I asked him to-day. #1do not understand the Prerident exactly sotorecommend. He only recommends that tho publle debt and {nterest shall not be patd In any colnaga of loss commercial yalue than the present zold colnaga of the country. If fn the remonctization of siiver the coinage ba gf the same commercial valuo as gold, I do not under- stand him to say that the public debt and interest should not be pald In it as well a8 In gold colnage of the same value. I uunderstand the V'resident to simply recommend that the publie faith and credit be malntained, aod that the publle debt should ndt be pald tn a debascd colnage, or one of lower valus than that which swas the basis of he debt. No one can be more deeply Impressed with tho great truth of the Importance of main- taining publlc falth in meeting public obliga- tiona than I am.” #Do you consider that the bondholder will be unjustly dealt by ff fio fs comoelled to takes sliver Instead of a gold dollar?” #Not at all, provided the silver doliar fsof the sam o commerelnl volua as the rold dollar.” “Do you think a Uongress of nntions neces- sary to regulate the ratio between gold and sliser?
