(COmtinued from pa0e 81

to1. The adoption here Of the relation
Of 15.5 to by an act Of legislation,
would be- the most authentic and de-
cisive offer Of accord with the European
countries Of the double standard which
could possibly be made. 1t would be
not merely the offer Of an accord, but
the actual establishment Of one.
An international conference can only
be an advisory body. Under our consti-
tuition, this country cannot be repre-
sented in it by any functionary having
any greater power than that Of rec
ommendstion. The relation OF the metals
can be regulated only by congress. 1t
ia not Within the treaty powers OF the
president and senate, and it is only by
the enactment of law that an effective
proposition can be made to Europe Of
the double standard on a uniform rels-
tion Of the two precious metals.
AS already indicated, the undersigned
believe that the United States should
remonetize silver, whatever the future
policy of Europe may be. At the same
time they believe it to be wise to make
TO Europe the offer Of an accord upon
the relation Of the metals, and that
this offer can be best made by the enact
ment Of a law fixing l5.5 to l as the
relation here.
But diversities of opinion as to the
proper relation between the metals, and
as to the one most likely to secure per-
manency and steadiness of value, should
not be insisted upon to the extent Of en-
dsngerlng thepassage ofs bill remonetiz-
ing silver at any relation which has been
proposed. The great object is the re-
monetization OF silver. It's precise legal
relation of value to gold is of far less i'm

Opinions of Mr.. GrOesbecA, concerning the
EsgGE relation of Value lohich should be
established bettOeen the metals.
In the foregoing report we have rec
commended that silver be restored to
equal rank in our currency with gold,
and made legal tender for all debts,
public and private. The wisdom and
safety and necessity Of such course, in
order to do exact justice between credit
ors and debtors, to encourage and sus-
tain industry and enterprise, and aid and
prepare for resumption of specie pay
ments, cannot be too strongly urged. We
have had the single standard Of gold for
Che last three years, but having been in
suspension during that time, it is as yet
untried. We had the double standard
during all else of our national life. 1t
was long and we'll tried, and have not
been able to find that we ever suffered
the least harm from the use Of both gold
and silver as legal tender money. On
the contrary, we greatly prospered with
them. They are the currency contem-
plated by the constitution of the United
States; the currency named in our state
constitutions; and the currency TO which
our people are accustomed and with
which they have been always satisfied.
It was upon no demand of theirs that
silver was dsmonetized, and we have
recommended that it be restored to
them.
While we have agreed on this, we have
differed as to the relation which should

/ cannot concur in recommending this
change, but adhere to the old dollar.
It is objected that it contained too
much silver, and by reason Of this was at
a constant premium in the market over
the gold dollar, and therefore would not
circulate here, but left the country as
bullion. This may be so; but it sent
back to us in exchange for itself, it's full
value in gold and merchandise. We are
rich in silver, and can afford to repeat
such transactions in the future.
It is not to be overlooked that quite
recently silver was greatly deprecated,
and that it is yet little below par In
comparison with geld. Some still doubt
the stability of silver, and many are par
tial to gold, and the history Of these
metals will show there has been slight
widening in their relative value. Law
can do much to control this tendency,
and to fix and hold them, when both are
used as money, in steady relation to
each other; but no statute law can make
the relation Interchangeable. A great
abundance or great scarcity Of one or
the other, and the extent Of its use, will
in some degree affect it's value. In view
OF this tendency, and in the present con-
dition Of the metals, we are not called
upon to narrow their relation to each
other, but should keep our silver dollar
Rs rich in silver as 1t was before it's de-
monetizRtion, 1t may be that its re-
monetization at the relation between it
and gold Of ! to 1515, the European or
French relation, would bring it abreast
with gold, and keep it there; but l must
insist that reconciliation, al our old re-
lation Of / to 16, would be quite as GER
tain in it's results, and, in view Of the
apprehension yet lingering in the minds
Of many, more just and acceptable.
It is urged that we should adopt the
relation of to 1519, because it is the re-
lation Of the Latin union, and it's adop-
ton by us would strengthen France and
her associates in their position, and SO
strengthen ourselves also. It is admitted
that the utmost sttainsble steadiness
should be secured in the relation that
may be adopted for the two metals, and
this result is best secured when different
nations using the double standard adopt
the same relation. Such policy may
be indispensable in the Latin union,
composed Of nations adjoining each
other, though Holland, which lies in con-
tact with the Latin union, maintains
slightly differentiation without serious
embarrassment. We are 30 far removed,
that this policy would seem to be second
sry to other considerations especially sp-
plicable to our own case. And / venture
to add, that il the United States and the
leading nations Of Europe, including the
Latin union, were now assembled in
convention to consider this subject, they
would, in view Of the present market
value of the two metals, prefer our own
relation, as being the more accurate and
just.
Until convention as largely attended
as the one just suggested shall take this
matter into consideration, we may safely
remain on our own relation. It answered
in the past; it will answer in the future,
and We are strong enough to maintain
it. About all we should undertake at

The rejection Of Home Rule by the
Lords was a foregone conclusion 1t
was the eontemptuous manner of the
rejection that gave significance to their
action; and the open contempt was the
more offensive as the measure has re-
ceived decisive majority in the
commons and was in effect an express
sion ofthe' prevailing popular senti-
ment. The moral is that England is
las sadly in need Of Home Rule as is
Ireland; and a gtimmering apprehen,
sion IF the truth that home rule i.
better than lord rule is evidently be
