Points Or the Talk Over the Missouri
Stafesmnn's Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.-Among the
speakers on BANDS seigniorage bill We're
Mckeighan, who said it was a step in the
direction of free silver. and therefore he
endorsed it, and Hartcr, who opposed il for
the self-same reason. I.arter said there
was little place for sentiment in the dis
c;:ss;on Of this bill. but an abundant op-
portunity for the exercise Of common sense.
The United States had bid goodbye to the
coinage of silver. That question bad been
settled and, he hoped, was not to he re-
opened by Democratic congress. The
question ought to be settled in n business
manner. There was n safe and easy way
out Of the difficulty. There was at present
n deficiency in the revenues and an in
crcase Of expenditures.
There We're three means Of relieving the
treasury, any of which would suffice. The
first was to reduce salaries - per cent, in
Guiding members q: congress. The sec
0nd was a duty on sugar which would
provide :s5.ON,0C0. n further increase of
the whisky tax to sl.Ta gallon which
would furnish san.ooO.co0. an increase of
the tax on beer to X. and duty on tea and
ccfIec. A tax of oIe-.e;i;h of q cent per
cup on tea and coffee. he said, would Weld
a revenue OF s.9.ooo,oO0. The third meth
cd he proposed Was by the negotiate ion of a
shor. time loan. In speaking of the coin
ace of silver Har.e- called attention to the
fact that in iwenty-four hours the value of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Naval authori-

Of sentiment. The public wouldn't listen
to their being condemned and broken up.
They were kept on duty just as Great

justification for such patch work if il
were not for the popular sentiment for
preserving Farragut's old flagship" The
law provides that no repairs made in
