THE'TRUE VALUE OF SILVER. ,,^^-^e^^.iss Our readers may peruse another interesting letter, written by our correspondent \R;\ on \The Dan- gers o f Silver.\ It i s couched in &ueh tefms of courtesy and candor, as shonld give its statements, i n the minds of all readers, the weight to • which they are entitled; and, be - cause of the great importance of the subject discussed, i t will be carefully -read. ^JTor reasons that we have given, and other reasons, the CouRs IER does not feat,- a s the corres- pondent does, the dangers of silver; though the embarrassments that n a y proceed from separa'.ion o f gold and silver, if that separation takes place, (which we hope may not occur) will be grave enough t o call for the utmost endeavors in al l bee rJ4tir«^w practicable ways, to preserve the present coin values of the two metals. We cannot at-all agree with our correspondent, in charging the change, in the relative bullion values of gold and silver, t o a fall in silver, as measured by commodities, except- ing gold* That is, if i t shall appear that the present intrinsic value o f silver (at 8 5 cents t o the dollar) i s m even, or in nearly even line with gold and silver exchange values for many years, i t follows that i t i s gold that ha s risen, not only relatively with silver, but with commodities. The facts show that it ha s risen, and is rising now, not only he/e, but all over th e world ; th e depression everywhere felt, i s owing t o th e .shrinkage, which comes of it; for business is always slow, and difficult, atid unremunerative, when conduct- ed on.a falling market ; and we very , much fear, that, though there may be more activity, than now exists, yet thac none may expect, s o long a s L r old continues t o increase in value, there will be a return of general prosperity. As to the doubt whether the purchasing power of silver a t it s bullion value is a s great now as the average purchasing power of gold 'or silver has been for fifty years, f which we have asserted, and ou r correspondent ha s questioned) we are fortunately able t o prove the truth of what we say. The following figures, showiBg prices i n the' New Yoik market, in the month of January; 1830, and i860, and the highest and lowest range i n thirty years, i n that month, as to 10 leading commodi- ties, we have taken pains t o collatej as follows: WHB^T—1830, $1.04 per bu. ; 1860, $1.45 ; lowest, 1843, 88jc ; .highest, 1855, 12.51. Average, 1830 t o 1860, $1.47. Present price in gold, 86 cents. Value in silver, 99c. Greater purchasing pow- er of silver, 48c. to the bushel. WESTERN Fnoua—1830, $4.98 J per bb'L; I860, $4.30 ; lowest, 1859, $1.11 ; highest,\ 1837, §9.14. Average $5.63. Present value i n gold, shipping extra, $3.70. Value in silver bullion $4.15£. Greater present purchasing power of silver $1.47^ per barrel. ^^m^^ Rawest, 1845* 51Jo; highest, 1837, $1.06 ; \average 76c. Present price in gold, 34a Value in silver bullion, 40ots. Greater, present purchasing power of silver, 36o. per bushel.. MESS .BEE?—1830, $8.99 per bbl. ; 1860, $9.00; lowest, 1844, $5.62 ; highest 1839, $14.81 ; average, $9.60. Present price in gold, $11.00. Value in silver bul- lion, $12.65. Less purchasing power of silver, $3.65 per barrel. BUITBB—1830, 13ic per l b ; 1860, 16c; lowest, 1843, 8jc; highest, 1856, 22|o; average 15 eeats. Present price in gold aver g e of rolls to prime creamery, '21c. Silver bullion value, 24o. Less purchase ing power of silver, 9c. a poand. [These figures represent the wholesale average market, and no t for the fancy brands of butter in ordinary use. j COTTON, UPLAJJ&S — 1830, 9}o per lb. ; 18'iO, lie; lowest, 1845, 5a.; highest, 1835, 16b. Average, 10$c. Present price, gold, strict ordinary uplands, 95 o. Silver bullion price, about 11 ho. Less purchasing power of silver, lc. wit, that the fluctuations have been as between gold and silver j rather than between silver and other epm- modities; and that it is gold mat is rising. This i s the irresistible logic o f fact. The Cor/EIBE pub- lished two o r three years ago, a table quoting the London market reports, showing that trie gold measure,while constantly contracting, had been less regular than silver. 6 Eeverse fire process; measure gold by silver, a ad what appear t o be the changes ji n silver will pass over to the other side, where they more legitimately he*, long; and this further fact will ap- pear, that gold has been constantly growing scarcer and dearer, wiph the exception o f a short time when, after the California discoveries, jic became three or four percent cheap- er than silver ; and on that ground the demonetization o f 1873 occurred. If the matter had been left alone]; and the silver dollar had remained the unit of value a s theretofore, the gradual shrinkage o f prices o f thjs past ten years, and the paralysis of business occurring in consequence^ would been unknown. W e leave it to every candid man to say, whether or not facts and figures within the knowledge o f all—some o f which! we have tabulated—do not bear out; this view. But we do not now propose the re- establishment o f the silver standard. The fact that values are adjusted t o gold is a great and all-bufc controlling argument in its favor. But i n view of the falling off i n the gold produc- tion of th e world, (last fiscal year amounting t o $4 000,000,) and the probable diminution of tha'supply. to a point insufficient fo r the needs of commerce, and coinage—already shown by th e steady tendency o f President Cleveland published a lew days ago,.jn jrepJLy, to <2pngres#- mm Warner and' others, his view A ontl e silver question.

The Houiie voted its refusal. The siilver advocates replied severely to the president; and it is evident that the controversy, which is.to array him agaihst his party, i s already begun. He did not obtain, either the demo- cratic o r the Republican support, in his first appeal to Congress. the present President .wil| afefifiehdielr Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,\ i s an aphorism that must occur to the mind of President-elect Cleveland frequently o f late; ami i t is ja fact much to be regretted that cajuse fo r this feeling, among men i n high positions, should seem t o b e greater now than in the early history of our country, or in any period, ex- cept alone, perhaps, during the Ee ~ belliou. To be sure, this feeling o f insecurity of personal safety is ocoas- s Joned almost alone by a conscious- ness that there exists a class o f men popularly known a s \cranks o f wjhich G-uiteau, the murder o f GFar» field, is the chief instance; but the alarming increase of these dangerous individuals i s a matter s o serious that special legislation may become\ necessary to suppress them. It is stjated that Mr. Cleveland has ires ceived scores o f threatening letters from people of this class, and he i s attended b y a body«guard, after tyhe manner o f the Czar o f Russia. Nothing has been s o powerful in ,, . /in creating these cranks a s the ex- prices downward.as measured by it— f , , ,, r ri ., , ... f ', J ample set by Guiteau; and nothing it would seem to bo an open -ques- ' tion, a very open question, whether the interests of the United States should be committed t o it—and in a way t o the money kings of Eng-< land and Germany, whose fnteres ts are fo r contraction of the standard of value. Concerning th e interests of the debtor class, the working class, etc t , referred to by ou r correspondent, it seems t o u s that they ar e al l fo r stability, and not even temporarily or transiently fo r either inflation or contraction; no r can we se e that shrinkage, such a s i s now taking place, is advantageous t o any excejpt the very small class who live upon the income of fixed investments. T|he makers of investments ar e generally business men, whose landed apd other property must diminish in ex- change value, by contraction ; nor can they put capital to profitable use, on a falling market. Their jn«. terest is in the prosperity of th<j>se who do business and who laboi: ; and the interest o f those in turn i s in lively and profitable movementjof trade. The attempt to array lalj>or in, favor of a scarce and deal dollar,is like the argument of the free tradjer, who wouldoffer,tolabor,cheap goods, while depriving the workingmarj; of the means of buying, by rendering his employment •HnromtHierwiiTo will be mbre effective i n curing th e the evil than the prompt arrest and incarceration o f every individual showing symptoms of the disease. To-day i s \inauguration day,'' and Mr. Cleveland is installed. We shall publish the details i n ou r later issues this week. While w e would accord due honor t o the president of the Republic, we are far from re^ garding the new \administration a s an advent of a \better era,\ and all that nonsense. The people ar e bound t o give a fair support; and t o try the administration on its merits. In some respects the new president has commended the new order to I universal good will. President-elect Cleveland and his party reached Washington a t a little after seven o'clock yesterday morn* iug, several hours before he was ex- pected. It wa s a wise plan, pen> haps, for Mr. Cleveland thus avoided at least two kinds o f nuisances— brass bands and cranks. A terrible explosion o f fire^damip occurred at Sunderland, Eng., yes« terday, in a mine in which one .hundred and fifty men were at work.

What might b e a conven ience in the markets of the world, i s not necessarily a matter of vital im portance t o the people of this coun- try. They enjoy the conditions of ^elf- sustaining existence and prosperity. If we were wholly cut off from <iom- plieation' with Europe, and its false systems and theories o f finance,, hv bor, etc., together with it s unhealthy competitions, who would suffer thereby ? Will somebody tell us wherein ou r relative weakness jcon« sists? The exclusive measure o f value i n vogue in a part o f Europe, the smaller part, may not prove best adapted t o the growth o f our peo- ple ; we feel very sure it will not ; the majority are disposed to , take; that view ; and we have a great| deal of faith i n the majority. We do not believe the American people will give up silver, a s money; if feoltV should*go hence,, it would not prip- pie ou r fifty millions who, however, will regret t o se e it go. .; It would not b e a t al l surprising to us to see, in the face o f such with- drawal, a mighty movement o f triade, a grand stride of progress, i n ' this country, while the poverty o f the laborers abroad shall b e increased- in such a measure, partly b y the stnn* gency o f the times,as t o send hinhef, in a constant flow, the working mil- lions that are the bone and sinew df ever^jrreat nation. Once here they become producers, and patrons of untouched resources o f the l^ew World; and will Bhare and share alike with the workers and winders of this country. Out o f this dliffi* cult and appare ntly dangerous quess tion o f the currency, may come to this country, great accessions from the best populations o f the globe. l ' We are not recommending nor de- siring, nor ar e we willing, to part company with Europe in the mat> tor of th e gold standard, now rec- ognized here, a s there; hut if Europe parts company wtih us, against our reasonable endeavors, we say freely that we do not anticipate, as some have done, any great - disaster, nor an embarrassing disturbance of relations. The adjustment will be natural; it will damage no considerable class of persons.

CONWAI contributes a long and interesting article to the Bos- ton Sunday Herald o n Buddhism i n Ceylon. BL& visited that island on Christ- mas day, 1883, and found the inhabitants amusements. In conversation with their priests about their religion, he learned that they.repudiated the exposition of i t by Mr. Sinnett, the theosopbist. He found them to h e anxious that correct views of their religion should b e dissem- inated i n the western world. They were rational men, favorable t o free thought and read to Mr. Conway a story of Bud- ha's plea for that powerful promoter of intellectual progress. \ Buddha came to Bihar,\ ran the narrative, which was en s tirely new t o Mr. Conway. \ There cer~ tain princes welcomed him, telling him whence they came. They said : ' Vari- ous priests and Brahmans pass through our towns and preach their own doctrines, speaking ill of the dootrines of others. Bach set is followed by another, who tell us what was preached before them i s not true, saying, \ listen to us I\ They who go into and they who come from the wilderness meet here. ''Thus our mind is unsettled : w e do no t know what to be- lieve.' Buddha said: ' That is but nat- ural. Now hear what I-have'to say: Ac- cept not doctrines that are mere hearsay— what somebody says another is preach- ing. No doctrine is to be accepted be- cause believed by one's ow n father or grandfather. Sometimes a clever ma n clothes a doctrine in fine language. -Not because a doctrine is thus decorated is i t to be believed.. Not because a doctrine is written i n a book is i t t o be believed. Sometimes a preacher will express a doctrine logically'; but not because it .is so expressed is a doctrine to be believed. Sometimes a doctrine is conveyed by the Nyaya system of logic, but not even for that is it to be accepted. Sometimes a doctrine may appear acceptable on its. face; not merely for that is tobereoeived. Sometimes a preacher caters t o the ex- isting belief of his hearers; not for that is his doctrine to be believed. Not be- cause a preacher conducts himself ac- cording to orthodox rules is his doctrine to be believed. Not because your mas- ter or teacher says it is true should you accept a doctrine. But this is the way doctrines should be accepted. In your; own mind you musi? judge. Whatthg' wise have rejected, an d you yourself know t o bef bad, that reject.
