Present Law Is Good, but 1t Should Be
Elastic.

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-Henry Clews has ad-
dressed an open letter to the secretary of the
treasury, in which he makes one or two novel
suggestions about silver legislation Clews
says:
Congress should amend the present silver
law by inserting a clause giving the secretary OF
the treasury authority TO change at his discre-
ton the periods OF purchases of silver. At pres
ent the law provides for 100000 ounces each
month In place of this to provide for the present
money crisis substitute at the secrctary's discre-
ton authority 10 purchase double the amount in
December, equal TO 100000 ounces, and the
same for January, February and March, and to
suspend purchases entirely to provide for the
same in the months of April, May, June and
July.
Next, what is important for the people of the
country to know for a certainty is that they can
RELY upon the present law being permanent
and not subject TO changes OF convenience by
every congress When the present law has been
in existence year il will bring out new silver
money aggregating in amount s6000o,000, and
each year thereafter an equal sum. In ten years
from the date of the passage OF this act the
amount of this money viii be about 5000 .000, 600.
This annual increase, am of the opinion, viii
be ample for that class of money, and it would
be unwise TO increase il. 1t certainly viii be
sufficient il congress will also pass at an early
date Sherman's bill. which provides for national
hank bills to be issued up TO the par value of
United States bonds. This will increase that
class of money $4,000 600

telling how Gonffe was sitting down with
Gabrielle on his knee and fondling her when

Later, Eyraud told of his visit to America in

contemplated murder and robbery with view
OF getting fresh supply of funds. Eyraud
