tres IN the Senate, the week opening in that
body with resumption of debate on the
| Bland bill. Senator Beck offered a substi-
tute for the amendment proposed by the Com
mittee on Finance, requiring the Secretary of
| the Treasury to purchase 100000 in silver
bullion per month and coin it into dollars,
and, if the market supply should fail, empow-
erlng any citizen possessing bullion to deposit
it for coinage. It also provides that the
standard of subsidiary coins shall be raised to
an equality with that of the dollar. In reply
to an objection by Morrill, that foreigners
