The House Committee on Mines has re. ported bill making silver legal tender,
 to an unlimited amount, which seemed likely at first to receive the support of all the indationists of both parties, and few hard money men. More careful consider ation, however,, shows that'it means par tiai repadiation rather than resumption.
 Silver has fallen greatly in value in com parison with gold.o late, and the silver dollar of standard weight would be worth at the present market prices of that metal only 30 cents in gold, whereas the green. back dt,llar is worth near 90 cts. Hence a ''reanmption" of the kind proposed would be 6 practical imitation of the most serious character. It would be delib. crate fraud on creditors, public and pri- vate, compelling them to take 80 per cent of the legal value of their claims. Fur thermore. it would probably lead to a still further depreciation of our currency. The production of silver has nearly doub. led during the past few years. India and OAAn" IU0H4"uor ASoS AOE lueAT coinage than formerly; Germany has been throw ing it out of circulation, and other Euro- pean nations are lnclining to follow the example of Germany. Not only, there- fore. would the adoption of the silver in stead of the gold dollar depreciate our al- ready deteriorated currency; not only would 1t drive gold ont of circulation; but 1t would substitute as standard of value metal going out of use for that purpose elsewhere, and liable to serious depreciation. We jndge from the latest
 reports that the friends of an honest cur rency at Washington will be able to de- feat this most iniquitous and mischiesous measure. at least for the present session.
