Silver Dollnrs.
Tho following lettor, sctting forth tbo
rcal meauing nnd tho fncta about froo
coinngo of silvor, has beon writton by
Secrctary Carlislo from his sumruor rc
trent iu Bar Ilarbor, Maino, and nd
drosBcd to Jamcs P. Helm, Louisville,
Kontucky:
My Dear Sir: Your lettor nsklng
how tho oilvcr dollnrs, which contaiu n
quautity of bullion commerclally worlh
only nbout flfty-threo cents each,
aro maiutaincd at a parily with gold,
notwithstanding tho fact that tho gov
ornmenl doos not dircctlyredeenitheni,
or tho ccrtillcatcs issued upon thoni,
iu gold, is rccoivcd, and, ns n grcat
many inquiries upon tho satuo subjcct
aro addressed to mo daily from dillor
out parts of tho country, which it is im
practicablo to answcr iu dctail, I will
tako advautnge of your fovor to nnswcr
thcm all at onco:
All tho standard silver dollnrs iBsucd
from tho miuts sinco thc paesago of tho
aot of 1878, now amountiug to moro
than 488,000,000, havo been coined on
Eublic accouut, from bullion purchasod
y tho governmont, and aro legal tcn
dor in paymont of all dobts, public aud
private, without regard to tho amount,
oxcept whon otherwiso oxpressly stipu
latcd in tho contract betweeu tho pnr
ties. Thoy belong to tho govornmeut
whon coincd, and thcy aro paid out by
the governmont at a parity with gold
for property and services of all kinds,
aud received from tho peoplo at a parity
with gold, in the paymont of all public
ducs aud dcinanda.
Tho govornmeut has mado no dis
crimination whatovor botween tho coius
of tho two metals, gold having beon
paid ou its coin obligalions when gold
was dcmandod, and Bilver having beeu
paid when silvor was demandcd.
Under this policy tho coinago has
been bo limited by law and tho policy
of tho trcasury department that the
amount coincd has uot become so great
as to drivo tbo moro valuable coin, gold,
out of ubc, and thus dcstroy tho baais
of our monetary system; aud so long
as tho two metals aro of unequal cotu
mercial valuo, at tho ratio cstablishcd
by law, this limitation upon the coinago
is, iu my opinion, absolutely OBsential
to the maintonanco of thoir parity in
effoctingexchangoB. It constitutcs tho
principal safcguard for the protection
of our currency against the deprecia
tion which tho experionco of all coun
tries haB showu would othorwiso rcoult
from tho attempt to use two legal ton
dor coins of the samo denomination but
of unequal valuo.
If tho limitation wero rcmoved confl
denco in tho ability of the govornmeut
to presorve equallty in the exchango-
nble valuo of tho coins would bo de
stroyed, aud tho parity would bo lost
long before ' tho amount of silvor coin
ago had becomo rcally excessive.
With freo and uulimited coinago of
silvor on account of privato individuals
and corporations tno governmont would
bo under no moral obligation to main
tain tho parity, and, morover, it would
bo unablo to uo so, becauso tbo volumo
of ovorvalued silvor forced intocircu
lation by a iogal touderproviaion would
soou oxpel gold from tho country, or
put Buch a premium upon it that it
would bo impossible to procuro and hold
in tho treaBurv a Bufllcient amount to
provido for tho redomption of silvor on
prescntation, In ordorto maintain tho
parity uuder such conditions tho gov
ernmont would bo compolled frora tho
bCL'inniu" to oxehanL'n L'old for silver
doUars, or their paper reprcsoutntivcs,
wnonevor uomnmied, just as it now ex
changcB gold for ils own uotes whon de
inandcd: and as tho coinago of silvor
dollars would ba uulimited, and, thoro
foro, conBtantly lucreasing, a poiut
would Boon bo reached whero it would
bo imposBiblo to continuo tho proccBa
of redemption.
Tho implied obligation of tho gov
crnment to prcservo tho valuo of tho
money which it coins from its own bul
lion, and for its own uso, aud which it
forcoa lts citizens to recoivo in ex
chango for thoir proporty aud servicos,
has boon Bupplemunted by two Btatutory
declarntlons, which substantially plodgo
the public faith to tho mainteuanco of
that policy. Thoactof July 14,1800,
oftor providing that tho Becrotary of
tho trcaeury should, under Buch regula
tions as ho might preBcrlbo, rcdoom
tho troasury uotes Issued in tho pur
chaso of Bilver bullion, iu gold or silvor
coin, at his diBcrotion, declarcs thatit
is " tho establlshed policy of tho Unltod
Statos to maintain tho two motals on a
pnrty with cnch othcr upon tho prosont
lagal ratio, or such ratio as may bo pro
vidod by law," aud tho act of Novom
bor 1, 1893, again declarcs it to bo " tho
policy of tho Unltod Statcs to con
tinuo tho ubo of both gold aud Bilver
as atnndnrd inonoy, and to coin
botli gold and silvor into monoy of
rqual lntrlnslc and exchaugoablo valuo,
such cquality to bo Becurod through iu
tornatlonal agroemont or by such eafo
guards of lcglBlation as will iusuro tho
maintonanco of tho parity of valuo of
tho coins of tho two motals and tho
cqual powor of ovory dollar, at all
timcs, in tho tnarkot aud iu tho pay
mont of dobts."
With knowledgo of thoBO nsauranccs,
tho peoplo havo rccoivcd thcso coins,
and havo rollcd confldonlly upon tho
good faith of thoir governmont; and
tho confldenco thus luspircd has be
como a most importaut factor in tho
maintonanco of tho pnrlty. Tho public
has boon eatlsflcd that, so long as our
prcsent raonetiry systom is prcservod,
tho govornmeut will do whatovor its
moral obllgationa and cxpress dcclara
tions requlro it to do, and vory largely,
as a conscquonco of this confldenco in
tho good faith of tho oxecutlvo author
tios, tho silvor coins havo not depro
cinted iu valuo. It is not doubtcd that
whatovor can bo lawfully dono to main
tain cquality in tho exchangeablo
valuo of tho two motals will bo dono
whenevor it becomcst nccessary, and,
although silvor dollars and silver corti
flcatC8 havo not, up to tho prosont timo,
bccn received in oxcbango for gold,
yot, if tho timo Bhall ovor como whou
tho parity cannot bo othorwiso raain
tained, such cxchangcs will bo mado.
It is tho duty of tho aecrolary of tho
trcasury and of all other public ofllcials,
to exccuto iu good faith tho policy dc
clarcd by cougrcss, aud whonovor ho
shall bo Batisfled that tho silvor dollar
cannot bo kept cqual in purchasiug
powor with tho gold dollar, oxcept by
receiving it iu exchango for the gold
dollar, whon such exchango bo de
mandod, it will bo his duty to adopt
that course. But, if our prcsent policy
is adhcrcd to, and tho coinago is kopt
within rcasonablo lirails, tho mcans
horetoforo employcd for tho mainto
nauce of tho parity will doubtlpss bo
found sufllcient in tho futuro, and our
Bilver dollars and silvor ccrtiflcalcB will
continuo to circulato at par with gold,
thus cnabling tho peoplo to ubo both
motals, instcad of ono only, as would
be tho cbbo if tho parity woro doBtroyed
by froo coinago. J. G. Cahlyle.

Early lVnr Timcs.
Somo of tho earliest flghting of tho
war was dono in Missouri. Ono of tho
severest battlcs fought was that' of
Springflold, or, as it is moro populnrly
known, " Wilson'a Crook." It was in
thlB engagomont that Gcuoral John M.
Schoflold first displaycd that admirablo
courage nnd genloua for command
which led to his becoming ono of tho
prcat commanders of tho FedornU, and
flnally roaching tho oxaltod honor of
Gonoral-iu-Ohlof of tho Unitod StntoB
Army. Ilo wns thon n major, aud
though his aorvico at lator poriods of
tho war was of a most distinguiahod
character, it was his galhntry on this
occaaiou which was selectcd ns most
desorvlng to givo him rank among tho
natiou'd hcroos.
Ou tho ovonlng of August 8, Goucral
Lyon, who was in command of the
Union Army, discovorlug that ho was

Tho Gonornrs opinion of what wn

his oillcors. Tho atlack was mado on
tho following day, with varylug condi

eult In doubt. Tho onoiny's great
aupcriorlty in numbors had much to do
