HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
Why President Hayes In 1878 Vetoed the Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Act.

Why PresIdenG Hayes In 1878 Vetoed the Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Act.
 President Hayes believed that our na- tional honor could not be too jealously guarded. In this he differed radically from our 16 to statesmen, who are anxious not only to see our government repudiate one-half of its debts, but to see one-hah of all debts repudiated. It might be well for these nasty statesmen to ponder some of Hayes, reasons for vetoing the act {passed over his head ) to coin and make legal tender silver dol lars worth, i'll gold, only 90 or a2 cents. He said that .'the right to pay duties in silver or ill silver certificates for silver deposits will, when they are issued in sufficient amount to circulate, put an end to the receipt of revenue i'll gold, and thus compel the payment of silver for both the principal and interest of the public debt. ?
 He said that nearly $600, GOO, GOO of the funded debt then outstanding was issued since 1873. "when gold alone was the coin for which the bonds were sold. and gold alone was the coin i'll which both parties to tho contract understood that tho bonds would be paid. " ''These bonds" he continues, entered into the markets of the world They were paid for in gold when silver had greatly de- preciated and when no one would have bought them if 1t had been understood that they would De paid in silver. 7"
 He believed that, in the judgment of mankind, it would be an act of bad faith not to guarantee that pre-existing debts should be paid in as goed money as was legal tender when these debts were con- tracted--in other words, that the govern ment should not legalize the breaking of contracts. ''The standard of value, he said, "should not be changed without the consent of both parties to the con- tract National promises should be kept with unfinching fidelity. There is no power to compel nation to pay its debts. Its credit depends on it's honor. The nation owes what it has led or al lowed its creditors to expect? 1 cannot approve "A bill which i'll my judgment authorizes the violation of sacred obli- gations The obligation of the public faith transcends all questions of profit or public advantage. Its unquestionable maintenance is the dictate as well of the highest expediency as of the most neces- sary duty and should ever be carefully guarded by the executive, by congress and by the people "
 He closed his message by saying that ''it is my firm conviction that if the country is to be benefited by silver coinage it can be done only by tho issue of silver dollars of full value, which will defraud no man. A currency worth less than it purports to be worth will i'll the end defraud not only creditors, but all who are engaged in legitimate busi- ness, and none more surely than those who are dependent on their daily labor for their daily bread. y

Absurdity of Double Standard LegisIation.
 There isn't double standard country i'll all the world, never has been and never will be. Commerce and not law regulates value. And yet we are asked to adopt--by law what can't be ill fact the double standard at ratio of 16 to 1 regardless of consequences The more an honest investigator thinks about the proposition the less likely is he to advocate it. Politicians for office only may seek to work their passage at a 16 to ratio, but the man who works in the shop and on the farm is pretty apt to reach the conclusion that he is ent1- tied to the best money extant. -Belton {Tex.
