WASHINGTON, January 18th. = Senator
Beck says : What we shall do after Jones
OF Nevada returns is to try and pass a bill
ordering the bonds to be paid in silver and
gold according to the ratio in which they
are received for duties, and probably to
order the reserve for the redemption of
legal tender notes to be made up of gold
and silver equally. My own idea is also to
Withdraw and destroy all the gold and sill
Yer certificates, and issue instead coin GER
tificates, issued for either silver or gold,
redeemable in either, as the Government
chooses. | think when Jones returns we
shall be in a majority in the Finance Com
