BLUFFS DON'T GO.
The anti-silver people who are trying
to persuade the president to veto the
seigniorage bill have made bad blunder.
A delegation of them in visit to the
white house conveyed the impression
that if the bill was signed the eastern
wing of the party in congress might 60
over to the Republicans and defeat the
pending tariff legislation.
"Do understand yoa to say that they
propose to force me to veto this bill un-
der the threat they will not pass the
tariff billa"
The speaker of the delegation tried to
explain that he did not mean that any
threat was implied. He had only mem
toned as significant that there might be
a delay in the passage of the bill, but as
for himself he did not believe that Demo-
cratic members of the senate would de-
feat the tariff measure, however badly
they might feel about the Bland bill. The
visitors breathed easier. Each ono of
them felt, from the way in which Mr..
Cleveland took the suggestion, that we're
any open threat made to seven" up with
him on the tariff bill the seigniorage
measure would have been a law just as
soon as the president could have attached
his signature to it.
