WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-W. NJ. Springer.
Of Illinois, chairman of the house CON-
mittee on coinage, says:
| There will be no compromise on
silver repeal. If the senate does not
pass the repeal bill there will be no
repeal Of the federal election laws. and
no tariff legislation"
Springer has been loking into the
! question whether the passage of either
| Of the silver repeal bills would restore
the absolute free coinage act of 1887.
He concluded revival of the clause
fixing the amount of silver in standard
silver dollar might possibly be con-
strued as warranting unlimited coinage
Of silver by the secretary Of the treas
| ury.
Springer consulted Carlisle, who ex-
presses the opinion that free coinage
would not result from the passage of
either bill. He said if silver men
thought so let them pass the bill and
settle the matter in the supreme court
IN THE SENATE.
