It Is becoming ev ident that If nn thing Is to be accom plished It will bo only by the display of a much mora determined etand than has et been assumed by our government. let ters received here from the prisoner phow he Is still a stick man, suffering from con gestive chills and much weakened and de bilitated from his confinement and tho change in climate. Great pressure has been brought to bear upon the mate department to Induce It to secure justice for Waller, anil many prom inent men have Interested themselves In the case, two senators from Kansas, of which state Waller Is a citizen, have been particularly energetic and Senator Martin has called In person at tho state depait inont to urge prompt netlon. The department, some time ngo. Instruct ed Mr. I'ustls. our ambissndor at Paris, to make .1 thorough Investigation of Wall er's case, to see him and procure a copy of the recoid of the cnuit-mirtl.il sdiowlng tho eIdenee on which Waller suffered the extraordinary scveie sentence of confine ment for twenty years. Tho ambassador lias not been very suc cessful In executing his instinetlons.though it appears that ho has done all In his pow er to carry them out. 1'or ono thing, tho Trench government Ins absolutely refused tho ambassador the right to see Waller personally, a veiy extraordinary nttltudo to assume where the rights of an Ameri can citizen are concerned. Then It has failed so far to supply tho ambassador with the desired copy of tho cpurt-martlal record In order that our F icrnmcnt might satisfy itself of tho suf tlrjincy of the evidence on which Waller wa"t convicted It Is slid by Waller's friends here that altogether tho proceedings wore extreme ly irregular and a travesty upon justice. The fact that Mr. lhistls has as jet been unable to securo anything like 11 record appears to give weight to these statements. Then as to Paul Uray, Wallei's step-son. It is clear that lie was deported from Mad agascar and suffered hardships without the vestige of a trial or any legal proceed ing', and as ho is an American cltUen, thH must foini the subject of a demand for re dress. Altogether, tho case Is one threat ening to hold out many difllculties in tho w.ij of amicable adjustment, but In vlow of the pressure vvhith is being exerted on the state department, it may lie assumed that it will endeavor to do so before con gress meets again, and tuo subject is fur ther complicated b insti actions from tho legislative branch similar to thoso which formed the basis of action in tho Mora case.

It was more than ever a case where (ircek met Creek, and Interest In the tug of war heightened at one when If was seen the days of Perlcle, s well ns 17'U, 1S71 nnd other years, 110 matter how historic or Import ant, were all barred mote or less In favor of lSJfc .Mr. llorr lteuds Awhile. air, llorr opened the dispute with n written argument, touching tho Impossi bility of maintaining a Ilxed ratio between gold ami silver. As the lcsult of expe rience, nil the cHlll7ed nations of the globe had discarded silver ns a standard money. It was mcless lo exploit long tables of ratios to show whether a double standard mild bo maintained The world had pionouuccd against silver. .Mr. Barter Wools 1111 I'.xptamilloii. air. Harvey said he had been called on bv letters nnd telegrams to give state ments by HI line, lngalls and others ton corning the demonetization act Ho s.ild that tho words at his disposal In thu de bate would not admit of it. Taking up .Mi. Horr's eulogy of Sennlor Morrill, delivered on Saturday, he chuged that Senator Morrill erred In s.i)ing that no sliver dollar had been coined for fortv years prior to 1873. air. Harvey read from the report of tho director of the mint, showing that silver dollaia In greater or less amounts had been coined nearly every )oar. The fact was that .Mr. atorrlll was a bank stockholder with a b ink stock holder's prejudices. He called on air. Iloir to explain. air. llorr said that Mr. Morrill nnd not meant to s ly that not a dollar had tieen coined, but that noun to speak of 1 id. At most It could only bo said that air. aiorrill had made a mistake, air. H.itvey, In his book, hud made a mistake, a bad one, in staling the amount of silver lint had been coined during the life of the government. Mr. Horr declared that tho insinuation that because Judge aiorrill was 11 n owner of bank stock lie was not to be believed, wns too contemptible for Consideration. A l'a t In lllator). aiv. Hnrvcy said that In raising tho point of tho colnago of silver pi lor to IS" I, he wanted to establish a fact In history which had been obscured by false state ments that such coinage had not taken place. He wanted to nuke this answer In the piesence of the gold men. I'io ceedlng, air. H.uvoy said he did not mean to letleet on any man's integrity because lie was a bank stockholder. Ho meiely wanted to show that men were sweived in their expression of facts by their in terests .Mr Harvey then defined scientific bi metallism to be the fne coinage of both gold and silver at an assumed ratio, a change In the size of tho gold dollar when ever the parity between the gold and sll xer coins should require, the option to both Individuals and the government to pa) In tile cheaper metal. He held that, under these circumstances, silver would not depreciate, becausf there would be an unlimited demand at the l.itlo fixed bv law and no man would sell his bullion below the price at which he could have it coined Mr Harvey submitted a table to show that from 1S7 up to 1S7J the commercial ratio had lemnlned remarkably eloso to the legal ratio, notwithstanding tho d nionctUatlon of it by Knglnnd and another of the great nations of tho old world. llorr Impugns Kntlo. .Mr. Horr said this matter of ratio lias llttlo or nothing to do with the (mention. The fait was that all of the civllled nn tlons of the world refused to rccognlza sliver except at Its bullion value. I'or us to attempt free coinage alono was another matter. -Mr Horr then took up the prop osition of air. ll.uvey's hook that making the dollar of one-half tho present value would double the value of ever) thing In the I'ldted Slates except debts. .Mr. Horr pronounced this absurd, si)lng we might as well say that if w, cut our yard sticks in two It would double the amount of cloth In the conntr). Ho said air Harvey seemed to bo "stuck on" sweet "hi to 1." In Ids hook he tuoposed to keen metal values at a parlt) by reducing the amount of gold In the gold dollar. Carried to Its legitimate results me ratio would uccomo lt to 2 or 3.2 to 1. l'ertlneiit Illustration!. air. Harve) proceeded to argue thit holh gold and sliver were the measure of values until lc73. Beferrlng to the cutting of tho vaul stick in two, .Mi. Harvey said that the -old men had doubled the jard stick in JS7J He asked whether, If half the gold were destro)ed. the value of the gold dol lar would not be doublid air. Horr shook his head. Mr, Harvey said he would Illustrate It In another way, which tho farmers would understand. If half the wheat crop In the I'nlteil States weiu destio)ed, would not the pilcr of wheat on the Chicago board of tiado lie doubled? In demonetising sil ver In 1S71 the gold yaul stick li.nl been doubled, Tho fi lends of sllvci weto mere. ly asking for the restoration of tho meas uro b) readmitting silver to coinage. air Horr. In repl) to thu clinigo that the demonetisation of silver cut the value of products in two, said that It that were true, prices would have at once droppul no per cent. The fact was thu the) did not. If the destruction of half the wheat crop would raise prices four fold, tho de monetization of silver dlil not destroy It Hemming to the attack, .Mr. Horr said that ail. Hnrvcy did not eaie for ratio What ho wanted was u cheap dollar and the cheapening of tho emoluments of la bor, Tluit was the most prosperous coun try in which Its workmen were best paid. Bear Bnllnra nnd Cheap Dollurn. air. Harvey said that a dear dollar and a cheap uouar neru conipaiauvu leims 10 be measured, by a mans circumstances. If u gold dollar were worth more than a sliver dollar, some more costly substance might be found out from which to mnke dollars He said he did not propose to allow Mr Horr to posu as the friend of the laboring man. The gold men had thrown some four millions of vvorklngmen out of emplov mem, and had put some of them In prison because they objected to having their wages decreased, air. ildtvey promised at the proper time to show the loirlcnl relation of the gold basis to thu worklngmaii, Pro.perll) of the Country, Jlr.
