PROPOSED SILVER COMPROMISE.

A compromise of the silver question
comes from Georgia-that land of human
phenomena, Sam Joneses, electric women
and aspiring statesmen. 1t is in the shape
of bill which has been prepared by Rep
resentative Livingston, of Farmers AL
lance fame and may properly be en-
titled IAN act to provide for limited free
silver coinage"
The provisions of the bill are that the
purchase of silver under the present law
be stopped; that all the silver bullion in
the Treasury when the purchases cease
be coined, and that from that time for
ward the Government purchase no more
silver. but shall coin two millions a
month of American product on presenta-
ton at the mint by the owners. the coins
TO be taken away by the owners and not
to pass into the possession Of the Gov
eminent through c, mint.
Should this bill pass Congress 1t would
not prove a solution Of the silver problem
by any means. II would simply mean
that the owner of silver bullion could take
MS W the mint nave IL ca
changed into silver dollars at the rate
OF two million ounces a month This
would mean the addition OF about $751;
600 900 of cheap silver dollars annually
to our currency, which would In time
bring about the very evils that are now
being anticipated and feared. The supply
of silver money would each year grow
larger and larger. until, at length, the
Treasury would become so glutted with
silver that gold would be driven TO a
premium and disappear. and our last
state would be far worse than the first.
And what would this disastrous condition
OF affairs be brought about in reality for?
Only that the lucky mine owners might
receive a handsome profit on their silver.
1t is estimated that the cost of mining
silver In Colorado is IL cents per ounce,
while the price OF silver bullion is about
Is cents per ounce. This scheme OF Mr..
Livingston's therefore. would run the
risk OF driving the country into bank
ruptcy. only that the silver mine owners
might annually receive a clear profit Of
IS cents an ounce on 100000 ounces Of
their silver. or over 100 per cent. on the
