ALETTER FROM COL, GRANT
TIE ATTITUDE OF. Hrs FATHER ON
THE SILVER QUESTION.

He Does Not Believe That Gen. Srant Ever
Made the Remark Which the eilveTdtes
Attribute to Him-Hip Conversations
with His Father About the Currency.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1o.-The Populists and
Democrats are SO frequently quoting Gen.
Grant to the efreet that he once said he signed
the act Of 1873 without knowing what 1t con-
tanned on the subject OF silver that Attorn ey-
General Ketcham determined to run tho stato-
ment down. He was not able to hnd 1t anywhere
and at last wrote to Col. Fred Grant at New
York for particulars. The reply was as follows;
my DEAR Sin: Acknowledging tho receipt
Of your communication of Aug. 4, in which
you ask me as to the truth of the statement
which is, and has been for years, going the
rounds. to the effect that my father, Gen.
Grant, at one time said that he did not know,
whom he signed the Coinage act of 1878, that
the silver dollar was dropped from the coinage
and that If he had known the fact he would
have vetoed tho bill, hasten in reply to say
that frequently talked with my father upon
the question of standards of currency and that
I never heard him intimate any such senti-
mont as is credited to him above.
Il am in receipt almost daily OF letters simi-
lar to your inquiry as to whether my father
made the statement attibuted to him in the
little book entitled 'Cotn. can only say that
he never intimated such q statement to me.
In all his conversations with mo he seemed
to take the ground that 1t was q great misfor-
tune for any country to have as tho basis for
their circulating medium any metal that had
the least element of uncertainty about It, and
that the workman, when ho collected his ETH
pend at the end Of tho week. should be abso-
lutely certain that there would be no question
as to the value of the currency which ho had to
supply his needs.
From the time that he was inaururated
President until the Resumption of Specie Pay
ments act was passed all his public announce
ments, and, so far as know, all HIS private
statements. aimed to secure n stable
currency to tho people of the United States.
The Coinage-nct of 1873 does not eliminate
the silver dollar from our coinage in fact
the United States has coined since then more
silver dollars than had been coined during
tho entire period of our national existence
before, and most of these coins were made
during his lifetime. IL is, therefore, not
probable that Gen. Grant ever sRid that he
would have vetoed tho act of 1873 IL he had
known that the silver dollar was dropped
from the coinage, when the silver dollar was
not dropped from the coinage, and 1 would
not believe any one who eaid that he had
heard my father make such remark.
Trusting that the above is satisfactory
answer to your communication, am, my
dear Mr.. Attorney General, very truly yours,
