The full text OF tho bill reported by tho Sem
ate Finance Committoo, as substitute tor the
House Currency bill, ia published this morning.
Il differs from tho bill as frat drafted to which
reference waa made in these columns yesterday.
in that it places no limit upon tho increase OF
National Banking circulation. Tie provision
for tlo retirement OF logal-tenders in proportion
to tile lssuo Of bank currency remains unchang-
cd. The section in relation to tho resumption
Of specie payments on Jun. !, 1877. ooutemplates
the redemption Of logal-tenders by the issue OF
bonds, rodeemable in coin after ten years
At the ploass're. OF the United states.
Tho legaltenders. after redemption, may be is-
sued by tho Secretary Of tile Treasury In pay
mont Of bonds, for the liquidation of.the Nation
al dobt, or to meet the current expenses Of tho
Government. This part OF tho bill will certainly
bo strenuouslY opposed by tho intiatlonints III
and out of Congress-, Senator Forry, Of Alichi-
igan. aud Senator Wright. Of Iowa, hare alroady
declared their unqualified dlsapproval OF it,
and they will hnve q large following from
the rank and file Of the pnper-money party. Tho
bill as whole aurrendors everything for which
tho inlationistH have fought, and embodies,
without substantial alteration, the suggostions
made in President Grants voto message. It
will not pasB the Senate unaltered without q
stubborn and prolonged contest. The bill re-
ported by Senator Sherman from the Finance
Committee, early in tie session, waB torn in
pieces and rebuilt, and tho now bill will, 1t ID
likely, be subjected to similar treatment.

for butter. the least attempt on the part Of mer-
chants or dairymen to aduterate butter with any

OF the injury to trade that would follow any at

must be condemned by the Butter and Cheese
