When Land Commissioner Sparks de
cided that before he issued patents TO

silver Coinage.

"What is the relative strength OF par
ties in the house on the question of sill
YER coinage" is an inquiry which is
frequently made, and one which cannot
be answered accurately until some test
is made which will cause representa-
tives TO record themselves in answer to
the POLL call. The advocates of silver
are confident that they have decided
majority. and all the surface indications
seem to justify this confidence. There
is q class who advocate the continuance
of the coinage because they believe in
the double standard. and who are sim
cere in their belief that the best inter
ests of the country require that the coin
age act of 1878 should be maintained.
The latter class is made up of the re-
representatives. from the South and the
Mississippi valley, which includes all OF
the states between Pennsylvania and
the Missouri river with the addition OF
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and
Nebraska. 1t is upon the representa-
tives from the South and West, there
fore, that the suspension of continuance
Of silver coinage will depend, and it is tc
these gentlemen that the advocates o.
suspension look for recruits when the
contest begins in the house. How fal
they will be influenced by the arguments
that will be adyanced-whether they
will continue In the ranks with the mer
from the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
slope or be drawn over to the sides o
the Eastern or Middle tes-remains t.
be seen. For the purpose of determin
ing how the house now stands on tht
question, the National Republican hal
made a canvass, which shows that ~
members favor the suspension of silver
coinage and 1877 oppose it. OF the 12'
who favor suspension, 3S are Democrat
and 80 Republicans. OF III 1877 wh'
favor continuing the silver coinage
ia are Democrats and So are Republi
/ cans.
