THE SILVER BILL.
Further Testimony for and Against
Free Coinage.

Further Testimony for and Against
Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. = Before the
House Coinage Committee to-day the ex-
animation of Newlands was completed.
j. s. Moore, the ''Parsee merchant" :"
made a statement to the effect that it was
not the demonetization of silver by the
United States which caused the decline
in the value Of silver, but the smaller de-
mand for silver in India and the larger
supply of silver due to importations and
the improvement in transportation
among the Indian provinces.
Bartlne closely questioned Moore, and
called his attention to the fact that the
statements were in conflict with the testi-
mony before the English Royal Com
mission, but Moore insisted that his state
mentS were correct, nevertheless.
William H. Beck, who is engaged in
silver mining in Montana, opposed free
coinage on the ground that he be-
neved the present law, which took
fiftyfour million ounces of silver an
nually out of the market and locked it
up, was better thing for the silver men
than free-coinage, under which all the
silver would be on the market. He did
not think with free-coinage legislation
one could raise the price of silver bullion
to it's coin value. He read letter from
Ex-Governor White of Montana, express
ing qualification at the fact that free-coin-
age could not pass this Congress, and de-
claring that free-coinage would be a great
disaster to the silver industry. The SEN
timent of the people, the letter said, was
changing. If Congress was to pass
free-coinage law, he insisted that it
should be provided that gold dollars could
be exchanged at the Treasury for silver
dollars, and vice versa, and if either
metal went up or down the Government
should stand in the breach and bear the
loss.
