THE SILy Err BILL.

The conference silver bill provides
for the purchase OF 10000 ounces or
silver per month at the market price,
provided that amount is offered and
the price does not exceed 81 for 3TI4
grains OF pure silver, payment to be
made in Treasury notes which shall
be a legal tender for all debts, both
public and private, and releemable in
coin either gold OF silvc. at the option
OF the Secretary of the Treasury.
The Secretary Of the Treasury shall
coin each month into standard silver
dollars 100000 ounces Of bullion
until July !, 1891, after which it is
discretionary with that officer how
much shall be coined.
The objection to this law is that it
treats silver rs n mere commodity, and
while its effect will be to put in circu-
lation a large amount OF legal tender
certificates redeemable in coin, it does
not undo thu great wrong Of 1873.

OF tho Secretary Of the Treasury, and
the further TACT that that ofheer, both

There is another feature OF the bill
to <hirh We object, and that is the
p-o:ision which mak,s the Treasury
notes legal tender in payment Of
all debts, except urhen otherwise er-
prssslJ stipulated IN the contract.
This gives the gold bugs the right to
