F:r: The cverutu--n has purchased and now hasou hand sufficient silver bul lion to permit the coinage of ullthe silv-r dollars necessary to redeem, in snchd'd lars. the treasury n ites isi led for the pur chase ol Mid silver bal'un aud enough. Les;;es, to coin ai gun or seigniorage 35, '. ' -1 additional standard silver dollars. s- nd There ate outstanding and now in circulation treasury notes nued in pay ment of th bullion parchased amounting to i;.".. .-ii. ISO Ih-se notes are leal ten der in payment of ail debta, public and pr.vate, except wb-n otherwise expressly stipulated; they are receivable for customs", taxes and all public dues; when ne'd by cir,:..- is j. ' 1 :. may b- e, ucted aa par! of their lawful rr-rves, and they are redeemed by the government la gold at the option of the holders. These ad v 1 . tageoos attributes were d-lilverately at tached 10 th-se notes at the tim-' ',f their :ss ;e, :ney are fill y understood by our pe. pio. to whom such note- have been dis t titrated as currency and nave inspired confidence in their safety and value and tav- undoubtedly th is induced their con tinued and consented r.se a. money, instead of anxiety for their redemption. Having referied to some incidents which I deem relevant to the subject it remains for m- to submit a specific statement of my objections to the bid now under con sideration. This bill consists of two sections exclud ing one which merely appropriates a sum safhc.eot to Carry the act into effect. The first section provides for the immediate co, sax- i.oion in to.; treiL- nry which represents the so-called gain of seigniorage which would ansa from the coinage of ail tne bullion on hand, which gain or tetgnlor ge this section declares to beS5,iM redirects that the money so coined, or 'he certificates issued there, on. shall be used in tho payment f such public expenditures, and provides that if the needs of the 'restjry demand it the secretary of the treasury me". 111 nis dis. Cretion. issue silver certificates' in excess of such roi igfl n tejfeefiing the amount of seigniorage in laid section authorized to be coined. The sec . nd section directs that as soon as posihle nf r-r th- coinage of this sejgn longs the romaiadorof thebniiion heiu ty tiie government sl.sll fie cn'ned into legal tender standard silver dollars, and that they -hail be heid in the treasury for the redemp'ion of the trntiry notes ls-ued in the pur' base of aid hollton. ft provides (bat as last as the bullion shall bo coined for the redemption of said no'eu thoy shall not. tie r- MKUld, 'bnt snail he canceled aud destroyed la amounts qna! to the csin I. eld sr. any ti ne in th- treasury de rived fr irn the cm tags provided for, and that a-,lvr Mrtlficatet tnnll be iss ued on such coin In the msmaer now provided y Isw. it is, however, MPOCtBliy ileclared in .aid section that the act shall not Ire Construed to 1 hinge existing laws relating to the leg.d tender character or mode of redemption of tho treasury notes issued for the purchase of the silver bullion to lie coined. 'I he entire 1 id is most unfortunately constructed. Nearly svery sentence pre MOtl nncertalnty and invites controversy as to its mMOlOg and Intent. The Brit section ISMpOCtaTly faulty In this rwpl '. arid it is extretnely iloiilitful whether ita lai.ijilsge. -,vnl permit the ronsutiiMnili'iii of its roppoeed pnrpotdei I am ie 1 to believe that the promoters of the lull intended In this seen m to provide for the coinage oi the bullion constituting the gain, or iigmorage, as it i, r ailed, into ststolard lllvef dollars, anil yt He re I, positively nothing In tim section to pre vent III coinage into any description nf stiver coins now authorised nndcf my existing law, I suppose this section was nlso intended, In case the needs of tne Trnnsuiv called for money fester than the seigniorage bullion eon d actually be coined, to permit the is ue of surer MrtlUcMtoi in advaoot of tuch COiOagei but its language would Mem to permit I lie Issuance of inch oettlfioatM tO doable the amount ol toigntoragi as stated, one. half of which would not rep resent one ounce nf nlver In the treasury. The debate upon this MOtlottln OOttgreM developed an earnest and putitivo differ IttCe nf opinion as to Its object arid menu ing. In soy event I am clear Hint tun present perplexities and einbtirra-siiien ts oT t he secretary of I lie trenmiry ought, net In be augmi-nted by devolving upon linn the necntlnn of a law so uncertain and confused. I inn not willing, however, to rust my objection to this section solely on these grounds. In my judgment, si. Hud finance Ones not commend a further infusion of silver into our cm retiry at this time untie COmpanled by further adeiiuale pro Vislnn lor the Inaiiiteiiiiuci! liioui tiens ury of 11 safe gold reserve. bniibts also arise as to the meaning and Construction of the mCOnd section of the liill. If the silver dollars therein directed to he coined are, as tbeteotlon provides, to be held In the treasury for the redemption of treasury notes, it is t. d that, strictly speaking, Mrtlfloalet cannot bu is sued on m h coin "in then 1 now pro- ', vided bylaw," because these dollars are motley held in tho treasury for tho txpMM purpose oi redeeming trees nry times mi demand. which would ordinaril) mean that thoy Wcio set apart fm the put pose ol iiiibsti luting thrill for these treasury UOtll, They aie uot, therefore, held In such a way as to furnish a basit lor certileatM ao cordlugtoan) provision id existing law If, however, silver certificates can prop erly be issued npon these dollars ih-is- It nothing in the seen, in in indicate the cbaraoterlatlot ami Inuctlous of thuM oei tmeetes li ihej weretobeof the Mme ohnracter a- the mWui 01 ruinate, m elrcu latiuu uuder existing Inws 1 hey would at lust he receivable only (or customs, taxes sud all public dues, and under the Ian (.'.nice of ihis section u is, in say the least, extremely doubtful w hether the certlfl c ites it contemplates w ould be lawfull) received even fur such purposes, IMBIOI li NOT Till oM.V i.u l.r. w batever else may be said of the uncer taiuitlM of exprettton In ihis lull, they certainly ought not to be found In legitla tieu nffecttug subjects so Impnrtanl ami f it reacbiug as our ttnauoes and ourrenuy, In stating other and more Important rea sons formy disapproval ol thisseotlon 1 shall, however, as. nine thai under Us pro vision, ibetreasurj noteslMuedln pay itirut tor silver bullion will continue to be redeemed, at heretofore, in silver or gold at the option of t ho holders ami thai if when they are presented for redemption, or reach toe treasury In any other manner, there are in the treasun coined m'ver dol lars tpii in uomlual value to mob treat urv notes, then and 111 thai 0BM Ihe Uotes n ill be destroyed ami silver certificates to an equal amount substituted. I inn convince I that this scheme Is ill- tdvlted ami dungeroua ss an ultimate result of us oiieration treatory notM which are legal tender lor all debts, pub he ami private, and which mo redeemable iu g, id ami tilver ai the option ol the holder, will be replaced by sliver certifi cate which, whatever may be ilini char acter SUU description, Will have none of these qualities. In anticipation of this re sult, and us au immediate effect, the treasury uotes will naturally appreciate 111 valtt? and desirability. The laol that gold can be realized upon them, and tin further fact that their dettrurtloU has been decreed when they reach tin- treat ury, matt tend to their withdrawal Irom general circulation to be Immediately presented for gold redemption or to be boarded lor presentation at a more con ran lent sestou. Tho lequelof both operations wilt be a l ire addition to the silver coinage cur rency 1:1 our circulation aud a correspond ing reduction of g old iu our treasury. Tho sreon eat has been made that these things will not occur at mice beoaUM a long time u.us: elapse before thecoiuugaut anything but the seigniorage can be entered npon, lithe phy-ical effects ot the second sec tion of ihe bill are not to be realized until far in the future, this may f Ornish a Strong lesson why it should not be passed SO much In advance, but the postponement ol its act ,ai operations cannot prevent the fear and loss of confidence aud nerv als pros tration which would immediately follow i;s pasMge and bring about its worst con segleuces. 1 regard this acliou ot the bill as em body tog a plan by wuich the government will beobligwl to pay out its s anty store of gi id for no other purpose than to force an Unnatural addition of silver money into the hands ot our people. This is an oxart reversal of the policy whicn tale finance dictates il we are to preserve pnntv be tween gold and Silver and mniutaiu sensi ble Dim .-tallism. OVBRTAXIKQ TIIE UuI.D KESEKlE.
