Advance Of silver.
lst. Louis Times. Feb. 81

Silver coin Is running up in spite Of the exer-
tions OF the New York bears to cry 1t down. A
week ago the New York papers quoted silver at
s to 10 per cent discount; Monday the brokers
of that city were buying silver coin at 9s cent
in greenbacks. and the gold bugs don't know
whatto do about it. To consider upon the mat
and Transportation was held on Monday.
whereat 1t was stated that many manu-
taeturers We're paying off their laborers in
silver and this was considered a very great
grievance which ought at once to be remedied.
Singularly enough. these laborers themselves
make no complaints of this; And quite as sin
Board of Trade are altogether obivious of the
fact that, not many months ago. they paid their
'laborers" off In greenhacks. when greenbacks
were 10. 90 and even so per cent Fellow par.
and never suffered any aualms Of con-
science nor lost st. wink Of sleep for hay
ever having petitioned Congress to make green
backs par with gold. But at this meeting they
did draw UP memorial to Congress, contain
ing an urgent request that measures be taken
to prevent the hurdensome oppression of too
much silver. coin. doubtless with a view to
benefit the ''laborers." but very certainly to
show hostility to the passage Of the Bland bill.
Now let Congress hurry up the silver bill. That
passed. silver will be at q par with gold coin. It
lacks less than per cent Of that now.
