Debate on the silver Bill.

silver Dill to-day, Sargent SAID Inc traue
was at a greater discount in Cal
than the ordinary subsidiary
silver coin. The trade dollar was
orth but ninety cents, while subsid-
larry silver coin was ninety four and
ninety Ave cents. There was a general
protest in his section against these
trade dollars.
Sherman said he thought $40, 900 900
in silve coin should be issued instead
of $40. O00. 900, though he did not wish
to endanger the passage OF that bill by
Offering that amendment, If it would
cause debate, but If the Senate should
unanimously pass such an amendment
he had no donbt the House would
agree to It. He then submitted an
amendment to strike u $4,000 900
and insert in lieu thereof $40. OOO. 900.
Sargent objected and Sherman with
drew his amendment. In doing so he
had no doubt that the Senator from
California would regret having made
The objection as in his (S~herHan's)
opinion there would be a want of
change in the country before the next
session Of Congress, and it would be a
mistake for Congress to adjourn the
session without providing for the de-
mand for small change. Sargent said
ii the amount was increased 10 twenty
millions the result would be that an
enormous quantity of silver would be
sent to the Pacific coast and drown out
other currency.
Morton said he would not oppose
the bill but he had gravs doubts about
the propriety OF it. Silver was worth
only ninety four cents on the dollar
and the bill looked like saying TO the
world: sour greenhacks are worth
only eighty four cents and we are go
ing to redeem them with silver"
