the judg-
ment can depend for logical deductions
on the subject, and the searching analy-
ses and arguments of many erudite
students and philosophers are as incom-
prehensible and meaningless to the or-
dinary mind as the vain vaporings of a
mind unhinged.—New York Mail and

Dyspepsia Preventative,
An experienced physician is credited
by the Western Rural with the following
gratuitous prescription, faithful uee of
which, be avers, would do away with
dyspepsia eleven times out of twelve:
¢:People not habitually great eaters
are guilty of serious indiscretion in the
time and manner of taking food, Half
the people I know have violent attacks
of indigestion because they persist in
eating hearty meals when in an exhausted
condition. They seem never able or
willing fo realize that thers are times
when the system 1s in no fit state to
grapple with a full meal. They come
in tired and bungry, almost ravenous,
not thinking that maybe a good deal of
what they consider hunger 1s gastric
irritation, then sit down to a table and
overtax the already strained vital powers,
As a rule no person should eat when
very hungry. The wise thing to do is
to drink acup of water with three or
four tablespoonfuls of milk in, sit down
five minutes and then begin slowly to eat
and eat very sparinelv.”

“August
Flower”
I used August Flower for Loss of
vitality and general debility. After
taking two bottles I gained 69 lbs.
I have sold more of your August
Flower since I have been in business
than any other medicine I ever kept.
Mr. Peter Zinville says he was made
a new man by the use of August
Flower, recommended by me. I
have hundreds tell me that August
Flower has done them more good
than any other medicine they ever
took. GrRorGE W. DvE, Sardis,
