WAsIIISaroN, Jan. lO.-The silver
ou,siion az legislative isfue has been
once more awakening the livelieet ap.
ntebenslous In both parties nj the Ns'
uonal capltAl during tho past few days.
TIls tonic has been the subject OF more
diseussion than tariff reform, but there
has boon suddenly manifested among
The Democratic members n disposition
10 prevent the silver question reaching
ratamount Issue 10 the prejudice Of
tariff reform. IL Ia said that measures
will be taken 10 stamp the financial
question ~ a secondary issue.
Representative Springer OF Illinois,
Senator Carlisle Of Kentucky, Senator
Palmer OF Illinois anu Representative
O,Neil OF Massachusetts, are few
Of the prominent Democrats who
aresaid 10 believe that tho best
,olutlOu OF the silver question lies In
an International agreement, and Will
favor the bill now being prepared for
the relegaiion Of the question TO an In.
terna,iOnal congress, to be held In
Chicago IN 1893. Such n disposition
Of the question by Congress would OF
course prevent the silver question be.
oomins harrassin issue In the COM
ing campaign, and enable the fierce
political battle OF 1893 10 he fought on
the burning issues Of tariff reform.
sPRfNoER's VIEWS.
Regarding tile course no. thought
should be pursued by the Dem ocratic
party IN this Congress on the question,
Representative Springer tonight told
an associated press reporter; "fhe
course | have heretofore pursued Ia
well known. l am blmetallirt, and
caunot support any policy which
would relegate silver TO the rear or
eliminate II from politics. On the con.
trary | would make II u great national
and International question, aud would
tc, II upon lines IN broad as pos
slblc, and Mt the earliest time
practicable. That which Ia desirable
and may be attained ought 10 be- the
aim Of all legislation. What then IL
Niainable during this Congress? DO
far rs silver la concerned II would be
next TO impossible for both houses 10
hgfee on silver bill OF ANY
Kind. Even should an agreement be
reached between the two houses and
securing free coinage, or making more
liberal provisions In that direction, the
President stands ready to interpose his
veto. Hence, no legislation upon this
subject, however desirable, eau be at
talncd.
This situation carries then to March
., 1873, when the present Congress
expires by limitations OF law. The
next Congress expires in Novem Der
next, will not assemble until December
Z, 1873. This IL the earliest time pos.
sihle 10 enter upon the confederation
OF m nsufes which may thereafter be |
enacted regarding the coinage OF all |
VET. Can anything no done Ia tho |
meantime 10 enable Congress TO reach n 4
proper conclusion OF the silver question |
when the time arrives at which pruc. |
ucabie lugislation may be entered upon? |

question Tor tue consideration OF Con. |
