FOR "SOUND” MONEY.

Secretary of the Treasury Carliale Opens the Campaign Covington, Ky., May 21—The secretary of the United States treasury, Jno. G. Carlisle, opened the discussion of the question of "sound” money here last night. Mr. Carlisle began his speech by giving a review of the administration of the government since Mr. Cleveland began his first term. He then plunged directly into the silver question, first giving a review of the coinage legislation to show that there was nothing surreptitious in the demonetization act of 1873. He said silver is not demonetized in this country, but its coinage has been so limited and regulated by law and the financial affairs of the government have been so conducted that up to the present time its purchasing power has been preserved and its circulation to a large amount has been maintained concurrently with other forms of money, notwithstanding it has been coined at a ratio which does not conform to the real value of the metal contained in it. He said the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would drive out gold and simply mean silver and cut down the unit of vaiue about one-half. Mr. Carlisle contended that a drop to a silver basis would not advance prices at once, owing to the contraction of the currency by the withdrawal of gold, which would alarm the country, destroy credit, and precipitate a panic. Who would profit by this condition of affairs? he asked. Nobody except the holders of geld and the owners of silver mines, the holders of silver bullion, and the brokers and speculators in the stocks of silver mining companies. Mr. Carlisle's next point was that, under free coinage at 16 to 1. wages would be paid in the debased dollars and that no man would live long enough to see wages increased in proportion to the advance in the prices of commodities. Finally. Mr. Carlisle frankly said that when he voted for silver in 1878 the conditions were different from now, and that at that time he made a mistake.

CONSERVATIVES WIN.

Presbyterian Charrh General Aasembly to Control Seminariea. Pittsburg. Pa., May 21.—8 y a vote of 432 to 98 the report of the committee on seminary control was accepted by the Presbyterian general assembly yesterday. Some slight changes were n.ade but the accepted report is virtually as the anti-Briggs people drafted it_ The debate was cui short and the matter was rushed to a vote. It went through with a whoop, amid great excitement. Dr. William O. Thompson, president of the Miami University at Oxford. Ohio, was the first speaker yesterday. He was against the adoption of the report. Among those who took part in the debate was Rev. Dr. Andrew C. Zenos, a native Greek, of the McCormick Seminary, Chicago. He spoke and voted against accepting the leport of the committee. Their great success promises to embolden the conservatives for drastic measures against the students of Union Seminary. The vote yesterday was a declaration of war to the knife and the only end will be surrender or secession. A fraternal letter was sent to the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church at Dallas, Texas.

TO MAKE REBATES.

CommiMioner of Internal Revenue Miller Explains. Washington, May 21.—" Up to date we have collected between $70,000 and SBO,000 on account of the income tax,” remarked Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller, “every cent of which must be returned to the persons who paid these assessments. No legislation by congress will be necessary, for under the law the commissioner of Internal revenue, subject to regulations prescribed by the secretary of the treasury, is authorized on appeal made to him to pay back all taxes erroneously or Illegally assessed, or collected, all penalties collected without authority, and all taxes that appear to be unjustly assessed or excessive in amount, or in any manner wrongfully collected. There is a regular form provided for these refunds; all that is required of a claimant being a plain statement of facts as to tax payments made. I have telegraphed all collectors of internal revenue to forward at once to this office all income tax returns and everything else pertaining to the tax.”
