THE SILVER QUESTION.

md, though ho is inspired by se1tlslness. ho
nets intelligently, and fully understands
what he talks abont- Dnt tho case is differ
ont with the amateur advocate Of contraction
Of specie payments and gold currency.
Inspired only by tlosire to initiate others,
and lacking tho intelligence Of the man who
ia Interested, and speaking ignornntfy, ho
makes sad havoc Of law, fncts, and rhiloso-
ply. Ono Of these amateurs In financial dis.
cussions, aud one Of tho most ignorant OF
the ciass, is the Chicago Times. Its attempts
to rollash the arguments Of the gold-coin pa
rsrs arc amusing, and doubtless furnish
ground for laughter 10 those whose cause 1t
processes 10 champion.
TnE CHICAGO TRIBUNE has stntod that spc.
clio payments cannot be maintained in any
country unless thero DO specie in the coun-
try equal to the amount Of piper to be re-
deemed, If payment bo demanded. This Is
a so1f-evilant proposition, II this rnle were
not violated, there would be no general nus
pension Of specie paymonts- /. is only when
there is not coin enough in the country to
redeem tho paper that general suspension
Of specio payment ia possible. and yet the
Chicago Times declares That 1t is not trao;
a,ld TINT specie payments can bo maintained
with an amonnt OF coin less than the amount
of pnper to be redeemed. Because; through
tile agency Of bank-checks md bills Of ex-
clinnge, payments can be n,ado to ten times
or hundred times the amount Of money
handled, tho Times hos IN idea that ono
dollar OF specie can be mailo to do tho work
Of ten in the way OF redeeming paper cur
rmcy, and that idea Ia repeatedly presented
to show how littlo coin Is needed to redeem
and keep redeeming a1l tho paper non'y in
tho country. ..
We havo repeatedly pointed out TINT, II
the law 10 insisted on that tho Treasury
shall redeem greenbacks In coin OIL the 1st
Of January, 1870, aud silver being dcmone-
ti1ed, this redemption must bo in gold
coin. Wo 1ayc shown that the grcenbacks
b.,ing redeomable in gold coin, the National
B ttks mus. bo prepared to redeem thoir
M,tcs in coin aleo, and that to attempt to pro-
ciaso the gold coin for my guch purpose would
so,drnln tho gold markets Of Europe rs to pro-
tl,1co 1naurial conyu!slon. Under such
circumstances the price OF gold, NJ co1n-
pnrel with tho price OF other commodities,
wc.,,ld be greatly advanced. Tho National
Dunks would not venture to contend with
such condition Of aGairs, and Of necessity
" ould anticipate alt embarrassment by with
drawing their notes. Tho greenbacks being
exchanged for gold, and t1lo bank.notea rctir-

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Ii ne are to have an extra session OF
Congress the President. Il seems 10 US
should give notice Of the fact. and thus
relieve q somewhat uneasy feeling in busi-
ness circles, occssioned by fear that Con
gress msy adopt such legislation As will
have tendency to change values. While
the main reason for calling the extra ses
sion is to obtain money for the support Of
the army, there is . disposition being
manifested to enter upon general leEisla
ton, and We have been Informed that
some members have expressed . desire to
take some action affecting the tariff. We
hope that this rumor Is unfouoded, for the
sake Of the business OF the country. for II
that subject ia su;ered upon now business
values are bouad to - unsettled, TO q
greater or less degree. The tEa,h Is. that
We have entirely too much legislation II
would be better for this country If Con-
gress met less frequently. AT all events.
all legislation except that which Is ahso.
luteiy naee.ssry should be Jeff for the reg.
