upon what grounds the Treasury
aote* of 1890 were redeemed in gofci.
The President* message hat clearer!
*p this myatety by the fbikiwing:
“The law provides that the pay-
ment for the 4,500,000 of silver bull-
ion which the Secretary of the Treas-
ury is commanded to purchase month-
ly there shall be sailed Treasury notea
redeemable on demand in gold or sil-
ver coin, at the discretion of the Sec-
retary of the Treasury, and ihM said
aotes may be reiseaed. It is, how.
ever, declared in the act to be “the
i established policy of the United States
to maintain the two metals on a parity
with each other upon the present legal
ratio or such ratio as may be provided
by law.'* This declaration so coo
trols the action of the Secretary of the
Treasury as to prevent bis exercising
the discretion nominally vested in biro,
if by such action the parity between
gold aud silver may he disturbed.
Manifestly a refusal by tho Secratarv
to pay these Treasury notes in gold,
if demanded would necessarily result
in their discredit and depreciation as
obligations payable only in silver, and
would destroy the parity between the
two metals by establishing a discrimi-
nation in favor of gold.
Here we find a President and his
Secretary shielding themselves behind
a mere declaration contained in an act
which at the time of its passage was
denounced as political buncombe and
