SILVER As LEGA1-TEHnER IN ILLINOIS.
It is a matter Of considerable Significance
that tho Illinois Senate has passed a bill, nl-
most unanimously, Which only nseds' tho
concurrence Of the House to become law.
declaring tllat oil tho United States silver
coins Of nil denominations shall BE- legal
tender in payment Of MI debts, public aud
private. II this bill become law, then oil
dobts contracted nfter the lat Of july ne1t
and between citizens Of illinois mny bo dir
charged by the tender Of United States
fractional silver coin without reference to
the S5 limitation OF tho present United
Statea law. The bill, Of course, cannot al
feet contracts made prior to the dato whom
tho Inv shall 60 in operation, nor can 1t DO
enforced AZ against citizens living In other
States where there is no suoh law, and whezs
the limitation Of tho United States law will
apply.
Just how much influence such Inv would
havo on tho silver circulation In Illinois
would necessarily depend on tho circun,-
stances that regulate the amount Of silver
coined and ita relative valuaaa compazsdwit1..
tho legal-tendcr Of the whole country. As
tho United States law now stands, thero Ia
no provision for tho coinage Of tho silver
dollar, tho "t1ado dollar" ia only minted for
California md expectation to China md
Japan, and tho amount Of subsidiary silver
coin ia limited 10 $50, 600, 600. This amount
Ia not moro than ia necessary for the supply
OF small change to the nation, SO 1t is not
likely that amy dispropoFtiouately large part
OF It would be attracted To this State, cyen
though silver should remain nolninallY at a
lower yalus than grceubacks. While it would
