THE GOLD BILL.

The Bill introduced into the Senat'
By Mr.. Linn of Humboldt, a copy o
which we published q few days since
has passed the Senate with some Sigh
amendments. We feel assured that il
will also pass the Assembly and becom,
law
Ills we'll known that the APPEAL ap.
piauded the Supreme Court decision BY
which the Specific Contract Act wa.
decided UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and tha
through our columns there appeared
from time to time arguments favorine
tho placing of the State upon green
back basis. Having thus been commit
ted in favor of the Act of the LegisIa-
ture under which the revenue system
was changed from a coin to a currency
basis, the spirit of candor demands that
we should admit the truth as evolved
from the experiment of making that
change. We are forced to admit that
We believe that experiment to have been
a failure, for the f,liowing reasons:
In the 6rst place, the popular circula-
ting medium in use here is coin THIS
makes greenbocks commodity-noth-
ing more norless. Nevada is peculiarly
situated. She has debt to pay of some
hundreds Of thousands of dollars in
gold coin. 1t would be the rankest
reputation for her to liquida,e that
debt in acy other way than by the pay
ment of gold and silver. So far as any
payments have been made, they hare
been made i'll coin. II has been neces
sary, in order to obtain that coin for the
State Treasurer to sell greenbucks ss
best be could. OF course he has also
disposed of the gold that came into his
possession upon as good terms as posi-
bic TIE Controllers books go to
show that there has accrued 10 the |
State some 81 all profit from these |
gold sales By the Treasurer aud, per |
contra, that his sales Of greeubacks have |
caused very heavy loss to the State. |
The astounding fact is, that the actual |
loss to the State by tue conversion of
currency into coin, in the two past |
wears, amounts, 10 the aggregate, to
sos, 529 06 more than half enough TO
build a State House, 1t would seem
from this that a wise public policy
