The Silver Bill.

The amendment attached by the Senate COM
mittee provides that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall purchase in the market, and cause to be
coined and issued each month 81, 900 900. and he
is permitted at his discretion to increase the
amount to 100000 monthly. The profits of the
coinage are to be yetained by the Government,
and set aside till tfe amount reaches 5000 900,
to be then used as fund for the purchase Of bull
lion. The profits would arise mainly, of course,
from the premium on greenbscks, and if it should
continue at about its present rate, four years
would be required to accumulate the Sj0OOOOO.
This, of course, is better than the Free Coinage
bill, which gave the profit to spectators. All
propositions to limit the legal-tender quality OF
silver voted down by a majority of one.
Among the propositions one to limit the le-
gal-tender quality of silver so that it should be
| exactly the same as the egal-tender quality OF
greenbscks. Other propositions related TO the
amount which was attempted to be fixed at $50
and at 500. The committee eft the bill, in this
respect As it came from the House, so that, rs 1t
| now stands, it is a bill providing Tor the coinage
aud issue of the dollar of fathers at the rate of
| 81 100000 to "a 600 900 per month, the same to
| be legal tender for all manner OF debts, public
and private, unless otherwise provided by con-
tract.
The amendment 10 the bill gives the profit of
the difference between silver and greenbacks to
the Government, as also the seniorage. SO that on
this point the bill is slightly improved from that
of the House; but the prime ipal mischief of the
bill arises from the fact that silver takes its place
with gold coin, aud If the Secretary should
choose, after the enactment of the bill, he could
use silver in paying the interest on the pubic
debt. The Government will be compelled to ac-
cept silver for Customs duties, and but for the
limitation of the amount of coinage, the Treas
ury might possibly be left in a few months with
no other means of payment. The Secretary IN
issuing the silver will doubtless find few willing
receivers OF it, and he will be compelled TO pay
il out for Government dues, and perhaps for the
salaries OF Government officers. A proposition
to the -, 900 900 of silver in redeeming green
ba ks was voted down in the comm ittee, so that
the amount Of coinage is added directly to the
currency on hand. There Will thus be caused q
direct aud constant initiation of the currency, the
effect OF which upon the price Of greenbacks and
the market value of silver hardly be estimst-
ed. The bill will seemingly find its way through
Congress, so that the President will at last have
to take upon himself the responsibility for the
measure.
