thou FREQ in tho United Statcs, tho Grenter
part Of this silver would hayo found It's way
hero to bo coined into dollars. md The prot-
lem Of a return to srccio paymcna would
shnvo been hnstened in Its solution, and. tho
surplus silver Of Europe being thus exhaust.
cd. silver would hhve recovered It's rclativo
va1uo with gold. Bnt the decentralization of
silver by Congress in 1873 deprived tho
country Of all tho advantages resulting from
the decline of silver IN 1876, and at tho same
t;mo increased the loss Of tho silver minoa Of
this country on their production in the years
that hare followed.
Tho President will not ho driven into Veto
ing tho Silver bill by the suggestion that II
silver 10 romonetized thcrc will be rush Of
silver to this country to be coined. Let It
come, and tho more tl1o botter, II tho OUT
side world have lvo hundred millions Of dol
larH Of silver to spare, and send 1t to tho
United States to 10 coined into dollars, tho
money can only bo employed In tho purchase
Of American products, in tho purchase Of
lansls, In investments in mining, snan1fac-
TIRES, or In roatls and canals. or somo other
form Of productive industry. Who will bo
damaged or injured by ttat7 When tho
surplus Of silver shall DO exhausted by It's
American coinage, the foreign demand will at
once increase tho value Of the metal, and
when silver becomes worth moro In other
countries tlnn here, the export will begin,
md tho relative value Of gold md silver will
he rapidly restored. Tho President is not u
man to be scared by tho "danger'" Of flow
Of metal to this country to be cbined into
American dollass md to bc exchanged for
American products.
Nor is tho President a man who will veto
tho Silver bill on The ground that there is too
much metallic nonoy In the world, md that
1t is necessary 10 discard one metal and limit
1egnl money to gold. The President knows
at loast one part Of tho world TO which me-
tallic money has long been a stranger, and
whose greatest concern at this timo is how
to obtain enough Of It with which to redeem
ita long-oyorlne md deprecated paper. ITo
certainly knows TINT a very largo portion Of
oven tho adult population havo no recollec-
ton Of tho time whom coin was the currency
Of tho country, and paper .norely its repre-
sentative.
Nor will tho President be moved to veto
tho Silver Coinage bill because silver is of
greater weight in proportion to its valuo
than gold. Tho President knows that thero
la on deposit in the Treasury m avorags Of
s40,oDo, 900 Of gold coin for which certiA-
cates are issued, and which certificates pass
