metalA very materially,
One fact, not q mattel Of chance bnt
Of reasonable certainty, operates steadily
against the United States. This is the
advance Of the world in population,
wealth, and exchanges, and the Conse.
quent requirement OF more money, with
no certainty that the mines will produce.
more.
The risks were and are mutual. Is it
supposed that, upon the occurrence Of
any or all Of the circumstances which
would tend to raise the value Of both
metals, and thereby increase the burden
OF obligations payable in them, the
United States would ask or that the
bondholder would agree to correspond
ing scaling Of the contractg Has o bar
gain been made where the creditors,
under all vicissitudes, stand to win and
not to lose? Is the United States bound
to the obligations and penalties Of che
contract, and debarred from all the ad-
vantages conferred by it's terms? These
interrogstories admit of but one reply.
There is mo dispute about the facts oe
the case or the law. A contract has been
entered into between the government
and it's creditors, involving contingencies
which may favor either party, and both
parties must abide the issue, whatever
it may be- 1t would be beneath the
dignity Of the government to demand
any advantages which the law and the
contract made under it do not confer. II
would be violation of justice and be-
traysl Of the great interests confded to
its charge to accept anything less The
government is an agent and not q princi-
pal. It is the trustee Of the nation, and
must find the charter and guide for the
administration Of the affairs intrusted to
it in the law and not in sentimental
emotions.
The creditor would have no reason to
complain Of either the law or the fact
il he were not paid in silver. The con-
tingencies which have happened have
not been favorable to the United States,
but otherwise. Not only has the value
Of both the metals risen, but compari-
son Of gold prices in 1870 with silver
prices in 1877 will show that the pur-
chasing power of silver is greater now
than the purchasing power OF gold was
then. Payment to-day in silver would
not only give the creditor oil that he is
entitled to under the law and the CON-
tract, but would mete out to him more
than equity alone would demand.
1t iS sometimes said that the more re-
Gently issued bonds should be paid in
gold, because the United States receives
gold for them. The obligations Of bond
are not governed by the price, or the
species Of money, or the nature Of the
consideration received by those who
issue it. They are governed by the terms
Of the bond, and not by what it is sold
for. A bond sold at los can have no
other construction than similar bond
sold at so, and a bond sold for gold can
have no other construction than similar
bond sold for silver or grOenbscks, or
given in payment for supplies or SER
vices. The promise, and not the con-
sideration, governs II it were really

under that act, but it does directly affect
the interests Of the holders OF such obli-
cations The demonstration Of silver in
this country would, by giving it new
and large use, cause it to increase in
value, which is Of great importance to
the holders Of bonds which, according
to the conditions, are payable in either
gold or silver, at the option of the United
States. The holders Of such bonds are
the last persons who should oppose the
RECOMMENDATION of silver.
For even if silver is not remonetized,
it can hardly be supposed that the gov
ernment of this country will be so un-
true to the interests Of the nation con-
fded TO its charge as to give up, or fail
to exercise, the option it has Of paying
the bonds in silver, or that authority
will not be given and exercised to coin
silver for that, even il for no other pur-
pose.
II positions were reversed and il the
government was the holder Of these
bonds, it would be regarded as viola
tion of the letter and spirit Of the agree
ment, and q repudiation Of honorable
obligation, il it should neglect or refuse
to coin, at the will Of the debtor, either
Of the metals in which the bonds were
payable. A rule, to be equitable, must
work both ways.
The promise of the United States to
the purchasers Of bonds under the act Of
July IA, 1870, is not to pay money, but to
pay "coin" Of the standard value, " mean
ing of the weight and fineness OF the gold
and silver dollars then being coined at
the mint. Both paroles took the risk OF
the fluctuations Of the metals. The
United States received no guarantee
against their rise, and gave no guarantee
against their fall The assumption that
the agreement Of the United States was
to pay coin Of the then market or COM
merciRl value is to the last degree alb
surd The United States agreed to pay
specific thing, not specific value.
There is no tribunal to determine what
the changes are in the market or COM
mercial value of dollars. No prudent
government or individual would give an
obligation so shadowy and indefinite,
and no prudent capitalist would accept
such an obligation.
In issuing bonds under the act Of July
IA, 1870, the United States took the risk
Of rise in the value Of both the metals.
The parties accepting the bonds took the
opposite risk of a fall in the value Of
either Of them. The chances against the
United States were wars and political
disturbances in the mining countries,
such as caused decrease in the produc-
tion Of gold and silver between 1909 and
1S4S, or that the mines would be from
any other cause less productive, or that
countries not using gold or silver might
decree their use as money, and thus
make new demand for them, or that a
change Of fashion might increase the
consumption Of the metals in the arts.
Either of these circumstances, or all
combined, might raise the value Of the
metals very materially. On their part,
those who accepted the bonds took the
risks Of an increased production Of either
or both of the metals by the discovery Of
new gold and silver mines or by the more
vigorous working Of old mines, or that
commercial countries might demonetize

old fashioned, gilt framed glass, moi
more than fourteen inches by two

But the contrast between that
small mirror and the large mantel

BROTHER, UNCLE Or LOVER
A Lebanon Young Woman In
Search of One or the Other.

Miss Eva Springer, of Lebanon,
arrived in the city today in search
of a man. She is pleasant ap.
pearing young woman of Is to %
years, and a reporter found her in
tears at the Western Union Tele-
graph office. Her eyes had been
cried red and swollen and she looked
as tho she had lost sleep.
HER STORY.
Her tale was this: She had let
ter from her brother, who was EN-.
ployed on street work in Salem.
When asked to show the letter she
corrected herself and said it was
from her uncle, Chas. G. Eddy.
The letter was not signed, but bore
the inscription on the envelope to be
returned to that address at Albany.
A perusal of the letter would lead
anyone to conclude that he was
more than uncle or brother. The
missive contains terms of affection
and endearmeDt that no neice ever
received in black and white. The
contractors pay rolls were searched
in vain for "Uncle" Eddy's name.
Miss Springer was escorted to a
lodging house by a kind-hearted
lady employe of the Telegraph ca.
The JOURNAL promised to adver-
tise for Mr.. Eddy and help bring
him to the side of his neice, who
had been persuaded to leave her
home at Lebanon and come to Sa-
lem, where he had held out the in
ducement of employment. Miss
Springer is stopping at boarding
house, awaiting the appearance Of
the man whose letter enticed her
from her parents.
