shall have been fully paid2 Why and
wherein is the coinage act of 1873 more
sacred and irrepealable than the coinage
oct of 1884 which it modifed2 Does the
power to coin money and regulate the
value thereof belong to the class of powers
that once exercised become exhaustive?
If that were so the power had been ex :
hausted before the passage of the act of
1878; or is it the right Of the public or
private creditor, either. to say to congress
you shall not exercise the constitutional
power of coming money and regulating the
value thereof, because by changing the
standard you may change the value of In
vestments2 We have not recognized such
a rule. There would be force in such a
claim, under the act of 1870, which pro
vides for payment of the bonds 'in coin of
the present standard value" The act of
1878 contains no pledge nor contract 1t
is legislation under continuing power of
congress, and subject to repeal or amend
ment like any other law passed under the
same power. 1t is not, therefore, in my
Judgment, question of public faith, but
one of expediency only, Being such ii
seems to me the part of wisdom to have
some regard to the condition of financial
distress that exists in the country, and to
the disturbed state of the public mind that
pervades a large portion Of the country
Any change in the coinage is always a
delicate and important work, and should
be made only after the most careful con-
sideration Of all the interests of the people
SILVER SHOULD BE RESTORED.
Should silver money be restored?
have thought so. The pledge of 1869 O
payment in coin and the assurance in thu
act of 1870 OF payment in coin at the ther
standard value would seem to authorize
almost to require it. Compliance with
the contract cannot be breach of publ
faith. Our country is large producer o
silver. The quality of money is importan
to its value. think that when restored
silver will approach and perhaps reacl
gold in value, but should experience prov
that it must remain below gold because o
its greater production congress has ampl
powers to provide against any evils hkel
to follow. Very respectfully,

Upon that construction made my argu-

In silver as against gold, but whether il
might be In paper as against coin. 1t was

to make law saying to the tens of thousands OF
American pioneers that were shaking with ague and

therefore. stop buying quinine from them aud buy ii
from these ut Philadelphia who will charge you
