Several senators are paired on the
question, but should every senator vote
the above is believed to be a fairly ac-
curate statement of the standing of SEN
ators.
AS will be seen the list of senators set
down for repeal contains several senators
who, as a last resort will vote for an
unconditional repeal. Some Of them
would much prefer to have the bill
amended, but should they fail in this
they are said TO be prepared for the un-
conditional repeal. One of the amend
ments proposed provides for the coinage
OF the bullion now in the treasury and
the Issuance Of silver certificates there
for Another amendment will provide for
the purchase of $500. 0O0. 900 or $500, 900 GOO
In silver, at the discretion of the secre-
tary Of the treasury, for coinage pur-
poses. BY the coinage Of the bullion now
on hand and the purchase of additional
silver the coinage of the United States
will be between S700, 900 900 and $500, 000.-
600. 1t is now nearly $500, 000. 600. When
the $500 900 900 shall have been reached
the coinage Of silver is to cease in this
country. The financial policy of France
which has a silver circula ton of 500. O0O.-
900, seems to be the model which many
senators are disposed TO follow. Then
too. the old Bland-Allison act will be in
troduced as an amendment. There will
be about the same amendments as were
introduced in the house for the increase
in the ratio.
Future silver Legislation.
Some important financial legislation by
congress seems really hopeful when the
silver purchasing bill shall have been
disposed of. The opinion is expressed by
Chairman Springer of the house commit
tee on banking and currency and Chair
man Voorhees, and Mr.. Allison Of the
senate committee that a law will take
the place of the silver measure now
upon the statute books. although its
enactment will in no wise be connected
with IT, The house committee on bank
.rfill nf aNsf
two weeks spend most of it's time I'm the
work OF devising a plan for an enlarge
ment Of the volume OF currency which
will meet the increase Of population.
