When Mie first mud dled report of the i;c Chinese treaty was published Senators and Kepresent utives who fiivored the restriction of Chinese immigration took alarm. They thought it meant the undoing of all that had been done In the past ten years to shut out the torrents of Asiatic invasion. Acting on this idea, many of them criticised what they understood to be its provision, hut now that the toxt of the treaty is known there has been gome' thing like a revulsion of feeling. It now appeal's that the essence of the treaty is i m; cmiiiiiiKiinicni oi reciprocal relations between Hie two nations in regard to prescrih ng terms on which the people of one nation may resido in the other, mm ior exclusion wnero ciuicrmay deem it wise. It 1 ins long been known that the Chi- nwo wanted to remove the stigma of iinving ner people subjected to exclusion laws iind residence regulations by this country, to wire' t'-o neoplo of no other nation were nil.j, , and to which American, in China were not subjected. The lust ell'orts of Chinese diplomacy have for years been directed to securing the removal of what the Chinese rulers regarded as an invidious and humiliat-1 ing distinction. By this treaty this dis-1 tinction is removed. Bv it Chinese ami Americans are placed on the broad level ol equality in respect to exclusion from or residence in the alien country, CHINA'S AflllKEMKNT. To secure these reciprocal relations Ch ina has agreed to recognize the pres ent laws of the United States relating to Chinese as of full force and to cease pro testing against their enforcement. The President and Secretary Gresham, on the other hand, to remove the fric tion between the two nations and pro mote ro icrciul intercourse (for it is uixierslood a commercial treaty will fol low il this one lie ratified), have agreed to these reciprocal relations. The real question in the minds of many is whether nw guine is worm trie candle. Following is the fulltextof the treaty Wiikiikah, On the 17th day of Xovem tier, A. 1). 18S0, and of Kwangsii, the sixtli year, tenth moon, fifteenth day, a treaty was concl tided between the United Mutes and China Tor the purpose of reg' nhiting, limiting or suspending the conv ing of Chinese laborers to and their re.' idence in the United States; and Wiikiikah, The government of China in viy of.

Jn eases where by reaeon of sick ness oiother cause of disability beyond his control such Chinese laborer shall be rendered unable sooner to return which facts shall lie fullv reported to the Chi nese Consul at the port of departure and by him certified to the satisfaction of the Collector of port at which such Chinese subject thall land in the United States, and no such Chinese laborer shall be permitted to enter the United State, by land or sea without producing to the jiroper officer ol customs the return cer tificate herein required.

This bill con sinta of two sections, excluding the one wuicu merely appropriate, a stun lultl cient to carry the act into effect. The first section nrovide. for the hn mediate coinage of the iilver bullion in the treasury, which represent, the called gain or seigniorage which would arise from coining all the bullion on hand, which gain or seitrnloriife thl section, declare, to be 166,150,081. It direct, the money so coined, or curtlfl cates issued thereon, .hall be used in payment of public expenditure., and provide, that if the need, of the treas ury demand it the Secretary of the treasury may, in hi. discretion, issue .nvcr cer 11 urates in excess ol such coin age, not exceeding the amount of the seigniorage in said section authorized to be coined. , mud, a, iMiimuni y I our recovery nas nevertheless steadily known as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, is progressed, and though lesa than five no longer in force." month, have elapsed since the repeal of COINING TUB BKHAINDKII. The second .ection direct, that a. soon a. possible after the coinage of this seigniorage me remainder ol the bullion held by the government .hall be coined into legal tender silver dollar., and that they .hall be held in the treasury for the redemption of the treasury note. issued in the purchase or said bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redeniDtion of bhiu notes tney snail not be reissued. but shall be canceled and destroyed in amounts equal to tho coin held at any time in the treasury derived from the coinage provided for, and that silver certificates shall be issued on such coin in the manner now provided by law. It is, however, especially declared in said section mat tne act snail not be con strued to change the existing law. re lating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of the treasury note, issued for tho purchase of silver bullion to be coined. TIIK ENTIKR 1)11, L IS FAULTY. The entire bill is most unfortunately constructed ; nearly every sentence pre sent, uncertainty and invite, contro versy a. to its meaning and intent. The first section is especially faulty in this respect, anu it is extremely doubtlul whether its language will permit the consummation ol its supposed purposes. I am led to believe that the uromoters of the bill intended in this section to provide for the coinage of the bullion constituting the gain, or seigniorage as it is called, into standard silver dollars.' anu yet mere i. positively nothing in the section to prevent its coinage into any description of silver coin, now au thorized under any existing law. I sup pose this section is also intended, in case the needs of the treasury called for money faster than the seigniorage bul lion could actually be coined, to permit the issue of silver certificate, in advance of such coinage; but its language would seem to permit tne issuance of such cer tificates to double the amount of the seigniorage as stated, one-half of which would not represent an ounce of silver In the treasury.

In stating the other and more impor tant reasons for my disapproval of this section I shall, however, assume that stroy, the returning faith and confidence , under its provisions the treasury notes iDoucu in jjaiuicuv iur Oliver uuilioil win continue to be redeemed as heretofore in silver or gold, at the option of the hold ers, anu mat it when tney are presented for redemption or reach the treasury in any other manner, there are in the treas ury coined silver dollar, equal in nomi nal valnn tn anch trpnanrv iinlna than ... v..uv .Ma inv uiKca n ill uv in our sound financial tendencies, and that in consequence our progress to re newed business health would be unfor tunately checked and a return to our re cent distressing plight seriously threat ened. JIAINTAINKD ONLY BY CONFIDENCE. Considering the present intrinsic rela tion between gold and silver, the main tenance of a parity between the two stroyed and Bilver certificates to an equal metals, as mentioned in this law, can amount substituted. I am convinced mean nolhine less than a maintenance this scheme is ill-advised and damrerous, of such parity in the estimation and !

If both gold and silver are to serve us as money, and if they to gether are to supply to our people a safe, stable currency, the necessity of preserving this parity is obvious. Such necessity has been repeatedly conceded in the platform, of both political parties and in our federal statutes. It is now here more emphatically recognized than in the recent law which repealed the provision under which the bullion now on hand was purchased., DOLLARS OF EQUAL VALUE. This law insists on the maintenance of a parity in the value of the coin, of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all time, in the market, and in the payment of debts. The Secre tary of the Treasury has therefore, for the best of reasons, not only com plied with the every demand for the redemption of these' treasury note, in gold, but the present situation, a. well a. the letter and spirit of the law, ap pear plainly to justify, if they do not enjoin npon him, the continuation of such redemption. The condition. I have endeavored to present may be thus sum marized : First The government has purchased and now has on hand sufficient silver bullion to permit the coinage of all the silver dollar, necessary to redeem in such dollar, the treasury note. i.aed tor the purchase of said silver bullion, and enough beside, to coin, a. gain or sei?nioraire. 55.15U.681 additional stand- v .. .. ard .uver dollar.. Second There are outstanding and now in circulation treasury note, issued in payment of the bullion purchased amounting to $152,951,280. These notes are lesal tender in oavment of all debt.. public and private, except when other wise erpreasly stipulated: they are re ceivable for customs, taxes and all pub lic due.; when held bv bankinz anocia- tion. they may be counted aa part of their lawful reserve, and are redeemed bv the government in void at the notion of the holders. ADVANTAGEOUS ATTRIBUTE.. These advantaeeou. attribute, were deliberately attached to these notes at the time they were issued : they are fully understood by oar people to whom such note, have been distributed a. cur rency, and have inspired confidence in their safety and value, and have un doubtedly thus induced their continued and contented nae a. money, instead of an anxiety for their redemption. OBJECTION. TO THE BILL. Having referred to some incident. presented for gold redemption, or to be hoarded ior presentation at a more con venient season. A BKPUCTION OF OOI, D. The sequel of both operations will be a large addition to the silver currency in our circulation and a corresponding re duction of gold in the treasury. Argu ment ha. been made that these things will not occur at once, because a long time must elapse before the coinage anything but the seigniorage can be en tered upon. If the physical effects of the execution of the second section o this bill are not to be realized until Tar in the future, this may furnish a strong reason why it biiouiu not De passed to much in advance, but the postponement 01 us actual operation cannot prevent the fear and loss of confidence and the nervous prostration which would imme diately follow it. passage and bring a mm i it. worst consequences. I regard this section of the bill as em bodying a plan by which the govern' ment would be obliged to pay out its scanty store oi cold lor no other purpose than to force an unnatural addition of silver money into the hands of the peo ple. This i. an exact reversal of the policy which safe finance dictates, if we are to preserve the parity between gold and silver and maintain a sensible bimetaliam. I hope a way will present itself in the near future for the adjustment of our monetary analr. in such a compre hensible ana conservative manner aa will afford to silver it. proper place in our currency, but in the meantime J am extremely solicitous that whatever action we take on thi. subject may be sucn a. to prevent Km. and discourage ment to onr people at home and the de struction of confidence in our financial management abroad.

Secretary Carlisle has sent to the House a letter recommending an appro priation of 3,325 to reimburse the Bishop of the Greek Church of Alaska. This money was voluntarily contributed in 1801 to the church by its memliers on St. Paul Island, Alaska, and had been placed in the hands of an agent of the North American Commercial Com nan v for transportation to San Francisco, whore it was to be delivered to the Bishop. In view of the fact that the native, of this land were without suffi cient means of support the Treasury Department on the recommendation of the agent on the island directed that the money should be redistributed to the original donors, and it was expended in furnishing the people necessary supplies.
