EIGHT financial measures were in
troduced into the United States Sen
ate on Tuesday. OF these tne one IN
troduced by Senator Stewart " for
the immediate relief OF the financial
situation is the one which should be
the least opposed. Itprovides merely
for the issue of certificates upon the
bullion already bought This is but
to extend to the bullion the same rule
that has since 1878, been extended to
the coined silver. We see no reason
why any one should oppose this, ana
trust that it may pass speedily lor IL
would give immediate and suostan 4
tial relief to the CONSTRUCTED flnanclal
situation.
