The Natlon necds no outside defense, Itis abundantly able to take care of itselfs If its cditor-fuchiof and Judge Lawrence bad ex- perfenced the mutual advantage of personal contact, the Judge would nover haye accused tho Nation of the following, uamely: " iinftation of tho London Spectator, alack of independence, and editorship by o single individual.

'Thore was & timo when declsions of the Supreme Court of 1llinole were lluypnlud to be very largely ehaped by the opinion of Judge Lawrence, and that fact atrongly argued taelr excellence, - ‘The Judge takes tho Natlon to task for opposing tho **romonctization " of sllver, The facts of the sliver-issue are as follows, namely: The United States bonds aro peyablo o coli,” When thesa bonds wure Issued, both gold and silver dollars wore & legal-tender, and a duilar of the latter con~ tained 4124 grelns of the metal, In 1873, a Federal atatuto wne passed increasing tho wolght of the silver Lo 420 gruins of the metnl, and prol lblllnF the Issuaof allver coina of & dife ferent prolimr( onate welght, The practleal efect of this luf islation wax to taka from the sflver dol- lar of 41244 gralne the character of a lopal-tender. During the last two years, fran canses lupossible 1o hiave been forescan, sllver motal has conaider- ably depreciated In value, by ressan-of which it hes beon }mflaclud toamend the act of 1873 to tho ast votel who abandoned the cxtent of directing that 412% gralns of allver shall mgain constitute a legol.tonder sliver Aollar, and so suabie the Uniled States to pay thelr 'bonds with so-called silver dollars would have an intrinsic value and giire chaalng power leas (han thosewith which the Gov- ernment promlsed to pay its obligations af the time of thelr erecution, Ttis ngwinat this 'echemo that the Nutlon protests. As s matter of strict law, the Judge eays the schemo fs defcusible. Posslbly, But of that furtherom,* * The Judge fiest chiden the Nation for saying that the advocates of the schome enibraco all the advo- cates of exclusive paper-money, aud for claiming that, when & wan promiaes to piy o debt fu coln, it does makea difference what change 1n valne the coin has undergone In the interval botween tha promise and the payment, As to tho Nation's claim that the remonctigers embrace all the papursmoney meu, the Judge offers no word of contradiction. There fs none. Tho other clalm of tho Aation, Jast sbove noted, the Judge com. ‘Lats on the ground, to use hls own language, thut it is parallel to u law which would requlre that *“The man who gave hia uole for $100, thres years ago, should now pay $110, Liccauso both and -fivor « + o hud lost 10 percentof theie pur. chaslog power.™ And the Judge querics whethor the United Btates Suproma Court would hear ar- gument on the question of the constitutivnality of a statute that shonld caver such a requirement. The quotad words, with ail due respect, contaln jouchof s aopbism that fa ouly as dangerous s It v populn eforo discussing the sophleni, however, the atstement itaelf suny be refuted. The mct of 1878 made no change In the standard \wlfim of the gold ullar,—none whatever; gnd the debtor who gave Lils note prior Lo 1874 for $100 n coin, as the Gove ernment di pay that nute with 100 gald dol- lars,—the same dollars in every respect that circu- Iated prior to 1873, There {s no law requiring the indlvidual or tha Governmeni to vavlhwlr coln= notes for $100 with 110 gold dollars, or with any number groater than 100" When the act of 1874 was passed, gold was st s premium of 14 per cont and a fraction; ond at no time alnca tho adoption of that sct the premium on gold stoad above that Ogure, except for very briof periods, much of the time, indecd, l{n actot 1874, the Very ico the passage of tho promiuni on gold has been from 144 to4 percentiess than the ruling price at the adoption of thenew law. Thls, for months past, hes” been the case, * Tho consequenca |s, {’nu\, very much of tio time since the adoption of “the act of 1873 ¢ debtor Lias been able to command gold doltars ta pay his debts with, of for eny other purpose, at less cost than ho could three or four years u’ L the present juncturo of aflalr, 10 coin-debts contracted Frlur 10 the act of 1873, the debior can pay them with lees producing sgors than be could when he incurred the indebteduess, A word now of the sophilem referrcd to: Labor measurce_all values, and, vither dirvetly or by ife returns, pays all debls,” For tho promotion of commerce, coin-dollare ars employed both lo meastre and exchange valuad, or, in uthor words, commadities, This dual 18 tha sale otfice of colu-dollars. Now, what arv the urs! ey sfmply tokens of values, and these values kaye sugeless ieauurs, nainely: tho cost of the labor sequisito to produce them.

And thie distinction ralnu the sophism.
