McCauley a few weeks since, have filed their answers to the bill of complaint. Before answering these defendants fled demurrers to the bill, denying the right to the discovery and relief prayed for by Mrs. McCauley. They deny all the charges of fraud and deception set forth in the bill, and swear to the fact t Speiser had purchased the grocery business carried on by him at No.- 209 Pennsylvania avenue southeast from the late Theodore Cauley before the departure of McCauley for Europe, where he died about twelve months ago. These answers set forth matters con- cerning the sale ang transfer of the busi- neas and claim that the sale was bona fide... It is further denied by Mr. Speiser that any partnership was ever entered into be- tween Peter P. Little, Theodore F. Mc- Cauley and himself; ho states that an ar- rangement in the nature of a partnership eement wae entered ‘nto after the pur- chase of the business py him. between Peter P. Little, J.

Exciting Game Between Departmental League Clubs. One of the best games of the season was played at National Park yesterday between the bureau of engraving and printing and the treasury teams. The bureau managed to win out in the ninth inning, with the score two to one against them at the he- ginning of the inning. The treasury put up an excellent game, and making two runs in the first inning kept the bureau players from scoring until the eighth ard ninth. Clifford occupied the box, and allowed the moneymakers but five hits in seven in- nings, four of which could be called of the @cratch order. Winkleman was also in excellent shape, and struck out fourteen of the treasury swipers. The game was play- ‘ed quickly and snappily, and good plays were the order of the day throughout the game. The bureau won the game on an error of Adams in left, which was fol- lowed by $s by Madigan and Beach. The attendance was good, and the adherents cheered their respective teams to the echo. When the bureau team sent In the winning run the bureau rooters could hardly re- strain themselves, and there was enthus- jasm to burn for some minutes. The score: TREASURYS. BUREAU: R.H.O.A.E.!

Niblack’s Report of the Result of Hin Inspection, Lieut. A. P. Niblack, the officer who in- spected the Rhode Island naval militia during their joint encampment with the militia of New York and Connecticut on Gardiner’s Island, the middle of July, has made a report to the Navy Department upon the performances of this battalion, which is in general very zomplimentary. He attacks the problem of the relations between the navy and the naval militia, alluding pointedly to the existing fear among naval officers that they may be brought in competition with the officers of the naval militia in time of war, and un- dertaking to show that any Jeiloasy on this score is without warrant. He believes that the naval militia has suffered through its dual character, on the one hand fron a mistaken idea of their becoming moze a national reserve of officers and men for the navy, and consequently, on the other hand from a lack of promise of definite useful- ness to the states maintaining then. For- tunately, the organization of the three naval reserves under national auspices can- not affect unfavorably the growth and de- velopment of the naval militia, and a nec- essary step to define the full functions of the militia and prevent any conflict will be the enactment of laws establishing a true reserve of officers and men for the aavy. e+ GOVERNMENT.

After careful consideration of the claims of the opposition, the Commissioners have ratified the sale of the lot at the corner of Sth and K streets northeast as a site for the new public school house.

The Commissioners have ordered the fol- lowing apportionment of the poor fund: For physicians to the poor, salaries, $7,200; medicines and for printing prescriptions for use in supplying the same, $3,700; for the women’s dispensary, $500; for the Aged Women’s Home, $300; for the purchase of coffins aes burial at public charge, $00; for emergent cases requiring reljef recom- mended by police departmen’ afoo, = a Suspended the Police Judge, CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., August 8—The city council has by unanimous vote sus- pended indefinjtely Police Judge Mullen, who was accused of numerous outrages against peaceable citizens.

Should Bryan be elected the situation Would have all the in- terest and excttement of doubt and uncer- tainty. Many people are asking themselves what would happen, supposing, etc. One thing which is quite apparent is that it would be difficult for him to follow what our eastern people would call a conserva- tive course. If, as President, he were less in sympathy with that branch of public sentiment of which he has been chosen as the exponent he would be stranded at the start. It may be counted on with certainty, therefore, that whatever he promises to his followers at the start he will endeavor to fulfill. Granting the possibility of his elec- tion, the declarations made in his speech at the notification demonstration next week and subsequently in his formal letter of acceptance will be worthy of very careful consideration. No one acquainted w!th him and familiar with the surroundings which must Influence his action can doubt that, to the limit of his ability, he will go in prac- tice to the extreme of wnat he preaches. The question is how far he could go, if elected. The possibility of Congress being carried for gold if Bryan were elected President is a very slender reliance. It may be easily figured out that such a revolution as would land him in the White House would sweep the Congress along with the rest. The Sen- ate is already in the hands of the silver- ites, and is apt to remain so for awhile. But with both branches of Congress and the presidency, unless the majorities In Congress were overwhelming, it would not be perfectly smooth sailing to all the re- ferms which Bryan's candidacy stands for. Unless a revolution in parliamentary pro- cedure followed the revolution at the polls, there would be a long and desperate fight before the democratic platform could be enacted into law. The process of passing a free silver bill would be slow and laboricus. That would necessarily be the first thing attempted. But long before such legislation could be accomplished the policy of redeeming treas- ury notes with silver would be put in oper- ation and one dream of the silver advocates would become a reality. Supposing the sll- ver men swept everything before them— this is all supposing—and got the House by a small majority. The progresssive moves toward free silver would be thus: A Special Seaston. The day Bryan took his oath a call for a sp2cial session of Congress would be 1s- Sued; net @ call for a session of the Sen- ate alone, as usual; but for both houses to meet. Bland would he in that House prob- ably; for it 1s hardly likely that such a revolution as would accomplish all the other silver things being here supposed would fail to result mm Bland’s election. Then h2 would surely: be the Speaker of the new House. Crisp will not be in the House after the 4th of March. If he is in Congress at all he- wil) be in the Senate. Nor will there be any other old democratic leader who would be at all likely to suc- cessfully compete with Silver Dick Bland for the speakership. Objector Holman would likely be there, |but the silverites would not be apt to pick him up in pref- erence to Bland. The organization of the House would, therefore, probably start off with Bland for Speaker.. Then there would be the selection of committees, with gold democrats to be ignored and silver repub- licans to be provided for. .A republican, Hartman of Montana, or Towne of Minne- sota, might be placed at the head of the committee cn coinage, weights and meas- ures. Some man determinedly opposed to national banks would be placed at the head of the banking sand currency committee— a committee which would likely go out of existence as soon as some repzal bills could be got through. A ways and means committee would be formed with a view to raising revenue as far as posible throush Internal sources; for if free silver means curtailment of foreign exchange it will mean a falling off of foreign imports and a loss of revenue from that source, making the income still smaller than it’ now is. Then the committee on anpropriations would be constructed on the alpaca coat basis—short and:close to the skin. Tke usual fate of free silver bills in the Houre has been to get blockaded in the coinage committee. This would be guarded against, of course, in a committee of Biand’s appoiniment. A brief bill would be speedily reported. Making allowance for the best sort of a fight the gold men could make, it would not take long for the bill to be passed through the house if they had a fair majority, and there was not present too strong an element insisting that all paper money issued in the form of silver certificates or in any form, should be irredeemable. The rules of the House no longer admit of great delay, and Mr. Bland would not be restrained by any feel- ing of delicacy in putting down an un- ruly minority composed of ‘gold bugs.’” In the Senate. In the Senate, the present silver strong- hold, the situation would be somewhat dif- ferent. The election this fall, whatever happens, cannot greatly change that body. ‘There would, of course, be a silver majority. But there would also be a very strong gold minority. There would, at all events, be thirty-five gold men in the body. Every man of them would be armed for a fight to the death. Unless the rules of the Senate were changed radically, their power of re- sistance would be tremendous, and at the very outset their resistance ofa change of the rules would be difficult to overcome without recourse to revolutionary methods. Heretofore the main effort to modernize the practice of the Senate has come from the gold side, Hill has been the prime mover. ‘The men who have been strongest in oppo- sition are among the silver leaders. They have stated their opposition to be on prin- ciple. It 1s not likely that in a situation where the old impractical senatorial prac- tice was the only thing blocking the wheels of the silver chariot, that Mr. Hill and other gold men would favor any change that would expedite business. The few silver Senators who participated actively in the fillbuster against the repeal of the Sherman coinage law were able to give a great deal of trouble and cause.great delay before that bill could be got through. If all the silver men in the Senate.had then been united in the effort to defeat {hat.measure they would probably have suctéedéd. As it was the re- peal bill could not, have passed if the men who led the fight ad nat come to the con- clusion that it was better, with an eye to the future, to have that measure than to have a compromise. It ane flemonstrated in that fight that a determfned, minority could, un- der the present rufés Gt the Senate, defeat most any legislation if, they stuck to it. A minority of thirty-five gold men, all acting together, fighting f(r their lives, with a de- termination never.to g{¥e in, could make it very difficult to get.@ free silver bill through. the Senate. Mr. Bryai would probably be in the White Hoyse thany months before such a, bill could reach him. If, meanwhile, the revenues of thé government fell off be- low the point of gbsoltife necessity; if the end of the fiscal yéAr hadi rolled around and no appropriations had. been made; if the government were without means of subsist- ence, and these gold Senators still blocked all legislation, some desperate means would have to be resorted to by the majority, or else concessions would have to be made.

John Chester—Distinguished Men Act as Pallbearers. Funeral services were held this afternoon over tke body of the late Judge Samuel Shellabarger at the family residence, No. 712 17t) street northwest. The hour of the mournful ceremonies was 2 o'clock, and before its arrival a large number of the friends of the venerable and distinguished jurist were assembled about his coffin. The 1emains were resting in a massive cedar casket, covered with black cloth, with heavy silver mountings. <A silver plate bere the name of the deccased, with the dates of his birth and death. Upon the lid of the casket were two magnificent bunches of flowers, while a wreath of white exotics rested on a table at the foot. The cervices were conducted by Rev. Jon Chester, the well-known Presbyterian divine of this city, who paid a feeling and eloquent tribute to the exalted qualities cf his dead friend. At the conclusion of them the remains were taken to the Pennsyl- venia depot, where a private car was at- tached to the train for the west, and taken to Springfield, Ohio, where the interment will take place tomorrow. The body was accompanied by Miss An- pie Shellabarger and Mrs. J. D. Young, daughters of the deceased; Samuel Shella— barger, the little grandson; Mr. J. D. Young and Judge Jeremiah Wilson, the lifetime friend and law partner of the dead man. The honorary pallbearers in this city were Judge Jeremiah Wilson, Judge Samuel F. Phillips, Mr. Ainsworth R. Spofford, Mr. John C. Fay, Mr. Nathaniel Wilson and Mr. J. J. Darlington. The active pallbearers were Messrs. A. A. Hoehling, Wm. Haywood, John Pickett, Harry Van Dyke, Ralph Upton and Assist- ant Engineer H. P. Norton, U.S.N., all of whom had been law students in the offices of Shellabarger & Wilson. Mrs. Shellabarger and Miss Brandriff, the widow and iter-in-law of the de- ceased, will remain in Washington until next week, when they will go to Deer Park. —— SUICIDE IDENTIFIED. He Was Wm. Irving Hatchins of This City—No Cause for the Act. The body of the suicide at Cabin John tridge was identified last evening about 7 o'clock as that of William Irving Hutchins of 1714 13th street, the twenty-cight-year- old son of Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchins. The identification was first made by Mr. Chas. Brill, the proprietor of the Rock Spring Hotel, on the Conduit road, and Mr. J. D. Hutchins, a relative of the suicide. In the meantime the mother had read a descrip- tion of the suicide, as published in The Star, and she was so convinced that it was her son that she telephoned to her eldest sor, employed at Kauffman’s clothing store, at §th and H streets southeast. The eldest sen Immediately took a car and went to the scene of the suicide, only to find out that it was his brother who had committed the rash act. Permission was secured of Coroner Da- vidson, who conducted the inquest, to re- move the remains to the city. Undertaker Birch was called up by telephone and went out after the corpse, which was stored away in a box in the stable yard opposite the hotel, and packed with ice. The re- mains were brought in Georgetown by mid- night and placed at the establishment of the undertaker. Here the corpse was made as presentable as possible for interment, though it was deemed best not to remove the body to its former home. The mother of the deceased can ass'gn no cause for the rash act. Until recently he was employed in the government printing office, and prior to that time had clerked at a number of places. He had been sick of late, and unable to do any work, and brooding over his condition is believed to have made him so despondent as to prompt him to end his life. The boy had been miss- ing from home for four days, and the fam- ily had not heard a word of him until the news of his suicide reached their ears. The young man had a good home, and his fam- ily appeer to be in comfortable circum- stances, the residence being a handsome three-story press-brick front dwelling, lo- cated in a fashionable neighborhood. Though there is a crepe on the door of the residence, the remains are at the un- dertaker’s, and will be kept there until the time for the interment. The funeral serv- ices will be held at 10 o'clock Monday morn- ing, at Oak Hill Chapel, the interment being at that cemetery. The funeral and interment will be private, and only the immediate fam!ly will attend. INTERESTING ‘THE WOMEN. A Circular Stating What Free Silver Means to Them. It 1s now becoming very apparent to the People of America that the pending cam- paign is not being conducted on purely partisan lines, but is rather a campaign in which the busiuess interests of the country are aroused, and it includes every class and every section, as well as both the sexes. One of the most interesting campaign documents issued is a “Circular to Wo- men,” issued by the women’s department of the City Bank of Buffalo, to explaia what a vote for free cuinage means. Jt is addressed to the women of the United States, and 1s as follows; “Bear in mind that free coinage of silver means the doubling in prices of all you buy for the daily support of your families. By care and economy you have arranged so that you can live well and have something over every year: or perhaps you are just able to make ends meet. “Under free coinage all this will change. The sum you are ‘saving will be swept out by doubled prices, or if you are just able to pay expenses now, you will be forced into debt and poverty by the rising market un- der free silver. “Wages, salaries and incomes will not rise when other things do under free coinage. If they rise at ail, it will be very slowly, and never will equal the advance of prices. This is positively proved by the experience of our own and other countries. You will find what happened under rising prices in the United States on another page. “Are you in favor of higher prices for necessaries of life, when it is a continued struggle to keep household expenses with- in the bounds of income? “A vote for free silver is a vote to in- crease the cost of living without power to increase your wages or income. Are you in favor of voting to increase the cost of living when the «mount to live on will not increase? “Will you allow your husbands, brothers or friends to vote for free silver wnen it means increased household expenses, cut- ting down of the purchasing power of wages, salaries and income, and a sure shrinkage of your savings?” Appended to this appeal is a page of sta- tistics, as follows: In 1860 the United States was, and had been for many years, on a gold hasis. ‘Wages were then paid in gold or its equivalent. The war of the rebellion opened in 1801. During the war the government issued paper money in the same manner that the silver people want it now to issue silver money. Under paper money prices advanced rap- idly and wages advanced slowly, so that ih 1865, while wages had advanced 43 per cent, prices of the necessaries of life had ad- vanced 117 per cent. The depreciated paper wages of the la- borer during the war were as follows: 1868, 76 cents instead of a gold dollar; 1864, 80 cents instead of a gold dollar; 1868, 66 cents instead of a gold dollar. These rep are obtained from an expert investigation made in 1892 by order of the United States Senate. Its report is standard authority. Gone to Chicago. Mr. Chas.

Zeal Poa the Campaign Will Win the Vic- ory. The Chicago Convention. The following is the first paragraph in the book: Atandoned—Bryan and the Chicago Plat- form.) (Wilmington, Del., Every Evening, dem.) No. 1. The gathering at Chicago is far from beirg @ representative convention of the great democratic party of the country. Its majority is simply a howling mob cf pepulists, free silverites and anarchists, dominated by Altgeld and swayed by Till. The leaven of good sense and hon- est purpose supplied in the persons of the gold-standard minority fails to have any appreciable effect. The convention has been swung away from true democratic principles, and is movirg in a course that promises to absolve all honest democrats frem allegiance to its declarations or feal- ty to the candidates it may place before the people. It is idle to expect that hon- est, sincere, self-respecting democrats throughout the country will sustain the farce now being enacted at Chicago in the name of democracy. President Lincoln’s advice in 1864 is given a prominent place in the book, as fitting to the occasion. That some may be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence ts just en- couragement to industry ard enterprise. Let not him who is homeless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself; thus, by example, assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when bullt. The Balance of Trade. The summary on the balance of trade say: It is a notable fact that for ten years, from 1875 to 1885, the republicans never had less than $72,000,000 of a surplus in any one year, except in 1882, when it fell to $25,000,000, reaching the enormous sum of $25,000,000 in 1881, while Grover Cleve- at the close of his second year, in found the balance of trade to be against us to the amount of $25,000,000. President Harrison, as soon as inaugu- rated, with the balance of trade against us, brought this trade back to us, so that the third year of his administration gave us $22,000,000 of an excess of exports over thai of imports. A study of these tables will show what the republicans and the whigs have been able %0 accomplish, as against the demo- crats, in the holding of the balance of trade. The following resume is given for conventence: ‘The federalists lost annually for ¢ Years $1,082,663, or in all $129,918, The whigs controlled the gover! nt for eight_years, with imports amounting to $158,878,331 and a total of exports of $47,- 336,375, which gives an annual loss in the cess of imports over exports of $13,042,- 744. The democrats had control for fifty-six years prior to Cleveland's present term, in which they show a gain of exports of $171,- 949,891 against a loss in the imports of $1,005,904,182, making the annual loss by the democrats for the whole fifty-six years 314,803,645. The republicars had control for twenty- eight years, in which they show a gain in the excess of exports of $1,875,856,715 against a loss in the imports of $1,124,741,- 034, or an annual gain in the excess of ex- Ports of $26,825,560. Making a final showing in favor of the republicens with $26,000,000 of a gain against $14,000,000 of a loss with the demo- crats, or $12,000,000 of a loss with the whigs annually. What Bimet: m I Bimetallism is thus “officially” defined: The use of the two metals as standard money at relative values set by legislative enactment; the union of two metals in cir- culation as money at a fixed ratio. Specifi- cally, that system of coinage which recog- nizes both coins of silver and coins of gold as legal tender to any amount, or the con- current use of coins of two metals as a cir- culating medium at a fixed relative value. Bimetallism—The use of both gold and sil- ver as money, the issue for which the re- publican party are to contend in 1896. Under this head is given the platform declarations on the subject, beginning wita that of 1884, and the following declarazjon is made: The Republican Record. “For sixteen years the republican party has contended for the largest possible use of silver; and under the operation of the acts of 1878 and 1890 more silver has been coined and put to money use than in all the years preceding such legislation. ‘This silver money was never discredited until it was assaulted by the pretended friends of silver in a demand for its free and un- limited coinage. Silver coinage of standard dollars was suspended in 1806, was sub- jected to a mint charge by the act of June 28, 1834, of one-half of 1 per cent, which was modified by the act of January 18, 1837 (section 18), to the reasonable cost of Preparing the metal. “The act of January 21, 1853, reduced the weight of subsidiary coins, and provided for all such coinage in the future to be on government account. Government account as applied to subsidiary coin was adopted by the republican party as the best meth- od of keeping silver in use as standard money. Seventy-eight per cent of the sil- ver produced in the world is dependent upon money use, as only 22 per cent is used in the erts. In the United States we have produced gince 1878-silver to the value of $914,150,000, of which $201,150,000 worth was used in the arts, leaving $713,000, worth for money use. The government has coin- ed from 1878 to 1885 $450,887,000, and hold bullion in the treasury the amount of $124,921,000, thereby gi to $575,308,000 money use, which otherwise would have gone to depress the market price of silver used In the arts.” How Bryan Indexed. Bryan is thus indexed in the book: “Bryan, W. J., populist and the hired velve fervant of bonanga mine owners.” And again: “Bryan's corporation work—he ts assistant attorney of the Missour! Pacific for Nebraska,” and again, “Bryan on bolt- ing, ‘I am not a democrat Considerable space is devoted to the con- demnation of the doctrine of cheapness. One heading sa: “Cheap goods don’t make people happ: The Crime of 732. Under the heading crime of 1873 s this paragraph: “The 16 to 1 theorists, who propose te cure all evils by restoring the condition which existed prior to 1873, will not stop with the restoration of silver. The propos- ed restoration must include the doubling of everything which has shrunken. The fol- lowing is suggestive of others “Disease—Ten days per annum is the av- erage amount of sickness in human Ife. That is hardly enough. What we need is to have the per capita doubled. If there was twenty days’ sickness instead of ten then the doctors would earn just twice as much as they do now, and, of course, would spend twice es much, and that would in- crease the money, and everybody would be just twice as well off. The production of the country would be thus inc for there are a good many more 4 than there are silver mine owner: and by doubling their earnings and thus setting twice as much money in circulation busl- ness would revive. “The doctors would have to use more horses to drive around among their pa- tients and so there would be twice as many oats used. This would double the price of oats, and so all around there would be a rise in values. “Wages would > way up with the other things, and then, too, a man would not have to work so hard as he does now, for he would lay off with sickness twic Tmany days us he does now. Ever since the demonctization of disease sickness has been gradually declining, and the per capita is altorether too low. What we need is more sickness, and there should at once be a return to the cld ratio of our fathe>s, 1 to that is, one sick day to sixt Well days, which would make about twenty sick days in a year instead of ten. Vistil this is done we can have no prosperity.” The Insurance Question. On the insurance question ts said: The fire insurance policy holler is a pe- culiar illustraticn of the actual application of the brilliant free silver idea. The s Ucties do not give the number of insur: but we know it must Include at least t thirds of all men doing business and great majority of the householders of the country. The total risks written, by the Statistics at hand, was over $16,000,009; but the value of the Insurance shown by the licy holders’ surplus was $1 198, Estimating the household insurers atl 000 and the business. i rs at Gi which ts conjectural but surely within’ the limits, this makes the avcrage investment in life insurance about $750 to each pers From each of these persons, every one them producers, the greai free s Proposes to take away half of the his policy in force when the standard takes place. ot or idea value of change of Life Insurance. The vast sums that the policy holders of Ife insurance have loaned, through the co- operation of their agents, namely, the offi- cers who represent the various companies throughout the United States, constitute them a money-lending class. There are 1,496,356 life-insurance policies outstanding. {A great many people have more than one policy. so that it is probable that the num ber of this class would be somewhere about 1,200,000, But each policy represents a debt to be scaled, and can be viewed in that line. Some rich men carry a good deal of life insurance. but the vast mass of the insurers are men of ordinary means, who thus provide an assurance for their fami- lies. The total savings of this form tn re- serve, and surplus as to policies, is 31,156,- 061,796. The face of the policies is far more, but the average savings on each policy is $772.65. And because the people have saved this sum, a I} tle each year through many years, the reat free silver idea proposes to punish them by taking away about $286 from each averege value, on account of the wickedness of belonging to the money-lending class. The Money Issve. The attitude of the republican party on the money issue in the campaign is thus defined: “The republican party declares in its platform: “We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated :o debase our curre or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agr ment with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote. “The democratic party declares platform: “We demand the free and unlimited coin- | age of both gold and silver at the present | legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for j the a‘d or consent of any other na “By this language the issue is to be presented for the decision of the 15,041,000 | Voters. “The following are some of the reasons why the republicans contend for interna- tional agreement: “If we take up the metal alone and that course results in the expulsion of gold, we shall have, in the first place, a financial crisis worse than ever suffered in this country. This because we cannot in a long time, even by working our mints day end night, coin silver enough to take the in its place which would be vacated by gold. Prices would sorely fall. Immense num- bers of failures would occur. Laborers would be thrown out of work. Altogether a dreadful paroxysm in our business would be precipitated. Slowly the gap left by gold would be filled by the mining and coinage of silver. Prices would then grad- ually rise. At last they would become higher than now, more and more approach- ing the Mexican and Japanese level. Some advantages would doubtless spring from this elevation of prices, but it is a mistake to suppose that It would redress the in- iquity caused by the fall of prices in 1873, because the rise and the fall would in the overwhelming majority of cases not apply to the same parties. In most Instances the very men who have profited by the fall would manage to profit azain by the rise. Moreover, wages would rise more slowly than values at large. But a consequence far worse than any of these would be that our passage to a silver basis would erect against foreign exchange between Europe and the United States just such a barrier as now exists between Eu- rope and Mexico. It would annihilate all fixed par between New York and London, repeating the terrible inconveniences in our European exchanges which we suffered in war umes, when we were upon a paper basis. We are now using as much silver as gold, and as silver has never been demonetized it is as good as gold everyw’ >. The standard silver dollar of 412% grains has never been anything less than legal tender, but there was never any considerable num- ber of them in circulation prior to ISSO. There were,March 1, 1895, 422.8) ) stand- ard silver dollars, which are full legal tender, and $77,071,747 of subsidiary silver, which is legal tender in amounts of $10. There were at that date $150,70%, of treasury notes based upon the ‘silver bul- lon purchased under the Sherman law, which are legal tenders. Under the free coinage of silver the ratio of 16 of silver to 1 of gold could not be sus- tained, as sixteen ounces of silver now is worth In the markets of the world only Ittle more than one-half an ounce of gold. No man would take gold to the mint and get doliar for dollar when he could go into the market and purchase with that gold dollar enough silver to make one and a half, one and a quarter or even ene ard an eighth legal tender silver dollars. There would be no ratio. The United States would 4e on a silver basis. After the ratlo was made 16 to 1 in the United States, little silver was coined here, because the Euro- pean ratio of 15% to 1 made silver worth ™mcre there than here. What ts-neede1 to establish » parity between the two metals is an international ratio. That woukl be bi- metallisn:, which the republicans are con- tending for, while the democrats have openly announce< that they are in favor of silver monometallism. —_——_-e-—__—_ Campbell's Story Corroborated.
