ASrROyas POfNTFOR SILVER

In his address, yesterday, before
the Silver Convention. the Hon
William Woodburn made point
in favor If silver which puts a new
legal aspect upon the case. His
speech, extracts Of which are
printed in another column, ad-
vances the idea that Il e bonds of
the Z. s. Government. when FIRST
issued. contained the clause, that
the principle and interest could be
paid either in gold or siv at
the option of tn" Government
Mr.. Woodburn claims. that as a
legal proposition. the bill which
surreptionsly demonetized silver
cannot vitiate the co tract pre-
viouslv entered into by the Gov
eminent. and it still has the right
to pay the honGholdcrs in silver
and by 50 doing Immediately a
large amount Of silver can be
coined to pay the hondholders
The bill demonetizing silver. and
introduced by Hooper. after con
sulting syndicate Of London
bondholders. is powerless to cancel
the prior contract until that con-
tract shall have expired. which it
cannot, until the indebtedness has
been paid.
Thus under the law, plain and
simple. the very men who secured
the passage Of the bin can be
forced to take silver instead of
gold in payment of the interest
and princi pie Of their bonds
Tne Government has the ri cht
under the law to paw the bonds in
silver al - question now ar
Uses as to how it can be impelled to
do 50.
