THE SILVER PROBLEM
No Agreement Reached by
the Republicans.
The HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE
The Report Submitted to the Full
Committee Yesterday-Ths Re-
demption Question.

WASHINGTON, April l6 The house re.
publican committee on the silver ques-
tion this morning heard the report of the
Subcommittee, and the latter will confer
with tho sub committee of the senate re-
publican committee, with the view OF
coming to basis of agreement.
The subcommittee reported that 1t
had been agreed that the bill should
provide for the purchase OF four and n
half million ounces Of silver every
mouth, certificates to be issued in
payment thereof, 10 be redeemable in
lawful money. At first, 1t is said. the
members of the committee were inclined
to adopt this basis, and voted to do so.
Afterward. however, In discussing the
matter of redeemable certificates, a sen
timent was developed in favor of making
them redeemabie in bullion. This prop
osition was advocated by the majority
of the committee, and the sub commit
tee was instructed to again confer with
the senate subcommittee and endeayor
to induce them to agree to provide for
the redemption OF the certificates, in ac-
cordance with the views of the house
committee.
A Der oil the senate sub-commtt-
tee said In a conversation upon the sub
ject that no such agreement as that
would be recommended by his vote. He
did not believe there were five senators
who favored the redemption Of the GER
tiicates in bullion. He further said
that II was expected that at first the
cost OF the silver purchased would he
less than 400, 600 per month, but that
under the operations of the bill the price
will be so enhanced that In a short time
the cost of silver will probably sur
pass that sum. Ii is also expected
he said, that for time, at least, other
silver than the product of tho United
States will be necessary TO make up the
full amount of monthly purchases.
Another senator said that 1t was rap
idly becoming manifest that an agree
meDt must be reached by the republi-
cans, or else n proposition would be
made for an unlimited free coinage, and
IL would pass both houses.
The meeting of the subcommittee
this afternoon was productive of the re-
suit of another meet to be held FRI

ford 10 the REvIEw.l
Nav YoRK, April i6.--'rhe plans of
tho Northern Pacific Reduction Com
pany have been crystallising for six
months and our principal effort was to
interest capitalists who would take an
interest in the future success of the en-
tcrpriso and who would be able imam
oially, when they saw the great profits
In successful smelter, TO support the
company.
We believe that In Spokane county
there will be one of the largest smeltors
In America, and to sustain such an in-
stltution large sums of money will be
necessary to get q clientage able 10 absorb
millions of dollars OF future securities,
We have picked men of standing In
whom the public believe, and VIC have
following in New York, Indiana, Penn
sylVania, Ohio Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut and Vermont, and II the 1OO-ton
smelter we propose TO erect runs any
where near as successfully as we antici-
pate, no matter what sum we require TO
Increase our plant we think we have
the clientage that will absorb the stock
~ soon as IL ID issucu.
The srleiter will lie ecommenced as soon
Us MIR. Burbidgo desires to break ground.
The policy of the company is success,
no matter what the cost. We shall not
incrcase the plant until the hundred
tons is overworked. We shall establish
a ii1ed charge for smelling. and will give
tho miner all he Is entitled to. We want
to encourage the mining OF low grade
ores, and to do this will Fix our charges
low and given the miners square deal.
After the smelter is in successful oper-
alton we will have corporation formed
TO make white lead and manufacture
lead articles, that we may utilize the
lead products Of the works and thus
save the miner aud ourselves the haul
Of base bullion to the East.
The best management possible will
be given. and two months before the
works are ready to run the sampler will
proceed to buy ores Of grade
that is practically valueless al present.
our object is to get up large and sue
cessftil lrnde So that we shall be able to
get Eastern companies and banks and
estates to invest in Western smelling Sc
curitios at high rates, us compared to
the low rates on real estate. We con-
slider gold and SILVER better securities
than are generally offered, and a sue
cessful smelling works is able to utilize
large sums.
The reasons we divorce the smelter Is
because the two seldom run together
successfully. HESRY u. CLIfFoRD.
