RUINATlON IN SILVER.
a DANGEROUS FEATURE IN THE
WIEDOM BILL

Spectators Would Run the Price Up
and Down to Suit Themselves and
Have tho Government at Their
Mercy-Harrison Can't Be Counted
On For Veto.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The eastern
republican leaders in the Senate and House
are very chary about saying anything for
publication on tae silver question, but pri-
vately they express the greatest apprehsn-
sion as to the outcome of the pending legis-
lation. They feel the full strength Of what
may be termed the popular demand in the
south and west for free coinage, but this
does not alarm them half 50 much as the
indications they think they see of a skillful
plan on the part Of spectators east and
west to avail themselves of this popular agi-
tation to their own enormous profit.
THE DANGER.
Said New England senator to-day:
the thing to he feared is not so much free
coinage out and out, or the increase of the
am unit to be coined by the Secretary OF
the Treasury monthly, nor any OIL her direct
legislation for multiplying silver dollars.
The danger lies in a provision, like that,
for example, in the Window bill as
amended by the Houss committee, which
provides for free coinage when the price of
silver in the market snail have reached a
certain point. If this should become law,
its effects would be ike the tides of the sea.
WOULD DO AS THEY PLEASED
"The spectators would alternately raise
the price to the point named fpr putting
their silver into the treasury, and then de-
| press the price and take it out again, aud
this would go on indefinitely, so far as can
see, until it destroyed our Fl ancia system.
l believe that il would be almost impossible
TO repeal such n law, once it was on the
statute books, for its very effects would be
attributed to other causes and might
| only secure additional legislation in the
same direction. Just what we are to GO
about il l don't see, but I shall certainly dc
the best l can TO defeat it, and If in spite
of all that can be done it goes to the presi-
dent, shall appeal to him TO save the couatry
the disaster which would inevitably re-
sult.n
NO CONFIDENCE IN HARRISON.
| He did not speak with much confidence Of
| the efficacy Of this last appeal The fact is
that he, in common With other eastern re-
publican senators and representatives, has
very little confidence in the administrator 1
standing up against the silver meu. Kaow-
ing that Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins Is the
trusted confidential adviser both Of the
| President and Of the Secretary of the
| Treasury, it is not streng3 that when they
look beyond congress they fear the worst.

! various grades, however, is not uniform,

Another important decision reached was
the placing Of nickel ores on the free list.
LEAD ORES AND HIDES.
There was an effort made to reopen the
lead ore and hide duties, but the members
are not SO disposed and say that these arti-
cles III the bill as reported viii stand as at
