SHER,rAN,sIAsr BILL.


Tie public have already been apprised
OF the features Of Senator Sherman's last
financial measure, he, as chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, having intro
duced oneinD December which had notmerit
enough to bring itself to a test vote. The
second is but a modification of the first
without essential difference, being indeed,
in some respects, more objectionable
than the first though it is artfully drawn
to avoid the real question Of the eurren-
cy complication.
The Chicago Times says of it:
It is not probable that Mr.. Shermans
bill will pass The majority in Congress
will not dare TO pass any bill the present
session, providing for the conversion of the
non-interest bearing debt of the nation
into an interest bearing debt. The policy
Of Secretary McCulloch in this has been
generally and too severely condemned.
The number who are daily leaving the
Republican ranks because Of the adherence
of the party to the demand that the five
twenty bonds shall he paid in gold, are
alarming the Radical members from the
Western States, and it is not probable that
/ Mr.. Sherman wishes his bill to pass. The
sentiment expressed in the election Of Mr..
Beatty from the eighth Congressional dis
| trict of Ohio must have convinced Senator
| Sherman that he cannot succeed as politi-
clan in that State on any such issue az he
presents in that bill. He has, probably,
introduced it merely for the purpose Of sat
isfying the demands of bondholders.
They are frightened by the movement
Of the people in favor of paying the debt
according to its terms. If they cannot get
bill passed providing for the payment of
the principal of the fve-twenties in gold,
they will seek to obtain from Congress, by
resolution or otherwise something which
will pledge the government to such pay
ment. The resolution of Senator Edmunds,
of Vermont introduced in the Senate a
day or two after the commencement Of the
session, was the first movement Of the
bondholders TO obtain such pledge. The
Radical Senators, although protesting to
believe in the correctness of the statement
in the resolution--that the principal Of the
five twenties is payable in gold-have let
4 IL diont scNeTtiy. 1ncy tOuCtuueu tudt IL
was not prudent to brave the public feel
ing against such action.
Whatever may be the diversity of opin-
ion concerning the policy of increasing the
volume ofcurrency, the taxpayers of the
| country, in the Eastern as we'll as the
Western States, are very generally convinced
that the bonds made payable in "lawful
money" should be redeemed in treasury
notes, and that the national banks should
be rooted ont and greenbacks substituted
for their circulation.
