that, if it could become a law,

The Bland silver Bill.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
Below will be found the Bland
silver bill as il passed the House,
and it now stands before the Sen
ate. The House bill ends with the
words printed In brackets. The
Senate Committee on Finance struck
out the words in brackets and add
ed the words which follow. The
reader thus has both bills before
him, aud will be able to understand
the references made to them during
the debate:
can Act to authorize the free coiu-
age of the standard silver dollar,
and to restore its legal tender
character.
"Be It, enacted, etc, That there
shall be coined at the several minis
of the United States silver dollars
of the weight of four hundred and
twelve and a half grains Troy of
act of January eighteenth, eighteen
hundred and LhirtY-seveD, on which
shall be the devices and superscrip-
lions provided by said act, which
coins, together with all silver dol
lars heretofore coined by the United
States of like weight and fineness,
shall be legal tender at their NOM
inal value, for all dues, public aud
private, except where otherwise
provided by contract: and any
owner of silver bullion may deposit
the same at any United States coin
age mint or assay office, to be coin
ed into sueE dollars, for his benefit,
upon the same terms and conditions
as gold bullion is deposited for coin
age under existing laws1. And the
Secretary of the Treasury is author
lied and directed, out of any money
in the Treasury not otherwise APP
propriRted, to purchase, from time
to time, silver bullion at the market
price thereof, not less than two mil
hon dollars per month, nor more
than four million dollars per month,
and cause the same to be coined in
to such dollars. And any gain or
seignOrage arising from this coinage
shall be accounted for or paid into
the Treasury, as provided under ex-
listing laws relstive to the subsidiary
coinage; provided that the amount
of money at auy one time invested
in such silver bullion, exclusive of
such resulting coin, shall not exceed
five million dollars"

Tommy Hendricks is slick 'un.
His latest performances on the fence
are on the silver and resumption
questions. The Tall Sycamore is in
TOmmy's way, and the political
management" between the two is
rather amusing. Tommy sees the
Tall looming up, and lie smoth-
ering him with kindness. Jim
Lane, who got his political edu-
cation In Indiana, used to say If you
want q man out of the way, it is
generally the best to "pnsh him up"
Mr.. Hendricks has been pushing
Dan up, but he don't want him to
get too high, with a promise OF too
much popularity left over. Dams
speech on the silver question, and
the popularity of that Issue, gives
him . start that rather excites Hen
bricks fear, and so he, too, writes
letter for silver. He gets OF the
fence, where he had comfortably
rested for several months. And
now he lie loudly accused Of being
inconsistent by that staunch patriot,
August Belmont, who will probably
have q thing or two to say about the
next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. Hendricks thought he had
aid down from the fence at an op-
perfume time, but finds be is too late
for the Ewing and VOORHEES, wing
of the party, and too early for the
Bayard and Belmont fellows. So
Tommy lie in g sweat, and heartily
wishes he was back on the top rail
again to await 9 more favorable time
to jump.
