-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. Carlisle again j
his discussion of this question, how f~
bange of standard creates confusion,
results of a silver standard, its f
~cts on prices and on the wage
-ner.)

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.
"Winter still lingers in the lap of
ing" and seems inclined to stay
re. Fires and overcoats were in
er to-day, and gardens and field
ps are at a standstill.
