silver and theyeto Power.

Tee opponents Of honest money" seem
TO have given up all hope of defeating the
silver bill in Congress, and are now turning
their attention to the President, who they
seem to think can be induced to interposo
the veto power, and in that way crush out
the hopes and wishes of the great mass Of
the American people. An effort will be
made TO indoctrinnte the Executive with
the hercsy that to coin S2,0O0,00O
Of silver per month into honest dollars, and
thus add so much to the circulating medium
of the country in q currency which is II
legal tender for all debts contracted in the
future, will impair the national credit.

OF this measure is of too fresh arrival and of
TOO questionable character to be ac-
Geptcd without large discount Of

contracts will be beyond the reach Of
this measure. II will add to the volume
of onr currency factor which secures per-
feet confidence in its value, with no posi-
bility of depreciation. Every new contract
will depend upon its own terms, and hence
the national credit can in no degree be inn
paired, unless the Gov ernment shall make
contracts and violate their terms.
The great trouble with the money Gen.
tres" over the silver bill is that il breaks
the power Of speculation in gold, and there
by cuts of the profits heretofore enjoyed
from that traffic When we have plenty of
silver which is legal tender at par, gold will
come down to It's real from its spccula-
tive value, and the occupation of the specu-
lator will be gone. When this is done gold
and greenbacLs will he all the same rs
circulating medium. The people do not
want the coin in ordinary business transac-
tiOus-they will ever prefer a paper cur
rency that is equal in value. Neither do
they want gold kept up by speculative
