On the Maintenance of the Parity Between Gil J and Silver. IN ANSWER TO MANY INQUIRIES The Secretary Writes on the Bubject "The Government Will Do Whatever Its Moral Obligations and Express Declara tions Require It to Do." BAtt lUnnott, Me., Bopt 16. Socrotnty Curllslo hj.9 written the following lottor on tho subjoot of tho mnlntcnunco of the purity between gold and silver: Mr. JumosP. Holm, L,ou1bv111o, Ky. My Dear Sir; Your letter asking how tho b11 vor dollars, which oontnin a qunntlty of bullion coromorclnlly worth only about llfty-thrcoconts oach, nro maintained at a parity with gold, notwithstanding tho fact that tho govornniont does notdlroctly rudooin thorn, or tho certificates lssuod upon them, In gold, Is received, and aB n groat many Inquiries upou the snmo sub ject nro addrossod to mo dally from dif ferent parts of tho oountry which It is Im practicable to answer In detail, I will an swer thoni all at onco. All tho standard silver dollars Issued from tho mints since tho pussagoof tho act or luto, now amounting to moro than visss, 000,000, havo lon coined en public no count from bullion purchased by tho gov' crnmont and are legal tonder In paymont of all debts, public and private, without regard to tho amount, oxcopt when othor wiso oxprossly stipulated In tho contract bstwoon tho parties. They bolong to tho government whoa coined, and tlioy nro paid out by the government nt a parity with gold for property nnd sorvloos of all hinds, nnd recolvod from tho people nt a parity with gold In the paymont of all public duos and domands. The govorn niont has made no discrimination what ever boiwoon tho coins of tho two motals, irold having been paid on Its coin obllea- lions when gold was domandod and silver .having boon paid when suvor was do- .niahdod. Under this policy tho coinage has been so limited by law nnd the policy of tho 'treasury department that tho amount oolnod has not becomo so great as to drive tho moro valuable coin, gold, out of uso, ana thus dostroy tho basis at our monc' tnry system i and so long ns tho two metals are of unequal commercial value., at tho ratio established by law, this limitation upon tho coinage is, in my opinion, abso lutely essential to the malntonanco of their parity In elloctlng exchanges. If the limitation woro removed conn denco In tho ability of the govornmont to prosorvo equality in tho oxchnngonblo value of tho coins would bodostroyod, nnd tho parity would be lost long boforo tho amount of silver colnngo had become really excessive. With froo and unlimited colnngo of silver on account of private Individuals and corporations tho govern mont would bo under no mornl obligation to maintain the parity, and, moreover. It would lx) unable to do so, because tho volumo of overvaluod sllvor forcod Into circulation by u legal tender provision would soon oxpel gold from tho country or put such a premium upon It that It would ljo Impossible to procure nnd hold In tho treasury u sufficient amount to provldo for tho redemption of silvor on presentation. In ordor to maintain the parity under such conditions the govornmont would bo compolled from tho beginning to oxchnngo gold for silver dollars und tholr paper rep resentatives whonover domanded, just as it now oxchnngos gold for Its own notes when domanded ; and ns tho coinage of silver dollars would be unlimited and, therefore, constantly Increasing, a point would soon bo reached whom it would bo impossible to continue the process of re demption. Tho Implied obligation of the govorn mont to proservo tho vuluo of tho money which It coins from Its own bullion nnd for Its own uso, and which it forcos Its cltUons to recolvo In oxchango for tholr property and sorvlcos, has boon supple mented by two statutory declarations which substantially plodgo tho publlo faith to tho malntonanco of that policy. The act of July 14, 1800, aftor providing that tho secretary of tho treasury should under such regulations as ho might proscribe ro doom the treasury notes issued In tho pur chase of sllvor bullion, In gold or sllvor coin at his discretion, declares that It Is "tho established policy of tho United Stutos to maintain tho two motals on a parity with each othor upon tho prosent legal ratio, or such ratio as may be pro vided by law," and tho act of Nov. 1. 1B93. ngaln declares It to bo "tho policy of tho United btutcs to continue tho use of both gold and silver us standard money nnd to coin both gold nnd sllvor into money of oqual Intrlnslo and oxchnngoablo value, such equality to bo secured through In tcrnutlonnl agreoment or by such safc guurdsof legislation as will insure tho maintenance of tho purity of vuluo of tho coins of the two mutals und tho oqual power of every dollnr nt all tlmos In tho markets und In tho payment of debts." With knowledgoof those assurnncos, tho people have received thoso coins und have rollod confidently upon tho g6od fulth of their government, und thoconlldonce thus inspired has been a most potent factor In tho malntonanco or tho purity. Tho publlo has Iwou satlsUod that, so long as our present monotary systom Is presorvod, tho govornmont will do. whatovorlts moral obligations and oxpross declarations re quire It to do, nnd vory largely ns a con- sequonco of this continence In tho good fulth of tho oxocutlvo authorities the sil ver coins havo not depreciated In value. It is not doubted thut whatever can bo law fully dono to maintain equality In tho ex changeable vuluo of tho two mutals will bo dono whonover it becomes nocossary, and although silver dollars and silver certifi cates have not, up to thopresont tlmo.boon received In oxchango for gold, yot If the timo shall over come when tho parity can not bo othorwiso maintained such ex changes will bo tnado. It Is the duty of tho secretary or tho treasury, and of all other publlo officials. to execute In good faith, tnu policy de clared by congress, nnd whenever ho shall bo satlsllod that the silver dollar cunnot Ik) kept equal in purchasing power with tho Hold dollar, except by receiving it In oxchango for the gold dollar, when such exohungo Is demanded, It will bo his duty to adopt that courso. Hut if our present policy Is adhored to, and the coinage Is kopt within reasonable limits, tho means horetoforu employed for tho malntonanco of the purity will doubtless bo found sufficient In tho futufo, and our silver dollars and pllvcr certificates will continue to circulate nt par with gold, thus enab ling tho pooplo to u.so both metals Instead of one only, us would bo tho caso if the parity were destroyed by freo colnngo.

HE IS BEING HELD AS A FUGITIVE Wanted by the Philadelphia United States Circuit Court on the Same Charge Upon Which His Brother, llarry, Was Arrested Hero Sunday Morning. Tho case in which the Yarowski brothers, of town, are involved is becoming widespread In its effects. Tho arrest of Harry arowskl in town Sunday morning, by Constable Thomas llolln, on a warrant issued by the Unitod States Circuit Court nt Philadelphia, was but tho beginning of a long chase, llarry 1 arowskl was taken to tlio I'ottavMle jail Monday night. Immediately nfter his de parture his friends et up a cry that nn innocent man hail been nrretcd and that the real culprit was llnrry's brother, Charles, but none could say where he was. Tho United States authorities aro evidently ns well, if not better posted in tho case than the friends of tho accused. They not only hold Harry Yarowski in custody, but ar rested Charles at Dcs Moines, Iowa, lato Monday night. News to this effect was re ceived in town. Tlio latter arrest was made by detectives under direction of tho United States postal authorities, who had Charles undor surveillance for over two months, but did not wish to take him in custody until one of tho brothers in this county could bo arrested. Charles arowskl was lodged in tho county jail at Dps Moines Mon day night to be held pending the arrival of ' detectives from Philadelphia. He at once sent for a lawyer, who tried to get Yarowsky beforo tho United States District Court with a view to forciug his releaso beforo tho Philadelphia officers could arrive, but tho detectives at onco took tho prisoners before Federal Commissioner Mnson, whero ho was charged with being a fugitive and tho Dis trict Court will have no power to release him On tho 20th of March, last, Charles Yarow ski was arrested by Dotectivo Amour, of town, on a charge of hnviug fraudulently procured from one W. L. Molly boots and shoes valued at ?L15.I0. i arowskl procured tho goods under the alias of Bernard Wilson and had them shipped to Hummclstowu, Dauphin county. Isadorc Lauterstein, of town, gave bail for larowski's appear otico in tho Dauphin county court, but Yarowski disappeared and was not heard of again until tlio nows of his arrest nt Des Moines wns received.
