The trade dollar bill was then taken up
Bland, Mo-, took the floor in opposition
| to the Dill, especially, 10 that scctfOr
which provides that trade dollars received
at coinage mints shall be regarded as
silver bullion, and at their bullion value
shall be deducted from the amount oi
bullion to be purchased and coined. He
was in favor of the unlimited coinage o
silver and argued in support of the ex
pendiency and justice of placing silvel
bullion on the same footing as gold bull
lion. He compared the silver coinage o
the United States with that of France
stating that under the existing law it woulC
| be Is years before the circulation of thi'
country would equal that of France.
Hewitt, N. Y. inquired whether if th'
unlimited coinage were permitted here
the S6oo,ooo,ooo of silver, in France
would not come to the United States a
fast as ships could bring it and taxi
away our gold and transfer it to France
Bland replied in the negative and gav'
people were not fools enough to exchang
produce, or anything else, withou
value.
Miller and Lacey supported the bill
the latter saying he would vote agalns
it, if the fourth section, which provl LEI
that trade dollar shall be deducted from
the monthly coinage was stricken ou'
Without action the matter went owe
though it will probably be antagOnized b
the Indian approprition bill tomorrow.
