W THE THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1890 Tiling Bluoj ers, t ami rir" tai loo! wa pa CO! tt la to 6 Silver. What We Have Unite for It, unci the Itesult. From tho Now York World.1 biivcr demonetized Itself In 1873. It was left out of tho coinage act of that year because tho silver in a dollar was worth moro man a Hollar. Nobody wanted to wasto money by coining at 10 to 1 silver which was worth 1 for every 15.02 as mere ruotal. By 1878 silver had so Increased In pro duction and so fallen In prlco that It would have required a ratio of 17.04 to 1 to make COOU monev Of It. Tim "frlnniL nf ullror" called upon tho government to restore the vauo ot me metal by passing tho Bland Allison act, and Congress did so. The government for twelvo years bought and coined $24,000,000 worth of It each vcar. But so far from restoring Its value the re sult was that at the end of the twelve years tho ratio between silver and gold was 10.70 10 1. Then came the demand for larger pur chases. Tho Sherman law was passed re quiring tho government to buy 54,000,000 ounces of silver each year and put it Into circulation in the form of full legal-tender notes, mis mo silver leaders declared would at once put silver back to Its old ratio with gold by absorbing the whole American product. But it had precisely the opposite effect. By 1804 tho value of sliver had so far declined that its ratio to gold was 32.50 to 1, and the distrust of our finances which these concessions to silver had aroused caused a disastrous panic, the export of $200,000,000 of gold, the enor mous return of American securities and a distressing paralysis of business from which wo nave not yet recovered. Tho country is now asked to make another and still madder experiment. It Is asked to throw its mints open to the free anu unlimited coinage of all the s lver In the world at 10 to 1 when It Is worth about 1 to 30, with a prospect of still further de cline. The demand Is made upon the plea that me country snouid "do something tor sil vcr." Yet it has already done moro for suver man any other country ever did and moro than It could afford to do. It has put $000,000,000 of sliver Into circulation It has choked the vaults of the treasury with bullion for which it has neither a use nor a market and which it could not sell today for nearly what It paid for It. It has Issued In payment for this metal a great and embarrassing volumo of treasury notes wmcu u nas constantly stood ready to re deem In gold on demand. In order to do this it has Issued some hundreds of mil lions of bonds on which it must pay inter est. All this has been done for silver, with panic and prostrated industry for results. The only effect, so far as silver is concern ed, has been to reduce Its value bv one half. Yet we are now asked to Invite financial chaos by doing more, by making silver our only money at fifty cents on the dollar, by repudiating half our Indebtedness, national, state, municipal, corporate and individual. We are asked to drive ail the gold out of tho country, to destroy our foreign credit, to endure such currency contraction as the world has never known In any country, and to sink our nation to the level of a South American state, all for the sake of enabling some silver miners to enrich themselves and some dishonest debtors to defraud their creditors. The World dees not believe that the American people will listen to such coun sels of the winds. It does not believe that either of the great parties can win upon such a.program. Republican District Convention. A Republican convention for the Second Congressional district of Vermont will be held at Montpelier on Tuesday, June 10th, 1800, at 4 o'clock i. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Representative to the fifty-fifth Congress of the United States, to bo supported by the freemen of the district at tho next September election; also a district committee for the ensuing biennial term.

Early In the present month Alpha Mcs ser, the secretary of the executive com mittee of the Vermont state grange, sent letters to Major Grout and Speaker Stick ney on the subject of reducing state ex penditures. A copy of these resolutions, adopted by the Vermont state grange at Its last meeting, was enclosed and a reply requested: llesoheJ, That the Vermont state grange in twenty-fourth annual session as sembled, respectfully ask that the next legislature make such provisions for re ducing the anlount of public expenditures as the exigencies of the times demand, without injury to our public institutions, and the proper administration of the af fairs of the state government. llesoked, That the salaries of public of ficers in this state bo reduced so as to con form to an amount not exceeding the sum paid for such salaries during the fiscal year of 18S0. Mr. Crout'a Heply. Dkkiiv, Vt., May 8, 1S00. Ji dear Mr. Mcsscr: Yours of th fourth Inst, stating the desire of vour committee to know my views upon the subject matter of state expenses, has been considered and for answer will say: 1 re gard It the duty of every citizen of Ver mont to lend his influence and cast his vote to secure the minimum of expendi ture in state disbursements. Every state expense should be kept upon the most economical basis consistent with the wel fare of the public service. Economy, al ways a virtue, becomes in the exigencies of tho times a necessity, and should be practiced as well in public as private af. fairs. Our public outgoes should bo meas ured by our income which, upon a just .urn cquai uasis, suouui ue regulated ac cording to tho taxpaylng ability of the people and needs of the state. Subjected to the lowest price known In years for everjuiiiiK ue produces, the farmer may well urge the most frugal practices in ad ministering the affairs of state; and being a farmer I sincerely sympathize with him and hope he will in common with all the people of the state contend for simplicity and economy which will more surely than anything else lead us to prosperity and happiness. I am in accord with the pur pose of the resolutions to which you refer. Thanking you for the honor of your in quiry, I am, Cordially, Josiah Gisout. 3Ir, Stlcknej'i Heply. Lt.-m.ow, Vt., May 10, 1800. Alpha Mcsscr, Esq., Sec'y, etc. My Dear Sir: On my return home to day I find your esteemed favor of the ninth Inst., and In reply would say that I believe In making all state expenditures as small as Is consistent with an efficient adminis tration of tho stato government; and while the state cannot afford to pursuo a parsi monious course either with its Institutions or officers, at tho same timo tho strictest economy should be practiced in all depart ments, and ollicial salaries should bo lim ited to a fair compensation for actually rendered. Tho times aro hard and taxes should be reduced as much as they can bo and pay as we go. I remain, i uur uuemuui servant, William W. Stickxkv. Stomach AND LIVER TROUBLES CURED Mrs. J. F.

What on earth possessed Rudvard KId. ling to write and actually to allow to bo published mo bicycle poem that appears over ins naino in a recent issue of a aim uay newspaperi" it was vulgar, it was dreary. It was dull. The Intensity of our admiration for Mr. Kipling's other works is tho measure of our disgust for such a prostitution of his name. Doubt less he received for tills poor dtlvel largo sum of money; but if he puts forth many more such bits of doggerel tho mar ket valuo of his writing will sink to that of any conscienceless literary hack. Mr. Kipling should take tho advico that wo gave him a year ago, and return to India and drink once moro at the sourco of his original Inspiration. It is positively apall. Ing to think of this brilliant genius do scendlng to such cheap fun as canbo de rived from Incongruous watlowlngs In Pennsylvania Dutch. "Shretrd Ilemarka." Mr. Kipling will spend the summer in England, and If he finds the weather en. durable will probably winter thcro also, During a recent visit to New York ho made some shrewd remarks about tho comparative points of view of tho English man, the Frenchman and the American. "The Englishman," says Mr. Klnllng. "will die for liberty, but ho doesn't care a straw for equality. The Frenchman, cn the other hand, doesn't really know what liberty means, but he must have eoualitv, As for the American he Is Indifferent to both liberty and equality, and goes heart and soul for fraternity. This Is really the banc of tho American nation ; so long as a man Is 'a good fellow' he can do anything anu people will approve, or, at least will tolerate it." There is really a considerable amount of profound truth in these few sentences. Mlsa Wllklna'a "Mailelnii." We havo a deep and sincere admiration for Miss Mary E. Wilklns's work, and were among the first to recognize Its dis tinctive merit elsewhere, when "A humble romance and other stories" was published several years ago. Indeed, long before the stories had been gathered Into book form the writer had come upon "A humble ro mance" in a Scottish weekly- where it had been copied, doubtless, fiotn the American periodical in which It originally appeared and although the author was then unknown, the remarkable power of me story was sullicient to mark one sum mer Saturday afternoon Indelible in a life and to relegate the precious clipping to a scrap-book. Then came "Pembroke," which, if we mistake not, Mr. Hamilton W, Mabio was the first to pronounce "the greatest piece of fiction in America since 'The scarlet letter.' " "Tho long arm" we viewed mainly as an experiment and a sort oi uy-piay to the author's eeit mate art: but our disappointment Is keen after read ing Miss Wilklns's new book. It is a thousand pities that after such work as "Pembroke" so Inferior a production as ".uatieioii" should have been published; and It lias been with mature deliberation and clear discrimination that the review which appears on another page has been written. But we shall not yet lose faith in miss vt llKlns, and we wish her a speedv recovery from her recent illness and a fresh conquest In the Held which Is still her own, MME. BKAZZI. Mrs. Pratt's success at Geneva was evi dently maintained to the end of the spa .inn- Here are some of the later press notices of uer wont: l-a Tribune de Genere.) Mine. Brazzi.- In the role of "Ortrndc" showed herself a remarkable tragedian, and although the role In certain places is writ ten too high for a contralto voice, she made a great effect. Her sculptural beauty, and the mobility of her attitudes wore tinlver. sally admired. Here is an artist who has constantly progressed In the esteem of the public. IL'Echo de Geneve.) All our felicitations to Mine. Brazzi, who had a most complete success, and who snowed us an "Ortrude" absolutely dram atlc. Her voice, so beautiful, warm and vibrating, made a wonderful effect iu this role, which she can count among her best. ILe Genevols. Xelther is Mine. Brazzi a stranger to the Wagnerian traditions. Her "Ortrude" Is a superior performance. The gestures are rare, but of great mobility and telling ex pression; the voice, supple or caressing, vi brating, threatening or insinuating as the occasion demands. Great success from be ginning to end of the second act. ILa Scene.) Mine. Brazzi conies immediately after with her gestures so ample, dramatic, en ergetic, and her expressive and passionate singing. Her success in the second act was a crescendo from her dialogue with "Fred erick," her malediction against "Elsa," her duet with the fiancee of "Lohengrin," to the scene where she refuses to walk with the "Princess of Brabant." Le Monde Artlate, l'arla.) With Mme. Brazzi we have had a verit able revelation In the role of "Lola," which has always passed unobserved, but thcro are no small roles for an artist of her tal ents. Mme. Brazzi is one of those rare artists who unite with plastic qualities those of a powerful voice, but nevertheless so supple as to conform to the varying accents of the situation, and.with whom the comedian, may I say the tragedian, Is as great as the singer. In the role of "Herodlade," which requires a finished artist, she had great success. Absolutely perfect Mme. Brazzi In the role of "Ortrude," where we cannot better praise than comparing her to "Materna" for Intensity of expression and fire, but with a firmer voice. DARTMOUTH NOTE8.

" THE NEWS IN BRIEF. Coronation of the Cxnr Amid Impoallifr Cereiuoulnla Ntich aa 111 Worlil Una Itnrely Wltneaaeil. Tho chief dav of all the ceremonies con nectcd with the coronation at Moscow, the uay up to which an previous days led, was Tuesday. Tho weather was fine and tho sky cloudless. Tho Kremlin, which was the centre of attraction, was early sur rounded by waiting crowds who had no possible hope of getting Inside, but were satisfied to sco what they could outside tho wans. All Moscow had come to catch glimpse of the emperor and empress and their brilliant suite, as they decended the red stalrcaso from the Kremlin palace and crossed the enclosure to the cathedral. Tho mother of tho emperor was the first oi mo imperial party to appear, lmmedl ately after, amid tumultuous shouts from outside, came the emperor and empress, They were received by tho clergy and es corted to the steps of tho altar. An lm. presslve ecclesiastical ceremonial followed Immediately after this tho czar received mo crown from the metropolitan of St Petersburg, and standing in full sight all the people, and still before tho altar, with both hands placed tho crown uoon his head. Then, taking in his right hand the sceptor in which blazed the famous Orioff diamond, and the globe of the empire his left, he ascended the dais and took his seat upon the. throne. This was tho supreme moment of all and at the instant the cannon of the arse nal thundered forth, the bells rang, an the bands massed outside played the nation al anthem. The emperor, after occupying me throne for a few seconds, rose and placing the scepter and the globe on the table by his side, turned to tho empress and, taxing oil his crown, touched her forehead with It. She then knelt before him on a crimson velvet cushion, when the emperor placed upon her head her own crown, which Is surmounted by a large sapphire. The empress's ladles of honor fixed tho crown on her head with a cold comb, and then robed her in her mantle of cloth of gold, ermine-lined like the em perors. The members of the imperial family and me toreign princes now advanced and con gratulated the imperial couple, while others in the church bowed thrice toward the throne. Suddenly the cannon, bells and bands ceased, and a deep silence ensued while the czar knelt and solemnly uttered the prayer of coronation. a grand banquet in state, the emperor and empress wearing tlieir imperial crowns closed me days ceremonials.
