CAPITAL COKKKSPONDKNCK
Washington-, D. C, March 2, lStP
After a three weeks' contest, per- j
sistent, continuous and determined, the
Bland bill for coining the seigniorage
ami bullion in the treasury was passed
yesterday by a majority of thirty-nine
the vote standing 168 to 12. The
record shews that twenty-one western
republicans voted for the bill and Gfty
eastern democrats voted against it.
It is worthy of note that the three Ne
braska republicans followed the leader
ship and behest of Tom Heed and
voted with the eastern opponents of
bimetallism, and so far as any practical
result was concerned, Nebraska might
just as well have been represented by
the proxyof eastern gold mouometallists
as by Messrs. Meiklejohn, Hainer and
Mercer, notwithstanding the fact that
Hepburn and Lacey of Iowa,Broderick
of Kansas, Pickler and Lucas of South
Dakota, Sweet of Idaho, and Hartman
ot Montana stood up for western in
terests, against the rule of the big boss
from Maine. Mr. Bryan is entitled to
much credit for bringing these western
re: ublicans into line for the bill. In a
twenty-minute speech, on the 27th ult.,
he showed that eastern democrats were
independent enough to vote as they
conceived to be their duty in the line
of maintaining the gold standard, and
he urged that western men, without
reference to party lines, should act to
gether in the interest of bimetallism.
The passage of the Bland bill indi
cates that there is some hope yet of
securing legislation favorable to the
double standard. It is conceded by the
eastern men, notwithstanding their
stubborn resistance and continuous
filibustering, that there is no danger to
be apprehended from the Bland bill, in
the form in which it passed, as it
merely provides for the coining of the
silver bullion in the treasury as fast as
possible (about $3,500,000 a month) and
the issue of silver certificates as rapidly
as the silver is coined these certificates
to be used in paying the expenses of
the government. About $180,000,000
will be put in circulation under the bill.
There is no question but the treasury
is in great peril of having its gold de
pleted, aud a new issue of bonds may
be required at any time, under the rul
ing of the treasurer, which gives the
note holder the option of demanding
gold for his note whenever he chooses
to present it. To meet this emergency
Mr. Bryan has introduced the following
bill, which has been referred to the

a full line of Failles, Gros Grains, Aimures, Su

In the Uui'se or Kei'Ket.entative-', i
53d Con .ke, Second session. (
A bill to construe the law which gives
the secretary of the treasury the
right to redeem coin obligations in
gold or silver, at his discretion.
Whereas, An act entitled "an act
directing the purchase of silver bullion
and the issue of treasury notes thereon,
and for other purposes," approved July
14. 1SJ0. provides that uion demand
of the holder of any of the treasury
in tes herein provided for, the secretary
shall, under such regulations as he may
prescribe, redeem such notes in gold or
silver coin, at his discretion, it being
the established policy of the United
States to maintain the two metals on a
parity with each other upon the pres
ent legal ratio, or such ratio as may be
provided by law;" and
Whereas, This provision and other
similar provisions for redemption in
coin have been construed to mean that
the secretary of the treasury has no
dipcretion, but must redeem in that
coin which the holder of the obligation
demands, and
Whereas, Such construction violates
both the letter and the spirit of the
law, destroys the principle of bimetal
lism and places the treasury at the
mercy of any who may conspire to re
duce the gold reserve for the purpose
of forcing an issue of bonds, therefore
be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives ot the United S'ates
of America, in congress assembled,
That all obligations heretofore r
hereafter incurred by the government
of the United States, whether such
obligation bear interest or not, which,
according to their term?, call for pay
ment in coin, shall be payable in gold
or silver coin of present weight and
fineness, at the discretion of the secre
tary of the treasury, and the right of
the holder of any such obligation to
demand payment in any particular kind
of coin, whether gold or silver, is here
by expressly denied; and that the
secretarv of the treasury is directed to
maintain gold and silver coin on a
parity with each other upon the pres
ent legal ratio, or such ratio as may be
provided by law, by receiving the
same, without discrimination against
either metal, in payment of all public
dues, customs and taxes.
Of course when this biM comes be
fore the house for action it is to be ex
pected that it will bring on a gr6at

New York, who represent the money
loaners of the east will go wild, and de
clare that this means repudiation; but
let them howl. It is the law now, and
its passage is the only hope thecountry
can have of compelling Wall street
pirates to loosen their hands from the
throat of the country. Let the fight
go on. 1 1 will develop who are the real

Nebraakn City News.
For some time the republk-at papers
have been telling how all the manu
factories have been closing down and
how the Wilson bill had stopped all the
wheels of progress. Somehow these
papers have failed to learn of the many
factories that have started up during
the past week or ten dys. The News
has not attempted to keep a correct ac
count of the factories started, as told
by the telegraph, but here are a few:
At Pittsburg twenty additional pud
dling furnaces at the Woods Run plant
were put on double turn; the Sligo
steel mill resumed, as did also the
Oliver Iron and Steel company; there is
an increase in Carnegie's mills; the
UnitedStates Glass company increased;
Jones & Laughlin's mills are working
double time; the United States Tin
Plate and Sheet Iron company is in
creasing its capacity; II. Sellers McKee,
the glass manufacturer, has contracted
for three twenty-pot, continuous tank
furnaces to be added to his table plant.
Cincinnati comes forward with the
announcement that on Monday lat
eleven of its factories resumed opera
tions, with a combined force of 3,970
men.
The Hyde iron mills at Pittsburg also
resumed, with a force of 1,300 men.
The Madison car worts at East St.
Louis, with 250 men, has resumed
work.
The Gallatin Manufacturing com
pany, largest spoke and handle factory
in the south, has begun work on full
time.
The above resumptions were found
in the telegraph columns of a parer is
sued iu Omaha Tuesday last, and are
not a week's accumulation. The
country has again entered upon an era
of prosperity.
Here is what the St. Louis Republic
say s of our young congressman: "That
deservedly popular young man, Repre
sentative Bryan of Nebraska, who is
always pleasing and utterly unspoiled
by the fame which has come to him,
has become the most popular speaker
in the United States. He will leave
here tomorrow to undertake a tour of
places which has grown to be as big a
route as one of Patti's farewell concert
tours."

HIGH I'KIKST OF (iOI.I).
William E. Gladstone is the worst
j enemy bimetallism has in the wide
; world, lie is the worst because he is
! the most powerful. For forty years
lie has been the autocrat of political
j finance in Eugland, and England has
J been almost autocra'ic in the finance
I of Europe.
Ever since the surprising aptitude
for finance he exhibited in his first
budtret, Gladstone has been the author
ity. Whether tories or, liberals were in
power, Gladstone's services were held
in higher esteem than those of any
other man.
His school of finance has been that
of London investors. Other opinions
he has changed, but in money questions
he has had a set of rules without varia
tion. The retirement of the liberal leader
from public life may be a gain for inter-national
bimetallism. Balfour is
an aggressive bimetallism Archbishop
Walsh has produced an effect on the
Irish members. Roseberry is allied
with the Rothschilds circle, and the
Rothschilds have such extensive con
nections with all the nations that they
have been for a long time growing
anxious about the debt-paying abilities
of the continent under the continuous
contraction of the gold standard.
Finance and currency are much less
partisan in England than in the United
States. It cannot be said that an elec
tion will bring bimetallism or postpone
it. The influence of Gladstone has
been scarcely less uuder atory ministry
than when he was premier. Hence his
withdrawal may permit a more serious
consideration of a rehabilitation of sil
ver than has been obtained before in
England, 'and the change may come as
quickly before as after a new election.
Georoe A. Macbeth, the well
known glass manufacturer of Pitts
burg, is reported credibly as having
made the following statement: "A
great cry against the Wilson bill comes
from the manufacturers of window
glass, plate glass and iron. The Wil
son bill will not have a detrimental ef
feet on any of these industries. With
the finest equipped factories in the
world and fuel remarkably cheap lying
at our doors, our successful competition
will easily follow under its provisions.
Immediately upon the passage of the
bill the present feeling of uncertainty
will leave us and trade will revive
again and strike a more equal balance
in its process of distribution. I can
see the silver lining and good times for

In .Nebraska it is libei to hang a man
in ertigy, the person libeled being he
whose ellijy swings 'n the wind not
he who makes the halter draw. It is
no bar to guilt if the person libeled be
a member of the Cleveland cabinet.
Even if he be the most unpopular of
secretaries of agriculture, this agricul
tural state giver, him the fu'l benefit of
the majesty of the law. In a word, the
man. or men who a few weeks back
strung up the stuffed image of the Hon.
J. Sterling Morton thereby incurred the
penalty of the law of criminal libef,
which in Nebraska is a fine of $500 or
six months' imprisonment in thecounty
jail, or both, in the discretion of the
court.
Good, old Spartan Nebraska ! We
advise Mr. Cleveland to take an appeal
from the national verdit to that state

Among many other mysterious dis
appearances which have of late bereft
the republican party of most all its
working capital is the justly celebrated
"home market." But a few brief and
fleeting days ago it was the cynosure
of every eye. the repository of every
hope and the backbone of a successful
republican campaign.
But where is that home market now?
It has gone from our caze like a beau
tiful dream. It flashed before the
vision for a moment, a brilliant and
meteoric razzle dazzle, and then, hav
ing accomplished its mission, it van
ished, vamoosed to the eternal camping
ground, and now slumbers in the cold
and silent eirth besides reciprocity,
American tin, and the numerous ot&er
frauds and fakes with which the re
publican party has beguiled the
country.
