CARLISLE EXPLAINS. v Bays Hie ISIS Speech Does Not Prove Mina to Have Favored Free Coinage. Louisville, Ky., May IS. —ThefourierJournal prints the following letter from Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle to Hon. John H. Johns, of Prestonsburg, Ky. Mr. Johhs had written the secretary, saying that'in discus- 2 sion of the currency question with.his free silver friends he finds that their strongest arguments seemed to be that Mr. Carlisle had made a speech ih favor of the free coinage of silver on one occasion. The secretary in his reply says: “The report that 1 made a speech In favor of free-eotnag’e of silver was made for the first time about three years ago. and has been kept constantly In circulation by the advocates of free coinage ever since, notwithstanding the well-known fact that the only speech I ever riade upon the subject, and which Is printed in the official records of the proceedings of the house of representatives. shows clearly that I was opposed to that policy. Perhaps it will not be Improper, in -answering your letter, to state I briefly what my iiosit'on upon the question of tree coinage then was. as shown bj- the speech of February 71. 1878, which is the one from which garbled extracts are being made by the advocates of that policy; and. in doing this, I distinctly disclaim any | purpose to vindicate myself against the I charge of inconsistency; because, tn my ; opinion, such a charge, whether true or false ts of no consequence w hatever In the discussion of this or any other question. 'The fact that a man Is wrong at one time in life constitutes, no reason why he ! shorild be wrong always, and even it it Were true that I had advocated the freej coinage of silver IS years ago I would have j been a political coward IP! had refused I ' on that account to fallow my honest cohvieticua and oppose such a policy when satisfied that It would be Injurious to the country. 1 am more anxious to be right than to be consistent, and If the gentlemen who quote garbled extracts from an old speech, mude. when the conditions were enI tiiely different from wbat they are 'now. can convince trie by fair argument t hat any , of my present opinions upon that cr any other subject are. erroneous. I will not hes- j | Irate, to abar.-ion them. I • “The speech made in the house of repre- I i aentativ.s .>n the list day of February". , 1871. is the only oqe to which the advocates ; of free- coinage ever, refer, and that was . i made In opposition to free’ coinage and in , favor of striking out a free coinage pro- , I vision from a bill, and inserting in place | ! of it a section requiring the secretary of , : the treasury to purchase not less than 42 - 1 i uic.iXA) worth tier more than J4.i»’4),<H.4) worth I of stiver bullion each month, and coin it ir.lo standard silver dollars on account of I the United States government and giving ; the x ' the gain or aetgniorage. Instead of giving ft to the owners of bullion, as Would be the ease under a system of tree coinage. At that time ; the silver dollar had-been dropped entirely ’ from the coinage, by the act of February 12. 1873, and such as has been coined preI vlous to that date were legal tender only ■ to the extent of five dollars; by the act of ■ 1874, the difference between the value of a silver dollar and the value of a geld dollar, at the ratio of sixteen to one. was only about seven or eight cents, and I. together with many other gentlemen who were opposed to free coinage, then believsd that this small difference between the value of ‘ the two dollars would be removed If the I ntted States should resume the coinage •nd use of silver as full legal tender. ■'On the sth day of November, 1877’ a motion was made in the house of representatives- to suspend the rules and it passed a bill which, amor-; other provisions contained the follow -mg clauses:. “ ‘And any owner of silver billion may deposit the same at . any United States coinage mint, < r assay to be coined i !nt< such : liars, tor his upon the same terms and eonditicpfs bullion j is deposited tor ■.-oJjMtke uraler existing laws.' < / I "Finally, .after a long discussion in the i i senate, tiie bUI was amended by striking | ' out the free coinage provision and insert- . ing in its place the following: " "And the secretary of the treasury Is t authorized and directed to purchase from | time tv time silver bullion, at the market • price tbirvof. r.ot less, than j;.*» WOrthJ per month, nor more than 34.OW.eu)Worth i per month, and cause the same to be coined I monthly as fast as so purchased; and a . sum sufficient to carry out the foregoing i provision of this act Is hereby appropriate<l I out of any ihoney'ln the treasury not other- i wise appropriate-:. And. any, gain or , seignorage arising from th'lsM/oisuig- shall i be accounted for and paid into the treasury as provided under existing laws relative I to-tine Subsidiary eoihitge." "The bill with this amendment was sent ; I back to the house for the concurrence oi that body, and on the 21st ddy pf : February. ; 1878, while it was under consideration? I ; i made the speech which has been so often I I referred to during the last three years by.i the advocates Os free con and a few sentences from which th, y have frequently published. In this speech 1 said among sther things, that the overloaded taxpayers of this country, already staggering and sinking under the burdens imposed upon tl t'm bv uhwise legislation, would have been subjected by that provision to a new exaction of several millions of dollars annually to pay for coining t lie bullion pf capitalists at heme and abroad. I cannot become the advocate of such a system, either as to gold or silver, and although my vote was given for the bill as It passed tho house under a suspension of the rules, with this feature in it. 1 d:d not approve of it. and then hoped that it would be amended in the senate t "My position upon this subject is briefly this ' I am opposed to the tree coinage of i either gold or silver, but in .favor. of unlimited* coinage of both metals upon terms of exact equality. No discrimination should be made in favor ot one metal and against the other; nor should any discrimination ; be made m favor of the holders of either < gold or silver bqjllon "and against the great : body of the people who own other Minus J lof property. A should I ! treat ail its citizens alike, and whenever It : attempts to do otherwise it will engender j a spirit of discontent which sooner or later i must disturb the harmony Ifjiot the peace i ! of society It is scarcely necessary to say : that a gross discrimination would be made ! between the two metals If the owners of »avcr bullion were permitted to have al o» 52 cents’ worth of Silber coined and stamped as a dollar. When the owners ot gold bullion wen? required to present Ift) cents’ worth of gold in order to have their metal coined and stamped as a dollar. The two metals are coined upon terms of exact equality only when a dollars' worth ot silver ls contained in the silver dollar and a dollars worth of gold Is contained in the gold dollar, and when no more is charged for the coinage of one than for the coinage I of the other. In the speech referred to I showed that the ratio established by the coinage act of 1792 overvalued silver and drove gold out of circulation." In conclusion Mr. Carlisle agyx: "Aftera careful review of the speech oi IS7S I think it would be a perfectly fair interpretation of it to say; ’ "First—That I was opposed to the free coinage of silver. . "Second—That I then believed the rsetoration of the standard silver dollar to the coinage of the United States, and a larger use -of that metal in this country, would not only arrest its depreciation, but would ultimately restore it to a parity with gold at the ratio of sixteen to one. ’Third—That when parity at this ratio had been restored I was In favor of coining both metals upon terms of exact equality. "Fourth—That I wa< opposed to the total disuse of silver as a legal tender money tn this country. "Fifth—That I was in favor of an international monetary conference toxonslder the adoption of a common ratio between gold and sliver for the purpose of establishing internationally the use of bimetallic money and securing fixity ot relative value between these metals. “Upon some of these propositions my opinions have undergone a complete change, and 1 have made no attempt to suppress or conceal the fact. My official course as secretary of the treasury and my speeches upon the subject of the currency are sufficient. I think, to show quite clearly what my present opinions are. and it is not necessary therefore to restate them In this letter, which is already much too long. Very truly yours. “J. O.

GOLD -IN DEER'S TEETH. Man Who Found It Now Trytng to Bia* cover a Mine. Gold has been found in a variety of queer places, among others in the dust shaken from chickens’ feathers, in the crops of wild turkeys, and between tho toes of a wolf hound. The latest odd place for as a filling for a deer’s teeth, anil it is told of in the Nidologist by John A. Bryant, of Kansas City, Mo. A Kansas City taxidermist was found in a great state of excitement by Mr. Bryant. He had recently got two deer ■’heads for mounting from Colorado. The jaws of both deer were being scraped, and then the taxidermist observed a peculiar substance crusted on the teeth. This sediment was brownish yellbw in color, and just for fool’s luck the man scraped it off and sent it to an assayer. The assayer got a lump of gold, pure, yellow gold, fronk-the stuff, and the taxidermist made haste to find out the precise locality where the deer were killed. Then he asked about the deer licks-where the animals got their suit. He doesn't know yet whether the gold came from a salt lick or from the dust blown onto |hc gross or browse on which the deer fed. . The taxidermist said that the deer were killed not more than 100 miles from the Cripple Crbek gold mines, and further, that he knows the spot exactly. He thinks that if deer can ' get gold filling for their teeth in the ;oi dinarv course of nature, a. man can get bushels of it. He has so much faith in this that he is going to sell cut his business, buy a burro, a grub stake, and a prosi»eetor"T piek, and then‘go to prospecting on the deers' trails.
