MEXICAN MONEY.
A Congressional Act Of Pioneer Days
Creates FurOre in silver
Circles.

Washington, Feb. 15.--An old law has
been discovered on the statute books by
free silver men, which they declare gives
them ground to hope that they can bring
aboIt t, % silver in an indi.
a SwcJ throl . use of Mexican
dollars. The law was passed in 1857, and
is section 1867 of the Revised Statutes. 1t
is as follows:
"The pieces commonly known as the
quarter, eighth and sixteenth of the
Spanish dollar shall be receivable at the
treasury of the United States and its sew
eral offices and at the several postotlices
and land offices at the rates of valuation
following: The fourth of a dollar, or
piece of two reals, at 20 cents; the eighth
of dollar, or piece of one real, at iC
cents. and the sixteenth Of dollar, or
half real, at CENTS"
The section following provides that
the coins shall not be reissued from the
treasury, but shall be recoined into
United States coins. The law has never
been repealed, and silver men in con-
gress assert that it is possible to send
the metal to Mexico for coinage, reim-
port it into the United States and pre-
sent it at the treasury. They assert that
the validity of the law is beyond question,
and point to the statute resurrected by
Secretary Carlisle, which practically com
pels the treasury to redeem national
bank notes in gold, as evidence that there
are more intricacies in the monetary sys-
tenn than have been realized.
The first step, the silver men say, is to
secure a construction on the law from
competent authority. They fear that At
torney General Olney will rule against
them, and are trying to devise plan to
secure an opinion from the judiciary
committee of the house.
Representative Hartman, of Montana,
has introduced resolution intended to
bring the matter of the old Mexican sill
yer law to the attention of the house and
serve as an opening wedge in the discus
sion of the question. If not reported
from committee within six days the
resolution will be privileged and can be
called up at any time. 1t calls on the
secretary of the treasury to inform the
house what proportion of the receipts
since February l, 1895, have been paid in
the coins mentioned in the law, which
provided for their receipt at the treasury

Responding to the resolution of the

manning unacted upon.
THAT BOND DEAL.
On the financial question Senator Tel
ler said the president had given no de-
tails as to the contract with bankers. The
ways and means committee of the house
had been trying to get at the facts, but
had not yet found out the names of all
the parties interested in the bond con-
tract. few months ago our bonds sold
easily at less than persscent interest. 1t
could not be possible, said Mr.. Teller,
that the utter lack of tact of the treasury
department had forced up the rate of in
terest from less than 3 per cent to 81
per cent interest when the last bonds
were much superior to the former ones.
If their bonds were selling at such n
handsome profit in London it showed
that the credit of the United States had
not been so disastrously impaired as the
president sought to make the country be-
lieve.
Senator Aldrich Republican, of Rhode
IslandO then introduced resolution call
ing on the president to send to the senate,
if not incompatible with public inter-
ests, a copy of the contract between the
treasury and certain bankers for the pur-
chase of bonds.
