Would F Start. ght From the DeArmond Enforce: Have [un Yo the Editor of the Republic Butrern Mo, July 10 —The publ raind has been filled with alarm ou| unt of the finan turba through which the count 1s p - | -. i ing, and a great deal has been} said and written to point out the cause of and the remedy for existing ae The great x nt in this, as in other investigations and sade the newspaper. The MKepubiic struck many telling blows for mocracy, and for the West and South, as neglected portions of the Union. It has taught some people the philosophy of bimetallism, and has strengthened many cthers in the faith. Some time ago—a short time —we all understood the teaehi of The Republic to be that the tig for bimetallism should be made from the first and along the whole line Now some fear The Republic is be coming u convert to the faith of those who demand the ‘uncondit- ional” repeal of the Sherman law, with bimetallism as an after consid eration. Is it wise to accept this uncon- ditional repeal—we might say ‘un- conditional surrender’-—philosophy; or may the friends of silver as a money metal afford to pause and re flect a little before committing them selves to the unconditional repeal programine? The public has been told over and over that all the ills our body politic is heir to may be traced to the Sher man law, and that, therefore, the Sherman law should be repealed at once, and without ceremony or con dition. Democrats did not make the Sher- man law, and are not its friends or apologists. But is this friendless law respon- sible for all that is charged against it? Note a few of its provisions. Note, then, how they have been disregard ed by the Treasury Department The Sherman law provides for the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of sil ver bullion each month, for which Treasury notes shall be issued. It further dir ction 2): “That the Treasury notes issued in accord ance with the provisions of this act shall be redeemable on demand in coin, “and such Treasury notes shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except where otherwise stipulated in the contract, and shall be receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues, and whe received may be reisst ed.’ A ‘That upon demand of the holder of any of the Treasury notes herein provided for the Secre tary of the Treasury shall, under such regulations as he may pres-- cribe, redeem such notes in gold or silver coin at his direction ” Section 3 of the same Sherman law requires: “That the Secretary of the Treasury shall each month coin 2,000,000 ounces of silver bullion pu under the provisions of this act into standard silver dollars until the first day of July, 1891,and after that time he shall coin as much as may be neccessary to provide for the re demption of the Treasury notes herein provided for,” ete. Section 3 of the Bland act of Feb ruary 28, 1878, provides “That any holder of the coin authorized by this act (the standard silver dollar) may deposit the same with the Treasurer orany Assistant Treasurer of the} United States in sums not less than $10, and receive therefor certificates of not less than $10 each, corres- ponding with the denominations of the United States notes.
