to adopt a fixed rate of exchange it was con- sidered that a dollar at the rate of 25 4d in the sovereign would effectually safeguard the Treasury and induce confidence in trade by the absence of speculators in silver, Since the adoption of the fixed rate, however, a variety of circumstances arose which: led to the steady appreciation of silver, and it is by no means clear that we are yet with in measurable distance of the ultimate value which silver will reach. Indeed, it seemed plain that unless immediate steps were taken to diminish the intrinsic value of the dollar there was a possibility that the Govern ment would find itself in the absurd and financially ruinous position of selling silver in the form of dollars at less than its actual value.
