Robbery to Pay Bonds I'm Sflye

There is another element of meanness I'm
this free coinage of silver. The United
States has always paid it's bonds in gold coin
or it's equivalent. In the darkest hours of
the civil war we stipulated to pay our bonds
principal and interest, in gold, or its equiva-
lent. All Of the war debt has been paid I'm
this way. portion of 1t was paid by the
sale of bonds bearing lower rate Of IN
tereSt, but we eXacted from the purchases
of these bonds gold coin or its equivalent
even while our notes were below par I'm coin
About SS41 ,000000 of these securities ar.
now outstanding, Of which s262. 600 900 was
Sold by this administered ton, and paid for in
gold coin. 1t is one of the objects of thos.
Who advocate the free coinage of silver to
force the government to pay these bonds in
SILVER coin reduced In value. 1t is harsh
to express this opinion of a measure favored
by many good people, but l cannot regard !,
IN any other light but as both a fraud and a
ROBBERY, and all the worse il committed bc

Preserve the Nations Honor.
Now, fellow-citizens, have said all
desire to say at present on the free coinage
OF silver nave the confident hope that
the great body Of republican and democratic
nents of our people, will stamp their re-
buke upon this measure Of infamy and thus
preserve intact the honor, the credit and
glory of our great country.
This matter Of the free coinage of silver
ard the degradation of the standard of
value involves not only questions of money
but of honor and good faith. When their
honor Is involved, the people never fail to
respond. They have complied with every
promise and paid every debt contract ed
since the organization of the national gov
ernment as it became due. They have paid
four-ffths Of the debts contracted during
the civil war, and the prospect was hopeful
that all of it would be paid before the close
of this century, but this reversing our
standards of value has, like the fire bell a
night, startled and alarmed our people,
Let US settle 1t by following the action of
Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Benton,
Hunter, Lincoln and Grant; let us maintain
silver and gold at par with each other at
the legal ratio Of 16 to 1 until a conference
among nations can prescribe common
standards Of value. In the meantime let no
act be done. no policy be adopted. no ex-
pedient resorted to that will tarnish the
honor of this great republic

specie payments the resumption act of 1878
provided silver coins of dimes, quarters and
half dollars for the redemption of the frac-
tional currency then in general use in our
country. These new silver coins gave great
satisfaction. They were limited in legal

At this time Mrs Bland of Missouri intro
duced his hill for fhe free coinage of silver
a. the re ito 81 II to 1 on the demand Of
the holders Of silver bullion. Silver had
then declined below that ratio. One ounce
of gold was Voc tn! more than sixteen ounces
of silver The Bland DILL. if it had become
a law as it passed the House, would have
demonetized goldl Such was not the pur-
pcse of Congress:l
When the bill came to the Senate an
amendment Was Imade on the motion of
Senator Allison who changed the scope of
the bill, ands authorized and directed the
Secretary Of the Treasury to purchase from
time to time tkilver bullion at the market
price not less,than $4,000 nor more than
81 600 600 worth per month, and cause the
same to be coined into silver dollars as
fast as purchased. 1t also provided that
any holder of the coin authorized by that
act might deposit the same with the treas
urer OF the United States in sums not less
than 80 and receive certificates therefor
of not less than $40 each. and that the coin
deposited should be retained in the treasury
| for the payment OF the certificates of the
demand.
This bill so amended passed both houses.
1t was known as the Bland-Allison act IT
greatly added to the difficulties of re-
Sumption, and for that reason was vetoed
by President Hayes, but became a law over
his veto.
Under its provsfens the United States mr.
chased over 291 10O0,OOO ounces of silver a (

President Jefferson of the coinage of the
silver dollar, and after that date none were
coined for more than thirty years. This
order of Jefferson. I suppose, would be
called by our populist!c friends 1.-The crime
Of 1sO6'
In the meantime France and other coun-
tries adopted the ratio Of fifteen and half
ounces OF silver as the equivalent of one
ounce of gold. To avoid these embarrassing
changes England in 1916 adopted gold as
the single standard in that country, and
silver as subsidiary coin.
