FROM the western Rursl.
The oOulest- piece Of sRrontery, even
for a nlid-wiuter day, was launched
forth last week by Jhe New York
Chamber Of Com,neree. That noisy
and pretentiOus body passed "a resulu-
tioH which said:

ts1dsr Treasury notes % pay fIE G.51l.oJ1
OUNCES % silver VIII make 81 uinre dI41uls Tor
the governments 60 redeem it1 obligations So

THIS resolution is Aanked by another
OF similar import by Ale Boston
Chumbsr OF Commerce. .5.-
No men know better EhuH those mon
that h. always has been absolutely inn
possible tar the E0ygrumeut TO redeem
les obligations ia gold except iu i'm

for obligations 20 be so paid. 40 men
knew DcLLar than those men the cun-
slant dsoTsass az the margin Of gold

afraid Of EvtJiHg plty Geo a depreCisLed
currency. They are afraid they shall
Hut be allowed 70 get their pay In AN
/ appreciated currency, a currency e0h-
staHtiy growing mOrs valuable by the
growing scarcity OF guild. They are
afraid they shall be obliged 70 80 %
they agrssd 60 do, aud G6s be allowed
tO make net profits which they and
their money and property never earned.
Ehey are not afraid Of ID variable cur
! TsHcy, but they are afraid that they
shall not be allowed 70 enjoy tile
advantages OF currency tIIaJ vstiss
every muHth and every day, pouring
uHsurued wealth into thei own peck

While these men pretend 60 raar uu
instability OF our finance, they study
all their lives how to make an iHztH-
biliLy OF our finances. so that every
variation shalt turn wealth iutu thsir
| pockets which " as never contemplated
by thsir creditors. never promised 10y
their eEs,iiturs. but by which with the
craft 0g pirates iH cave, they plot Ia
dsspOii creditors by playlBg upon the
Ignorance and cretluIity Of Jhgse whom
they plumber. Had these men ever
designed 10 be honorable, silver never
