 CURRENCY REFORM LEAGUE. The League on the Silver Coinage Question-What the National AssO- eiatfon Did.
 At the meeting of the Currency Reform league Monday evening, the president gave an account of the proceedings of ''The Silver Coinage association" held at Washington, D. C., on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. He said: Thirty-one States and eight territories were represented by about hun dred delegates, more or less. The Hon. John F. Jones, United States senator from Nevada, was elected president of the association, and made an extemporaneous address full of good sense and definite knowledge, and evincing that large and easy command of the subject of metal money that made his speech and the report of the monetary commission science. No one can listen to him for half an hour without seeing vastly wider relations in this apparently abtruse but really very simple matter than he before suspected. In his speech the plain interests of all classes, money owners and muscle owners alike, were seen to be in the direction of prices and wages slowly rising, and the value of money slowly falling. The rise of the price of gold all over the world was stiding industry in every country debts were becoming heavier and more difficult to pay. His pictures of laboring men everywhere doomed under a system of gold money alone to give ever an in- creaslng amount of his toll to pay taxes and the ever increasing burdens of debts were very vivid and powerful. The plan of stop ping the silver Sscoinage temporarily was pro- nounced device to get to the single gold standard Dy 1nQ1recClOp. The SUOppage Of the coinage of silver was urged he said on the ground that it would compel England and Germany to sustain prices by joining with other nations in an international treaty to give free coinage to both metals at ratio fixed by the treaty; it was merely delusive hope, an idle dream. But it was an assured calamity to debtors and wage earners every where by inordinately raising the price of gold, or rather producing a still further fall in prices. They propose to stop the coinage of silver dollars in order to raise the price of silver bullion. This jis the first time in the history of business that anyone ever has seri- ously proposed to raise the price of anything by cutting off nine-tenths of all the demand for it.
 They call the silver dollar an "eighty cent dollar" "a dishonest dollar" when the bull lion in it will now buy as much of every thing as the bullion in a gold dollar would buy in 1860. Is it not clear that dollar containing bullion enough to buy 20 per cent more than the game bullion would have bought in 1860 is the "dishonest" dollar and one that needs correcting in some wayI The speaker was followed by the proprietor oftths Cleveland Plaindealer MT. Holden, by MT. Colgate, of New York, MT. Warner of Ohio, Messrs Sheldon and Baldwin of Connecticut, and by many gentlemen from the Northwest.
