Editor People’s Party Paper:
In your issue of July 17th, in an
swer to T. A. Sloan, you cite cor
reo’.ly the coinage law of 1792, which
directed that gold coins should be
eleven-twelfths fine.
But in the rest of your reply you
make statements which leave the im
pression that our coins are still eleven
twelfths fine.
My understanding matter is
that the act of April author
ial d to bo coined Units—
to contain 371 j grainflKureor 41G
grains of standard silßly this was
1685 parts fine in 16«BThis same
law authorized the o«®|ke of gold
and fixed the standardflKl parts fine
to one of alloy.
By the act of JiielSr 1836, the
gold dollar was reduWffroru 24.75
to 23 2 grams of ptSTgold. This
changed the ratio to 1 to 16
to 1 and the fineness wwßlso changed.
The silver dollar was®t changed.
By the act of 'HrA 8, 1837, the
gold dollar was changed by
adding 2 100 of a graflrof pure gold
and making the staiidFd nine-tenths
fine. Wj
At the same time the silver dollar
was changed by takivq out part of
the alloy, but left the Amount of pure
silver exactly as established at the
first, and stf|l remains, Both coins
were thus made iiincAnths fine as
they still remain. V
The English coins are 22 “carats”
fine or 22 parts in 24 parte, and our
first coins were made like them.
It will be noticed that in the olden
times when a difference in the market
price of gold an I silver arose the
weight of the gold coin was always
changed to correspond to the value
of the silver unit.
Now when the robber bondholders
have doubled the value of gold by
legislation obtained by bribery and
corruption they say we are dishonest
if we do not pay in either the gold
dollar, whioh they hr.ve made equal
to 200 cents, or else put twice as
much silver into a dollar as we agreed
to in the contract. Please state if
my understanding be correct.
Respectfully,
R. T. Steels.

Watson’s New Book.
Mr. Watson has in press the firs!
volume of a History of France, treat
ed from the point of view of a mod
ern reformer. Commencing with
ancient Gau , the book ends with the
death of Joan of Arc.
The Past is the wisest teacher of
the 1 resent, and no nation teaohes
more impressively than Franoe. In
this first volume, the original abuses
of the system by which the Church
and the State finally maddened the
people and them into the wild
excesses of the French Revolution,
are clearly traced.
The second volume will embrace
the French Revolution; and the third
will give the story of Napoleon, and
the subsequent history of France
, down to the present time.
1 he Author believes that ins Les
sons of Reform and the vital impor
tance of Good Government can ba
better taught from the stern experi
ence of nations than from editorials
or from speeches.
The work now in press will be
ready for delivery in a few days.
It will be bound in cloth, printed
on first class paper and in the best
