WOULD LOCK UP SILVER.
secretary Gage Would Discontinue
Its Coinage.

Washington, Jan. lift silver could
be locked up completely without dis
turbing the markets of the world, /
think it would be the most honest way
Ito dispose of it,
This startling statement was made by
Secretary Gage yesterday before the
house committee on coinage, weights
land measures during a hearing on Il
proposition practically to stop t he
coinage of all silver except subsidiary
lcoins. Continuing he said:
You complain all the time that the.
wicked money sharks discriminate
against silver you Disseminated
against it yourself first. The govern,
ment. in its legislation. seeks to dodge
the responsibility that rests upon it II

must set the example. To Illustrate
how the government does this, let us
take up the act OF March IA last The
house bill proposed to make tle two
metals interchangeable with each other
at the treasury. The senate amended
1T. Why? That ia the question that
every flnanciar man II: the United
States asks-Why? If you are afraid.
can you expect us to have more cour-
age than you possess? Do you expect US
to have confidence when you yourself
Will not lay down the basis of conf
#dence?
Therefore. since this condition exists
the redundancy of silver money accu-
mulating at the money centers Will not
be held with that confidence with which
gold iscarried. 1t will be sent into the
avenue of present redemption. This
avenue s the law which says that gold
and silver shall be received in payment
of all taxes and customs dues. This
makes silver the equivalent of gold, and
With the present stock OF silver money,
Ia large portion of which is absorbed
among the people. the probabilities are
that a returning volume of silver will
certainly set in toward the money cen
ters in times of dull trade. When this
occurs bankers find themselves embar-
rassed with a surplus of silver, and will
cause the silver to be paid in at the
treasury. The government might just
as well face the situation and meet this
silver with its right hand at the front
door as to take it with the left hand at
the back door
why would you continue the circu-
lation of silver dollars at all then 2"
asked Representative Cochran.

Vancouver. b. c.. Jan. 11.-Capt p. G.
Lockhart, correspondent of the London
Times in China, who accompanied Gen.
Gaselee's relief force. left yesterday
afternoon for New York en- route to
London. Speaking of the situation in
China he said:
II think that 50 far as Lii Hung Chang

observation leads me to judge that any
