Silver Men Intend to Hold Out for Silver
BullIon Coinage.

Silver Men Intend to Hold Out Tor Silver
BullIon Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Jan 1S.-Seuator Teller the
leader of the silver men in the senate, IN
discussing the situation of the treasury and
the talk of legislation for its relief SAID to-
day that the proper solution OF the problem
was to be found in the Coinage of the silver
bullion IN the treasury.
at is bad policy he said, ITO borrow
money when the government has on hand
and lying idle material from which money
can be made. What the country wants is
more money, not more gold aud paper; and
S50,O1O,OOO could be added Immediately to
this fund by issuing certificates against the
segniorage of the silver bullion now in the
treasury. This could be followed by the
coinage of this bullion 1t is ! know,
claimed by some that the law under which
this bullion was accumulated requires that
it be held in the treasury in sufficient amount
TO redeem the certificates issued against il,
but this is a mistake. IL requires that the
certificates shall be redeemed in coin, and
under the practice Of the Treasury depart
ment in redeeming the certificates in gold it
is evident that it is entirely unnecessary TO
hold SO much silver IN the vaults of the
treasury for this purpose"
Mr.. Teller thinks the secretary has au-
thority 10 begin the coinage of this silver
bullion which amounts 10 about $40, 900, 900.
He expresses the opinion that If the secre-
tary does not choose TO exercise this preroga-
tive congress Will adopt a measure making
the authority explicit and putting II beyond
question. From what the silver advocates
in both houses of congress say, il becomes
every day more and more apparent that they
viii antagopizc any proposition for further
legislation regarding bonds by an effort TO
first secure the coinage of this bullion. and
they are generally OF the oriniou that such
a asubstitute would stanu better chance Of
becoming q law than would d bond bill.
Does Not Like The Idea.
Representative Oates of Alabama opposed
the issue He said: Il think the people OF
this country are generally opposed TO an in
crease Of the public debt unless there Is
great necessity for il aud ! do not believe
in this instance such necessity exists. 10
be sure, money IS needed Dut there is no
reason why the surplus SILVER should not be
used. The purchase Of silver mas ceased and
i may be accepted as settled that there is
70 bC no further increase Of silver money in
tits country for some time al least. But
IL certainly cannot be the purpose Of the
administration TO ahanuon the silver we
a,ready have. The use Of this silver sur
plus does not Involve the question OF free
coinage Of silver or the continued coinage Of
silver. Is involves merely the question Of
using that silver which we have already
accumulated
