THE SECOND MODE.
Of resuming-by accommodating coin
gradually, SO that when the time fix
ed for resumption arrives, the Trea-
sury may be able to redeem such
notes as are presented. In this res
pect the resumption act is as full and
liberal as human language can frame
| it The Secretary is authorized to
prepare for resumption, and for that
purpose to use to the surplus revenue
and sell either Of the three classes of
bonds, all of which are now at or
above par in coin. The power can
be, and will be executed if not re-
pealed.
This accumulation, both of silver
and gold, can be made by arresting
from expectation our own produc-
ton of these metals. This is not more
than sufficient to supply our wants for
this purpose, and, fortunately, we
have plenty Of other productions
corn. cotton, wheat, and fabrics, the
fruit OF our industry, for export.
This country Is the greatest producer
of gold and silver In the world. The
balance of foreign trade is in our IA
vor, During the last fiscal year our
exports exceeded our imports in gold
value the sum of $685. ,855 and this
balance Il steadily increasing.
This year Provisence has blessed
us with an enormous crop of almost
every production of the farm or PLAN
tation, and the foreign demand is
largely increased by the Russian war.
Russia is our great competitor In sup
plying Europe with bread, and she
now will consume her own products.
We have now reached the coin basis
in the production of commodities for
the foreign market.

es of these events and suggest peace
full methods for their removal. To
this end it recommended q National
Bureau of Industry, in order that la
Dor, whose interests are inseparably
linked to the common welfare, may
be brought into closer and more sym
pathetic relations to the government.
Hitherto the great interests of agri-
culture, manufacture and commerce
have had their channels of access to
the government and sympathy. 1t is
now proposed that labor shall have
the same consideration. The func-
tons of the Bureau will be matter Of
legislative detail, to be nodded and
enlarged as circumstances shall de-
mand, charged as it doubtless will be
with the duty Of collecting statistics
and experiences of the labor problem
in this and other countries, and dis

ment in regard to the operation of
our industries. 1t eau be made pow
erfully instrumental through these in
the repression of discomfort without
turbulence on the one hand or the
employment ON the other. / am I'M
willing to believe that American la
Dor is incapable Of being influenced
by considerations of reason and JUS
tice, that it can be controlled by the
law of force only. With capital or
investment of capital it has no con-
fllct, can have none. Satisfy by reli-
able information that its condition
results from causes and circumstance
es incapable of being controlled and
is the best that these circumstances
can reasonably afford, and it will ac-
quiesce in the situation.
If, on the other hand, its condition
result from causes which may be con-
trolled, and is not such as it reasona-
bly, might and ought to be made if it
arises, as it sometimes does, in the
operation Of our great railway sys-
tenn, from prOfligate acknowledgement,
from reduction Of income from reck-
less competition, from absorption of
the earnings by extravagant officials
from illiberal restrictions, or
from any other unjust cause, alike in

the labor it employs, let just-minded
and generous people become satisfied

therefore, it would seem wisest,
which will effect a return to specie
with the least possible
imitation on the one hand or contrac-

ly but surely improve the quality of
currency without serious disturb
ance of its existing volume or violent
change of commercial value.
This understand to be the policy
of the Republican party and the spir-
it of the platforms of the Cleveland

some extent at different times in all
countries, but their life has been brief.
and they have ever shared the fate OF
other popular decisions. Congress
will never entertain such PROPOSE:
ton, and, if it should, we know that
the scheme would not stand moment
before the Supreme Court. That
court only maintained the constitu.
tionality of the legal tender promise
to pay dollar by q divided court,
and on the ground that it was issued
during the war, as in the nature of q
forced loan, to be redeemed upon the
payment of real dollar that is so
many grains Of silver or gold.
/ therefore dismiss such wild theo-
ries, and speak only to those who are
willing to assume, as an axiom on
this subject, that gold and silver, or
coined money, have been proven by
all human experience to be the best
possible standards of value, and that
paper money is simply promise to
pay such coined money, and should
be made and kept equal to such coin.
ed money, by being convertible on
demand.
Now, the question as to the time and
mode by which this maybe bro tabout,
and on this subject no man should be
dogmatic, or stand without yielding,
upon a plan of his own, but should
be willing to give and take, securing
the best e4pedient that public opinion
will allow to be adopted. The pur,
pose and obligation to bring our pa.
per money to tho standard of coin
have been over and over again an.
nounced by acts of Congress and by
the platforms Of the great political
parties of the country.
If RESOLUTIONS AND PROMISES
would bring about specie payments,
we would have been there long ago
but the diversity of opinion as to tho
mode now-twelyo years after the
close of tho war-still leaves our pa.
per money at a discount Of 8 per cent.
Until this is removed there will be no
new enterprises involving great sums,
no active industries, but money will
lie idle and watch and wait the
changes that may be made before
we reach the specie standard.
In 1869 Congress pledged the pub
lie faith that the United States would
pay gold OF. silver dollars for United
States notes. Again, in January,
1875, after more than years debate,
Congress declared that by the LIST Of
January,l 1879, the United States
would pay its notes in coin.
