THE silver question is one Of Tia
most important that will engage the
attention Of Congress at this session.
Senator Sherman, one Of the ablesl
fna iciefs ID the country. has recently
submitted his views 10 the shape of u
bill, which has solid merit. He pro.
poses that the coinage of standard
silver dollars shall be susp, nded, aud
that the treasury be authorized ana
directed to purchase at the markel
price from 100000 to 1000. 900
ounces of silver bullion, nine-tenihs
fine, per month. issuing 10 payment
therefor coin certificates in denomi-
nations of $40 each. The bullion
thus purchased shall be retained in
the treasury as security for the certif-
Gates. The latter viii be receivable
for customs, taxes and all publicgdues,
and on their preseOtation for redcmp-
ton they will be redeemed in coin
Coin certificates will be issued to per-
sons depositing silver and gold dol
lars or gold bullion 10 the treasury,
which silver and gold will be retain
ed in the treasury for the redemption
of the certificates on demand This
disposition Of the silver question
seems to US to lie just, and ought to
satisfy those who denounce redundant
silver coinage
