The New York Bulletin discours-
es thus about the silver dollar bill:
The Washington silver mania has not
exhausted itself in the successful effort to
get out $45, 000,00 Of silver in placo Of the
fractional currency. The Bonanzaists have
persuaded the Senate Finance Committee
into favoring bill for the substitution Of
the one dollar legal tenders by silver dollars.
Think Of its magical effect on the silver
market! If tho passage Of the Bonanza
bill last week produced such an effect on
the London silver market. what would be
the influence Of the adoption Of this second
bill. TO tho Bonanza interest it would be
worth probably q, 100000 to $3,000,00o a
year in the increased value Of their future
product of silver.
To tho people, it is the displacement of q
cheap and convenient currency for one that
is costly and ineonvenient. The silver costs
tho people five per cent. on the bonds issued
for it, purchase, and at least seven per cent.
more through converting into mere tool
Of exchanges that which would have been
exchanged for 80 much reproductive capital.
| At this rate, the country loses "a, 8OO,OOO
year on $4,000, 900 represented by bonds
issued to purchase silver for taking up the
| fractional notes, and would lose $3,O0O.OOO
per snnum more through the issue of bonds
| for the proposed retiring of the one dollar
legal tenders. Nov, whom it comes to mat

The Indiana democrats have
nominated James D. Williams, of
Knox county, for their gubernatorial
candidate, and declare Hon. Thos.
A. Hendricks to be their first choice
for presidential candidate. Their
platform includes the following re-
solutions on the currency question
Fifth-We oppose the contraction of the
volume of our paper currency, and declare
in favor OF the adoption of measures looking
to the gradu Il retirement Of the circuiatio 4
Of national banks and the substitution there
for Of circulating notes, issued by authority
Of the government.
Sixth-We recognize With patriotic salts
faction the vast recuperat;ye energies with
which our country is endowed, and We ob-
serve that in spite Of the interference with
the laws Of commerce which has been prac-
ticed, our currency has improved in proper
ton as our wealth has increased. and the
sense Of national and local security has bee q
confirmed. We are therefore Of the opinion
that natural return to specie payment will
be promoted by the increase of national
wealth and industries, by the assurance 0!
harmony at home and peace abroad, and by
rengthering our public credit under wise
and economical! administration of our ma
tional affairs.
Seventh-That legal tender notes consti
tute safe currency aud one especially VAL
liable to the debtor classes becaure of it's Ie-
gal tender quality, and We demand the re
peal oflegislation enacted by the republican
party providing tor its withdrawal from cir.
culatiou, and the substitution therefor 0!

reaved and socrowing family our heart
felt sympathy.
kesolved, That copy Of these resolu-

Minnesota, working at carpentering at
Wacouta for about a year, when he To-
Gated at Belvidere, where he has since
resided. He was charter member of
Belvidere Grange, and held the Office of
Steward at the time Of his death. He
leaves a wife and six children and a
large circle Of friends to mourn his loss.

Some time ago congress passed
a bill, almost unanimously, reducing
the Presidents salary to the old
amount, $4,000, and President
Grant vetoed it. While we believe
that amount to be sufficient for the
salary we cannot blame Mr.. Grant
for refusing to approve it. He is
now in the last year Of his admins
tration and the bill would not affect
HIM but would operate against his
successor. After having accepted
the larger salary for several years it
would be exceeding bad taste for
him now to be instrumental in pass
ing a law which would debar his sue
cessor from enjoying the same libe-
rality. If congress did not pass the
bill simply as an act of demagogism,
1t will now adoptit by two-ti,irds
vote and relieve Mr.. Grant of the
embarrassment of having any re-
sponslbility for it, but inasnuch as
the reduction can be and is effected
by the clause in the general appro-
priation bill, the necessity for this
special act is not imperative.
