SPECIE RESUMPTION,

The passage of the subsidiary coin bill
by the House of Representatives and the
probability OF its passage by the Senate,
seems to have given rise to the impress
sion that this bill is regarded as step
oward specie resumption. This ina
preston is wrong, yet we have no doubt
that the passage OF the bill will be pro =
ductive of much good. We say that it
is not step toward specie resumption
because silver has deprecated, not being
worth any more than paper money, and
has huctuating value. Silver is
not money, it is merely merchan-
disc, like zinc, copper or lead, more valu-
able, of course. but not money. 1t would
be folly to speak of redeemiag depre-
ciatod paper currency in.equally dcpre-
cia.ed metal, as specie resumption. Gold
alone is the standard and specie resump.
tion will not commence until our paper
currency is redeemable in gold. Yet
there are some reasons why We think
that the passage of this bill will be pro-
ductive Of much good. In the first place
the amount of silver now on
hand is about suflicieu to re-
deem the fractional notes. The
value of silver and our paper cur
rency is 50 nearly equal that the seignor-
age of the coin and the saving of the ex-
pense OF printing the fractional currency
will make the silver resumption of our
deprecated currency profit to the gov
eminent.
There is another consideration OF great
weight, which while it may not be in ex-
act keeping with politico economical
ideas, will have its effect, and that is the
people by constantly handling and using
the silver coin will be educated TO look
More favorably upon the necessity for
specie resumption. 1t will have ten
dency to restore hope and confidence to
the great mass of the people which are
the mainstsys OF enterprise and prosper
ity.
The old traditional values of silver
money will remain, and the people will
not think the silver is cheap, but that the
paper is better. The moral and educat-
ing effects in favor of gold resumption
will make the experiment of silver re
sumption worthy OF trial.
