SILVER AGAIN.

The Chronicle has some curious ideas
about silver. 1t contradiets itself with a
freedom Of assertion which indicates lack
of appreciation of facts. Ii fatty contra
dicted THE CALLS statement that the act
OF 1873 dropping the silver dollar from the
list Of American coins certainly demone-
tiZed silver. and offers in support of its con-
tradietion that "the silver dollar might have
been dropped from the list of coins and
RECOMMENDATION of silver would not have
taken place if the Government had left its
mints open to the free coinage OF some other
silver coins with the full legal tender" The
''If' in this sentence is somewhat impor-
tant. The fact that the Government did
not leave its minis open to the coinage of
silver dollars and did not authorize the coin
age of another silver coin constitutes the
demonstration OF silver complained of.
Silver was certainly full legal tender money
up to 1873 If the act Of 1873 dropping the
silver dollar from the list of American
coins did not demonetize silver the Chronicle
viii perhaps let us know how silver became
demonetized. Possibly it viii contend that
it never has been demonetizsd. On this
point however, there is no other difference
OF opinion than the disagreement Of the
Chronicle frodp other advocates Of free silver
coinage. Senator Jones, Senator Stewart.
Senator Mitchell and the late Senator Beck
made the fact of demonstration the basis of
their demand for the demonstration of
silver, Again, the Chronicle contends that
the act of February %. 1873. did not remon-
etize silver. The title of this act was "An
act 10 authorize the coinage of the standard
silver dollar aDd restore its legal-tender
character"
The bill bearing this title became a law
February 20. 1878. 1t authorizes tie COIN
age of the silver dollar which had been
dropped from the list Of American coins in
1873 and restored its legal-tender character.
There has never been any question Of the
right OF the Government to pay all debts in
silver which had not by express terms.
been male payable in gold. All the recog-
nized advocates of free silver coinage have
made the-failure of the Government to make
payments in silver the basis OF their CON-
plalnts. Not one OF them has called in
question the authority 10 do so under the
law OF 1873. The Chronicle is the only sill
yer advocate we-knew OF which denies that
the act OF 1873 made ii lawful for the Gcv-
eminent to pay all bonds aud legal-tender
currency in silver. While it Is somewhat
diseouragng to discuss questions of finance
with journal that apparently does not
comprehend the plain meaning of a statute,
VIC cannot permit the erratic assertions of
our contemporary to pass undisputed.
