In fact we believe a big majority of the white d people favor it, but to be effective as gine us your nm.g , aneon a-el tadr. t -In speaking of th effect of the act a of 1873, Mr. Carlisle says: "The th plain truth is that this Act of 1873, m which has been the subject of so much o misapprehension and denunciation, th was simply a legal recognition of a s monetary condition which had existedsi in fact in this country for about thirty-ai five years. or ever sinice a short time y after the passage of the coinage Act of go 1834. From about 1838 to 1878, the*, time of the passage of the Bland-Alli- e son Act, no silver dollars were in o circulation in this country, the cur-b rency consisting of gold and bank p notes, except from 1862 to 1878, when -our active circulation outside of Cali- ce: fornia and its neighboring territory, in was all paper. Custom dues and inte- e rest on the public debt were paid in all gold. The value of United States notes a or greenback was always measured in gold. Commodities had a gold price I and a paper price; never a silver price. si For eleven years prior to 1873, even g the subsidiary silver coinas were not b in use. "Our own monetary hist ory sil had already furnished two most thz striking illustrations of the operation sil of the natural law under which the dos coins which are over-valued by statute o always drive out of circulation the co coins which are under-valued. Our own experience had again demonetra- cot ted what the history of the world al- ter ready showed--that whenever the the o~iniage laws of any country permitva the coinage of both met als with full Va legal tender qualities at a rtio of value, which do~es not substantially ~ conform to their intrinsic value in the u markets of the world, both cinnot be de kept in c'rculation at the same time. The least valuable coin will always be or used in mnaking payments, and will it become the sole measure of value, and the most valuab'e will be hoarded or la sent out o.f the country into the markets to where its real value can be obra tned." tht Our first coinage laws, 1792, put bol the ratio of the two metals at 15 to 1, o that is 15 pounds of silver were to beli considered equal mn value :o one pound G of gold, and the weig .ts of the coin ret adjusted to that rule. This rio was ab1 n iot fixed by law, but the relative in-~ ch~ trinsic value of the metals n as de- r t< romned by the mairke s of the country. -li soQn developed that 1.5 pounds of a silver were not in. fact equal in value to 1 pond of gold. Siiver had been i (.ver-valued by sta:ute and gold ha~d ac been under-valued. Therefore, und. r the the operation of the natural law, gold ef had disappeared fr m the country by eal 1812, and until the passage of the Act oif 1834 the United States had practi cally silver monometallism. Congress , determined, in 1831, to bring the gold Bri back, by chantginig the ratio. The Act C of 1834, supplenenwed by the Act of tivi 1837, chantged thy ratio b> 16 to 1. ' or ined, was not in fact, worth intrinsi liy and commercially 16 pounds of I var The result was that silver left icunttry and gold came back. "A ry small percentage of difference tw(een the legal ratio and the com nrcial ratio has always been found fficient in modern imes to drive the der-valued metal entirely out and bstitn'e the o:he:, or paper bas d oon the other, in its place, and no >ngress er Parliament can repeal or er the natural law of trade by which is movement of the metals is verned." Here were two illustra ations of the law, in the one case ve: was over-valued, and in the her gold was over-valued. In 1853 Congress, in order to main in the circulation of subsidiary ins-half dollars, quarters and mes-reduced the metal contained them and made them legal tender payment of sums not exceeding five >llars. Consequently these came into ie until expelled by the cheaper paper oney issued during the war; not ing full legal tender they could not ive out the gold coins. This was the condition in 1873. ur actual measu:'e of value was gold, Ad our actual circulating medium was iper, with a purchasing power mea Lred by the gold standard. We had a silver and it had no influence what rer on our prices, and on our ability > pay debts. "The Act of 1873, kerefore, did not and could not take iray from the people of the United tates any advantage they then pos ssed, but it did prevent the coinage E full legal tender silver dollars there 2ter, and the Act of 1874 destroyed e debt-paying power of the old andar.l dollar coin d befcre 1873, ccept in sums o5 five dollars. No Iver being in circulation, it had no tactical effect ou debtors to p iv their ,bts. Thns we remained until 1878. he effort to keep both metals in circu tion as full legal tender under a i -stem of free coinage had failed. A ,w policy was tried, that of restoring circulation the standard silver A )llar with full legal tender. not by ening the mints to its fre;. and un nited coinage on individual account, is now proposed, but by providing I ir the purchase and coinage of not 9 ore than four million dollars worth I id not less than two million dollars t orth of silver each month by the vernment itself. Under this Act, e Sherman Act, and the Act requir g the recoinalge of tihe traode dollar, ~ seventeen years $397,652,873 in full ' ~al tender standard silver dollars 0 ere put in circulation as against ,030,000 during theiwhole previous istence of the government. There ~ vern was one-third as much silver ~ llars, full legal tender, in circulation a now, and the financial affairs of the i ve:nmnent have been so mansged ~ at6 its purchasing power has been t eserved, notwithstanding it is coined t a ratio which does not conform to C i real value of the metals in the t arket. "Free and unlimitde coinage ~ full legal tender silver .dollars at ~ e ratio of 16 to 1 means that our law t all be so changed that any owner of E ver bullion may send it to the mints 14 d have it coined, at the public ex nse, int. dollars each containing 4121 ains of standard silver, the dollars a ien coined to be delivered to the ~ rner of the bullion, and all the people ~ the United States to be compelled ' law to receive them as dollars in I yment of debte, although not strinsically worth more than fifty s its each." The 25 8-10 grains t a gold dollar i< worth 100 0 its, or the equivalent of 100 cents, c over the world, in silver countries well as gold countries. It is worth ~ >efore it is coined. Or as Mr. Car-h l strongly puts it: 16 pounds of b rein cannot be exchanged for 1 le and of gold anywhere in the world, ii t it requires about 32 pounds of rei." In answer to the objection hi at this is measuring the value of bi rer by gold, he says, "the statement as not attempt to measure the value t( either of the metals, but simply to c npare them, one with the other," w :1'"for the purpose of making the nparison the value of gold is de- a mined by its purchasing power in fr markets of the world, and the es ue of silver is determined in the lie way. 4r. Carlisle defines his positon thus: have never been, and am not now, bi friendly to silver in the sense of Ia iring to see it excluded from the 1 ,netary system of the United States, ~ of ony other country, but I know annot be kept in circulation along th gold by means of any ratio the L r of any one country may attempt 4. establish between the two mietals; w t the only way to secure the use of n ~h at the same time in to make one hi them the standard of value and to C it the coinage of the other that the n vernment which issues them and ~s eives them for public. dues may be S e at all times to maintain their ex ogeability, either directly or indi tly, through the operation of it, ~al system." He is, therefore, in o ~or of the existing standard. it 'We shall follow M r.

BLACKSTOCK, May 23.-While no eposits of gold have ever been found or supposed to exist in this vicinity, tevertheless a genuine "gold fever" as affected some of our inest promi ent citizens and preading, d unlesi ;iri stopped bids fair to I Tfe'siver craze in the shade. Now h cause of this strange state of things found to be as follows: A young ian in Blacksburg, who claims to be spiritualist, clairvoyant, medino, or least to possess bomne kind of sup.-r tural gifts, while in a.prophetic amate *fmind, recently announced that tile Cornwallis was encamped at insboro in 1795 or '96 one of his odiers stole eighty thousand dollars fEnglish gold from the paymaster d buried it near Blackstock. where still remains, and that an old dead pie tree now marked the spot where be treasure lies hidden. The young op~'heni ascertai ned the w hereabou'a fBlackstock and has written to one of ecitizene, and bence the commotion. sarebing party went out yesterday ruiing, headed by the mayor of the nWl, who never itgs behind on any ,d word or work, and they returned dad with precious stuff-but, alas! was honey, not gold. While the story is regarded by many a fake, still there seems to be some rit or mysteriousness connected th it, and every old apple tree for les around will doubtless soon be dd low.
