TOW IT SIOULD BR CONSTRUED—SILVER BULLION TO DE PURCHASED WITH SILVER DOLLARS—THE NEW COIN NOT 7o um HOARUED—CONSPIRACT OF WALL _STREKT BHYLOCKA TO DEPRESS UNITED STATES BGNDY IN ORDER TO INVEST IN THEN. From Our Oten Correrpondent, Wasiixeroy, D.C., March 5.—There s a great futerest manifested to know what the policy of the Becretary of the Treasury tnay by as to the Silver law, and In what manncr he proposes to construe it. The views of a leading altvar wan, who Is as much responstole for the law as anybody, as to the proper construction of the act can b learned frowm tho following Inter- view: TIE COIN CERTIPICATES, 41t Is said that the Secretary of the Treasury has directed that the coin certificates author- tzed by the Silver law be made payable ouly at the place where the silver cofn fs deposited. Doces that scem to you to be a proper construce tion of the lawi’? ** Tho Bocretary of the Treasury has provided that the silver coln certificates shall only be payable at the place of Issue. This, however, will not materially affect thelr value, as theso certiicates are avallable for the paywment of duties the samoe as coin, and therefore they will naturally tend towards New York City, whero tbo bulkof the fmport dutics is pald. Thia will relieve the Treasury . Department from tho necessity of transportiog large amounta of bulllon at Government cxpense from point to point us necessity may require. If resumption takes place, silver coln and siiver certificates will be on a par with gold coin and gold certifi- cates, because they are availablo for the same purposcs. For this reason, it is argued by some that, aa soon zs o suflicient amount of silver is colued to provide for all debts on imports, then the gold wil go out of the country, oud the Treasury Depsrtment and peo- ple will bLe upon o sllver basis with regard to dutles, and the Intercst on the public debt. This probably would be true. If thers was to be no specle resumption. In that event, a smaller amount of coln comparatively would e necessary for duties and luterest. But, 1f the Resumptlon act s kept In view, 1t will re- quire not only all the siiver that can be colned under this blil for thres or four years, but also all the gold In tho country, and a considerublo addition to the total quantity of gold which may be drawn from our mincs in order to make resumption practicable. Therelore, it wo are to resune, gold will not go out of tho country. Tut, if the Resumption act isto berepealed, and We ure to coutinuc irredeemable paper currency, henas soon us tho sliver Is cotned fu sutllciens quaatities to provide for the anllnn? uscs, viz.3 duties and interest on the nublle dett, gold would disappesr, as would also all tho sil- ver coliied, ¢xeept so much as is necessary for the payment of duties and foterest.” * What s your oplnlon as to the placlog of the new sltver dollars in tho coln reserve aud hoarding ie1” THE COIN REIERVE. “Tho Becretary of the Treusury may bave to put {t there.
