THE SILTEIX QUESTION'
QLike Banquo's ghost' thp is one of
the questions7 that will not ttown."
; - The Boston Post said recently that
"every month $2,000,000 of gold 'in
the public treasury is paidj out 1 for
- $2,000,000 of silver to lie kuq in tne
' public treasury.'1, . ; s 5 :. j
This is not true. - , , '
The ' ' government . discriminates
' against silver in favor ot goia. -.
Under the . Republican party this
was done systematically. . -;
The administration of President
. Cleveland has followed in the ioot
- steps of its immediate predecessors.
V : The Government has fixed by law
the price of an ounce of gold -$20.75,
we believe. .. 1
Silver has been , made to'take its
chances like any other merchantable
commodity on the market.'
, Government buys silver for what
it will bring on the market. -
The standard weight of the silver
: dollar was fixed at 412i grains in 1792.
The weight of the gold dollar has
been changed several times in the
history of the country, but the silver J
dollar is the dollar of the :aaaaies;
If there is any dishonest.mbney in
circulation it is old.
. Gold and silver are both recognized
"in the Constitution and when stamps
ed with the fiat of the government
should pass for their face value, in
the interchange of commodities and
in the payment of obligations. .
The gold men say, however, that
the silver dollar, with its 412f grains
: of silver the same as it has been for
a hundred years is worth only 85
cents.. ' -.
Why?' - -
Because its intrinsic value is only
85 cents.
m fTheysay inelt it up, and there is
only 85 cents worth of bullion left.
Is this a good rule?
Will it work both ways? -.
Let us see! . ' .
The ten dollar greenback-legal ten
der-note is good.
' Burn it up, and its value . is de
stroyed. . ' t ' .
It hasn't even the '85 per cent. in
trinsic value of the Bland silver dol
lar. . , . '
Its vaJuo depends upon the fiat of
the. government.
The Supreme Court, of the United
States has said that the greenback
is money.
- r 16 has said that the government has
the right to take a piece of paper,
worthless in itself, and stamp on its
face money," and it is'money. ,
Then why not - let gold, silver,
greenbacks and the National Bank
bills stand upon the same footing? .
Our prayer is that we may have
- more of either. -r v
; If there is a surfeit of either we I
haven't been able to discover it. '
GAI5 0F GOLD.
July 1, 1880 the amount of gold in
the United States Treasury was $358,W
958,691, this was two years after the
demonetization of the silver dollar.
July 1, 1884, the amount.of gold re
ported in the Treasury, was $551,632,
: 442, a gain of $92,673,751 in four years
under fhe operation of a silver coin
age law, which it was claimed would
.drive gold out of the country. -
It is a long time to wait, but the
chances are that the Democrats will
have a majority in the United States
Senate after the 4th of March 1887.
The Democrats have already elected
a successor to Mahone in Virginia,-
and the possibilities are that the next
Senator from Indiana will be a Demo
crat, and the chances for Democratic
success are said to be good in Michi
gan, Connecticut, New Jersey and
California. Quien sabe.
- KINO FERDINAND'S AMERI
: j- CAN WIDOW.
- A Boston Tailor's Daughter the
WIf of aKing. ,
-: The. Boston Herald prints a letter
from a friend of Miss Hensler, making
some corrections in tne story about
" her marriage to Ferdinand, of Portu-
gal. tie says mat Aaoiph Jtfensler:
: ner miaer, was uut a musician as
. some of her Beacon Hill friends now
assert, but only a tailor.' In 1861 he
s was. a cutter for Clapp S. Gavitt, cor
ner of Bacon ana Tremont streets.
Afterwards he was one ot the firm of
'v Hensler , & Grathusen, first . doing
business on Washington street. Here
the partnership -was summarilvdis
solved by Mr.-Hensler's leaving the
firm 1 to attend to his daughter when
she went abroad to complete her mu
sical education. When Miss Hensler
. comes back to this country - she will
be known as Mrs. Wetlin. Ferdinand
was a prince in the house of Saxe Co
burg. The Saxe Coburger's family
name was Wetlin. Queen "Victoria's
' name is Wetlin, and in a suit at law
brought in America either Queen
Victoria or tailor Henslor's . daughter
would be designated wetlin. .
rTot Inrented hy Darwin but
Known in Time of Aristotle. ,
S&turdaj Berlew.
The theory of evolution as it was
called we believe, though we speak
under correction', that the expression
originated vnm rrot. Huxley was
not invented by Darwin, neither, was
me principal or natural selection ms
own discovery ; it had long existed,
though in a more or less undeveloped
Stage ; it had been suggested, as Dar
win; himself has reminded us, in the
PhysiccB AuscultatUmes of Aristotle,
(lib. ii. cap. ,viii. s. 2 ) It was the
hand of the great naturalist himself
that raised the theorv. so lone over
looked, to the rank of a highly elabo
rate: ana accepted biological system,
correcting the prevalent idea to which
so many distinguished men had given
their adhesion, that every species of
plant or animal owed it present form
and its original existence to a distinct
act of special creation. How earnestly
this latter view had entered into the
conception , of ' the worth of natural
science, and how sincerely it was ens
tained, was shown by the opposition
which was at once excited an oppo
sition which arose partly from ) mis
conception of Darwin's real teaching,
and partly, no doubt, as we have al
ready seen, from the aggressive atti-
tude assumed by some of those who
seemed to welcome in evolution the
discomfiture of belief. . Our ablest sci
entific men, as was indeedHbecoming,
set the example of reserve. Lyell's
acceptance or. Darwinism was not fi
nally declared until he published his
"Antiquity of Man," (1863). Huxley
showed himself by no means uncon
scious of the difficulties which beset
a full acceptance ef "the new truth?'
In 'Man's Place in Nature" he writes i
'Mr. Darwin's hypothesis is not, so
far as I am aware, inconsistent with
any known. biological fact '; '
I. for one, am fully convinced that,
if not precisely true, that hypothesis
is as near an approximation to the
truth as. for example, the Uopermcan
system"; was to the true theory of
planetary motion. . v ' ;' ;'-"
Our acceptance of the Dar winian hy
pothesis must be provisional so long
as one link in the chain of evidence
is wanting, and so long as the animals
and plants certainly produced by ses
lection . breeding ? from a , common
stock, are fertile, and their progeny
are fertile with one another, that link
will be. wanting." This objection, if
not now so powerful, may not lightly
be disregarded. Haeckel, indeed, as
serts (1876) that the necessary link is
restored, citing in evidence the Porto
Santo rabbit,- which, with some touch
perhaps of ; humor, he names Lepus
Huxley i. This little rodent, isolated
since the year 1419, has become "a
good spocies," distinguished by color,
rat-Hke shape, . small size, &c and
now no longer pairs with its Europe
an parent rabbit. We ought to know
the whole circumstance attending the
experiment bsf ore we can regard the
result as conclusive; meanwhile the
fertility of some hybrids has been esf
tablishedi thus,' partially at least, re
moving a further . objection to Dai
wmism. Lyell, writing in' 1863, ob
served that in the preceeding quarter
of a century thousands I of fossilized
bones belonging to extinct and living
species of mammalia had - been sub
mitted to the examination of skillful
osteologists, who have been unable
to detect among them one fragment
of a human skeleton, or even a single
human; tooth; his statement; even m
this day, can hardly be termed ex
aggerated. ' ' 1 -
Gold Standard.
Chicago Mining Kecord. - - .
J. A belief apparently prevails 'that
gold differs from every mother pro
duct and has a fixed , and ! inherent
value which never changes, but a lit
tle knowledge of financial history
never would remove this impression.
Gold at the present time has a fixed
value, a value fixed bv legislation
and that alone gives it the stability
it apparently possesses, as recently
as 1844 the bank of England was re
quired by parliament tolpurchase all
the gold offered, and pay for the same
3. 17s 9d. per standard ounce. This
was a forced and fictitious value, as
for nearly three hundred and fifty
years, tne average price was only 3.
8s. 5d. per ounce. The price of gold
had varied from 2. 4s. Id. to 3. 10s.
per ounce; and during this whole pe-'
riod the amount of gold called one
dollar never was worth as bullion the
amount credited to ' it as currency
Since 1844 gold has maintained: this
extravagant value, and has . conse
quently been free irom fluctuation,
but this argues no - substantial char-
actor but is created by legislation
solely; - During this period of nearly
three hundred and fifty years, the
silver constituting the silver dollar
was never worth ; less : than f 1.081
This Silver m its intrinsic yalue : Has
maintained its real worth through
every .vicissitude, while : gold has
s no wn constant fluctuation and nev
er reached its present fixed and ficti
tious valuation, until the strong force
of law gave it the present ; standard
value. ; ' -4-- v
