Though the recommendations made by the president are not likely to be adopted by congress, the people should become thoroughly conversant with all points raised against silver as a circulating medium, compare them with the effect Iof its use upon our various industries, 'note whether its tendency is, as claimed, to drive gold from the country and superceed it, thus enabling them to properly judge as to the advisability of continuing or discontinuaing its coinage and circulation for the liquidation of public and lirivate debts. This queca tioin bids fare to become a matter for the people to determine by their right of suffrage. To judge intelligently the strongest arguments against silver should be carefully compared with the practical results of its present coinage and circulation,and as the president sets furth every known reason against it, the 'ºublication of his views, for future reference and mcompmurison by our read ers, is important.
