A Lotter from 3r. Jlorace White, To the Fdtor of The Tyibune, Cntcaao, Jan. 11.—~Some efghtcen months ago I published my views of the proposed re- monetization of silver in a pamphlet. The sub- ject was then fresh, and public opinton had not become sharply divided upon It. Among other propositions [ Tald down the thres following: 1. That remonctization would not bring any more sliver Into circulation than we now have, but would cause the paper currency todecline In value. 2, That f¢ would make silver recelvable for customa duties. 8. That it would moke silver pavablo for in- terest on the public debt. 1 might enumerate other effects, both moral and cconomical, that remonctization would have, but 1 do not propose to go over the beat- en ground again at this time, 1 maintain that the three foregoing are all the efecta claimed to be beneficial and deslrable by the advocates of the Blaod bil! that would be produced by it. Al three are bad, In my judgment, but, goud good or bad, they constitute the very maximum and sum total of *reticf” for the debtor class orany otber class derivablo from that meas- ure. Tt is necdless, I think, to arguc that ailver remonctization, without spocie resumption, will not bring auy moro sllver into circulation than wanow have. But specio resumnption has not takon place yot, and c;nnm. take place for somu yearsto coma under the Bland bill. Biver bulllon I8 not legnl-tender, and nobody proposcs to make It such. Thereforo speclo resumption cannat take place {n silver until asufficlent num- ber of dollars can be colned for the purpose. Twenty or thirty millons of silver dollars per annum Is the maximum colning capacity of tho mints,and I leave you to answer um?ucsuou bow many of the prescut advocates of sliver remone- tization will volo to establish new mints in order to coln silver dollars to redeem tho green- backs with. T yenturs to ssy that not one In ten of them will be In favor of specla resum) tlon after stiver Is romonctized,—still Jess In Iavor of erccting new wints Lo lastgn tho pro- cess. As far the gold-atandard men, they will ¢ as in favor of specic resumption after the Bland bill passes as the Groenbackera them selves, und for this reason, that they are op- pused to expending the nativnal resources to uurchase a total of such variable and uncertain valuo as silver. They know perlectly well timt the dificulty of getting back to the basis smvnlhng In the commervial worid—the gold asis—would bu enorinously enhunced Ly the presence of a great quantity of the metal silver fn nethnl efrcutntion and in bank yaults. They believo that the country muat and will at some timo go Lack to the gold bass, and thoy will not vousent to embarrass tho steps by intro- ducing silver and thus adding to other difcul- ‘tles tha peculinr diflieulty which tha German Government hos ad todeal with,l.e.,theredeinp- tlun of silver coln atita nominal valuc—say i1 penceper nunce—on the chance of being able to sell it at 56 gmce or sune ather prlce, There- fore if the Bland bill passcs you will bave the Greenbackers reinforeed by the great majority of the gold-standard wmen, and thero will ba arrayed on tho othier skde tho comparatively few nersona who are In fuvor of resuming specie pay- wenta {n slver, 1 say the comparatively lew reons, beeause, when the Bland biil becomes a uw, and tho whole subject of resumption ls agaln thrown open to dlspute, and when fo becomes cloar tnat specle resumption means the purchuse of » '1"““ quuntity of siiver bulllon to perforsn dutles which are quitens woll perforined by the exlsting greenbacke, If not better, I have noldea that any conslder- able nuniber of the present sllver advocates will be tn fuvor of making the necessary oxpendi- ture to bring sbonut avtual resumption. What, then, will bo tho situation ot things? Wao shall have passed o law declaring the green- backs redecmable lo silver. I it supposed that they will be worth any more than silver] Wil the prointse to an be worth any mora than the thing promisedf Certainly uot, It will prob- ably bo worth something fess. The greenbucks wik probably then bo worth os much less than silvor as they aca uow worth lees than gold, but I will not o into decimal fractions for the purpose of ostimating the exact decline, I con- tent mysoll with afjrming thai the cnact- ment ol the Bland bill willcause tho greonbac] to deellue in value. But it will not cuuse any more greenbacks to exist than now exist, Nor wiil it ouablo anybady, who now experionces difliculty jo getilng groenbacks, to got them casier. ~ They will purchase Jess pork and molasses than before, but they will bo no plentier, ~Undoubtedly there will bo a push made i Couigress to Increase the quautity just 08 80011 a8 {t 48 discovered that the passage of the Blaud bill has not caused legal-tender Lo drop from the clouds.
