rnE BON SILVER BILL.

The Senate substitute for the House
bond bill passed the Senate last satur-
day by the decisive majority Of 43 TO "a.
The bill provides that the mints shall be
open to the coinage Of silver dollars Of
4l2J grains troy Of standard silver upon
the same terms as gold, and when such
silver coins shall be received into the
Treasury certificates may be issued there.
for as now provided by law. The Secre-
tary Of the Treasury shall coin standard
silver dollars as prescribed from the sill
YER bullion purchased under the act Of
1890, and the difference between the
price paid for such bullion and its coin.
age value shall be used in the payment
of the current expenses of the Govern
ment and for the purpose Of making such
difference Immediately available as
money, the Secretary is directed to issue
silver certificates against il. No national
bank note Of . denomination Of less than
$40 shall hereafter be issued and all out.
standing notes Of 9 less denomination
shall be redeemed and cancelled and
notes of larger denominations issued 10
their stead. The Secretary OF the
Treasury shall redeem the United States
notes commonly called R~reenbacks. and
also the Treasury notes issued under the
sct Of 1890 in standard silver dollars or
in gold coin, not ct the option Of the
holder, but exclusively at the option Of
the Treasury Department and g~reenbacks
when so redeemed shall be reissued.
The passage Of this act would obviate
the necessity Of issuing bonds. 1t would
place the finances OF the country on a
bimetallic basis instead Of the single gold
standard. II would enhance the prices
Of nearly all the products OF the soil and
the workshop. release the country from
the ~strangling grasp Of the money power
and make our State one Of the most
prosperous in the Union.
But what will the House Of Represen-
tatives do with the billi That House
IL composed Of 356 members, Of whom
pa are Republicans. II, as Nevada Re-
publicans tell rs, their party is in favor
Of free coinage, ii will pass the bill, but
if, as Senator Jones says, the party is
unalterably opposed to free coinage, it
will not. As it is Of paramount impor-
tance to everybody in the State to have
the bill become . law it is devoutly to be
wished that every Republican Of note in
Nevada will petition Mr.. Reed at once
to let the bill 20 through the House.
With such an act on the statutes the
people could divide. according to their
interests or prejudices, On minor issues,
feeling assured that the country would be
prosperous, as compared with it's present
condition, whichever way the majority
inclined.-Reno Journal.
LATER-A Washington dispatch OF the
9th inst. says, At l 2:30t the Clerk of the
Senate announced the passage in the Sem
ate Of the free coinage substitute for the
House Bond bill. 1t was referred, IN
der the rules, to the Ways and Means
Committee. A motion to concur in the
Senate free silver amendment was made
by Crisp (Dsm.), but the committee re-
fused to do so-every Republican and
two Democrats voting against concur

Senator John P. Jones, voted with the
Democrats in the Senate Finance Com
mittse for the purpose of enabling that
committee to report the House tariff bill
with = free coinage amendment thereto.
By this means Republican Senators who
are in favor Of tariff and also favor the
free coinage Of gold and silver will be
able to accomplish both by voting
for the proposed measure. We hope
none Of the mining States Senators will
be found voting against the bill as now

ASIA rs RUNNING Us.

The following is Q portion OF . speech
Of Senator Stewart Of Nevada, delivered
on January 9. 1896:
ALREADY the French and English Con-
suls have reported to their Governments
that IL nothing can be done to e9ualize
exchange the manufacturing Of the West
ern World will be transferred to the ORR.
emit. This is the unanimous testimony Of
learned men who have investigated this
subject. Our Consuls, OF course. dare
not say so much, but they report facts
upon which you can predicate your con-
illusions. The cotton planters have not
understood what allied them. Cotton is
coming here from India, and it will soon
be coming from China. China is able to
produce good cotton. China and Japan
can manufacture cotton enough TO sup
ply the world. Cotton has been devel-
oped in India, 20 that instead Of being
out Of the market Isdia is shipping now
about $50, 900, 900 worth Of raw cotton.
Cotton industries are growing up all over
the world.
THE South thought they had a mo
uopoly Of cotton; that is not true at all.
The Asiatics can produce cotton at prices
that will starve the people Of this couu-
try TO death. We have come in compe-
titiGn with the Asiatics in the production
Of cotton and the price has gone down.
$50 it is with wheat. A bushel Of
wheat is produced in India for two ru-
PEGS. a dollar in their money. 1t is sold
in Liverpool for an ounce of silver, which
has been the price Of wheat for q hundred
years there. That ounce Of silver taken
back to that country is worth over 81 30,
and il has the effect of 81 80 in their
products. When an American sells q
busheI of wheat in Liverpool for an
ounce Of silver he takes il back to this
country and gets 81 cents"
With the above statement Of facts,
il is one OF the wonders Of this century
that the farmers Of the United States
(of whom there are IS. 200, 900, as stated
by Senator Tillman in the United States
Senate last week. will deliberately assist
in cutting their own tbroats by voting to
perpetuate this nefarious system. By
the depreciation OF the price Of silver
the people Of the mining States are suf-
fering fearfully in consequence, but IL is as
nothing in comparison to the plight the
farmers are in. And as q matter
Of fact, the people Of the mining
States and their representatives in both
Houses of Congress. have been the real
agitstors Of the question for the past
twenty years, meeting defeat after de.
feat, but fighting heroically for what
they knew to be right, until at the present
time the question Of bimetsllism against
gold monometsllism is being agitated in
every State and Territory OF the Union.
However, the question as to who the
honors belong in keeping up the good
eight is neither here nor there now.
What is necessary is for the farmers, es-
pecially those farmers east OF the Mis-
souri, river, to get together in the coming
Presidential election this Fall and elect
a man for President who will be in favor
of restoring to the people Of this country
the money Of the Consultation.

The strength of the spirit Of indie

The Coinage of silver Dollars.

Mr.. Bryan and his friends say that
the characterization of silver" in
1873 is TO blame for the low prices of
wheat and other agricultural products
which have prevailed in recent years,
because the refusal of Congress at
that time to authorize the coinage Of
the standard silver dollar has caused
an appreciation in the purchasing
power Of gold: hence low prices.
They forget to say that the farmers
of this country and the people gener-
ally have enjoyed many years of pros
perity and high prices since 1873, and
they particularly forget to say that
since that year our government, so
far from manifesting any hostility TO
silver, has coined more than fifty
times as many standard silver dollars
as had been coined in the whole pre-
yious history of the country. Here
are the exact figures. which we take
from the official publications of the
treasury department:
From 1893 to 1905 there were coined
/ .439, 517 silver dollars. From. 1895 to
1896 no silver dollars were coined.
From 1886 TO 1873 there were coined
