Silver Coinage Is Of That
Nature.
But No Question 10 to he Compared
With It In Public Inn
portance
The National Banking System Will sosn
Pass Awsy-silver Demonstized t.
Suit tho West.

WASHINGTON. May 3D. Tho senate calsn-
dar was laid aside at two O'Clock and ths bill
to provide for the free coinage of gold and
silver Was taken mp. There were then about
dozen senators on saoh side Of the chan-
Der. Sherman had been In his seat for ths
preceding half hour. waiting for the bill TO
be taken up. Teller and Stewart we're also
present. in frequent consultation. Sher-
man prsfaosd his speech on the silver bill
by saying be did not regard II ~ partisan
measure. or political measure on VII ich
partisans are likely to divide. II was large
~ local measure. No question is TO be-
compared with il in the importance Of it,
effects On the business interests Of the
country. He went on TO defend tho Anan-
cial actisn Of the republican party and his
own part In IL.
In passing allusion to the national bank
ing system, Sherman said those banks
would soon pass away, not because they are
not the BEST banks in the world. but b.
cause the United States bonds. on which
thsy rest, would be paid Of. He insisted
that the system fully justified itself. The
di iscontinuation of the coinage Of silver
dollars in 1873, and the substitution Of the
trade dollar, was made upon the representa-
tions Of California and other silver states
who wanted to transport silver to Ohina.
The only trouble about the law was that
senators could mot sss ahead. II il had
been known that silver was going TO fall %
rapidly a. it did he would have kept the
silver dollar and put it on the same footing
- fractional silver. The Suspension Of sill
yer coinage BY the Latin union and in
creased production have given great blows
to silver. It 10 not true that he 10 un-
friendly to silver.
Sherman then went on to denouncs the
bill under coAsidoration % a wrong TO tho
American people In principle, in detail. in
every respect. fraud on the creditor, .
deception to the debtor, and tho demoneti-
zation Of gold. "Ths very threat Of the
free coinage Of silver" he said. ''is doing
more than anything slse TO disturb the bus
mess interssts Of the country"
Al this point Sherman yielded to q me-
tlon to adjourn.

WASHINGTON. May 3l.--Ths cabinet meet
ing to-day was attended by all the members
except Secretaries Blaine, Elkins and Fos-
to-. The two last named are out Of The
city. At the state department il
was said Blains's failure to attend
Was probably due to the fact
that he 10 busy at the department with
matters accumulated during his visit 10
New York. Al the White house NO siRnifi-
canoe whatever Was attached to his ab-
sence, for the stated reason that it was not
generally known that the president had
returned to tho city. and also because
NO notice was given that there would be q
meeting. II was said further that there
was no formal meeting. 1t was also said
the reason no cabinet meeting was called
was that the president was fatigued after
tho trip to Rochester, and had no import
ant matters to present for consideration.
The foregoing statements we're not volun-
tsersd. but were made in answer to inquiries
a. to the probable cause Of Blaino's failure
to attend what 10 erronously supposed to
have been regularly called meeting Of the
