This scheme is atl of a plece with the pronosi- tion of a full-weight dollar. Both ara based upon an adheren.e to gold as the exclusive unit of valus,—siiver belng made equivatent to, or redeemable in, gold doliars. All this amounts to nothing else than the making of silyer green- backs. 1f that be the end desired, 1t is an utter wasto of capital to put even 85 conts worth ot sliver into the dollar, when a dolisr greenback, redecmable In gold, ean be juat as well made of aper, W fiutwhy all this talk nbout redeeming sflver doliars?!

The claim fs frequently made that bankers and capitalists ara the salust guides on this silver question, because, it being their busincas to deal fn movney, they nre most likely to enter- tain sound theories in matters of finance. The tdea will at once sugaest ftsell, in reply, that the ability io “talk shop and discount notes is quite’n differcnt thing from a comprohension of the broed principles of monetary scicnce, which reach boyond tha mere detalls of banking, into every departmont. of business, and into the pockets of every laboring man and wanufac- turer, s well” ma caplialist, In tho civiltzed world. 'T'o reason on this latier basis requires ability to rise above local circumnstances; generalize from u wide range of facts,—a pecul- far talent, which is quite as likely to be found in a brain poorly adapted to makihg money as in that of a successful banker, But we can safely rest the case as to whother | bankers are the embodiment of all financial wisdom upon the citation of aslnugle fact of histury: In 1310, after the English people had suffered for fiftecn years all the ovils of gsecarcity of coin and dn irredecinable currefey, it “was woved in Parllament toat a Cummitteo be ap- pointed * to Inquirc into the Ligh price of goid bullion, and to cake Into consideration the stute of tho clreulating medium, and of the ex- changes botween Ureat Dritain and forclen parts.” The report of this Committce wus made through lts Chairman, Mr. Francis [or- ner, in August, 1810, but did not come up for discussion untll May, 1811, This paper i3 now known as the famous * Bulllon lteoort," aud for forty years las beon conaldered s the bed. r:ck :7! financial aclence on the poluts discussed therein. The more prommnent doctrines of the Report are; - 1. The valuc of an fnconyvertible currency de- pends upon ita amount relatively to the vol- umo of transactions, and vuly to o very small degree upon the recurity on which it is bused or the credit of the fasucr, 2. A premlum on gold {ndicates simply a no- oreciation of paper money, und measures that dogreciation, « 4. ‘The limit of possiblo fluctuatlons In ex- changes s tho cost of transporting bullion from one country to another.
