tn the naval appropriation bill tomorrow.
The bill provides for an appropriation of

estimates and $1,565, ,23S less than the ap-
preparation for the current year. A sufi-
cient amount has been agreed upon to
complete four steel cruisers as proposed

was given, however, for the completion Of
monitors and for which about So, SOC, 900

THE SILVER DOLLAR PROBLEM
The subcommittee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures has prepared a bill which
provides that until January /, 1886, trade
dollars shall be received at their face
value IN payment of all dues to the United
states, and shall not be again paid out or
Ill any OJher manner reissued. Holders
OF the coin may receive in exchange
dollar for dollar for any silver coin of the
United States on presentation of a trade
dollar at the office Of the Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer, or at any of the
mints of the United States. The bill also
provides that the trade dollar shall be re-
coined into any authorized coin of the
government. At tO-day's meeting a num-
Der of members of the committee opposed
the manner of recoinage as proposed by
the bill, and Representative Bland gave
notice that he would insist upon an
amendment providing for the recoinage
of the trade dollar into standard dollars
instead of any authorized coin.

Mr.. Belford, of Colorado, said that he

question was not so much one of State
rights as 1T was of state duty. He be-
lleYed the work contemplated could be
done better by the States alone than by
the Federal authority.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, opposed the bill
on constitutional grounds, and MIR. Glib
son. of West Virginia, opposed it on its
merits. He did not mean to reflect upon
the Committee on Agriculture, but that
committee must have been overreached.
ior the bill was a fraud on its face, and
intended to perpetuate great wrong upon
the people. 1t proposed to create a force
OF officers who should take the place of
Collectors OF Internal Revenue, and search
every mans farm, and he was utterly
astOnlshed that the committee had put
such unlimited power i'll the hands of sub
ordinate officers, and opened to such a
wide extent the doors of the Trea sury.
Pending further action, the committee
rose, and the House adjourned.
