Gov. Hendricks ON the Silver.
Question.
HE Is FOR THE DOLLAR OF THE FATHERS
Cincinnati Commercial.

Correspondent: Are You in favor of the
reconciliation of silver?
Gov. Hendricks: Certainly. From reli-
able evidence on the subjecC the legislation
demonetizing silver was most Objectionable
in its character. The people were no: con-
suited at all. They had no iGtimation that
such thing was being contemplated, 1t
seems that mostof the members o Congress
had no knowledge OF what was being done.
Because of this, if for no other reason, silver
money should be placed just where it was.
Experience will then demonstrate to what
extent the depreciation of silver below gold
has been owing to the fact that it was strip
ped of its quality of money-a quality OF
every i'm portance to its value.
If experience shall establish the fact that
there is a permanent and increasing differ
ence between gold and silver, because of the
increased production of the latter, then Con-
gress will be charged with the i'm portant
duty of regulating the coinage and value of
each, so as to avoid the evils of double
standard.
Silver has become an important product
of this country. and inaSmuch as the world
recognizes it as a money metlium of ex
change, cannot see why we should nos
utilize our large product of that metal 10
the greatest extent that may be found prac-
ticable. Its vlaue as money to this country
is too great to be thrown away.
Correspondent: Do you think the reSto-
ration of silver would be breach of the
public faith?
Gov Hendricks: BY no means. The law
of 1869, the first act signed by Gen, Grant,
pledged the faith and honor of the Nation to
the payment of the public debt in coin. The
silver dollar was then part of the coin of
the country, honored in law and COM
merce as gold. Neither pIblic faith nor
private obligation can be impaired by a
compliance with the contract in its letter and
in Its spirit. To me it is plain that the pub
lie faith is made more secure by such poll
cics as enable the DeOple the more easily to
meet the country's obligations Surely, to
restore silver money will facilitate the dis
charge of every public obligation, and pro-
mote return to specie payment. A pros |
guaranty of the observance of public faith. |
| think Congressional action upon these |
questions should be taken as promptly as |
possible. The continued agitation causes |
distrust and uneasiness throughout the en-
tire business of the country.
