Cnicago, Dec. 5, —Will you allow me to say a few words more In your valuable paper upon the subject of honest moricy1 In our commercial systemn the unit of monay measures the valus of the varlous kinda of all other forms of property, The valus in money of adofinite purtion of any kind of property i expressed by this unit and the multiples sud fractions of it, Bythe Coluage act of 1702, this unit was called s doliar, and was ropresented by a stiver coln contalning 8715 grains ol pure sil- ver, Inmaking this coin tho unit of measure, tho law regarded hot the value but the quantity of pure metal It coutalned, In.this rospect it Isan unchanging snd invarfabie measure; but no legal enactment conld give to It any more than to any other form of property this character In reapect to its value.© Value s not a quality tint {nheres in a thing, and thercfore cannot ho lmpressed upon t. it arlses from comparing a thing with some-other thing, and isthat which will bo civen in exchange for It, For vxample, If & bushel of wheat wlil be given in excbanee for this sliver coin, thon the valuo of the coln exprossed in thas form of property 18 a bushiel of wneat, and_the money value of n Lushel of wheat {8 a dollar. - Being a form of proverty, and used for the purpose of effecting exchanres, Its value Is subject to the stimulat- Ing anid éeprmmx fufluences of the lnw of supply and demand. 1€ the sapply of it s duninished and the demand for it increased, then the value of this silver coin, or unit, wlli be more than a bushel of wheat. 11 the supply of col maney Is lucreased, and the demnnd tor it diminished, ita value will be less. Similar conditions affecting wheat will produce corre- anonding changes in the monov value of that commmodity. All that legisiation can do is to give permaneico tothe auantity of the matertal composing this unit, and to this extent only can [t reggulate its value, The act of 1792 further provided that a definite ntmber of these units shivuld be represented In our munulnzr syatem by n gold colu of a pre- neribed weight nnd finoneess, and that thero shiould be an unlimited coinage of both metals. The oagle, representing 10 anlts, was to contain 7.5 grains of purc metal, and the half and flmlnr eagls corresponding quantities, v put- ng gold into the carrency, the jaw could only reward the quantity of the metal repreacnting these unlis, Each ‘metal was the stundand by which the value of the other was measurcd; and as one ounce of gold could readily be exchanged {n tho market for fifteen ounces of silyor, they were put into the currency by welght under tho ratio of 11015, 'Ihis use of Fflld as_tnoney supplied the place of so much siiver, and wus an cquivalent addition to our moncy-stoc! l‘!lv multiplyiag its rnprnn.ntnuvc.lrlu acorrespond- ing degree dlminished tho excl mn';mhlo value, or purchasing power, of the unit of maney. \While the market valucof ench metal is very largely dependent tpon its use as money, many of the influcnves nffectini this valua are hevond the reach and contro! of legislation; and how- ever nwurnlnl{ adjusted in the currency at any time, thelr relative coin-ralue will nog always remaln colneldent with their relative maorket valuej but when there {8 & free coinago of bath metals, the disvarity will be very much limited, and prrmancoce [n the volumo of coin-money, which promotes stabliity in tho values of other forms of property, will be sccured. It s given quantity of one metal will 1n the market, or as bullion, exchange for a larger quantity of the otuer metal thau it can obtatn as coin,—in other words, If its market value fs greater than (ts coln value,—~Iit will potgo to the mint, but its place as jt retires will ho occupied by the other metal. Tho existing Yoiume u{ coin-money will be contlyued, amt the dfscharzed —wmetal, becoming tsclt a commodity, will exert no further lofluence upon the values of other forma of property. As the fun~tion of money is tv efMcet ¢xchanies of other forma of property, which some onc bas ex- pressed by the phirase ‘“to take property to market,” whicn there is a {reo colnage of both, one of the metals, though uncmpio)ed, will keep down the charge which thy otlier makes for rendering this service by itsclf standing ready to perform it. In this way each reoresscs the value of tha other. 1n thls view cach metal 1a to the ather o our currency wbat watcr-routes are to rallroads in' our inland commerce, The existenco of u water-route from Chivago to the seaboard would save milllons of movey annuat- ly to the Northwost by keeplog down’ railrosd c{umn, though 1t should not tloat & pound of freight.

M. Dumas, the venerable and accomplished. Freoch chemist, was the medium through which Mr. Lockyer con- veved these sturtling tidings.

Damas added that the conelustun reached by Mr. Lockyer was the result of thres years' assiddous’ research. Consclons of #ts extraor- dluary characier and of the cntirely hew aspect which the discovery will give to chemical aclence, Mr. Lockiér siates that he will send photographs and other detalls, whien the Acad- amy will rightly look for with suspeaded hellef, In the meauwhlle, onr distingalshed sarmnt has no hesitation In publicly dl-clullms‘ the speciile character of his discovers, which has been ac- complishetl by the use of that most potent aud mngical of modern Instrnments of analysls, the spectroscupe, ‘The honur of achleving & prodizious analytical ruccess which, {f veritled, must ever he memor- ablo in the history of molecnlar physics has for somo yeara past been an object of strentons rivalry'among n few of our leading scientific waorkers, The eventual dissactation of the so- called eloments was contidently contemplated Ly Flrldl{ uearly thirty years ago, and | is not. too much to say that theexoectationsentertaloed by that ewmincot au gave a stimulus for work in the laboratory which has uever been lost by thoso who were privilered to be learners ur fellw-laborers with him.

Mr, Lockyer belloves that, in spite of the multiforin aspects of the world fn whidh wo llve, thera is but. one form of matter swhich is truly clomentary. The vrimal clemont Is oresented to us in the shape of bydrogen. It s not & littlo ramarkable that the nsture of biydrogen should lave been a question of which the leading French chemists have recently been devollog thelr encrgies, It Ia now well known, thanks to M. Pickets and his French collenzucs, that hydrogen, tn its gasc. ous_form, can be, and has been, reduced to o Mquid condition. Mr. Lockyer hiinself Las ar- rived, by means of the speciruscope, at the con- clusion that hydrogen can no longer be regarded as a slmplo element, Furthor be belloves that b hins uroved that hydrowen is thie one body of which the varions metals and enrths that fiave hitherto constituted the chémist's catalogue of cloments sre composct, B novel and striking an’ intérpretation of all thé phenomena of ani- mate and inanimate nature of all that we cunsce in the starry depths arountd us, as well as our own globe, fs diflicult at first slzht to cotertain, ‘That the substauces wo huve hitherto known as s singlo unit in tho great cosmical laboratory should bo endowed with such Protean capacitics of form, 18 & conveption which utterly eclivscs a1l that poetry or mytholory have ever inspired, and the world becomes Infinitely more wondor- ful by such revelations as now scem to be brought within our grasp. it s romarkable that the discovery which (s attractiug 8o much attention bas not'been mudo —1f mada at all—in the particular line of [nves- tigation {n which Faraday was so distingutsnod aworker. Mr, Norman Lockyer {s ncither a chemist nor a physiclat, ‘The revelation has t}ccndnblllncd by means of an instrument which- (3 aid not live to sce, and which, since his duy, has created an entiroly new department of sciontific observation. ‘Tho spectroscope, stand. ing on fndependent ground, ultinutely threatens the province of Lhe physiciat and the chemtst alike, and at present (i {s haryd to say whore its claims will end. At the same time, while Mr. Lockyer'a astonishing conciusion may be satd to b of that exclustve optical character which the spectroscope furoishes, as distioct from that which would result from a dlreetly chewmlcal or physical investigation, it 1s right to point out thot satisfactory demuustrations of the tatter kiud are belicred to bavs been made during the last few nonths by Mr. Willlam Crookes, If not by othera as well. u this case Mr. luckyer's grand discovery may soon “be confirmed or rebutted by meaus of verifications, which, it must be admitted, are more In vogue thau the spectroscope In the average scientide world.
