Before the House Committee ON Coin.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 17.-Joseph
Sheldon of New Haven, Conn.,, made an
argument before the house committee on
coinage, weights and measures to-day in be-
half of the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. He insisted that such policy would
reduce the strain of the India composition
and that the incompatible loss that COM
petition every year costs to the farmers and
planters of the United States. It would
tend to stop the general downward trend of
prices, and might restore part of the losses
that the prices of services and commodities
have sustained. 1t would provide more
stable currency than any that at present ex-
lists; would send part Of our gold to Europe,
where it would raise the price of all our
produces sold in our markets, and might re-
duce the price of the United States four per
cent. bonds 80 that they could be bought by
the government at less than twenty six per
cent. premium. It would be safe in finance,
wise in politics, just to all. and the FIRST step
in securing our manufacturing and CONNER.
