SILVER WORDS FROM BO>TON.

The Lowell Courier, few days ago re-
marked
The Boston TfdrelIer is beginning to have a
very perceptible silver lining.
The 7'raroler copied the above remark,
and replied with the following article,
which, considering the fact that it emanates
from the home and center OF the gold pow
er, is one of the most encouraging signs Of
the times that We have seen. 1t is SO rare
thing to find civil and sensible article
on this subject, and in gold paper, that
We copy the IrauelleT's remarks here in full ::
That is because the Courier man has just
discovered what the Trdreller reported, edi-
torially and through its Washington dis
patches, as early as last October, namely, that
silver was destined TO be remonetized. There
were several reasons for this, which We are
sorry to say, few Eastern newspapers We're
willing TO admit, If they knew them. The
President is in favor of RECOMMENDATION, Con-
gress is determined to enact ii, and the West
and South demand il, almost unanimously.
As to the policy or principle decentralization
the Traveller has taken no issue. There is
much to be said on both sides. 1t cannot be
denied that before the decentralization of sill
Yer, the law looked upon the silver dollar as
a legal tender, else why was it named when
ever the other was named. and why was not
gold" used in the funding acts instead of
'coin?" On the other hand, ii is said that the
understanding was that the public creditor
should be paid in gold or its equivalent, and
1t is unsafe 10 disappoint this understanding
in the interest of our future credit. The ques-
ton seems to us to be, is it proper to call upon
the taxpayer TO pay more than the stat
ute actually requires him to pay for the pur-
pose of preserving the national honor even to
expected and not what In express terms he
is entitled to- OF course this has no reference
TO the governments obligations since the de-
of silver; IL has no reference to
any obligation, for principal or interest, where
gold is "denominated IN the bond :" but it is
a nice question to decide, where gold or
silver" were associated in the promise
before demonstration, whether the public
creditor or the taxpayer was most TO be con-
In view of this fact, while we have
deemed il inexpedient to advocate remone-
tization, we have not felt called upon to de-
nounce the President of the United States,
two-th.rds of the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress, and q very large majority
of the people of this country as "silver luna
tics. }" "swindlers" and "dishonest repudia-
tors, " because they demand the restoration
Of the silver dollar to its old standard.

The silver advocates in Congress have

Col. Phillips is one OF its officers. Ben But
Ter is member, and has suggested the idea,
that if the President vetoes the silver bill,
and there is not strength enough to pass il;
over his veto, section containing the same
provisions should be attached TO the appro-
priation bills, and none of them permitted
to pass without the silver section. This
would be just the thing. The section de-
monetizing silver was attached to bill Of
