reform from the first of 1874, when the

SENATOR KEs1sS BILL

The currency measure prepared by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, in some
respects, more nearly approaches the
wishes of the people than any
thing yet offered in congress. It pro-
vid1s for the coinage of silver and in this
it meets the wlsl-s of large majority
of tie people of the country. Many will
think that this feature should be limited
TO the product of American mines, but
that can be arranged by amendment
The silver question has ceased to be a
partisan one and the coinage of the
white metal is endorsed by a majority of
the members of each political party.
Whatever other ideas may be entertained
in some quarters can be fought out after
wards, but just now all recognize that
the restoration of silver is of prime
necessity in order that business may go
forward and the nations credit be pre-
served.
Under the bill there are to be no more
coin certificates of any kind issued, and
the secretary of the treasury is forbidden
to receive either gold or silver bullion
for any purpose.
Outstanding silver certificates are to
be redeemed in silver coin and gold GER
tifcates in gold coin as long az the gold
in the treasury shall be in excess of
00,0O0,000; but when that limit is
reached they are to be redeemed in sill
yer or gold at the discretion of the sec
rotary
The secretary is required to coin all
bo G,,TI
man law; also the seigniorage thereto at
tached and use it in paying government
expenditures. The most Objectionable
part OF the bill, however, is that it pro-
vides for maintaining the 100000 coo
gold reserve by selling five year 3-per
cent bonds
A recently suggested idea is incorpor-
ated in the last section of the bill and
that is that when silver bullion is brought
to the mint for coinage the difference
| between the market value and the coin
age value, if any, shall accrue to the
government as seigniorage and shall be
coined and used for expenses.
gress have become alarmed at the re-
ports that Mr. Cleveland will call an ex-
ira session, and will try to do something.
Moreover it is their desire to fight the
next national campaign on the tariff issue
and that will be impossible unless the
silver question is removed. The only
way to remove it is to pass free coinage
law.
AS it has been the custom of the senate
to pass free coinage bill regularly every
two years. Mr.. Vests bill will probably
pass that body at least No one can fore
tell what the house and the president
would do with it. 1t is rumored that Mr.
Cleveland feels that he has discharged
his obligations to Wall street and that he
is now disposed to consider the welfare
