THE SILVER QUESTION. wArraignmont of the Piutocrats-A Constl- tutional Amendment Proposed to Guard Againat Improper Influences, To the Filltor of The Tribune. Tairnony. IL, June 28.—In the examination of all subjects it 1s too often the case that the frreatest and moat vita) facts are left in obscuri- ty, or even completely hidden, And sometimes itis even truc that, the moro discussion, the more are the greatest and most materiat facts concealed. Dut they do not dopart, tier can they be dispelled. Like mountatus, hidden for atime by the fogs and yapors of the valley, they stand silent and immovable, Ike God's acntincls. « Greatest among all the groat and plain truths: Dearing on the silver question is the well-settled and unquestioned fact that the united volume of specie, both gold and silver, in the civilized world, or Inany partof it, or in the whole world, fs not moro than barely enough to form a secure basis for axtating paver eredits In various forms, including papsr money, exchanes, bonds, debts, etc, Whose Vast aggregate, ns compared with the amount of specie, bus been fitly compared ton pyramid Inverted and standing upon its apex. The amount of all the specie, then, being only enough for security and stability, it is not strange that demonetization in England nfter the battle of Waterloo should aid so greatly in transferring property to fewer owners, and re- iit the masses toa desperate strugele for prentl and for life, aud furnish an abundance of very cbeap Jabor,—thus strengthening the hands of that mighty feudalism which now dominates over nearly 00,000,000 of people, and corrupts politics, literature, civilization, and even Chris- thanity itself. In Germany the samo transter of property and ruin of debtors followed demonctization; and here in the United States almost all mort- gaged property will be sncrifled (as ts very well known by all who wish to know), unless the people ara allowed thelr clear, undoubted, in- herited, and God-given right to the cull uso of the entire product of our silver mioos, a8 well as of gold. After the discovery of gold in California there was a time when the plutocrata of Europe pro- fessed to belive it right and necessary, In the interests of good government, commercial ad- yancement, {ntcurity, elvilization, and order, to demonetize gold, and make silver the exclusive standard, As recently with silver, It was then argued that the quantity was go vast that debts would be pald too cheaply, and in denreciated metal,—cold belng relatively depreciated by the rise In prices of other commoditios. Shrewder pollcics prevalled, huweyer, abraad; and by means of raflrond-butlding and extrava- gance here, the want of national policy, and by efvil war, a gold product uncxampled on cart! aineo the beginning of history was transferred from us to other countries. ‘Then, in the Providence of events, as our gold imines declined and our resources dimintshed, came the discovery und opening of our silver mincs, And Mr. ‘Lincoln, as ony statcamin should, saw this Providential relief, nnd ex pressed the belicf and hope tat by that means a sound and safe pathway would be opencd, und silver would prove our financial bulwark. And then, in the same year that the grent and terrible Civil War ended,—In the yeor 1805,— began the movement for demonctizution of ail- ver in Europe. But in France it could not re- cretly compass its purposes as here; and when, ja ae n Commission was sopointed by the French Government to investigate the subject, her men of learning, great statesmen, financiers, and patriate, came forward with clear aud over- wheltning testimony ngainet it, and the interests of France, of the world and civilizatlon, wore protected against the Insidious attack; and the option of the debtor tu pay in either metal, and the relative yalue of both, have thera remalned unchanged to this hour, thouch the mighty array of feudal influence, mlsrepresentation as to the magnitude of the American product, and other subtle influences aid finally succeed in restrict- ing coinage there, which is the utmost thy mighty combination could effect in France and in the States of the Latin Union. But bere the open investigation first was not Tia, and discussion dla uot been untt, by treachery and fraud (as shown by oficial Con- Hreasional reports), thelr object was gained, apd the country at leogth began slowly to reallze that ite futeresta lad been sacritiecd, and silver demonetized. ‘Tho full measure of injury tnilleted upon this country Is uot yet realized, Neither fs It yet realized that we have glyen to another country, whose feudal, commercial, und mon ctory Interests dominate the world, and are widely different from ours, the command of our bultion. And by so doling we have given away the commund of our produce-markets in a very large dezree, And, when this bas been done, need we wondar at the eltuation of ulfalrst Is it strange that from the Atlantic to the Paciie, and from the Great Takes to the Quit, even real estate of any kind can hardly be eold at any pricel Te ft strange that o feeling of uncertainty aud insecurity exists on cvery bud, and that this contributes to many aid yaried forme of de- mioraltzationt Ic ts one of the very urestest facta in oll history, in tse bearing on wl) human judustry, busluess, Auauce, wud property, that never yet have the worki's mines of allver and gold pro- duced tou much, ‘Thue and again have feure heen entertained tnt they would; but those feara have never yet been realized.

On the other hand, the word's need of sliver fs on wacale so yust that the utmost production of all ite mines, in the futuro as tu the past, will not be tou much; and the adyance of civillza- tion and commerce cannot be separated froin, thelr developinent, ad trom the use of all the specie obtalnable. ‘The dollur of uur adoption ju 1703 was then more than 200 years old, aid, under the stamp ot Spain and Spanish Armurtea, hod circulated forages in Europe, Avia, Atria, North and South America, the East aud West Indles, ad wherever commerce hud sent its chips, On this unlt ot yaiue, peculiarly, oll aur bust hese-transactlous baye been gouged, und our gold coln has ever ju business had Its yatue and amount stated fn dollars; av one ever heard of a contract for payinent of av many eagles, or bulf or quarter eagtes, And the claims of that original unit of vulue for a world-wide circulation ure not exceeded by any colo ever struck.

W.'r. WHAT THE SUN 1S MADE OF. Prof. Draper Teaching the British Royal Soclety-Specteoscaplo Anulyals of the Solar Subatnneo—Evidonce,of the Existenca of Oxygen—Other Results of the study. At the meeting of the Noyol Astronomical Soclety on Friday, the 13th of June, Vrof. Hen- ry Drapor, the distinguished American physicist son of Prof. J. W. Draper, whose work on the “History of Intellectual Development of Enrope” has caused manv to forget his carter pcientitle successes), brought before an audience of English astronomers and physicists the eyi- dence by which he appears to have demon- strated that oxygen oxistain the sun. It velit bo remombered that. when, In 1850, Kirchhoff showed how the dark fines of the solar spee- trum enable us to analyze the yapurous envelope of the great central Juminary of our system, the substances the oresenco of which was recog- nized belonged, with ono exception, to the family of metallle — elements. irou, zloc, copper, aluminium, sodium, magnesinm, cobalt, nlekel, calclum, chromiun, titanium, nnd manganese, were fuund to be present in the sun. Besides theso mictals, hydrogen was recornized, It is donbdtful whether even hydrogen ought not to be Included among the auetulHe elements, for the Into Prof. Graham succeeded in forming what he reyarded os an alloy of bydrogen and palladium, whieh (if his interpretation of the experlment was correct) would oblige us to consider hydrogen as x motal no lesa than palladium. dn that ease hydrogen would be regarded as a metal which at oraluary temperatura fs, inthe gaseous form, precisely ag mercury fs, at ordinary temperatures, o fut metol, Adopting this, which ts protably the cor+ rect vlow, we may say thatall the elements the preaenee of which fn the sun had been deter- mined by dark Hnes—thut fa, by absent, or rather Dy relatively feeble tiuts,—in the solar spectrum are metallic, ‘Tho absence of all evidence respecting some of the other cloments might not have seemed remarkuble, because Jt miznt well be believed that they were presont tn quantities relatively so small that our means of unalyzing the sun faulted to detect these sub- stauees, We could thus tnderstund why epee. optsts should have obtained no evidence of the presence of gola in the sun—the element, by the way, whieh the alchemists and astrofo- gers of old times regarded aa specially solar, Hut that such elements as oxyzen, nitrogen, mul carbon, Which are such bnportant constit- ‘vents of our earth, should be absent from the sun, or should vot bo present in quantities large enough to make their detection casy, seemed surprising, ‘The wonder was Inereoses iu the case of the tio latter elements by the elrenmatance’ that Dr, Huggins recogaized the presence of nitrogen in the fulut, mint-like ob: jects, the guscous nebule, and thy presence of curboo (though not quite «0 satieactorily) in certain comets, But though wo spectroscope evidence of the presence of oxygen in any of the selGluminous celestial bodies had been ob- tulned, 0. the abeence of any evidence of oxyzen in the sun was in one sense lexs te- tiarkable, it waa in another sense the most re- markubte of atl the negative reaulte of solar apectrosople anuiysts, Oxygen is commonly belleved to form one-third of the mass of our eurth’s crust, and fs known to form oight-ninths ot the water where tt fs combined (that ts, where It fa chemically associated) with hydro- Ken, and one-fifth of the ate where it fa mixed (not combined) with nltrozea. We cannot, ttl true, assuine that the structitre of the sun ie identical with that of the earth; indeed, muny consider that cach planet, according to ite dis- tance from the sun, is differently constiiated, having the same elements, perhaps, but indif- ferent proportlong, while the sun is unlike them oll, Yet it woutd beglifiiculé to nnderstant haw: in the great cengraf nase, du which the denser elements would be the moro abnndant, the Ughtest of all, hydrogen, should he preacnt in enorinens guantitics, while oxsgeu, so mich denser wndee the ‘same conditions, should be sbsent or present only fn such simail anrount as to affort no evidencu of its existence, ‘The natural inference would be that oxygen al the other nou-metaltic elements, though reully present in Wie sun, are situated below that visible surface of the sun which wo call the photosvhere. ‘That at any rate they are not present above that surfaces in uny con. siderable quantity fd cleariy aown vy what bap pens during totul eclipses of the sun; for whereas, at the moment when the sun is just fully hidden by the moon, the metallic elements usually recoguized by the absorptive action of their Yapors ou the aun’s light can be revogulzed 8. 879-TWELVE PAGES. by their cinisaive action, a riiobow-tuted atray of datk’ linea, the bright Ines of oxygen, other non- nitrogen, carbon, and inetallle elements havo never been recognlzed, even under those favorable conditions, But tf oxygen existed In chormous quantities within the visible tobe of the sun, Its presence might ‘bo recognized In another Bis Besides the dark Hanes in the solar spectrum, there ore bright lines fortoinly. ab thines, and probably nlwaya, Some, indeed, hava said that na the ‘glowing vapors which prodice the rain- how-tinted array of Hines just mentioned are nt nll times present over the ean's surface, there fre nlways Drieht mess but as the questton 1s always of relanye brightness, and as these ps Ueulir tints ary fatnter—corresponding, Intact, to the dark lines—this mode of spenklnz seems as incorrect ns it wand be to describe the dull, lst of a sinall red-bot clube, aeun projected ont at bright background ata white heat, a8 forinini abrlght Instegd of a dark spoton that bright white background, When, howerer, ns some: times Lappens, the known {ines of some clement tlsappear and presently reappesr as bright Ines. we perceive that for the timo balmy the spectroscopic wyidence respecting tat particular element Is changed in character, We know that that clement fa orerent fn the part of the aun examined, but we know this because we ave the bright Ines, not(ng usual) the dark lines of thatelement. . This happens frequently. for In- stance, In the case of hydrogen, when those ox- eecdingly bright parts of the aun's surface, which are called facuke, are exhausted. For ihe time being, the hydrogen there, probably to. adenth of inany Hhoriswnd miles below the ‘yis- ible surface, ts glowing with a heat excceding that of the matter forming the photusnhere, re- garded naa wholes thus, the hydrogen Indi- entes Ils preeenee by its emleeive, nut by its ab- sorptive, aciion, If oxygen were present in very great quantities in the sun, but always lay below the vietUle solar surface und was at a hicher temperature than that prevailing at the surface, then oxvien infght Insicate its pres- ence by its bright lines, and could certainly in- dicate it In no other way. Now, it is evidence af precisely this kind tbat Prof. Draper seems to have obtained respecting this most tinportant clement. Ho had been engaged since 1863 in Spinning simultancous — photographie of parts of the solar spectrum and of corre- sponding parts of the spectra of hydrogen, nitro- gen, ind carbon. {n examining a series of such photographs in which the futed spectrum of nitrogen wus iu juxtaposition with the solar snectrum, he found reason to euapect that some of the bright lines of nitrogen serced exactly In bosttion. with bright bands in the spectrum of the aun, Purauing lis researches, he found,cven at that carly stare of his labora, very striking evidence of agreement between the bright lines of oxygon and solar bright bands, It was not, however, till the year 1877 that he was so far satisiied as to announce “the ‘discovery of oxgyen In the sun” ‘The paper thus named was ilhistrated by enlarged ylows of the uegatives he liad obtained, Su that, in point of fact, the reader was provided with the very evidence which had sathaied Prof, Draper. He dia not merely send pictures of what he bod seen, but the ubservatlons them- selves, seuluy that the photographs remand precisely as ndture bad left them, save only for a Jow reference lines and letters added round the margin to make them fntelligible. In these photographs a part of the spectrum of the sun was seen site by aide with the bright- ive spectrum of ar, ‘fhe bright Hnes of iron were shown in company with those of alr, in ore der to Indicate the uxict agreement of the jux- taposed spectra by the coineldence of the tron briiht Hues with the corresponding solar dark lines. Every one of the oxygen brtrht Ines was. seen to coincide with a bright part of the sular spectruin. In goine enses the coincidence was very striking, because the bright hue of the air ypectrum not only agreed oxactiy in position, but very closely in churacter also, with o brignt band fn the solar spectrum. ‘This close resum- Dlance could not in every caso be recogntzed,— a clreunstance by no means surprising when we remember thut i€ these bright bands in the solar spectrum ure really due to the oresence of eroat quantities of oxveun below the visible solar aur- Jace, the Heht of this oxygen can only reach us alter lnc throuzh ihe cooler cnyelope of metaille vapors which produces the dark lines, and must be uffested by the absorptive actlan of those vapors, which, of course, was nut the cose with the oxygen of the afr from whieh Prof. Draper obtained the bright-line compurison spectrum, Many experienced spectroscoplsta remained uneunylived by the evidence which Prof, Draner thus adyanced in 1877, ‘hey considured that the dispersive power of lis’ svectroscopic bat- tery wos not sullictent to place beyond ques- lof the colueidenves on which hoe based hls con- Justons, Other object{ons also were advanced 1 need wot here be divelt upon. fo the trie serentitie spirit, Prof. Draper set to worl: 10 ap- ply more cearchiiug teste to his result, ‘The seale of his enlureed photograph had been half thut of Angstrom’s “well-known © normal spectrum.” ‘Those whieh he exhibited last Fri- dny ot the Astronomlval Society were on nacale four tlmes greater, ‘I'he evidence derived from each cotncidence was thus increased fourfold in yaluc, the evidence from two coineldences stx- teenfold: from three, sixty-four fold; nnd from the elehteen recognized coincidences about 68,- 735,000,000 tlines, dlu effected, also, an Iniprove- ment likely to bave a erat value lo otlur apee troscople researches, Theclectric spark, through alr which gave the alr spectrum, pursued 9 agzag course, like a Uelitninye-flash on a stall scale, He wanted 2 strright flash, or at any rata a flat flash, so that seen from ape dircetion It should appear as a straight ine.

The result of this arr ent is that the spectrum of the att Mnes—oxyeen and nitrozen—as also of the iron Hnes—obtalnéd by having a little fron at one of the poles—is much bettur deflned aud moro trustworthy than it hed bec before this plan waa adopted. Wotlink that most spectroecoplsts will aumit that Prof, Draper docs not pass bevend the Im: fts of sclentiile caution In claiming that the cofn- cidence shown tn his photographs between the bright lines cf oxygen und bright parts of the solar spectrin, estanlishes the protgellty of the existence of dxygen in the sun. ‘The bur- tar rather uf disprouf, should now fall on those who consider that the colncidence ye wfter all, bo meroly avetdental, ‘To us it seems thut, iC such evidence av Prof, Draper has obtained ejected, hardly any spectro- scople evidence can sulllce to prove the existence of uneluinent inthy sun.
