The changes do not affect the material features of the bill, which provide for the coinage of the silver seigniorage in the Treasury, the issue of silver certificates thereon if need be, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, in advance of the coinage, and thereafter the coinage of the remainder of the bullion as fast as practicable, and the issue of. silver certificates thereon to take the place of the Treasury notes issu.d under the Sherman act, which are to be retired and canceled as rapidly as the coinage takes place. The changes made in the substitute simply make specific the fact that the seigniorage is t< be coined, and that this bill shall not affect the redemption of the treasury notes under existing law. An analysis of the vote by which the bill passed shows that 141 Democrats. 19 Republicans, and 7 Populists (total 167) voted for it, and 10 Republicans and 50 Democrats (total 130) voted against it.
