A COMPROMISE PROPOSED
So That the Silver Question May Be SETTLED
by this Congress.


Mr. Cleveland's anxiety to settle the silver
question before the end of this Congress is Ii
able to result in a compromise in the House.
The anti-silver men see, as the time approaches
for the Andrew bill to be brought up in the
House, that the silver men are organizing for
a very determined opposition. and they
are anxious about the result Of tie fight.
Therefore a proposition coming from some
of the less extreme silver men, through Liv-
ingston Of Georgia. for compromise is favor
ably received by many. The proposition is that
the purchase of silver under the present law be
stopped; that all the silver bullion in the treas
ury at this time be coined, and that hereafter
the government purchase no more silver, but
coin two millions month Of American product
on presentation at the mint by the owners. the
coins to be taken away by the owners and not
to pass into the possession Of the government
through the mint.
