SENATORS JONES' SILVER BILL

A bill for the RECOMMENDATION of silver
has been introduced in the Senate by
John P. Jones of Nevada. 1t provides
for the coinage of silver dollars of the
weight of 4l2H grains troy, at any
coinage mint. and that no charge shall
be made for coming standard bullion
into these dollars. 1t also provides
that these coins shall be legal tender
for all sums, in payment of all public
or private debts, excepting such as un-
der existing contracts are otherwise
payable. The full text of the bill has
not been telegraphed, but the COM
ments of the New York Times OPP
posing i: have been sent all over the
country by the associated press. Capt.
talists all over the country are against
the bill. They do not want the Gov
eminent bonds, purchased at about
one-third their par value in coin, and
bearing interest, which since the de-
monetization of silver in 1873, has been
paid in gold, redeemed in silver coin at
the option of the Government, as the
law of 1869 provided, consequently the
passage of the bill by the Senate is ex-
tremely doubtful.
