SILVER IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The bat
tie for free silver is proceeding in the
senate. In the discussion last night
Senator Stewart argued that the
demonetizatiOn of silver had de-
pressed the prices of commodities
from 30 to 40 per cent, and remon-
etization would produce good times
again. The object of the silver men
was TO furnish more money, to stop
and to relieve the debtor
and producer. The bill recommend
ed by Secretary Tracy, supported by
Senators Sherman and DOlph, was IA
cunning device to stop the pres-
ent coinage of $2,OO0,00O month
ly of silver under the Beard
bill. In conclusion he said
there was no middle ground in
a contest between usury and JUS
tice. The demonetization of silver
was a crime committed against civil
IL ition and nothing but full resto-
ration of that metal to the place
which it occupied before the crime
was committed could redress the
wrong or redeem the pledge of the
republican party.
Senator Wilson of Iowa, gave no
tice of an amendment, providing
that the treasury notes to be issued
for silver, shall be legal tender tor all
private debts within the United
States. Farewell also gave notice Of
an amendment providing that the
certificates shall be receivable for
customs, taxes aud public debts and
be legal tender for all public and
private debts.
