CURRENCY PROBLEMS.
Ex-senator FarveIrs Startling Plan to He
Ileye tho Situation.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-The Committee on
Banking and Currency has received COM
munications from various parts OF tho coun-
try containing suggestions with regard to pro.
posed changes in the financial system OF the
Government which are pending before tho
committee One Of them is from ex-senator
C. b. Farwell OF Illinois. whose propositions are
rather startling. In the first place. he thinks
the Government should take up all Its green.
backs and circulating notes OF every kind.
He says that the Government has issued cir
culating notes twice only in its history-dur-
ing the Revolutionary war and during the late
rebellion-not to furnish q circulating me-
dunn. but because the Government was I'M
able to borrow money. 1t has always been the
function OF banks to furnish paper money.
The National Bank act was passed. Mr.. Far
we'll says. not to provide a financial system.
but to enable the Secretary OF the Treasury
to get $500. 100000 out Of the banks. The

Irresistible fun that bore the change OF coun-
try we'll Our people have not had since

Standard, after the manner OF come OF the
jovinlty We get from the land Of P,mch. but
hit the mirth mark with quick and almost
constant strokes. Moreover. 1t had m moments
Of pretty sentiment and even suggestions of
almost serious interest: SO that IL might be
properly termed a farce-comedy. II that torn

slightly dramatiaed variety shows as to have
lost Its true meaning with our public. There

they applauded heartily at the end OF every
act. and all their demonstrations had the
sound OF spontaneous sincerity. We may pre-
Ter native farcicality rather than the British
article. as a rule. but here Is q positive excep-
tion and the fact that 1t ls British will doubt
less add fashionableness to its popularity.

The characters and incidents are punched

He FInds that tho Repeal Bill, n Paase,

He rInds that tho Repeal Bill, n Passed,
VIII Revive the Free Coinage Act or 1sB1.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-Chatrman Springer Of
the Banking and Currency Committee thinks
he has discovered that should tho Wilson or
Voorhees, Repeal bill become q law tho Coinage
act OF 1887. under which there was free coin
age. extending from that date to the demon
citation act OF 1873. would be reestablished
as the law OF the land. He fastened to the
Treasury Department to-day and laid tho
matter before Secretary Carlisle. who has re-
served his decision. The facts were explain cd
by Mr. Springer to Secretary Carlisle as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Sherman act repealed so much Of the
act of Feb. %. 1873. entitled an act to author
lie the coinage OF the standard silver dollar
and to restore It's legal tender character as
requires the monthly purchase and coinage Of
the same into silver dollars OF not less titan
two million nor moro than four million dol
lars worth OF silver bullion" In place OF
this 1t provided for the purchase OF 4.50O.-
600 ounces Of silver. and 1t is this pro-
vision which the Voorhees, bill. now, pending In
sos q Fee rem and
passage Of the Voorhees, bin would establish
the following portion of that act as the law of
there shall b coined at the several
rs provided in the act Of Jan. Ia. 1887. on which
shall be the devices and representations pro-
vlded by said act. which coins. together with
all silver dollars heretofore coined by the
United States of like weight and fneness.
shall be q legal tender at their nomina value
for all debts and dues. public and private. ex-
: cept where otherwise expressly stipulated In
the contract
This reestablishes the act OF 1897. without
imposing any Limitation upon tho amount OF
silver dollars that shall be coined. Section "A
Of the act Of 1887, which is thus revised. says:
:" That gold and silver bullion. brought to the
Mint for coinage. shall be received and coined
by the proper offlcers for the benefit OF
the deposition" There Is q provision that not
less than 500 worth shall be received as such
deposit. Otherwise It Is FREQ coinage law
pure and simple. This view Of tho case has
been questioned heretofore during the prog
ress OF the debate. but the facts here set forth
day. Mr.. Springer said this afternoon:
1T seems to me that blunder has been
made. and we have narrowly escaped enacting
q FREQ coinage law. Certainly were either tho
Wilson or Voorhees, bill to be passed as 1t now
stands. we should be acting under the pro.
visions OF the law Of 1887. and II there should
happen to be free coinage Secretary OF the
Tressury he could 80 construe 1t: It strikes
me that the Voorhees, bill will have to DO
amended SO that the entire first section Of the
act Of 1873 is repealed. In addition to the pur-
Ohasfng clause OF the Sherman law"
