silver Victor. Gus.

The silver bill has become law over
and in spite of the Presidents veto, more
than two-thirds of the Senate and House
voting TO sustain it, The Maine delega-
ton in both branches voted solidly against
the bill throughout all stages OF the con-
test.
The President in his message returning
the bill to the House stated clearly the
principal objections to it; first that the
dollar which il provides for is less in value
than the gold dollar by nearly ten per
cent; second, that compelling OF holders
of bonds to accept payment for bonds and
interest in deprecated coin is a breach ol
faith with the government creditors third,
that il will operate uniuslly in regard to
debts between individuals contracted prior
to the passage of the silver measure.
Were the silver dollar which this act au
thorizes to be comedian circulated and
made legal tender for all debts aud dues,
private and public, equal in value to the
gold dollar, then the above objections to 1t
would be removed, leaving only the ques-
tion in dispute as to the operation OF the
double instead of the single standard.
With the present difference between the
gold and silver dollar existing, the pas
sage of the bill can only be regarded as
gross violation OF faith
The friends OF the bill. however, claim
that the reconciliation of silver in this
country will cause the value of silver to
rise, so that the silver dollar will soon
equate with the gold dollar. This Is not
certain. II it were the bill wonld bear
different aspect. 1t is tue that in 1873.
when the decentralization OF the silver dol
lar by our government took place, it stood
at above par with the gold dollar, but the
causes which have since sunk it ten per
cent. below are not removable by the
reconciliation of silver in this country
Much depends upon the action of other
countries 10 regard to the money standard
RECOMMENDATION of silver here will tend to
the restoration of the value and use OF
silver in Europe. perhaps, but how long
a period OF time may be necessary to
cause the equation of the silver and gold
dollar. if ever, is uncertain.
But the silver bill has become law,
whether we like it or not, and now goes
on trial before the people. Speculation
and theorizing in regard to its operation
must halt while practical results show for
themselves what manner of measure this
is We shall not long be left in doubt. Its
effects will be clearly seen and felt On
the face OF it the bill. though much i'm
proved by the amendments made to it in
the Senate. wears anything but satialac-
tory look to those who believe in keeping
the public faith invlolate, but they who
opposed 1t can afford to wait and see if
it fulfills the promises of those who as
sumed the grave responsibility of placing
1t upon the statute book.

Constitution providing for the election by
the people of three Presidents, one from
the West, one from the Eastern and Mid

terms shall be six years. and who shall be
ineligible to re-elections. He proposes TO
elect these Presidents the first time for
two, four and six years. and regularly
every two years thereafter for the full term
of six years. Tney are to constitute a
grand high joint triumyirate, or as South
