Would the President Veto 1tP

According to previous agreement, the
/ Senate tomorrow will vote on the
I seigniorage bill Ifit should be passed
would the President veto it, He has a
/ very good excuse for doing so without
/ committing himself against the coinage Of
/ the seigniorage.
The bill is defective in that it is open
to the Interpretation that it authorizes
the Secretary OF the Treasury not only TO
coin the alleged seiguiorage Of SO. 156, 5S1.
but also 10 issue, in addition. tnat
amount fsilver certificates. The inten-
I ton Of the great majority Of
members OF the House who
voted for the bill was that only
the seigniorage should be coined
The attention of Mr.. Bland the author Of
the bill, was called U the defect
in the bill, but he denied there
was any, saying that no such interpreted
ton as that suggested was possible. He
said the language of the bin was "A mere
question of style" and the bill was
rushed through, although Mr. Bland
could have permitted it to be amended so
as TO relieve it of ambiguity if he had
been so disposed. It's a question whether
he did not desire to have it as it is, so
that the volume of the currency could be
increased So. 1000 coo more than was in
tended He is such fanatic as regards
cheap money that any suspicion of this
kind seems iustihable.
The bill authorizes the issue of 500. 156.-
6sl Of silver certificates before the seigu-
forage is coined. The language of the
bill is that the certificates shall be issued
as fast as they can be printed. If these
certificates, together with another batch
of a like amount which it is believed the
DILL authorizes, should be issued, we
should have a big lot of paper money to
keep at par with gold, and only SlO6, 600
600 Of gold TO do it with We have now
outstanding 1916 OOO,O Of old greenbacks,
Sl53,00000O of treasury notes, S2O7 900 600
of national bank notes and S33S, 600 600 of
silver certificates. We have. besides, in
circulation 500 900, 600 of coined silver dol
lars, making in all Sl,C99 OOO,O $50 If now
the seiguiorage bill should become a law,
and not only the $53. l56. GSl of silver GER
titicates, which it certainly authorizes.
but also like sum in certificates which
it is believed it authorizes. should be
issued, we should have afoat more than
$1,000 100000 Of what is substantially all
paper money. Could that amount of pa
per money be kept at par with the gold
we have in the treasury:
If the President has any doubt on that
question he is likely to veto the seignior-
age bill, because he Is unalterably COM
mitted to sound money The only thing
that might make him hesitate is the
threat that a veto of the bill would cause
a split in the Democratic party. AS al
ready stated, however, he might regaru
the fact that the bill has doubtful
meaning as good ground for vetoeing it,
and that reason might be accepted as sat
isfactOry, even by those who are heartily
in favor of forcing the country to a silver
standard
