Dr. Lindermnn ON she Si1ver Ques-
tiOn-Wells' silver Bill.

WASHINGTON, May g..
DIR. LinderInan, Director of the mint,
expresses the opinion that the true poll
icy OF the United States is to adhere to
the gold standard, and, before gold re-
sumption, to put in circulation all the
subsidiary silver coins which may h.
required for the purpose OF change. Ii
countries like France, Germany. Hoi-
land, Belgium and Great Britain, which
have a large amount of silver coins on
hand, and which are suffering from
their depreciation, should call an inter
national convention to consider the
question of fixing new relations in gold
and silver coins, It would be our duty,
Linderman thinks, to join them.
The bill, introduced to-day by Rep
resentative Wells, tn provide for the is
sue of subsidiary silver coin, is AS fol-
lows: ANY owner of silver bullion
may deposit the same !. any coinage
mint, or the assay office ut New York,
and receive payment therefor in subsi.
diary silver coin at the rate Of the price
per standard ounce to be fixed and an
nounced from time to time by the Di-
reclor OF the Mint, with the approval
of the Secretary Of the Treasury; such
price to be based on the market value.
The cost of coinage shall devolve on
the seller of the bullion, AMI The profit
of seignOrage arising therefroin shall
accrue to the Government; provided,
that the total o of silver issued
under this act shall not exceed the suin
of 825, O0O, 900.
