When the Bland seignioraco bill went
through Congress tho Register could not.
500 anything bad in it. 1t might be OF
no special use to the country, but it
could do harm. In the opinion Of our
neishbor nothing that is Democratic
can do harm. All it wants to know is
whether q thing is Democratic, and
party feulty does the rest.
When tho ISTELLIGEScER spoke OF the
apprehension lest the President sign
the bill or allow it to become Flaw with.
out his signature. the Register Of March
20, asked, what if he should, and pro.
ceeded with these able remarks on the
bill:

the currency. beyond increasing It's volume
comparatively small amount The Register Is
opposed 10 tho segnioragc bill. but is not afraid
beneficial. and the opposition 10 Il IS based less
on the provision OF tho bill itself than on the
sentiment behind It
This, of course, was very direct, lucid
and ediiyins. At that time the bill was
the Democratic thing. Now the veto
becomes tho Democratic thing because
the friends Of it are not strong enough
to carry it over the veto. So tho Regis.
Ter jil.s the Democratic Congress and
makes right up to the Democratic Pres
ident. This is what appears in the cdi.
torial columns Of the Register Of March 80:

not have been expected 10 sign this bill. the bad
tf<cA OF which he has so clearly pointed ont In
his veto message.
After hearing from tho Democratic
Congress the Register thought the bill
harmless" After hearing from the
Democratic President, who in this,.ase
has the last guess. the Register thinks
the President could not have been ex.
pected to do less than veto bill whose
'bad effects he points out so clearly"
Ten days ago the Register thought the
bill. if it became law, could not shave
any special effect on the currency, be.
yond increasing its volume a compar.
atively small amount" Since the Pres.
ident has knocked out the ugly thing
with his veto the Register discovers that
"the imitation Of our currency with n
large amount OF cheap money at this
time -" would undoubtedly re-
suit disastrously TO our national
finances" .,as
This, to be sure, is world OF change,
but so great change in the short time
of ten days is not less than phenomc.
nal. 1t is also highly talented. We
welcome this belatcd convert to the side
Of honest money.
