THE T4CTTN no BE COINED

Mr.. Bland prevails At last, after weeks OF
Democratic incapacity and consequent delay.
His bill had Us votes in lis favor less han
quorum. but the Democrats who had tried To
save their party from the discrcdit of passing
such a measure weakened at last and declined
to abstain from voting. so that they finally per-
mitted the act which the large majority OF Dem
ocratic members had demanded Amendments
were defeated and the bill went through with
out really redeeming notifications. though even
Mr. Bland himself consented TO offer and sup
mort n substitute designed, in the language of
Democratic dispatches, "to accomplish the
same object in a less Objectionable way 1t
was the object which was moro offensive than
the way to men who care for honest money.
The very essence of the bill is 10 break public
faith with holders of silver notes, who were
guaranteed by law that the exact amount OF
bullion received for their notes should always
be held against them. In its very essence too,
il is an ignorant BILL because it is based on the
assumption that larger issues of silver notes
will in some way do good, though many millions

n dangerous bill, because, should il become Il
law the entire body of silver certificates in
circulation now 33OOOO0OO in amount. might
become diScredtcd and not available for orli-
nary uses
The performance IS dishonest also. if il is true
that the House has passed Il bill so bad in the
belief that the Senate or the President Will XII
IT, But recently dispatches stated that 1t was
quite uncertain what the President would do
with the bill and il seems reasonable 10 infer
that some of the notifications i'm form which
Mr. Bland proposed were intended in part 10
avoid the Presidents objections. The Senate
has all the time been n most uncertain ana
dangerous body. on questions connected even
remotely with the silver fanaticiSm The meas

to imagine that some political if not some prac-
teal. advantage may be gained by Transforming
bars of bullion now held by the Treasury into
bags Of unused coin 1t is. therefore, by no
means certain that this foolish bill. with all rs
bad faith and all its possibilities Of evil. will
not become a law.
Nothing further was needed, as business men
know only too well. to increase dstrust and
financial uncertainty. The condition OF bust
ness is bad enough AT the best. but the Vacuum
bill assuredly will not help il in the least. For
the present. il is likely. little attention may II"
paid TO the measure. for there exists notion
