ommend several very simportsatt modfi-
cations Of the House Silver Currency
bill. The latter bill mnde silverS coin
of tho denomination Of one dollar legal
tender for amounts mp to $780, ind all
subsidiary silver coin for any amount
up to $25. The Senate Committee
propose to strike out thisE section, 4 and
to substitute another providing ,foff tho
coming Of q new silver dollar, 70 lie q
legal tender to, the amount Of $50 In
any one payment; Except for customs
dues and interest on the; public, debt"

Of the amended bill. as recommended
BY tho Senate, COMMITTEES. is that which
authorizes thd SECRETARY Of tbe Treasury
to exchange the, new silver dollar, for
United States notes, dollar for, dollar
(the notes so redeemed 70 bo withdrawn
and cancelled, md NOT TO. be. replaced
bJ other notes), md to apply The coin
thus received to tho purchase Of silver
bullion Mt its market value, . H'-y
Some other fontures Of the Bill; which
must not be overlooked In tho attempt
TO estimate how it will probably work
in case it should become d law, are

them. nnd can thus regulate tho sup
ply; that tho trnde dollar will contain
several cents moro J, than the new
American dollar, but will not be q ieRnl
tender for any amount Whatoyer.
