The silver people think they have q
pretty sure thing OF it in both Houses,
and yet they aro probably mistaken.
There aro good many silver men, but
they are of many minds. Some OF tho
most eccentric would vote with Senator
Jones to make it unlimited legal len
der and have it coined at the mint like
gold. Others. however, are vehement
ly opposed to this as extremely Impoli-
tic and dangerous Gs we'll rs dishonest,
but tbey wonld agree to me..sure
such as Secretary Sherman IS believed
to favor, recalling all legal tender notes
under five dollars and issuing silver
dollars in their stead, n:aliing these
dollars legal tender up to ten and per-
haps twenty dollars and receivable for
public dues mp to That amount. De-
tween thesi to kinds OF Silver men
there is irrecoucileable difference.
