THE SPECIE PAYMENT BILL IN THE
N33f y SENATE.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times sends that paper the folio wing in re-
lstion to the fnsoce bill in the Senate under date
of the 22nd. The bill to provide for the resump-
ton Of specie payments was passed in the Senate
this evening, abont o'clock. Beyond the
speech of Mr.. Sherman, explanatory of its provis-
ions, the debate was uninteresting, and Of dis
cursive character, and not directed to discussion
Of the merits Of the bill. Mr.. Shermsn's speech,
though brief, was clear and strong, and received
the attsntion it deserved. OF thirty-two Senators
Who voted for the bill all were Republicans ex.
ccpt Mr.. Salisbury, of Delaware, and Mr.. schurz
Liberal. Among the fourteen voting in the mega.
tive was bat one Republiean-Mr. spaguc, Of
Rhode Island. Hamilton, OF Maryland, made a
speech in which he said several times he would
chssrially vote for the bill. lie said, almost in
sAe axe bssstls that b would vote for it with
great reluctance and be finally decided not to vote
Il Ill. Mr.. Bsysrd was very angry because the
Rspuh1iseas wore determined y pass the bill be-
fore recess, and declared he would not vote either
for or against it, because he considered the sub
ject ~ been "unworthily treated" Mr.. Schurz
wanted time to consider the BILL bat would vote
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1874-12-25

for il because it contained the pledge to resume
specie payments, and he believed that Congress,
having become committed to resumption, would
have to take measures to carry out the pledge.
The Democratic side of the Senate was apparently
much embarrassed and even perplcxed to decide
what course to take. The vulnerable point Of the
bill and its most exposed point of attack was its
failure to provide for the destruction of the re-
deemed legal tenders and the fractional currency.
This point therefore assailedby all the hard-money
Democrats, and by Mr.. Schurz. Mr. Sherman
took the ground that under the operation OF the
bill there could arise question as to reissung the
redeemed currency for at least three or four years
to come and there was no need to legislae on that
point now Because he refused to express his own
oppiniou as to whether the bill would permit
the Secretary of the Treasury TO reissue, ~
his discretion, the redeemed currency, the Demo-
Gratis assumed that it would be so construed, ana
Mr.. Bayard called it double-faced and juggling
measure Mr.. Stevenson said it was a bill SO con-
triyed that the inatonists would claim 1t as their
measure and the resumptionist as theirs lie faiied
to give his opinion of the effect In respect TO IN
iation. Al the infiationists among the D1 ar
Gratis, notably such rank and furious ones as Bogy
and Merrimon, voted against the bill, showing
they had no belief that it would EXPAND the cur
rency by reissue of the amount redeemed or otn,
erwise. SO far as any pohcy relatlng 10 the o.ii
wa s developed on the Democratic 'side 1t was 10
seek delay, and Mr.. Bayard said there was no need
Of haste in passing Finance bill before the recess
The country would not suffer by delay. There is
no such double purpose in the bill as MIR. Steven
son charged. No one knows better that the Dill
means what its title processes than do those Re-
publicans voting for it who were known as inia-
tionists There is some pride of opinion on the
part of men who have been compelled by their
own judgement to abandon positions held year
loudly wide departure from views recently en-
tertained, even if they acknowledged such de-
parture to themselves. That the bill should rec
ognize such facts and conditions was necessity,
but having grown out Of an earnest, honest at
tempt to reconcile and harmonic differences like
the product of all such successful efforts it has
grown in favour with all who participated in the
party conferences, and it receives hearty seaport
from Republicans, and not least Of al iron those
who made in its behalf of the greatest sacrifices of
per sonal preferences.

The New York Times is more pleased
with the finance bill than at first. 1t says !:
ut is even more favorable to the accom-
plishment Of resumption than we were
led to suppose from the abstract which we
had previously received. The substitu-
ton of silver for the fractional currency is
imperative, and will commence immedi-
ately on the passage Of the bill. The Sec
Rotary of the Treasury is authorized to Sc
cure, by loans, the amount Of coin neces-
sary 10 redeem the Government notes in
1879, and we understand the law to leave
1t to the discretion of the Secretary when
to commence this operation. If, however,
the law should not, on discussion, appear
to bear this Interpretation, we have no
doubt that Congress will pass some meas
ure that will guard the Treasury in time.
1t is to be noted also that the redemption
Of greenbacks, as national bank notes are
issued. is made imperative down to the
limit Of $500. 600. 900. but is not necessari-
" suspended at that point. Even if it
were. we have already pointed out the
reasons why the change in the relative
volume Of greenbacks and bank notes is
likely to hasten the restoration of specie
basis. We notice, by the way. that the
Democratic organs have not yet discov-
cred the necessity of discussing this meas
ure at although its provisions have been
known for several days. Perhaps. like
Mr.. Cox. they are trying to argue them
selves into the belief that nothing will
come OF it. We hope that they will be
mistaken"

The New York Economist sees u rift in
the cloud that has been overhanging the
business of the country. 1t says that the
three months contraction of production
agreed upon by the cotton and wooden
manufacturers will expire on the LIST OF
January, and information from the lead
ing manufacturing centres shows that the
mills are al preparing to start in full OPP
GRAFTON At that time, as stocks in all the
large wholesale centres are now very
low. In the iron trade similar favorable
indications are also apparent. 1t says that
capital is also abundant and raw materials
and labor cheap. At the present time
heavy amounts Of money are lying idle.
and there is no probability that capitalists
win ever obtain a more favorable time Tor
It's investment. During the three weeks
from the first of January next total Of
not less than $3.50. 0OO, 900 will be distrib-
uted in dividends on government, railroad
and other securities in New York alone.
Ifother business centres are included the
aggregate will be largely increased. and
will reach total of hundreds of millions.
OF course much Of this money is only
available for what is called income &C
count, but still there will remain consid-
cradle balances for investment and specu-
lation. and much of it will 90 into repro
ductive industries where it will be more
directly under the control of the invest
ors. The Economist therefore looks for
decided improvement in business on or
after the LIST of January.
