Warner of Marietta, Qhio, asking what the latter meant by applying the term “erime of 1873” to the law of 1873 discontinu- ing the coinage of silver dollars, and of which Mr, Knox says he was the afthor. Mr. Warner has made public his reply, which is quite long. He says he thinks an aggravated offense against the public welfare or a great wrong to society is rightly ciassed as a public crime. He says that the annals of mankind do not afford an example of greater public wrong and injustice than the act demonetizing silver and thus changing the standard value in favor of oue class and against another. The effect, he says, has been the sj tion of one-third of the assessable value of all property for the benefit of the credit-holding ciass, ‘He says he does not believe Mr. Kuox knowingly devised any sueb thing, but was simply made oue of the justruments by which wrongwas perpe- Bus Ove matinee Friday, 4:13, * Woman.
