Bab Habbob, Ha, Sept 16.—The
following' letter on the mbJect of the
maintenance of the parity between
fold and silver, written by Secretary
Carlisle, was made public yesterday:
“Bab Habbob, Ha, Sept it—
Jamee P.-Helm, Louisville, Ky. My
Dear Sir: Your letter asking how
the silver dollars which contain a
quantity of bullion, commercially
worth only about fifty-three cents
each, are maintained at a parity with
gold, notwithstanding the faot that
the government does not directly re>
deem them, or the certificates Issued
npon them, in gold, Is received and,
as a great many inquiries , npon the
same subject are addressed to me
daily from different parts Of the
country, which it is impracticable to
answer in detail, I will take advan
tage of your favor, to auswer them all
at once.
“All the standard silver dollars le
sned from the mints since the passage
of the act of 1878, notv amounting to
more than t433,000,0u0, have been
coined on public account from bullion
purchased by the government and are
legal tender in payment of all debts,
public and private,. without regard to
tne tfmount, except when otherwise
expressly stipulated in the contract
between the patties. They belonged
to the government when coined and
they are paid out by the government
at a parity with gold for property and
services of all kinds, and received
from the people at a parity with gold
in the payment of all public dues and
demands. The government has made
no discrimination whatever between
the coins of the two metals, gold hav
ing been paid on its coin obligations
when gold was demanded, and silver
having been paid when silver was de
manded.
RESTRICTIONS PRESERVE PARITY.
“Under this policy the coinage has
been so limited by law and the policy
of the Treasury department that the
amount coined has ‘not become so
great as to drive the more valuable
coin, gold, out of use, and thus de
stroy the basts of our monetary sys
tem; and so long as the two metals are
of unequal commercial value, at the
ratio established by law, this limita
tion upon the coinage is, in my opin
ion, absolutely essential to the main
tenance of their parity in effecting
exchanges. It constitutes the princi
cal safeguard for the protection of
our currency against the depreciation
which the experience of all countries
has shown would otherwise result
from the attempt to nse two legal
tender coins of the same denomina
tion, but of unequal value. If the
limitation were removed, confidence
in the ability of the government to
preserve equality in the exchangeable
value of the coins would be destroyed
and the parity would be lost long be
fore the amount of silver coinage had
become really excessive.
“With free and unlimited coinage
of 'Silver fion account of private
individuals and corporations, the gov
ernment would be udder no moral
obligation to maintain the parity.and,
moreover, it would be unable to'do so,
because the volume of the over valued
silver forced into the circulation by a
legal tender provision would soon ex
pel gold from the country or put
such a premium upon it that it would
be impossible to procure and hold in
the treasury a sufficient amount to
provide for the redemption of silver
on presentation.
THE GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION,
“In order to maintain the parity
under such conditions the government
would be compelled from the begin
ning to exchange gold for silver dol
lars, and their paper representatives
whenever demanded; just as it now
exchanges gold for its own notes when
demanded, and as the coinage of
silver dollars would be unlimited and
therefore increasing, a point would
soon be reached where it would be
impossible to continue the process of
redemption. The inplied obligation
of the government to preserve the
value of the money, which it coins
from it6 own bullion and for its own
nse and which it forees its citizens to
receive in exchange for their property
and services has been supplemented
by two statutory declarations which
substantially pledge the public faith
to the maintenance of that policy.
1 '‘The act of July 14, 1890, after pro
viding that the Secretary of the Trees
rry should, under such regulations as
he might prescribe, redeem the treas
ury notes issued in the •purchase of
silver bullion in gold or silver coin at
his discretion, declares that it is ‘the
established policy of the United States
to maintain the two metals on a parity
with each other upon the present
legal ratio, or such ratio as may be
provided by law,’ and the net of' No
vember 1, 1893, again declares it to be
‘the policy of .the United States to
continue the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, and to coin
both gold and silver into inoney of
equal intrinsic and interchangeable
value, such equality' to be secured
through international agreement, or
by such safeguards of legislation as
will insure the maintenance of the
parity of valne of the coins of the two
metals, and the equal power of every
dollar at all times in the markets and
in the payment of debts.’
OOLD BEDEMf-TIOX.
“With knowledge of these assur
ances, the people have reoeived these
coins and have relied confidently
upon the good faith of their govern
ment, and the confidence thus inspired
has been a most potent factor in the
maintenance of the parity. The pub
lic has been satisfied that so long as
our present monetary system is pre
served the government will de what
ever its moral obligations and express
declarations require it to do. and very
largely as a consequence of this con
fidence in the good faith of the exec
utive authorities the silver eoias have
not depreciated in value.
"It la not doubted that wkttmi
can ba lawfully dona to malntaia
equality In tba exchangeable Talua ot
the two metals will ba dona whenevei
it becomes necessary, and, although
allrer dollars and stiver oertiflcatei
have not, np to tba present time, beat

the time shall ever come when the
parity cannot be otherwise main
tained, snob exchanges will be made
"It is the duty of tba secretary oi
the treasury, and of all other publts
officials, to exeoute In good faith tbs
policy declared by Congress, and
whenever he shall be satlailed that
the silver dollar eannot be kept equal
in purchasing power with the gold
dollar except by receiving it in ex
change for the gold dollar when such
exchange is demanded, it will be his
duty to adopt that course.
' "But it onr present - policy is ad

It reasonable limits the means hereto
fore employed for the maintenance of
the parity will doubtless be found
sufficient in the future, and our silver
dollars and silver certificates will

In the state legislature the Demo

The Populist and the Prohibitionist
votes have been received from only a
few towns, but it is evident that
neither party polled as large a vote as
two years ago.
Everywhere the most remarkable
gains are shown over two and four
years ago. Not only has the Repute
licaa vote made great gains, but the
Democratic vote- has fallen off, even
though the Democrats received great
accessions from the Populists, who
cast a light vote this year, preferring
to aid the Democrats rather than vote
their own ticket. In many towns
more than a third of the former Dem*
cratio vote was cast for the Republican
ticket.
Two hundred towns give Powers
52,850; Frank, 84,830; Republican

Che Republican Plurality WU1 Be Over
48,000—Estimates of the Total Tote.
Portland, Maine, Sept. 15.—Returns
from remote towns and plantations
are coming in slowly, but it Is almost
beyond question that the Republican
plurality will be ovdr 48,000 and it
may reach 50,00ft This is at least 10,
000 over the before phenomenal plu
rality of 38,878 of 1804.
In every county of the ctatc the Re
publican ticket wac successful, and
almost every town showed a fieplbli
can gain. The Democratic vote U
about forty per cent less than In 1883.
About half of this went to the Re
publican ticket and the atmy-at-homes
are reeponeible for the other hall !
The vote of the Populieta and Prohi
bitionists throughout the state showed
a loss from 1683 of about twenty-six
per cent.
The vote from 300 out of 519 cities,
towns and plantations is '66,921 for
Powers and'37,143 for Frank. In the
last election In 189«, when Cleaves 1
was elected by the then unprecedented
majority of 39,000, these towns gave
the Republican tloket 56,409 and the
Democratic 34,280, a Republican gain
in plurality of 2,918 this year. Esti
