Favor Free Silver.

WASHINGTON. Feb 27.-As a result
of an Informal talk between three demo-
cratic members of the committee on rules
Crisp, Catchings and McMillen-it was
learned a determination has been reached
to bring in a special order on the silver
question. 1t is determined to make
the Bland bill a special order for March
81 or %, though this date may be
changed. The purpose is to eive the bill
four days for consideration in the house.
Within this time it is to be debated and
brought to a vote. If necessary, because
OF flibustering. a rule will be brought in
to bring the matter to a vote. 1t IS the
purpose of the anti-silver men to fight a
special order of the rules committee at
the very outset and to eudeavor to defeat
it. A large number of the members of
congress conferred with the speaker dur
ing the day and all cav opinions on the
silver question. The senate had a long
interview with the speaker.

Endorses Free Coinage.
Digs up Some Interesting Facts

st. John Wants Gold and Sill
yer on Equal Basis,
Strong Free SILVER Advocate.

CHICAGO, Feb. GA notable affair
tonight was the annual dinner Of the
Chicago bankers club, a feature of which
was an address in advocacy of the free
coinage of silver by president VIM. p.
St. John of the Mercantile national bank
of New York. Free coinage and free sill
yer. he said, are common. but misleading
terms for the proposal to restore the coin
age system of the United States founded
under Washington, advised BY Hamilton,
recommended by Jefferson and ratified by
Jackson.
That system of equally unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver which it is now
proposed to reinstate was maintained con-
%tinuously for eighty n years, until over
thrown unnoticeably in 1873. And vet
no objections now are too paradoxical to
hail from one and the same antagonists of
silver coinage. st. John analysed tho
monetary conditions of continental Fur
ope as showing there the need OF silver
and the worlds insuficiency of gold.
If Europe should desire to discard her
silver. he said. the statistics of the worlds
consumption of silver at present, Includ-
ing our treasury absorption. would appear
to be in excess of the worlds present pro-
duction of silver. This, in spite of the
fluctuations of price, which reduced
IndIa's absorption by over ST., 900, 900
worth of silver during nine months.
He argued the proposed ixity of price
for silver at our minis would so enlarge
midas absorption as to assure the per-
manency of our law successfully. In
conclusion he said the proposed reopeniug
Of the minis to gold and silver alike, be
sides maintaining the parity OF the bullion
value of our dollars will provide the
automatic issue of money limited by the
mine product Of hard labor. The sole
alternative suggested Is inestimably a
capricious issue of the limitless legal
tender notes.
