Ths Teller Revolutions.

A review Of the whole debate shows
beyond dispute the impregnable tech
nical position of the silverites. The
funding act of July Il, 1870, expressly
declares that the bonds to he issued
under it shall be payable, principal and
interest, sin coin of the present stand
ard value" The resumption act of 1873
authorizes the issue of 'either of the
descriptions Of bonds of the United
States described in the act of congress
approved July Il, 1870" and all the
bonds issued under that act, including
the s262,0O0,000 of bonds sold by the
Cleveland administration, recite, on
their face, that they are payable, prin-
cipal and interest, "in the coin Of the
standard value of the United States on
said July IA, 1870" Now the mints
were not closed to the free and uniim-
tied coinage of silver dollars OF 412 .
grains each until May, 1873, so that the
''coin" in which all the bonds OF the
United States in existence, except the
Pacific railroad subsidy bonds, are pay
able according to their terms, embraces
the silver dollar of 415 II grains, with
out limitation in the quantity, as well
as gold Matthew Marshall in
New York Sun.
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1898-02-11

The resolution declaring that the
coinage of silver as legal tender in
payment of bouds of the government
is not in violation of public faith nor
in derogation of the rights of the pub
lie creditor was adopted by the United
States senate, Friday by the decisive
vote of AZ to 81. Commenting on the
probable results of putting the terms
of the resolution into practice the Boise
Statesman asks and argues "whether
payment of silver dollars to bondhold-
ers would cause the two coins to part
company" The Statesman says ''the
best flnanciers of the country hold that
the parity would he unsettled by pay
ment of bonds in silver" How about
unsettling the parity by paying
the bonds in gold? Unconsciously,
perhaps, the Statesmen has touched the
very marrow of the contention between
the single standard and bimetalic ad-
vocates. Bimetalists maintain that the
refusal of the government to avail it.

and despised in proportion as gold has
advanced in value and in the abnormal
service it is called upon to perform.
Actual parity vanished long ago when
gold was made the exclusive medium
for discharging public and private
debts and it is return to actual parity
that bimetallists now seek by restoring
the lawful functions of both METALS
