NEW YoRK, Dec. 14.-To The editor Of Ms
Ney 1ork Tribune! Since the publication Ut
my last letter In favor Of The reconciliation VI
silver, tho auestfon has assumed new and i'm.
portaut aApccts. Tho f'rcsdcnt md Secretary
OF the Treasury haze, In their Communications
to Congress, DECLARED themselves against the
full reconciliation Of silver. The objections Of
both are founded upon what, 10 their Judgment,
concerns the financial honor of the Government;
In other words, tho apprehension that q full ro-
uuncttzatIou of silver would arrcst tho REFUND
lug OF tbs public debt sccn,s to be- tho control
lug consideration with President Hayes md
Secretary Sherman. Tie President goes 10 fur
as To compute the amount which he thinks
would be lost 1t the negotiations Of tho syndi-
cato be suspended.
l am greatly disappointed that both tho p1esI-
dcut and the Secretary Of tho Treasury have
failed TO present the silver qucstion In its true
light through Congress to the people. Ws had
right to expect. from the Highest executive
and financial authority, an explanation Of the

debt In money otl,er than that which the Con-
stttutIon and the laws III Congress made alegal,

based upon the Constitution and the Jaws tnny,
II reasoned with, consent to be more than Just
| to the public creditor, but this concession wilt
nut DO forced from us by being denounced as
