PA3SAS3 OF THE FINANCE .BILL.
The last session of Coogress cpcnt six
or sereo moiths io a vain endeavor to
frame a ioance bill having for its object
the resumption of specie pajnieuts.
Parties were about equally divided oo
the questions of contractioa or iufl ition.
A return to tbeir constituents geeais to
bare convinced tbe Republican Sen
ators, at least, that there should be do
great difficulties in agreeing on a finance
policy, and as a result we hare the in
troduction and passage ol a bill hj tbe
Senate this week, iu a less number of
days than mouths were occupied lust
session ia disoussion, without any practi
cal resalts.
The Senate jeiterdey tock up tho
bill reported by Mr. Sherman from the
Finance Committee, ''(o provide for the
resumption of fftc'.e pnymcats," and
passed it after a brief debate which only
served to show Diruocralio t pposition to
any measure of practical legislation.
Senator Sherman gave a clear explana
tion ot the bill which we annex as it
will aid our readers to a better under
standing of it. lie said:
The first section providing fur the re
demption of fractional currency wilh
oin met with the approval of both the
Secretary ot the Treasury and tho Presi
dent. The second section which re
pealed the law making a charge of one
fifth of one per jent. for conrcrtiDi.'
standard gold bullion into coin, required
a sacrifice on the part oi the Govern
ment to tho extent of "45,000 per an
num, that being the amount levied last
year upon those wr'o brought pold
bullion to be made into coin. The third
section of the bill provided for free bank
ing. Under the present law banking is
virtually free in some of the western and
southern States, but in great oomuicicial
centers of the country t was not Jroe.
This tree banking section, therefore,
provided for the enlargement of the
volume of currency ia case the business
of the country demanded it. It also
proposed to redeem United States notes
to the exteut of eighty per cent, of the
amount of new bank notes issued. The
sretion did not propose either contrac
tion or expansion of currency, leaving
it to be governed by the business wants
nf the nnmmimity Thr hill alsa provided
ample means to maintain and provide
for specie resumption, and no Senator
could doubt that if the bill became a
law specie payments would be resuaisd
on the 1st of January, 1879.
Senator Schurz objected to the bill
because it did not provide for tha des
truction of the eighty per cent, of leal
tenders redeemed, but left it discretion
ary with the Secretary of the Treasury
to reissue them. Stijl he would vote
for the bill because.it contained a pledge
to return to specie payments.
Tho Democratic Senators had the de
bate to themselves, the Republicans
voting down all motions to amend.
Senator Truman led in opposition, de
claring that "tinkering bills" would do
nothing for the business of tho country;
nothing but time, honesty, economy and
retrenchment would briDg back pros
perity. History, he averred, showed
that the business of the country never
revived at a les period thas four years
after a panio. He desired to amend
the bill so tkat part of the customs
duties eould bo paid in paper, but was
. voted down. Other amendments by
Democratic Senators shared a like fate,
and the bill passed by ayes 32; nays 1-1,
as follows;
TEAS
Allison, Anthony, BoutweM,
Carpenter, Chandler, Clayton,
Cngin, Edmunds, Kenton,
Ferry (Mich.) Frelinghuysen, Flanagan,
Hamlin, Harvey, Howe,
Ingalls, Logan, Morton,
Morrill, (He.) Ogleshy, Patterson
Schurz. Scott, Sherman,
Pease, Pratt, linmsey,

WATS,
Bogy, Cooper, Davis
Dennis, Gohlthwailo, linger,
Hamilton (Tei.)Jolins(on, Merriiuon,
UauBom, Sprague, Stevenso'i,
Thurman, Tipton.
Tho vote is a strict party one.
Messrs, Schurz and Fentou, Liberals,
voted with tho Republicans, and
Sprague of R. I , with the Democrats
Senators Cameron, Morrill of Vt and
Windom, who would have voted for tbe
bill, were paired with Senators Kelly,
McCreery and Norwood, Democrats.
It is believed the bill will pass the
IIouso after the holiday recess. It is a
compromise measure, as in the na'ure of
things my sicoeesful measure must be,
which aims at laying down a finance
policy acceptable to the whole country.
But there is one great gain by it, and
that is it lays down a policy which will
have the united Rapport of the Republi
can party, and every line of this policy
proposes a step towards specie resump
tion. The substitution of silver for the
fractional currency is imperative, aud
will commence immediatly. on the pas
sage of the bill. Tbe Secretary ot the
Treasury h authorized to eecuro, by
loans, tbe amount of coin necessary to
redeem the Ouveiuujtr. no ts in 1879,
and we understand the law to leave it to
the discretion of the Secretary when to
commence this operation. The redemp
tion of greenbacks as national hank notes
are issued is mado imperative down to
the Hum of $300,000,000, but it is not
necessarily su ended at that point.
Tho administration of the law by Prcsi:
dent Grant and Secretary Bristow, we
may be sure, will bj in the direction of
resumption just as fast ns it can be se
cured, without injury to the business in.

VEGETABLE SICILIAN
HAIR
RENEWEIt
Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. Vq can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard ; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring Gbay on Faded
Hair to its'Vouthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes whito and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonio properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes tho hair-glands.
By its use, tho hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores tho
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is tho most
economical Hatr Dbessing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives tho hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality ; and I
consider it tho Best Pkepaeation
for its intended purposes."
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
Price One Dollar.
Buckingham's Dye
FOB THE tv-HISKEKS.
As our Renewer in many cases re
quires too long a time, and too much
care, to restore gray or laded vv msli
ers, we have prepared this dye, in one
preparation; which will quickly and
effectually accomplish this result. It
is easily applied, and produces a color
which will neither rub nor wash off.
Bold by all Druggists. Price Fifty
Cents.

f0 THE CITIZENS OF PENNSYL
I VAN1A. Y'our alteution is specially
invited to the fact that the National Banks
are now prepared to receive subscriptions

hoard of Finance. The funds realized from
this source are to be employed in the erec
tion of the buildings lor the International

with the same. It is confidently believed
that the Keystone Stale will be represented
bj the name of every citizen alive to patri
otic commemoration of the one hundredth
birth-day of the nation. The shares of
slock are offered for $10 each, and sub.
scribers will receive a handsome engraved
Certificate of Stock, suitable for framing
and preservation as a national memorial.
Interest at the rate of six per cent, per
annum will be paid on all payments of Cen
tennial Stock from date of payment to
January 1, 1870.
Subscribers who are not'neai a National
Bank can remit a check or post office order
