THE BLAND SILVER BILL.

New YORK. Jan. 10, 1873
10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
Permit me 10 state OF the effects OF the Bland
Silver bill should It become law.
l. AS II is a breach OF the naonai faith IL would
initct an irreparabe injury on every man, woman
ana child IN tho United States.
IL would impair The validity u contracts between
our own citizens
g. As It declares an articlo which is at present
worth only ninety cents 70 be worth dollar, and
makes II legal tender tor dollar IL would defraud
creditor out OF one tenth OF what Is due TO him.
4. AS II establishes as a standard Of value thas
which has no fxed value, but whch huctuates from
day to day, like corn or cotton any other COM
modify our finances would soon bc In state OF con-
fusion.
8. Its enactment would have the effect OF lowering
the character OF the United States throughout the
cYilizsd world, and would SO shake confidence among
foreign creditors that thore would bo rush 10
dispose OF bonds at any price they would fetch.
9. The return OF bonds OF all kinds from Europe
would be so large scao that tho resulting demand
Tor exchange would almost Immediately put up the
to the specie shipping point. and Of
gold would thus rapidly find IFS way to Europe
7. The heavy shipments OF gold would advance the
premium, or IN other words, our greenbacks and
national bank notes would depreclate until they
would become less valuable thnn dcbased silver
coinnge. When this should occur say with gold
premium OF twelve and q half per cent. our silver
would be all shipped abroad, and thus the object
Of she trainers and promoters OF the Bland Silver bill
would be totally defeated by tho very means they
tnking 10 secure unlimited supply Of silvcr.
g. Tho damage thus done to our commerce by this
Ubiquitous bill would take as ten years to remedy, and
the injury to our national honor could mover be
done.
