Morrill, lR.) of Vermont, offered an
amendment, providing that the seignior-
age equal to the difference between the
coinage and the commercial value of the
| silver shall be retained by the United
States. This was so fair proposition, he
said, that he believed it would be agreed 10
German recalled the appeal of the Pres 81
dent to Congress to remain here dur ng
the holidays and construct measure or
the Keller OF the treasury. The Senate
Committee, hostile to the relief, had re-
ported in favor of the unlimited coinage of
silver. 1t was, he said. impossible to have
this substitute become law prior at least
to March A. 1897. 1t could and would not
receive the sanction of the President.
Under the conditions existing in. the SEN
ate the friends of free coinage could not
agree upon any proposition. He therefore
moved that the amendment offered by the
Committee on Finance be laid upon the
table.
