LETTER BY SECRETARY CARLISLE
Bar Harbob, Me., Sept. 15, Secretary
Oarlisle baa written the following letter
on the maintenance of the parity be
tween gold and silver :
"Bar Harbor, Sept. 12, 18GC. Mr.
James P. Helm, Louisville, Ky. My
Dear Sir: Your letter asking how the
silver dollars, which contain a quantity
of bullion commercially worth only 53
cents each, are maintained at a parity
with gold, notwithstanding the fact that
government does not directly redeem
them or, the certificates issued upon
them in gold, is received, and as a great
many inquries upon the same' subject
are addressed to me daily from different
parts of the .country, which it is imprac
ticable to answer in detail, I will take
the advantage of your favor to answer
them all at once.
"The standard silver dollars issued
from the.mints since the passage of the
act of 1878, now amounting to more than
$433,000,000, have been coined on pub
lic account from bullion purchased by
the government, and are legal tender in
payment ot all debts, public and private,
without regard to the amount, except'
when otherwise stipulated expressly in
the contracts between the parties. They
belong to the government when coined,
and they are paid out by the govern
ment at a parity with gold for property
and set vices of all kinds, and are re
ceived from the people at a parity with
gold in the payment of all public dues
and demands. The government has
made no discrimination whatever be
tween the coins of the two metals, gold
having been paid upon its coin obliga
tions when gold was demanded, and sil
ver having been paid when silver was
demanded.
"Under the present policy, the coin
age 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 destroy the
basis of our monetary eyBtem ; and so
long as the two metals are of unequal
commercial value, at the ratio estab
lished by law, this limitation upon the
coinage is, in my opinion, absolutely es
sential to the maintenance of their par
ity in effecting exchanges. 1 1 constitutes
the principal resource of a cafe govern
ment for the protection of our cuirency
against the depreciation which the ex
perience of all countries has shown
would otherwise result from'tnV&tlempt
to use two legal-tender coins of the same
denomination, bnt of unequal value. If
the limitation were removed, confidence
in the ability of the government to pre
serve equality in the exchangeable value
of the coins would be destroyed, and the
parity would bo lost long before the
amount of silver coinage had 'become re
ally excessive.
"With free and unlimited coinage of
silver on account of private individuals
and corporations, the government would
be under no moral obligation to main
tain the parity, and moreover it would
be unable to do so because the volume
of overvalued silver forced into circula
tion by the legal-tender provision, would
soon expel gold from the country, or in
duce 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 or exchange
of silver on presentation. In ordr
maintain the parity under eur"
tions, the government won"
polled, from the bexinn"
gold for silver d"H
representative w '
as it now exr1
notes wher
coinage r'
liar
government will do whatever its moral
obligations and express declarations re
quire it to do, and very largely as a con
sequence of this confidence in the good
faith of the executive authorities, tbe
silver coins have not depreciated in
value. It is not doubted that whatever
can be lawfully done to maintain equal
ity in the exchangeable value of the
metals will be done whenever it becomes
necessary, and although silver dollars J
and silver certificates have not, uptoj
the present time, been received in ex
change for gold, if the time shall come
when the parity cannot be otherwise
maintained, such exchanges will be
made.
"It is the duly of the secretary of the
treasury and all public officials to exe
cute In good faith the policy declared by
congress, and whenever he shall be sat
isfied that the silver dollar cannot be
kept equal in purchasing power with the
gold dollar except by receiving it in ex
change for the gold dollar when such
change is demanded, it will be his duty
to adopt that course. But if our present
policy is adhered to and coinage is kept
within reasonable limits, the means
heretofore employed for the maintenance
of the parity will doubtless be found
sufficient in the future,'and our eilver
dollars and silvei certificates will con
tinue to circulate at par with gold, thus
enabling the people to use both metals
instead of one only, as would be the case
if the parity was destroyed by free coin
age. Yours truly,
JOHN G. OARLISLE."
RESULTS OF FREE TRADE IN
ENGLAND.

history, "Protection and Prosperity"
after showing in the most complete man

and giving a mas3of testimony before
the Royal commission concludes as fol
lows:
Never was such an indictment framed
against an economic policy. A similiar
condition of the working classes is not to
be fonnd in any civilized country on the
face of the globe. "Were the foregoing
statements contained in reports 'of Uni
ted States Consuls, or in letters written
by the most trustworthy and candid pro
tectionists, they '.would be denounced
and discredited by every professional
free trader in the 'world. But coming aa
theyilo, " from atTdiHciaV" report'to" the
British parliament, from men who were
held in snch high esteem by the govern
ment as to appear worthy of executing
snch an important trust, they cannot be
questioned. The report is above im
