TRADE UULLd KS.
rhiIndeIphia Merchants Indignant
over RepudiatiOn.


Philadelphia Ledger
Considerable indignant comment WAS
excited among business men yesterday
by a report that sub oommittee ei tue
finance COMMITTEES OF the United Sthtes
Senate would probably report to the
general committee to day against the
redemption at par by the government OF
the silver trade dollar. and that lhe
general COMMITTEES would also make THIS
the bssis ot an adverse report. A
represeutatlvs of this paper yesterday
attprpoon had a talk with several
promneut business men, inclndiDR
merchants Manufacturers aud shippers,
upon this subject aud he found q
N ,tked uuanimitY ofsentiment amoug all
II, condemnation of the action anticipated.
Thee gentlemen held that the greater
prorort,on of the outstanding trade
| dollars are iu the hands OF honest trades
people, npon whom loBs must fall II they
are net redeemed at par, and tn 1t waS
40 outrage upon the part OF the govern
m,o,t to compsl those who took coin
issued by 1t aud bearing its stamp, to
suffer loss OF II per cent. in making
exchanges. Raoh OF thr gentlemen
alluded to said that what they had OF the
demonetized coin was taken in the way
of trade, and that the objection to the
passage OF the act, that many OF these
coins are in the hands Of speoulstora who
would profit by q law a sed to exchange
or redeem them, was ere hardly worthy
OF notice, ss this was the case with al
dishonored or dsbssed money. The pri'
mary fault, II was held, was not with th'
sp4culator, but with the legislation tina
gave them the opportunity to speculate
at the expense OF the people.
All OF the gentlemen spoken TO wer'
known to have taken the coin In thei
legitimate business at par at time whel
other business people we're afraid to touc'
it, these parties trusting to the honor O
the government to redeem 1t at Its fac
value and not at a discount. They sol
they hoped that the rumcr OF advers
action would not prove true, as in all se'
tions of the country there were homes
holders Of the coin who would SUITE
equally as great loss as the oitizeDs An
