' , SILVER REMONETIZATION."
The New York Tribune'of August
22d pints a „long letter from that
distinkurshed statesman and political
econombit,, Tliunow WEED, who is
acknowledged to be one of the shiest
writers of the age, on the silver cities-
Van. It. is a matter of surprise to
Many that one so well informed and
ripe in experience shoilld allow his
judgment to . be biased on so import
ant a' Meiture. But the noticeable
lack of liniment in Mr, W.'s lttf,9r
may be regarded as,the - strongest iii- -
gument against the remolietizati • -
and restoration of silver as a stand.:
ard. When , men- of Such Ampies
ticined ability can . discover no reas
ons in favor of so Imporiant h quell
tion; and resort to rhetoric instead
of facts—ignorjng the truth of his-,
tory, and the experience of ages, so
familiar ,to even - casual observers of
the subject—it is fajr and lo_gical to
•
conclude none can, be found. - -
The p'optitar ,bit specious pry, " fa t
vet.* bondholders," is put promi
nently forward in, the letter, but it
is difficult to divine what they have
to'do with the questri. Mr. WEED
would certainly have no wiong donia
to those wh • O'loaned their money to
the ievernme t Vi its timeNif need.
As to " shining arters and dimes,"
no one objects to them'as at, present
employed.
, ..
It will require something more
than assertion "to weaken a-theory"
or the "convenience of the Latin gov-.
ernments ;" and if silver has-been in
use . " since 'Vie days of Abraham,"
iron was used as money prior tO,tha:
period, andogs now more largely pro
duced in Ameiica,_ and "has various
- other uses ;" and if the argument in
favor of silver, is *good, - should be
eMployed as a
.standard. But the
objection to ironis only more weigh
ty because produced in .greater 'quan
tities.
The assertion that the Irk* of 1873
"was quietly but skillfully worked .
through Congress,- not understood
by Members," will hardly be credit
ed by intelligent readers, i wheh it is
remembered that' one of the largest
interests in the, States, "which pro
duced too much silver," Was opposed
to the bi 11..• It is a , matter of record
that the wealthy and intlaenti l men
owning the tinier mines left-a 9 stone
unturned to Compass the defeat of
the bill; and it As the sheerest' folly
to allege Members' tal Senators-were
left without inarmation, or thatany
aid which money 'would command
was overloOked. • The best interests
and integrity of the country demand
ed the law and it was passed against
a most determined and forinidable
opposition, supplemented by a liberr
al outlay of money.;z - -
Our present depresse&condition is
chargeable to the extravagance and
waste incident to the late diva war,
and,tlie change of labor its. le;
gitimate chatinel.'s, rather than to any
legislation in Congress. l'he unScru
pulous,yeekless speculatk who is
ever oiu the aleit to take•-ditantage
of fictitious and uncertain values is
benefited by anything : ,which upset ,-
ties cdmmercial., relations,;while leg

by reckless - speculation, to the detri
'meat of lionest trade has uniformly
been the result ' , of inflat6d values—
but, fortunes so accumulated - often
disappear,-as suddenly as they appear
to act:Mutilate.

s'c'are told by Mr. Weeti that in
1N,3 nearlyon-half of all the silVyr
produced on the globe was mincti in
the United .States, but he .doca not
inform us how much it hasincrased
since consequently we are not pie
pared to; say that we can, as Xing
Solomon - did," have beams of silver,"

interest of speculators owning the
mines. We knoW 'that beams have
long -been constructed of iron.
Ili regard to coin, it may be more

.conv nient for emit i Ilatiop to - Use
that which U. - makes,' but the ounce
of gold of unifct i im fineness, has the
same Pablo in ;England, France or
America ; and iio further argument
in . favor of a single gold standard is
necessary. This' arguing all around
the real , question, as all: lnitationiits
do, is simply a v&sfe'of time.
A great commercial nation like the
United States, with ij large and va
ried resources, cannot afford to have
a different standard of values from
the countries with' which they . do•
business. Our exportS and -imports

The impossibility of keeping the
silver dollar of equal. value with the
gold dollar makes it impriOcable to
have the two stindards; the iapid in;
crease of , production of silver w ill,
constantly decrease the value, and
would keep the amount of tillver
whicit , equal's dollar, constantly
changing. Thb history of all countries
States, or Territories, that have used
an .unsettled and depreciated curren
cy has been to_ end in disaster and
finacial difficulty, wadElliiiiot an
ideaor askrtion, but is Well estab
lighed by history. ,
On - the question ! of resumption,
which is important to every interest
•in the country, • Undf , particularly to
labor, a few questions and let; :the
fitctannswer without cobwebs thrown
in, and we have a plain practical so
lution.. .
oda
For -what were legal-tender notes
isned, and what .was: the prom-
Ise atthe time.? To help, raise funds
to carry the country over a crisis of
the most -important kind; 'aud the
promise was that they shoilld , bere' !.
deemed as soon as possibte, andttio
one will attempt to justifpbad faith ;
and the question is, mun t the--letal
tender notes be redeemed ? A four
per cent. bond will sell for par, a less
rate of 'interest than ever has - been
known, and the Governmerit is bound
to keep the promise in -a manner
most beneficial to the country, -and
to the interest of genefal'
But, the inllationist, what will
youdo bdsinesS with? „The conclusive
answer to that is, thartrilin ., govern
'melt pay gold for legal tender notes,
those who hold them will,have five
'per cent. more money T i an they had
-When they held 'the notes r but thpe
is an important interest - that it is ne
,
ces;sary to protect, thaV_the business
of the country may not be unneces
sarily disturbed. • •
.lany of the banks hold paper and
securities not immediately available,
but if the goVernMent is prepared,
which it is easy and practicable to
be at an early day, and announces it
is4eady .to •redeeni in gold, which
kiips the objectionable discount on
paper money, and the notes arc per
mittedle circulate; and are only sent
for, redemption as the lauds of trade
require, no shock NO be caused, and
the banks will have the necessary fa
cilities to. obtain the funds to redeem.
The Wisdom croakers say, why Tay
a • debt without interest ?, The an-.
swer is, that this is a governmeit of
the people, and
. the laws should- be
to goveri the people, and the people
as individuals claim the right . to do
the business, • and the
, government
should not do the business, and bank
ing is the same as any 'business, and
the accumulation of the money pow
, rin the hands Of any: one. institu . ...
Lion-would be dangerous and contra
ry to the spirit of. our institutiops,
as the government could as properly
monopolize any other ! important bus
iness.
. ,
It •will be sakd by' the doubters
(and there havdalways been those
sinee'the days, when Cuiiisr was on
earth), .hat the most important
"question hag. not peen referred to
—the ability to mangle. 'A na
tion that can carry on ' of. the
most gigantic , .*ars that has been
known, and furnish four thbusand
millions tp e emploY over half mil
lion men to destroy a vast amount of
prOperty, and the people put as much
more money Since the close of the.
*orthless railroads, and keep
up all payments and reduce the debt
nearly, one-third, and iMproVe the
credit so that the rate of interest is
only two-thirds what it has been, cer
tainly could pay three - . himdred and
twenty millions if those who hold it'
want the pay, which is, as muehlas 'is
in the hands of the public. With an
export of two hundred millions"'mo - re
than imports, if the unemployed la
bor could be distributed and the pro
per number employed in producing
from the soil, and resumption dis
ppsed of,. which should be done with
out delay, , a greater, prosperity is be
fore us than has - ever been known.
The over-production of sortie kinds
of manufacture's; and the speculative
prices Of propertY\must be corrected',
and s may cause individual . disaster,
but it will not impro,vel.)y temporiz-•
ing and delay.
. The Poor house question is being
piefty thoroughly discuslsed in all
parts of the, county, and from: all we
L can gather; have no doubt the propo-
sition will be adopted by a large ma
jority. The Northern Tier (Yar,ette
and Athens Gpzette, endorse the ac
tion of the - Commissioners in select

The Pour IfotisNem and appur

by the County Cominissioners seems
\to be / undergoing a criticism in some
of on local papers' winch partakes
not a little of the pirit of - personal,

publie and their interests:,- We. have
nothing to do with the present ()tin
er or occupant of the property in dis
cussing the value and merits• of the
Myer estate as one suitable for the
purposes of a , home for the indigent
rand'unfortanate. Those most famil
iar with that estate and its-surround
ings; cannot fail, in our judgment; of
perceiving abdut all that, is requisite
for the maintenance of a large estab
lishment, such as thelnesent and fu-.
tine needs of the county demand. If

The most serioueobjection. which
*elooked for in the investigation l of I
this subject was the .locality ofi' the' ,
estate in question. Some would un t
doubtedly prefer to have such an e's--
tablishment Iton the .public square;
others, having-a. farm to sell, oppose
this selection, perhaps, • thinking i to
secure themselves or . some nearer
friend by this opposition.; but when
we consider the facilities for reach-.
:ing this locality the ample extent:of
the estate,- and the very great varie
ty of occupations
,permissable when
leached, together with the cheapness
'of the property, ought. to silence
those who ar e caviling ostensibly-for
the public good, but poisibly.for pri

If the Commifisioners make no
worse blunders than the selection of
this property for the establishment
of a home for the destitute, they -inay

perfect repcise. We believe the -peo
ple will _stand by them in the choice,
they have:, made.. Especially When
we consider the contiguity of* this
estate to the growing towns around
it, and the adaptability of these " side-

Although the leaders in the movement
