Senator Paddook's Revolt,

The revolt of the Republican Senators against
the passage of the Federal Election bill has as
sumed formidable proportions. 1t has been well
known that many of them are opposed to the
bill, but up to recently none of them had put
themselves square y on record against it, Harry
Walker, correspondence of the New York Journal,
has sent to his paper an authorized statement
from Senator Paddock giving the latter's views
on the Force bill. Senator Paddock says that he
is unalterably opposed to the bill and will vote
against it, whether OF not the Senatorial caucus
decides to support it.
This decision, he says, has only been reached
by him after long consideration of the subject
and much careful Thought He has been to tile
leading Eastern centres of trade at New York
Boston, Providence. Philadelphia and Fall River
and has talked about the effect OF the bill with
the leading business men of both parties. The
result has been that an almost unanimous senti-
ment against the bill has been discovered. They
fear that, il the bill is passed, the Southern peo
pie will make good their threats of retaliation by
boycotting goods made in the North. They there
fore believe that it would be impolitic to pass
the bill.
Senator Paddock says that these reasons seem
so weighty to him that he will be forced to vote
against the measure. Senator Paddock added
that he should not vote for the bill whatever
should be the decision of the caucus. VA Sena-
torial caucus, y he says, lis not binding, but is
merely conference"
Another Senator who will probably come out
in a day or two and take the same position as
held by Mr.. Paddock is Senator Aldrich of Rhode
Island. He has been overwhelmed with protests
against the bill from business men of all par
ties, and has practically decided not to support
the bill He says that if he should vote for it he
would vote against the best interests of his con-
linz of ctr ic nnu
between Providence and Savannah, which would
lose heavily by sectional legislation. He and
Senator Paddock both say that they believe the
business interests of the whole country are OPP
posed to the bill.

The Cause of Lower Assessments.

Correspondence of the VIRGIN1ANl
Editor Valley Virginidn We do not have to
look far to find the cause Of the lower assessed
valuation of farming lands.
The general discussion of the causes of the
decline Of agricultural prosperity and of farm
values, which has led to the measure of relief
which Congress has just granted by action look
ing toward the full restoration of silver as a
money metal, will fully explain it to the reader.
The contraction OF values, under the gold
standard, has been continuous ana alarming.
as the purchasing power of money increased.
The general decline in the value of farm pro-
ducts since 1873 is estimated to average 331s per
cent.
That is to say, the dollar will buy 50 per cent.
more now than in 1873
II it took ST. so to buy u tusel Of wheat In 1879
anu Sl.u0 IN 1870. the uUIIHr Uuys ,,or cont
more, though wheat has declined but 334 per
cent.
1t was this constantly increasing value of
money that has made it so disastrous to the
farming interest, and through that to all other
industrial interests.
The contraction of our money to resume specie
payment. the contraction of the specie basis
from gold and silver to gold alone, has been the
cause of untold evil to our country and to the
world.
Our people have seen the folly of it.
APPLY did one of the experts testifying befor
the British Royal Commission on silver refer to
the folly of the United States, a great debtor
nation, adopting the gold Standard sThey know
nothing of currency matters, and did not know
that it would vastly increase their debit he
said.
AS the rise of silver is the fall of gold we shall
have full relief and a return of prosperity only
when the two metals meet, as they will when
any great nation opens its minis to silver and
gold upon equal terms.
Silver was quoted the 23d in New York, in
bars, at S1O9H per once 1t had long been in the
nineties, and before our silver agitation began
The country needs the full restoration of silver
at the mints
1t will then be taken out of the market as
commodity, and become, as it always has been
in past ages measure Of value with gold and
then we shall hear no more of low priced silver
nor high priced gold, for open mints fix the
value of one and the other.
Neither can be above nor below coin value for

melting pot or into coin at the mint
