RrriER'S SILVER VIEWS.
.,,,-e-DENTIAL SUSPENSION OF
- COINAGE ADVOCATED.

A~HINGTON, oepI' 1os--CeHatol Dut-
,- of South Carolina, being interviewed
n New York yesterday, said, in re-
sr,nse to a question as 70 whether he
,r,pld vote to repeal the Bland silver law:
.rba massage of bill Immediately after
CONGRESS- meets authorizing the President
=, s9spend the provision Of that act
whenever the public exigencies require
would 1 think, be better course. In
1arge measure that would cure the evil
,.nnIained of, and at the same time give
tba friends OF that act a chance to Join it's
'.oonents in correcting what all must
otvtri is working mischief to the best in
,ere5ts Of the country.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
srTberp have now been coined something
oyar 2OOOOl 600 Of these dollars, and |
\ Isnbt II 81. 900, 600 could be successfully
d aoqted M utilized in business. AS a AK
& rsyar am opposed to paying my part Of
r es g24 OO0. 900 per aunum to buy some-
& t1ing the government does not need.
8 Batter devote the money 10 the eXtln-
81 uisament OF the public debt or stop
81 tayati0u TO that extent. ! do not see why
II me so-called silver men should object to
& sncA n measure, unless they intend to
| cram silver down the throats Of the people
# lqIeRS rJlenS."
OPPOSED TO THE WARNER COMPROMISE.
Hesaid that he was emphatically op-
81 messed to the Warner compromise. Speak
n igyo( this he SAID: "W hat better right
II fas the owner OF silver bullion to have
Fl certificate from the government for his
. Drlperiy at its market value than the
81 owner Of pig iron, or copper, or cotton, or
# hemp or fax, or any other imperlshable
81 commodity? ] cannot understand why he
Fl should have. True, silver is what is known
# ss one of the precious metals-is used as
# m0ney-but the government does not
want more OF it than it can use adyan-
. t8ge0usy. Then why continue TO buy it,
81 either 10 coin or to keep on deposit as
81 bullion?
NOT PERMITTED BY LAW.
But 20 further and say that the gov
eminent has no right to put out such
Ri paper as these certificates. 1t has not
81 the right and it would not be honest to
ISSUE paper-whether in the form of GER
Hdcsies or Otherwise-wOrthl less than
dollar 1t would be unjust to those who
are noJ on the lookout for sharpers and
spectators, into whose hands much of
this depreciated paper might fall"
sHERNIAN's SPEECHES.

bloody shirt speeches had on the South,
