THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1878

THE redadetization of the lar is almost accomplished.

"FIVK o'clock in the morning" will be all the dearer to the popular heart, now that it is known the senate passed the Bland hilver bill at that auspicous hour.

HERE and now the GAZETTE offers its Uncle Samuel two dollars for one of the first million of the new silver dollars that is to be. The GAZETTE wants it for pocket piece.

WHY does not John Sherman put his 4 per cent, bsnds on the market here? Lots of people here would like to have them but they don't want to walk to Washington logetthem.

LET MI. Ross take heart. He may find- Charley ye^. He has not been, stolen as long as the silver dollar—bright and beautiful child of the dads—was, and yet it has been restored, though the robbers have not been punished.

EVERY" fellow who is executed for tnurder expresses the belief that lie goes hence to glory. Wh) not hang us all, —New Albany Ledger-Standard.

But one distinction will remain Jbetween gold and silver if the silver Vill, which passed the Senate on Saturday, is adopted by the House, and receives the signature of the President. According to the bill, silver bullion will be purchased by the Government in open market and coined into dollars of 412)4 grains, ihe profit «f the process Accruing to-' the Government. Besides this itis provided that not less than

THE BLAND BILL.

$4,000,-

«oo may be coined in any one month. Gold ontthecontrary is free. Any one •may take gold bullion to the mint, and, paying a slight seigniorage which represents the bare cost of the coinage, may ihave it minted into money. It would ihave been better it' the original Bland btll as passed by the House had Feceived the assent of the Senate. It would have been better because it woulS have had a more marked tendency to •bring the two metals together in value than the present bill. But even this difference is more seeming than real, since the capacity of our mi ts is little if any over '£4,000.00 per month, and the bill

vyj.

providesi for

tha* much. It would be difficult there fore to see what special good would come ^of a bill which admitted of a greater coinage than the capacity ot the mint.

All that coul be coined under any circumstances—assuming that the mints would not be enlarged—will be coined anyway.

It is reasQnab'v certain that the Government, being in the market a buyer ofi about

$4,000,000

worth of 6ttver bullion

every month, the price of silver will advance. The GAZETTE beHeves and hopes it will advance to an equality with the gold. ft|ore and more each year silver is entering into une for mechanical purposes. 5 The United States is the great silver producing country of the world. It is doubtful if the total productofour minec equals

$50,000,000

per year- Not counting then the amount of silver used in the manufactures it will be seen that the Government is a buyer for the total product of our ffnines. Of course bullion will jgo up in price. This extra demand is a very great one. It will have an effect on the market greater than the Russo-Turk-ish «rar has had on wheat. With ail confidence, therefore, the GAZETTE predicts that if the bill which passed the Senate on Saturday becomes a law, we shaJl very soon see the two metals come together in va'.ue. On every accOunt this is to be desired. Just

SENATE.

The discussion on the silver bill began yesterday afternoon with a speech from Ingalls in favor of it. Allison in whose charge the bill was, closed the debate. Lamar had read the resolutions of the Mississippi Legislature instructing him to v®te tor the bill and gave his reasons therefor and stated his intention to disregard their instructions* Amendments of every conceivable character were presented, voted on and rejected. Substitutes were offered and voted down. And with every proposition the drivel of the debate drew its slow length along. The only interesting part of the proceedings was the conclusion which we give. —[Ed. GAZBTTE.] ,,
