Tho Mnrncr SiIYor Ell.

The publication of the full text of the
Warner silver bill does not add materially
to the sum total of the worlds available
stock of knowledge on that question. Its
main points are just what was stated some
months ago, when It's author first announced
his intention to bring 1t into this breathing
world. 1t provides that any holder Of
silver bullion may deposit the same with
the treasurer or any assistant treasurer Of
the United States In amounts OF not less
value than $40, and receive therefor celtia-
Gates in denominations of so and multiplcs
Of SO, prepared as now provided by law
for United States notes.
These certificates are made receivable at
par in all parts Of the United States for
rstCms, taxes, and all other public dues,
and may be deposited by national banks for
the redemption Of circulating notes. They
shall also be a legal tender between ma
tional banks, and legal tender in payment
National Republican., 1885-09-28

q all delts and demands owing by the
United States, except where payment in
coin is expressly stipulated. They are to
lie redeemed on preseutation attho treasury,
or suOucGsury, IN the city of New YORK, In
lawful money, or at tine option OF tho Sec
rttciy OF the Treasury IN silver bullion at
rs EGIkct value at tue time of redemp-
tion.
The most important point is that which
provides for determining how big ccrjf-
cate 10 give for specified weight Of silver.
On this question the bill declares that the
value or ratio to gold at which certificates
shGl he issued on silver bullion deposited
under this act shall he its actual ratio or
mtfket value at time Of deposit. Means
gre provided for the accurate determination
Of this ratio.
Suspension Of the coinage act Is, Of
course, provided for, but the Secretary OF
the Treasury may coin as many dollars as he
thinks are needed The sixth section
of the bill declares that there shall be no
iuitlcr issue or reissue Of 50 national bank
notes, nor Of 81 and So United States notes.
Tut notes Of larger denominations may be
issued In place Of the So national bank notes
tCtiitd, ard the total amount Of United
States notes, as now fixed by law, shall be
kept up ty substituting notes of higher de-
nomination for 81 and S2notes.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that this bill
will lie fought, tooth aud nail, by the oppo-
nents Of silver. The New York Tribune
voices this sentiment when 1t says "The bill
is not a compromise at all. II provides for
a more reckless and unlimited imitation than
any other measure that has been proposed
for many years"
From present indications It is safe to pre-
diet that the silver fight is not likely to be
prevented by Mr.. Warmers measure, even
though his views should be indorscd by the
President and his Secretary Of the Treasury.

THE administration has a legal right to

Just at present the vital principle of civil
service reform is disregarded. When chief
Of division in one of the departments here is
reduced to Il fourth-class clerk and yet re-

fession that the real object is to provide a

The Rights and wrong, of Labor.

The Democratic party came into power
pledged to exert itself most zeilously to
advance the Interests Of labor. II has, In
every presidential campaign, posed before
the country as the special and peculiar
champion Of labor Its campaign litcra.
ture has largely consisted Of false charges
Of unfriendlinGss to labor on the part Of its
opponent. II promised ten thousand times,
In the mCst solemn and impressive manner,
that II It's candidates were elected the inter
csts Of labor should be its first aud greatest
care.
1t came into power less than seven months
ago, and to-day there is not single organ
ization Of wage workers IN the United
States and not a single earnest friend of the
workingman that does not know and will
not say that all its promises were dclusive.
During the time that has elapsed since the
Inauguration Of the first post-bellum Demo-
cratic administration not a single question
that has arisen involving the interests of
the wOrkingmen has been decided In their
favor
During the first seven months of the first
Democratic administration since the war
the administration has made repeated and
deliberate assaults on the rights and inter
ests of labor; has done this in the face Of
the earnest protests of the workingmen;
has done II when ne Ter law nor rules re-
quired such action, and when the officials
were plainly shown that they had plenaiy
discretion in the premises.
The government is the agency of the peo.
pie. The President, his Cabinet, and their
subordinates are the servants Of the people,
employed to do work which cannot be per-
formed by the people collectively. II has
always been the policy Of the people TO en-
ploy good workmen at fair wages on all
public works. 1t is believed that in a
broad and high sense the interests Of capital
and labor are identical. 1t is best for all
classes that labor should be fairly paid The
rights of capital in this country could not
be long maintained II the government per-
sistently oppressed labor. Therefore, so far
as relates to the policy Of the government,
the interests of capital are best subserved
when fair wages are paid for public work.
On the same theory the interests of capital
are disregarded when convict labor or cheap
foreign labor or any other than free, honest,
well-paid labor is employed on national
work Of any kind.
