1t is noticeable that the Senate bill
to receive greenbacks at par for the per
cent, bond at once, and for duties after
Oct lst., was defeated in the House
through the efforts of Ewing and other
prominent greenbackers. All the Maine
delegation voted for the bill Considering
that the greenbaek leaders have made
u great fuss because the government
did not receive greenbacks for duties and
bonds, this action Of their leaders in Con-
gress clearly shows that they themselves
confess ii would have no influence in
maintaining greenbacks at par with gold,
and didn't care to have it demonstrated
by trial. Some good, however, will re-
suit in the Senate's action on this ques.
ton and that Of the reduction of green
backs, inasmuch as it takes away all the
side issues of the currency, and brings the
country face to face with the one main
issue Of the paper currency based on coin
