ment of gold obligations of the Uni

if not already encroached upon, is
perilously near such encroa 3hment.
These ares.faets, which, as they do not
admit Of diisere dee. Of opinion call for
no argument. They have been fore
warned to us in the official reports of
every secretary Of the treasury from
1878 till now. 'fhey are plainly af-
frmed in the last December report Of
the present secretary Of the treasury
to the speaker of the present house of
representatives. They appear in the
official documents of this Congress
and in the records of the New York
clearing house (of which the treas
ury is member), and through which
the bulk of the receipts and payment
of the federal government and Of the
country pass. These being the facts
of our present condition, our danger
and our duty to avert that danger
would seem PLAIN. | hope that you
concur with me and with the great
majority,,of our fellow citizens in deem
ing it most desirable at the present
juncture to maintain and continue in
use the mass of our gold coin, as well
as the mass Of silver already coined.
This is possible by present suspen-
sion of the purchase and coinage of
silver am not aware that by
any other method it is posi-
BILE. 1t is Of momentous importance
to prevent the two metals from part
ing company, to prevent the increas-
ing displacement of gold by the in
creasing coinage of silver; to pre-
vent the disuse of gold in the custom
houses Of the United States in the dai-
ly business Of the people; to prevent
the ultimate expulsion Of gold by sill
yer. Such a financial crisis as these
events would certainly precipitate,
were now to follow upon so long pc
riod Of commercial depression, would
involve every city and state in the
Union in a prolonged and disastrous
trouble, The revival of business en-
enterprise and prosperity, 50 ardently
desired and apparently SO near, would
be hopelessly postponed. Gold would
be withdrawn to its boarding places
and an unprecedented contraction in
the actual volume Of our currency
would speedily take place. Saddest
Of all in every workshop, mill, fac
tory, store, and on every railroad and
farm, the wages Of labor, already de-
pressed, would suffer still further de-
preston by a scaling down of the pur-
chasing power of every SO called dol
lar paid into the hand of toll. From
these impending calamities it is sure
ly a most patriotic and grateful duty
Of the representatives Of the people to
deliver them.

spect, your fellow-citizen,
