a correspondent iii burlington, H., writes
to lis upon tho silver question, saying:
In yonr advocacy Of the silver question you hayo

fects {should FREQ coinage bu pcrm!tscd) on gold.
We told tint largc quantities. Of silver bullion

sllver mines continue 10 produce largely, In NIL
probability they WILL and Germany persists In her
scheme OF decentralization Of silver, viii not the
displacement Of goM necessarily follow! VIII you
please give few Of yonr readers here yonr views!
The etFcut Of ramonetizing silver in tho
United Htatcs would be to bring the relative
values OF gold and silver to some fixed aud
permanent standard. For nearly 800 years
the average value Of silver and gold haa
rarely, aud then only for brief intervals mud
at particular points, varied from Ii! Of silver
to l Of gold. Owing to peouliar circun,..
stances, this standard has varied for short
terms, but Las always returned. Tho fall Of
silver in 1874 and 1876 was largely due to
panic, which, combined with n general de-
preston of business, 1las not yot 1ost all it's
effects. On the 10Th Of December tho prico
Of fiuo silver in London was 6c4 pence per
ounce. Trade dollars (42o grains) were sold
the sanle day at per cent premium III Cali
fornia, and small silver at o. per cont dis:
proportionato value is therefore only
question Of time. The passage by Con-
gress of BLANn's bill providing for
tho recoinage Of tho old American
silver dollar (+1at grainH) and
legal-tender for NIL debts would have tho
effect Of llnatening the return of silver to it's

Should such an event DO possible, the rern-
cdy is direct one. So soon as the country

silver will find market where It is In greater

1t will take tho Alints Of tho United States
five years to mako silver coin sufficient to

country.
