MR. GROESB BfK'S , VIEW.
; The paper of Hon. Wro. S. Groes
beck on the reoionttizatiou of silvier,
read before the Bankers' Convention
that met in New York some weeks
since, was not only one of unusual
ability, but of permanent interest.
He is the strong advocate of gold and
silver as a legal tender, for they are
realities just like wheat aud corn.
Hence, he did not favor the green
back theory as a legal tender in time
of peace. The paper has attracted
universal attention, aud has greatly
increased both the number and en
thusiasm ' of the advocates of silver
remonetization. His leading opin
ions are thus epitomized by himself
at the close of his discussion:
"We are told that we should have cold.
that we may be in commercial accord with
Europe. It is well' , Let us for the same
reason have silver also, that we may be in
accora with Asia and other nations. So
we will be in accord with all, and that
will be better. Great nations do not try to
help each other or look alone to their com
merce with each other for prosperity. They
are rivals, rather; and contend for the com
merce' of the weaker and more necessitous
nations. : The commerce of Europe, t we
appreciate it; the commerce of silver-loving
Asia, with her 800,000,000 of i thifty
and industrious- people,-let us appreciate
that also. !-. ":-iU--..-,iKiA.-..-i r '
"It is difficult to overestimate it. ' It was
this which enriched Alexandria . and the
cities of the Mediterranean in their day';
it was for this that Portugal sought a pas
sage by sea, andr having .fonnd it, was en
riched as never before or since.' t It is this
that at the present day swells the wealth of
Holland; France,' and other 'European na
tiODSWhat were England without It t It
is for this mainly that Russia w now wading
in blood toward Constantinople; it was in
search of a shorter passage to this com
merce that America was, found -found lor

With gold for some, silver for others; and
