Said They Were Cic7rIy Payable In
the Terms OF the Contract.

Atlanta Constitution.
Secretary Smith quotes from a speech
OF the late Senator BeEJa min II. HIM TO
JUSTIFY the formers sudden conversion
against tree coinage. In the same ad-
dress from which Senator Smith quotes.
Mr. Hill spoke as follows:
There Il another style Of argument
70 which wish 10 express my utter dis
SENT There are 'ome who claim that
under these laws as they exist, the
ponds are now payable in gold alone
IN my Judgment that is 4 totally un-
tsnaole position. II is true. / admit,
that you cannot pay the bonds In what
vas not coin: but II silver Is restored to
the coinage, that moment the bonds are
pay able In silver as well as gold. be-
cause the pledge In the act OF 1859 Is
not to pay In GOLD. Is not TO pay in
siiyer. but to pay in coin. and both sill
ver ana gold are coin. So the act OF
1870 says that this bond is redeemable
N coin Silver at that time was OF as
much value as gold, and the best way
Tor everybody to meet this question is
10 meet " according 10 the facts. There
~ not a Judge on earth who would not
hold that colin in the act OF 1869 and
the act OF 1870 meant gold ana silver
fou may. by virtue OF your sovereign
power. have right to strike either
from the coinage: but II both are coin
eu' lhen the bond is payable in either.
and that position is the true one, the
correct one. Gentlemen who are anx-
Injustice when they charge bad faith
upon the government simply because
II STANDS to Its contract There Is NO
bad faith in executing the contract,
Ihere IS another thing ] wish to
say which has not been said 1t is said,
increase the weight Of the silver dollar
before you pay IL to the bond holders
Under the act of 1863 All bonds is-
sued before that day, or which have
not been refunded under the act az
loio, are payable In gold or silver AT
M,nateYer 10 the standard value OF
SILVER ana gold when the bond Is paid.
BUT That rule does not apply 10 the
bonds that lave been issued under
the act OF 1870, because that act ey-
pressly says they shall be redeemahIe
IN coin at the standard value of that
gay; that Is. in silver OF 412 10 grains.
In gold OF 25.S grains, You cannot
ehAny that act by changing your coin
age law. That is fixed You may pass

CUBAN DOCUMENT.
Prepared In the state Department
aud Carried to the White House.

Prepared In the state Department
and Carried to the White House.
ST. Louis. No. April 10.--A special TO
the Globe-Democrat from Washington,
d. c., says: A document OF great mo-
ment was drafted at the state depart
ment on Monday and was carried by
Secretary Olney in person to the white
House. 1t has been before the president
ever since. several times the secretary
has been sent for and has been closet
ed with the president. General Scho-
field, in whose knowledge OF the inter-
relations OF civil and military law the
president has much confidence, has
been called to these conferences.
The document relates to Cuba. 1t
marks out the course which Mr.. Olney
thinks the United States should take,
and to which he desires the president
20 commit himself. The president has
delibernted upon the matter and II is
now thought he has reached a con-
clusion which VIII be made known to
the full cabinet today. Various rumors
prevail as to the character OF this doc
ument. There is reason to believe that
1t Is addressed to the Spanish govern
ment; that II deplores the existing con-
ditions in Cuba and that II expresses
the earnest desire OF this country for a
speedy settlement on terms honorable
to Spain and the revolutionists. The
document, It IS said, suggests that
President Cleveland act as mediator
between Spain and the revolltionists.
