NOT HOSTILE TO SILVER.
SECRETARY GAGE ON THE BILL FOR
STRENGTHENING THE GOLD STANDARD.

Washington. Feb 1S-In discussing the proposed
legislation for strengt hening the gold standard
day Secretary Gage said:
The Committee on Courage has reported to the
House. with favorable recommendations. the bill
introduced by Congressman Hill OF Connecticut

on the contrary. Il Is designed 10 put the credit
and resources OF the Government behind our silver
currency in uneQuivOcal and straightforward
manner. There has always been implied promise
this II 10 became necessary To protect the
holders OF silver. but the language has been in the
vague terms OF political compromise. The of
1880 declared 10 be the purpose OF the Govern
ment 10 maintain the parity OF It's gold and silver
coins but other means existed To assure that
fact than that both Were receivable for all public
dues. Experience has shown that that provision
Will sometimes maintain an OVeTvalued currency
par with the standard and sometimes fail to do it,
Whether IL will depends upon the proportion
OF the OverValued currency to the amount or stan
dard money In the country. the state or trade at
home and abroad and other contingencies.
So much uncertainty attaches 10 these conditions
that II Is a rule OF sound finance the world over
that a paper currency or an OVerValued coin cur
rency should be convertible at the VIII OF the
holder into standard money. When this Is the
case the Government which Is responsible for the
issue OF such currency. and has prOited by IT, as
sumes whatever risks may attach to IL.
An anomalous SITUATION Is presented oy the at
tttude OF the so-called friends of silver in Oppos
tion TO this bill They claim 20 regard the silver
dollar as the poor mans special coin. and unQuss-
tionably the present stock is mainly in the hands
is the money OF wage earners and retail trade not
OF bank reserves. What purpose these champions
OF silver can have In opposing a measure that Is
calculated to eradicate ali distrust concerning this
