Jones expressed the opinion
that with silver demonetized
specie resumption would be i'm
possible. He says that il Mr.. Sherman
could possibly resume, it would be only
temporary, and the result would be
great suffering and a return finally to
the issuing Of paper money. Senator
Jones favors the passage OF bill to de-
clare the old silver dollar legal tender
for all debts, public and private, and
directing that upon any person bring
ing silver plate, bars or bullion to the
mints, it Shall be the duty of Gov
eminent to coin it, charging only
such seigniorage as may be neces-
sary to cover the expense. Another pro-
vision OF the bill would be to provide
that, upon any person depositing in the
mints a silver bar Of given weight and
fneness, it shall be the duty of the Gov
ernment to give the party so depositing
certificate Of such deposit. This cor
responds to the gold notes, the principle
being the same. The Senator's views
in respect to the four per cent. bonds
is that they will be payable in gold
or silver coin at the option Of
the Government, and that the
opinion OF the Secretary of the Treasury
on the subject is entitled to no more
binding weight than that of any other
individual. The argument of the Secre.
tary is that because the payment tor
these pei cent. bonds is made in gold,
or purports to be made in gold, there
fore the Government will be bound to
pay the same thing. This would make
it right to pay the outstanding five
twenty bonds in legal tenders, those
bonds having been exchanged for legal
tenders.
REMOVAL OF FUSEL OIL.
The question of permitting the with
drawa' of tusel oil, which has been un-
der consideration for some weeks, was
finally decided yesterday by the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue, who has
issued circular authorizing the re-
moval OF fuseI oil from distillery prem
ises i'll quantities less than two hundred d
gallons. 1t requires the fusel oil to be
first purified by washing i'll a tank. 1t
must also be inspected bot Collector
or Deputy Collector, and tested by
washing in a glass tube containing three
parts of water to one of fuse ell oil. Should
the water not take up more than
ten per cent. OF fusel oil, the
oil will be considered merchant
able and may be Withdrawn.
