paying them out the same as other coin
or lawful money" is 30 great that the
Eastern bankers are wondering what can
be the cause of the secretary's change of
conduct, and what is the explanation of
his new affection for the ''88-ccnt dollars.
The New York Times comes forward to
the secretary's defence by stating that he
is bound to adopt the new policy; there is
no alternative. He finds himself con-
fronted with law whose provisions he
must obey, and whose tendencies he has
neither the power nor the right to re-
strain" This is a roundabout way of say
ing that the secretary has de6ed the silver
law, in the Interest," of the Eastern banks,
till he cannot defy it longer, and he must
now obey it. He would continue to disre-
gard if he could, but as this is impossible,
he graciously consents to conform to 1t. The
law requires him to coin not less than 81
100000 in silver dollars month. He has
done this and kept the new coins IN the
treasury vaults till the hoard has become
troublesome: he does not know what to do
With it. AS the New York paper nalvely
expresses it, both the law and the logic
of the situation are too strong to admit OF
prolonged evasion or hostility on the part
of the chief of the treasury"
The monometalists are told that they
must not rely on an insubordinate secre-
tary any longer. He has done all he can
fo- them, and they must now organize tor
a repeal of the silver law. As long as that
law stands, and the coinage of 100000
silver dollars per month goes on, the dis
bursement of silver equally with gold is
only a question of time. mo class OF
creditors" says the New York Times,
''can expect to be exempted from the obi
cation to receive an S8-cent dollar as the
equivalent of gold dollar. The contin-
gency that will expose the bondholder to
the partial reputation may not arise this
year, or next, but come it must if this law
is not repealed. These orders are the
beginning of the end"
| But when the attempt is made to repeal
the silver law, stop the coinage of silver
dollars, and limit US to gold as the only
legal tender coin of the country, the people
will be there to take part in the game. The
silver law is their work; they demanded
it: it was in obedience to their plainly
expressed wish that congress passed 1t;
aud when Mr.. Hayes foolishly vetoed it, il
was at their demand that congress passed
it over his veto by an overwhelming ma
iority. They are determined to establish
the principle involved in it, as the govern
ing fact of our financial system, viz, tha
gold and silver shall be freely coined as
the money of the country. and both b
made full legal tender for all debts, public
and private. If the law now already il
existence is not sufficient to bring thi
about, they will demandathe enactment o
more vigorous measures. Instead of per
hitting the Bland bill to be repealed, the
will have it reinforced with the Warne
bill. They have embarked in the work
and will not stay their efforts till it sha
have been effected.
