The Memphis Avalanche says; Like
the Avalanche, ;hc Chicago Tribune op
poses lrrcdccmablc currency initiation,
but also regards the Resumption Act
as a fraud. Upon that point the Trlb-
unc says:
"The act Of 1875 was the most in
nocuous piece Of legislation that Con
grcss ever pcrpctraNcd, 1T had no
poinL-no aim and it has been utterly
barren Of results. 1t was purely scnti-
mental. 1t has had no effects one way
or the other. 1t neither expanded nor
contracted. 1t said that at some day
in the future the Government would
resume specie payments, but made no
provision or preparation Tor any such
proceeding
What provision c0n Congress make
for resumption of specie payments
We answer, None whatever; for the
simple reason that Congress cannot
create gold and silver. And the only
way in which n resumption OF specie
payments can be accomplished IS hy
the production or importation Of a SUI
licicut quantity Of the precious metal,
to supply the wants o! every branch o
trade and industry. Congress can on
IS increase the quantity OF gold by an.
lhuriZing The issuance and sale of more
United States bonds; and would that
bring us any nearer resumption than
We are now? What would we redeem
the bonds with, or pay the interest on
such n large bonded debt with Gold,
say youi Then that would take away
our gold basis from under our paper
money, and leave us without enough
yOld to redeem it. Thus We would
have a perpetual circular motion
selling moe bonds to get gold To re
deem outstanding obligations; or, in
other words, the selling of new bonds
to pay Off the old, and to redeem treas.
ury notes, al igdnitum.
AS to the irrcdccmablc features o
greenbacks, we do not object to .ha
if they will redeem our outstanding
liabilities and purchase the ncccssarici
Of life. We cannot understand why
