senator Morrill, moved TO indefinitely post
ponc the special order for 5:3J d. m being the
consideration OF house concurrent resolution
No ~. memorializing congress TO repeal IN,
limited silver coinage law OF congress and fol
the repeal OF the national banking law
which motion prevailed Senate Journil 1879
page 49,.
Our attention is called to thi.
record by Judge DOster. and the
judge suggests that if Major Morrill,
was opposed to some OF the matters
alluded to in Senator'S Kinks reso
luton, as, for instance, the repeal oil
the national bank law, this cOnsti.
tuted no reason for the refusal &c
consider the others, such, for in
stance. as the free coinage of silver.
Judge Doster's point is well taken.
Major Morrill, was at that time, as
he is now, Il champion of the money
power, ana opposed 10 all the meas
urcs specified in the above rcsolu-
tion.
LAST week We said that il the sill
yer plank in the Republican party
platform means anything at all, it
means change Of the legal ratio of
silver and gold. That change in
wolves the rccoInago Of every silver
coin now in existence at direct cos I
OF ovor $112, zoe, Oll. 10 involves,
also, the production OF much
smaller number Of dollars, half dol
lars, quarters and dimes than we
now have. The rccoinage Of this
81 yer would require at least seven
years TO complete IT. In the mean
time the existing silver coin must be
withdrawn from circulation, and the
currency Of the country further con
tracted to this cXtcnt. The Topeka
Capital says this Interpretation is
correct Now, il the Capital would
tell us how much more one OF tho
new enlarged silver dollars will buy
than one OF those We now have. who
will DC benefited by The change. and
how the benefit viii DC brought
about. VIC shall be quite happy.
