noiince the Action of tire liu'iuu
Govcrnnieiit.
New York, July 24. Richard
Lacy of this city has received a let
ter on the silver question from Rich
ard Lacey Everett, member of the
British parliament, iu which he says:
"The feeling of the many fiiends of
free coinage of both metals iu
England, both to be legal tender, is
strong against the action of the
government as to India. First, be
cause it has taken a step of world
wide iraportasce without consulting
parliament, though parliament was
Bitting at the time; second, because
having in the early part of the ses
sion indignantly denounced tamper
ing with the currency, it had noyr
tampered with it in a way that rests
upon no principle, and that will ad
Tersely affect the dumb helpless mil
lions of the continent of India;
third, because it did all it could to
frustrate coming to an international
agreement as to silver and gold at
Brussels, while it now seeks to car
ry out a bastard bimetallism between
India and England by their joint
action alone: fourth, having railed
at the folly of the idea of attemp
ting to fix an artificial value of one
metal, it is now aiming to do that
very thiDg; fifth, because a farther
new demand for gold will be created
for what is proposed, to artificially
further raising the value of that met
al and by consequent forcing down
the prices of commodities to the
urther depression of industry and
the adding to the but den of all debts
sixth, because new difficulties will be
created between India and China
Japau and other silver usiug couu

cy tends to restrict the supply
money instead of leaving it free and
automatic.
e iook anxiously now to see
what the United States will do. W
earnestly hope that free coitage at
the same ratio will be America's an
swer. The one great supreme aim
of the moneyed classes and the Lon
don press is to restrict the supply
of money so as to enrich the owners
of it at the expense of the raisers of
produce and the owners of land and
other real property. We hope that
the sharp intelligence of your people
in the main a nation of producers
and land owners, will see through
this cruel game of the moneyed
classes and frustrate it. The mis
eries of the agricultural classes here
are indescribable, but they don't
clearly see why it is that prices are
forced down to their ruin, so it is
difficult to get them to move. The
wits of the American farmers are
sharper. I hope our salvation will
come from you."

playing in a boat on the river. They
were iu the habit of playing iu the

mother that the boy a lad of 14 had
fallen out of the boat into a deep
hole iu the river over which the
boat bad drifted. The father of the
poor boy was at woik about one
