GREAT TALK ONSILVER Senator Sherman pein guint the | Stewart Amendment, The Army Appropriation Bill Dis-| cussed in the House. | | INSTRUCTING THE MILITIA.) THE SENATE. Mr. Morgan (on behalf of Mr. Colquitt) gave | notice of an amendment to the financial bill abolishing the tax on state banks. House bill authorizing the removal of the charge of desertion against Dudley Johason, Inte ordnance sergeant, U.S. A., was passed, | | with an amendment providing that Johnson shall not be entitled to any pay by reason of this action. | A bill was passed authorizing th@;onstruction | of a bridge across the Red River of the North | at Drayton, N. D. MM. SHERMAN ON FINANCE. The Senate then resumed consideration of the financial bill, Mr. Sherman taking the floor to speak. The amendment,be ecid, was a radical propo- sition which changed the whole character of the bill and excited his feelings somewhat. He | thought that under the circumstances he was | {stifled in all he said the other day, and what said then he repeated now. But now he wished to discuss the measure as a business question which affected the rights and prop- y of every citizen of the United States. wouid be perceived that the amendment | ‘was a proposition that the Unit | ay $1.29 for every wer bullion th: part of the worl The United States was not at liberty to_pay for that bullion in silver coin or silver dollars, of which it had £300,000,000 in the treasury, but the option was entirely with the holder of the bullion to demand coin or bars or treacury notes. There was no option left to the | treasurer. ‘Tho price was fixed and the holder | of the bullion would take the most valuable | mode of payment.which probably was treasury | note. ese notes were mises to pay | money and were legal tender for all debts, public and private. | ‘They were made the ighest standard of valu In some respects they were better than United States notes and beter than silver ce-tificate: So that not only was the United States to purchase all the bullion offered at ounce, but it had no option us to the mode of ‘ment. The option was in the hands of the owner. Nir. Stewart inquired whether the same law did not apply in regard to gold. A PREFERENCE TO SILVER OVER GOLD. | Mr. Sherman replied that it did not. This Propored measure ‘was much broader, as be would presently show. This gave a preference to silver over gold. Not only thie, but (whether intended or not) this amendment was offered in sucha way that it was not open to further amendwent. The price was fixed at Todey the value of silver in the markets of the world was something | about £1.05 an ounce. Here was an offer to pay 24 cents an ounce more than the market There was another feature of this prop- | tion, which was that the silver was to be | formed into coin or bars, at_the option of the | owner, “without charge.” There could be no deduction made in the mint for the expense of fitting the silver for coinage. It was true that under the law gold was coined without charge. Bu: there was a charge for part- ing and preparing and stiffening — the | metal—adding the proper alloy. de- positor of gold bullion was linble to a dedue- tion for these charges. But under this meas- ure the owner of silver bullion was subject to no charge whatever. The bullion was deposited and coined or made into bars without charge, no matter in what form. The silver was pre- sented; it had to be worked over. Pare deposited was sometimes more difficult than | that containing alloy, because the alloy must be | added to it. At the minimum (according to | the director of the mint) the cost of refining | and coining silver was 2 centsan ounce. These | 2.centa were paid by the United States to. put into shaj ullion deposited, for which it ounce. He id the other day is proposition would tend to change the standard of value of all property in the United States and that in time it would demonetize gold. Thereupon the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) had made the remark that if the free coinage of silver would put gold at a premium, would soparste the tvo totals ead would change the nature of contracts he would refuse to go further in that direction. He Qifr. Sherman) said now, in all sin- cerity, that if he believed that the free coinage of silver would enable us to main- tain the value of silver bullion up to that of gold, he would vote for free coinage today. But if it were admitted that silver could not reach gold except by the government paying a bounty to the producers of domestic silver, did not think there was any danger of this measure passing. If it were admitted that a parity between gold and silver could not stand except by the United States standing as a pur- chaser in the world, he did not think that this was a thing that ought to be aimed at.
