    SILVER REPEAL IIS
A DECISIVE BALLOT.
Th M easurt Psssad tbaHou By Toti
of 13 lo 94, and Boon After Wat
Signed By th President,
Bllver Buyiug Stopped.
Th ilve r f. ght it ended. Tbe bonft cl
Wednesday t 2 5"i p. m., concurred in It
senate amendment to tbe unconditional
repeal bill and it wat passed by Vote ol
1S3 yrea to JI nay a.
Tbe President signed the bill at 4 3t
o'clock. It was brought to tba Whitt
House by Representative Albert J. rearton
of Ohio, chairman cf the bouse commute
on enrolled bill. Secretary Carlitle and
Attorney Oeneral Olney were present
When Mr. Pearson presented the bill to tbl
I'reaident, Mr. Cleveland immediately took
up bit pen and wrote these words In the
lower left band corner: "Approved, Novem
ber I, IK ?!, ('rover Cleveland," and tba bill
became a law.
Xli significant feature of the final strug
gle in the House was the determined pur
pone on the part of a smail faction of the
Iemorrntic ailver men to harass tt t meas
ure and to obstrnct its passage, but tbeii
e Berts were not more consplcuou tban wai
the fact that they were not able t induce
me third of their following to Join in this
dilatory movement. The silver men. not
withstanding the certainty that the bill
would pals, were able to command 'I votes
paint it on the final r'Pi(.
Ttie bill having bren forced before the
House in a sudden and abrupt manner,
which so turprised the silver lilibusterert
Uhat they really did not understand what
had happened, an hour wns allowed for
lie bate. This ttti occupiedon the silver
tide by Mr. Uland, of Misaouri;Mr. ltryant.
and Mr. Wheeler of Alabama, and on the
Iiemocraticsid by Mr. Wilson, of West
Virginia, and Mr. Trsrey, of New York. On
ttie Kepublican side Mr. Heed alone spoke.
As soon as the silver purchase ripeal bill
was signed Socrelury Carlisle telegrMphed
to all the mints not to mnkv any further
I urchases of silver. Of the silver offered
on Wednesday, one dealer declined to accept
the coun'er offer of tn.'!." cents. Two lott
aggregating 50,000 ounces had not been
tieard from, iind urless their owners reply
by telegraph at once the silver purchase
tndertho Sbermun ac-are closed forcer.
The amount of Sherman notes outstand
ing is tlCiVil'.i, 000. With silver purchand
t'Ut not yet delivered, this amount may b
increased 1700,000.
EFFECT OF THE REPEAL-
It Stopaths Purchase ol Silver Except

The repeal of the purchase clause of the
Mieriiiau act, which went into eOect bv the
signature ol the President, puis a stop to the
fuiiher use ol silver m the way of mcreas.

a sudsidiary coin. Tbe iortioii not repealed
ot t ue t in i mail law leaves it discretionary
with the .Secretary ol ttie Treasury to coin

seigniorage before it it coined, there wilt he
thai niucu of an addition to the ailver coin
age of the country. Hut it will take live years
to coin the bullion now on bund.
There is no authority of luw now to pur
chase any more bullion except for use as
subsidiary coin. For that purpose there can
be an increase of a good many million dol
lars. Hut as the treasury is now loaded down
with vi:i,000,ouu of subsidiary coin, which is
very much worn and needs to be recomed,
ami as the mints will be occupied in coining

based for any purpose lor a good while to
