THE SILVER QUESTION.

siderable Talking, But No Legislation.
Senator Dubois. of Idaho. says that the friends
Of silver do not look for any favorable legisla-
ton during the present session of Congress,
and that ia view OF the hostile attitude of the
President he does not believe any special effort
will lie made in that direction. the silver
men, he believes. will so far control the COM
miftces that they can at any time bring up a
free coinage bill, and il is likely that a num-
Der Of speeches in advocacy of such measure
will be made during the session. The wisdom
Of making prolonged fight with the full
knowledge OF It's hopelcssness, he says is much
doubted by the silver men. and it is altogether
likely that they viii content themselves with
reafirming their allegiance TO the cause rather
than proong the session when no substantial
good possibly can result. The Senator, how
ever is very positive ia asserting that no issue
OF bonds viii he authorized, other financial
legislation permitted without some substantial
recognition given to silver, nor will any meas
ure providing for the retirement Of greenbacks
pass the Senate. except silver he given an i'm
portant place in any scheme for preventing the
contraction of the currency. which necessarily
would be caused by such retirement. He there
fore does not look for any financial legisla-
ton at the present session.
Senator Chandler has introduced a bill pro-
viding Tor the unlimited coinage OF gold aud
silver in c0nnecl ION with other nations and
establishing the ratio Of 10 l5l. After pro-
vidiug for She coming OF bullion and the is
suing Of silver and gold certificates, the third
section Of the bill provides that the law shall
take effect aud BECOME operative when SINH
lar laws shall have been adopted by the Gov
ernmenis OF England, France and Germany,
which laws shall in substance provide for the
purchase OF gold aud silver bullion without
limit. aud shall make legal tender of the gold
