Through the kindness of the Hon. Ed
| wardJ. Gay we are in receipt of pamphlet
| containing The speech Of Hon. r. Q. Mills
of Texas, delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, February 8, ultimo, on the free
coinage of silver. He reviews the charges
| recently made by bankers, cotton exchang-
es and boards of trade throughout the Uni
as we have been doing, gold will leave the
country and we will be flooded with the
! cheap silver of foreign countries; that the
| dollar now coined is & dishonest one, and
| that every creditor is defrauded who is COM
PEELED to accept it. In answer to the first
charge, he states that when, in 1878, the law
was passed authorizing the limited coinage
Of the standard silver dollar, there. were
| $218, GOO, COO of gold coin in the country and
| that now we have $500, 0OO, COO, having i'm
ported during the last eight years largely
more than we have exported. Upon the
second, he demonstrates that silver is
higher in Europe than here and can only
come here at a loss. The Secretary of the
Treasury is required by law to fix the value
of all foreign coin, which he does in ac-
cordance with the value of the metal it con-
tains, not by what it is worth in the country
where made. Thus he shows that the form
| of Austria is worth at home 48 cents in
| i'll gold, and it is only worth here 81 cents,
and that were she to withdraw her silver
and send it here for sale she would lose
| SIS, 100000. In answer to the third charge
he goes into very long but quite interest
ing discussion.
