THE INFLATIONISTS TRIUMPH
INTHE SENATE.

ly that vote is for imitation. 1t was CIV
en- out early in the day that the infia-
ton Senators had agreed among them
selves to sit out the bill to-day. They
stood by their compact, and continued
in session until Z o'clock this evening,
when the final vote was taken and the
bill passed by vote of 20 yeas to "A
nays-a majority of only 5. This ma
,ority would have been reduced had all
of the Senators been present or properly
paired, but even in that event the result
would not have been changed.
THE PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.
The bill which passed provides for the
issue of four hundred millions of legal
tender notes, eighteen millions in excess
of the present issue, and also for an IN
crease of forty-six millions additional
national bank notes. The entire increase
over the amount of circulation before the
panic is now ninety-six millions. The
whole amount authorized by the bill is
eight hundred millions, which IS about
fifty millions less than the total amount
demanded by the most radical OF the In
fatlonists at the beginning of the finance
debate this session. There are besides
ffty millions of fractional currency.
There are no provisions in the bill for
any compulsory redemption Of notes in
coin or for any return to specie payments.
The sane majority Of five maintained
themselves without wavering from the
beginning of the long session until its
close, during all the fluctuations of the
days debate, and the manifold compli-
Gated phases which parliamentary tao
tics compelled the bill to assume. The
bill contains no provisions whatever for
ultimate coin resumption.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE
Shows that New England voted solid
against imitation. The two Connecticut
Senators, had they been present, would
also have voted against the bill, as it il
presumed would Henry Wilson had b,
