There was no "crime
against
silver in 1873.
The act of 1873" merely discon
tinued the coinage of standard sil
ver dollars.
The coinage of silver dollars was
resumed in 1878 and has continued
ever since.
More silver dollars were coined
by the United States mints in the
first six months of 1896 than were
coined by the United States in the
first sixty years of the present. cen
tury. From 1792 to 1834 all American
silver dollars were coined at the,
ralio of 15 to 1. Since' 183 they
have been coined at the ratio of 16
to 1. The change in ratio -was
made because of the change in the
market value of silver.
The American silver dollar has
always been and is. now a legal
tender for all debts, public and
private, to any amount.
No silver standard country has a

PUBELY POLITICAL.
A McKinley and Hobart club com
posed of democrats has been organ
ized at Plain field, N. J.
The Davenport Democrat reports
that there are hundreds of demo
crats in Cass county, Iowa, who
openly repudiate the Chicago
ticket.
Sidney A. Perkins, president ol
the national republican college
league, says that the league now
has a membership of more than
70,000.
Mr. Randolph Bartou, a prominent
lawyer of Baltimore, Md., has
withdrawn from the democratic
state ticket as elector-at-large.
He announces his intention to vote
for McKinley and sound money.
With fifteen counties missing the
New York Herald's poll of New
York shows estimated democratic
losses from the vote of 1892 of 118,
420, and a republican loss ot 5.166
a net democratic defection of 113,
254. It is believed that the counties
not estimated will increase rather
than lessen the democratic loss.
The reporters of the Courier
Journal canvassed the manufac
turing establishments ot Louisville
and secured the opinions of 406
democratic workingmen. Of this
number 226 expressed themselves
against the Chicago platform, 136
said they would support it and 41
were non-committal.
Hardware men of six states,
gathered at Des Moines, declared
against free silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 to gold. The hardware men
doubtless have a lurking suspicion
that if silver can he raised.-to a
parity with gold by a platform dec
laration followed by a congressional
action, iron might possibly be, too,
and it will be in order for them to
declare for the free coinage ot iron
to offset the silver fellows. Ex.
Colonel John R. Fellows, a lead
ing Tammanyite and lieutenant of
Senator Hill, says: New York will
go for McKinley by 100,000, to 150,
uuu majority. 'ue state is over
whelmingly for sound money. I
believe McKinley will sweep the
wholecountry and be elected. Some
of the western states may give a
majority for silver.but the conserv
ative common sense of the country
will assert itself and prevail."
Twenty years ago the west was
convulsed with the greenback craze,

Of couviW the mystery 13 gone from

Almost every gap between two peaks

Why Tli Wear Hate. -
History does not tell, so far as we
know, how it came about that members
of the English parliament wear their
hats. Thg custom has descended from an
age when: its proceedings werci.not re
corded, but 011 may suspect that there
by hangs;a tide of sturdy and victorious
revolt against privilege, such as broke
out at Versailles, could it bo recovered.
How andTigain we find antiquaallusions
to the practice. When the commons
voted that every one should "uncover
or stir or move his hat ' when the speak
er expressed the thanks of the house for
any service done by .a member, Lord
Falkland "stretched both his arms out
and clasped his bands together. on the
crown of his hat "and held it down- close
to his head, that all might see how odi
ous that flattery was to him." Pall
