will be done for here, where ridi-

SILVER.

If it could even be admitted that
we should come to a gold basis by
the permanent characterization OF
silver, it would be easy to show that
no such time as the present should
be taken for it. The bonds of the
Federal government have been
placed on 4 coin basis, and the cur
rency has bceu contracted until
financial panic and ruin have near>
ly destroyed the business Of the
country. The characterization of
silver was effected by a secret stroke
Of the pen, without notice or
knowledge Of the fact, so that even
the President Of the Z. S. did not
know it a year aftcrward. The
fact that silver is an intermediate
currency between paper and gold
is sufficient proof that its circula-
ton should be retained. 1t will
be time enough to undertake the
monometal basis when the country
shall have recovered its lost power
An abandonment Of silver should
be a matter left to hat future PEI
riod in which bankruptcy and run
shall be the exception and net the
rule in trade as at present.
