WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June 90 1S90
1t will be general surprise and matter of in
terest 10 those who have watched the discussion
in the Senate on the silver problem, to learn of
the victory gained this week by the free coinage
men. Although a great uncertainty ON the sub
ject prevailed. when it came to vote in the SEN
ate. the conservative men were beaten at every
point and by greater majorities than they had
allowed themselves to expect.
Mr.. Wolcott. the junior Senator from Colorado
made the final effort of consequence in the great
contest. 1t was his maiden effort before the
Senate and the chamber. which has remained
comparatively empty of late. was filled with an
audience in anticipation of something worth lis
tening to. He made stirring speech. without
the use of notes. and at the close was accorded an
ovation such is seldom seen in the Senate.
Ordinarily neither members or visitors in the gall
leries pretend to listen to speech delivered in
Congress. Although common decency is observed
it is a great difficulty to hear ordinary speak
er But the resonant voice of Mr.. Wolcott PEN
etrated every part of the Senate chamber. SEN
ators came tip -toeing from their cloak rooms to
hear him, and others wheeled their chairs in his
direction. and intently watched his line of argu-
ment. 1t was compliment that is not frequent
ly offered an entirely new man in Congress. and
at the conclusion of his oration he was surround
ed by Senators anxious to extend their felicit-B
tions In the voting that followed. absolutely no
party lines were observed, Both Democrats and
Republicans were in favor of and against free
coinage, which was passed by the Senate. and has
practically become law. Of course. the concur.
renee of the House and President is still required;
but it is understood that the majority of the
Hoase are in favor of it. and that they voted for
the House silver bill with the expectation that it
would be amended. to meet their actual views, in
the Senate. No difficulty is apprehended in OBJ
tanning the Presidents approval of the bill,
which is as follows,
After its passage, the value of dollar is to be
considered 412 1-2 grains oliver, and rs $40 grains
gold. That anyone possessing as much as 500
worth of the precious metals may have it coined
into money at any mint in the United States,
Silver is made legal tender, as are also the GER
tiffcates to be issued by the Treasurer in the pur
chase of bullion In fact the free coinage men got
everything they wanted. including the restora-
tion to circulation of the securities held by the u
s. Treasurer for the redemption of the circulation
of the national banks. The republican papers
here blame the Finance committee, and charge

it with the guilt of grave error in tactics, and in
having placed the President in o very embarass-
ing position. He had taken a very positive stand
on the question of free coinage, but now that the
ultra silver men have developed such unex-
pected strength, the President will either have
to swallow the pill or abandon any hopes he may
have entertained for second term in office.
The Antitrust bill was passed Wednesday At
a conference representing both Houses. both
ceded from their previous demands in regard to
amendments. and the bill as passed is. practically
in the same condition as first produced by the
Senate.
The Finance committee of the Senate reported
the Tariff bill, as they had amended it, Wednes-
day afternoon. and printed copies were distri-
buted, which were eagerly examined. A rough
estimate makes it appear that the committees
amendments increase the public revenues above
that expected from the Mckinley bill. about $l5.-
Geo. 600 per annum. In this calculation it is esti-
mated that $40. GOO is added by increased duty
on tobacco. Other commodities imported are
also increased in the tariff schedule above those
rates fixed in the Mckinley bill; as the extrava-
gance of the present administration has been so
excessive, no other course was left the committee
which had been loudly prompted by the Treas
ury department that a big deficit was liable to
occur with the pubic purse.
Binding twine which is used so largely by
farmers now at harvest time, and which the
Farmers Alliance ave tried so hard. recently. tt
have taken off the tariff list, is largely increased
in duty above that called for in the Mckinley
bill. There is great complaint that the bill ha
been too hastily considered by the committee
and that where increases have been made tn
advance was too much. and that reductions il
other scedules have been excessive. Incongrui
ties also exist. For instance. fax pays $40 pc
ton. while its refuse. tow, pays $25. The bill vii
not be called up before July l. but there is
Eprompt expression that the committees report
unscientifc and too hastily drawn.
