CALCULATIONS AZ 70 THE FINANCIAL
BiLL.
II Il the general expectation that tho
latter part u next week the Senate H.
naneihl bill viii come over 20 the
House and the member. arc awaken
Ing 10 the possibility Of another strife
over the measure somewhat similar 10
that preceding tho enactment OF the
| present silver law. There II consider
able speculation NJ 10 the shape tho bill
! will take In the Senate. AS It's fuatures
outside OF the FREQ coinage proposition,
which Il looked upon ~ Inevitable,
will 10 some extent influence the
/ members In their views. On this point
| the silver men 10 not appear united.
| Some think the bill should bo passed
providing for nothing save free colin
age, rs they fear consideration would
be- retarded II tho bill were numbered
up with general banking legislation.
OILERS aro OF the opinion that free
coinage would be- strengthened by as-
sociatloi with those sections popular
In tho East.
When the bill comes over 10 the
House the general impression Is that II
VIII DO nj once referred 10 the House
committee on coinage. However,
the attitude which the speaker Will as
sumo towards the hill here becomes Of
Importance, and there Is good reason
TO believe that Reed has not himself
determined upon his course. A prom.
incnt Western republican silver man,
member OF tho coinage committee and
friend OF tho speaker, said the bill
would go 10 the coinage committee and
would be reported 10 the House.
III the bill IA not reported within
reasonable time u motion will 10 male
10 discharge the committee aud take
the I'LL up for action In the House.
The speaker has II In his power 10 be-
great stumbling block In tho way Of
action and for this reason his attitude
IL IA subject OF intense interest.
