constitutional duty ami require

existingnt the time, than it was a
needed measure for tfte vest ora

the promotion of national harmo
ny. The withdrawal of the
troops from such employment
was effected diligently and with
solicitous care for the peace and
good order of society, and the
protection of the property, and
every right, of all elasscs of eiti

encouraging. All apprehension
of danger from remitting those
states to local self-government is
dispelled, and a most salutorv

the country, once the seat of un
happy civil strife -substituting
for suspicion, distrust and aver

No unprejudiced mind will deny
that the fatal collision*, which

to a brief and definite statement j
ofcertafb essentia! feature*} in
any *ueh legislative measitres
which 1 feel it my duty to yec |
oniihetld. Ido not propose to
enter thed.u‘j)ate, represeVtied on ;
both sinus I*K such aide dispu
tanls in foiigrcss and before the)'
peoplemnd in the pres*, as to the
exfent which the legislature oft
anyone nation.can eohtfol this
question,evou within its owji Ixyr
iters, against the laws of trade or
the positive of other gov
ernments. The wisdom of con
gross in shaping any particular
law that may l>e presented for my
approval may wholly supercede
the necessity of my entering into j
its consideration, and I am willing j
to avoid either vague or intricate |
inquiries. It is only certain, j
plain and practical traits of such ;
legislation that 1 desire to reeom j
mend to your attention. In any |
legislation providing fora silver
coinage, regulating its value and I
imparting to it the quality of le- j
galteniler, it seems to me of;
great importance that congress 1
should not lose sight of its action,
in operating in a two fold capaei-}
ty and in two distinct directions. :
If the United States government
were free from a public debt, its:
legislative dealing with the ques j
t ion of silver coinage would be j
purely sovereign and govern
mental under no restraints but
those of constitutional power and
the public good as alfected b\ the
proposed legislation; hut in the
actual circumstances of the na
tion. with a vast public debt dis
tributed very widely among our
own citizens and held to*a gfeat
extent also abroad,' the nature of
the silver coinage measures, as,
affecting the relation of this gov-!
eminent to the holders* of thei
public debt, becomes a matter in
any proposed legislation, of the
highest concern.
£he obligation of the public
faith transcends all questions of
! profit or public advantage. ‘Oth
erwise its unquestionable main
! tenaneeis the dictate, as well of
the highest expediency, a* of the
most necessary iltify, and will be
! carefully guarded by congress
and the people alike. The public
debt of the United States the
amount of )j-' bears iu
terest at tlit* rate of |i per cent;
| *7<5,00©,Q00, at oj| j>er
cent, and the only w in' jraich
the country can lie relieved from
| the payment of these high rates
of interest'is by advantageously
j refunding jhe indebtedness.—
Whether the debt is ultimately
paid in gold or in silver coin is of
' but little moment compared with
j the possible reduction of the in
terest one-third by refunding it
at such reduced rates. If the
United States had the unques
| lionai.de right to pay its bonds in
silver coin, the little benefit from
I hat process would be greatly
overbalanced by the injurious ef
• feel of such paymetg., if made or
proposed against the honest con
| yictions of jmlilic credit. All
the bonds that have been issued
since February Ii; 1873. when
gold became thi 1 only unlimited
legal tender mfidalie 'Currency of
Ahe country, are .justly payable
iil girjll cr in coil' ofequal value.

al debt to an amount not exceed
ing s2o.ooo,QQjLper annum, and ef
fect an aggregate saving to the
United States ofmorethaulSOO,-
000,000 before the bonds can he

silver coinage to the ordinary i
uses of the currency in the every
day transactions of life and tire
serving the quality of the legal
tender power to be assigned to it,
a consideration of the first im
portance should he to so ah, just
the ratio between the silver and
gold coinage which now consti
tutes our specie currency, as to
accomplish the desired end of
maintaining the circulation of
the two metalic currencies anil
keeping up the volume of,the two
precious metals as our intrinsic
money. It is a mixed question
for scientific reasoning anil his
torieal experience to determine
how far. and by what methods,
a practical equilibrium can be
maintained which will keep both
metals in circulation and in then
appropriate spheres ol’ common
use. An absolute equality of
commercial value, free from dis
turhing fluctuations is hardly at
tainable. anil without it an tin
limite<l'.Je#tA*fywlef tor private
tm'nsacjgjoai assigned to both
metvHs would tend to drive out
of iijfcutntuMi Urn dearest cwna-gd
at id ills Tj I fulfil t tjfc* principal ob
ject proposed ny tin* legislation
in view. I apprehend, therefore,
that the two conditions of a near
approach to ttit* equality ot the
commercial value between the
gold and silver coinage of the
same denominations, and of a
limitation of the amount for
which the silver coinage is to be
a legal tender, are ,*sential to
maintaining both ni circulation.
It' ilie'C condition' j an’
; cessfully achieved, the issue from
j the mint of silver dollars would
; afford material assistance to the
j eqjjgmiunity in the transition to
paper money and
I would lacilitale the resumption
: of specie payment and it* perma-
I nent establishment. Without
' these conditions, 1 fear that only
mischief and misfortune would
i follow from a coinage ot silver
i dollars with the quality of unlim
ited lagal tender. Even in -pri
vate transactions, any expecta
! tion of temporary ease from an
' issue of silver coinage to pass as
a legal tender at a rate material
ly above its commercial value, is.
I 1 am persuaded, a delusion, nor
, can f think that there is any sub
stantial .distinction between an
j original issue of silver dollars at
i a nominal value materially above
| their commercial value, and the
i restoration of the silver dollar
| at a rale which once was but has
ceased to be its commercial val
ue.'. Certainly the issue of onr
gol<l coinage, reduced in weight
materially below-it* legal tender
value,'would not be any the le%s
present dehasejnent of the
coinage by reason of it* equaling
,or even exceeding in weight a

time had been commercially .e
