CoM5EHST : On WARMERS SCHEME.
NEW York, June S.-[Speciai l-Congress-
m In Waraer's latest silver proposition is
being extensively discussed. The Tribune
thinks it a carefully matured scheme by
Tilden and other prominent democrats, by
which they hope tp escape, ON the one hand
the total consequence of silver coinage, and
on the other hand, the fatal disagi cement
within the party. The Tribune also says:
+'Limited coinage is to be abandoned, but
instead we are offered unlimited imitation.
Soft money democrats may well look with
favor on a scheme under which there would
be absolutely n limit to silver notes that
might be issued. 1t is not proposed to issue
on deposits of American bullion alone. All
the silver in Europe could be brought taI
the treasury. as it woull be merely qaes-
tion of price.
The Times says: F'The stories of Ti!den,
Manning and other leading democrats hav-
ing approved Warmers patent currency,
have no authority"
