Tie BelriDE Sea Negotiations Now Nearly Completes. - SEALS WILL HE PROTECTED. Special by the California Assocuthj Press. Washington, May 12, In the sen ate to-day, Plumb introduced a bill for the free coinage of standard silver dollars. The foot note attached to the bill says this will not interfere with the present privilege of obtaining silver certificates for silver dollars, deposited in tho treasury, so that the convenient floating of silver can be continued as now, if tho bill becomes a law. At one o'clock, the silver bill came up as unfinished business, Jones of Nevada took the floor, and made a long address on the bill. He was given undivided attention, as it is rcc omiized that he is the best posted man on the silver question, in tho sen ate. Jones cited from a number of tables, showing the relative difference in value of a silver dollar in 1873 and 18S8, from which it was proven most conclusively, mat the price of silver, instead of a decrease in value since 1873, had actually in creased, also that in 1873, 412 grains of silver bought 1.84 bushels of corn, while the same amount now will buy 1.97 bushels, and thnt notwithstanding the f.ict that this hilvor was in bullion form uncoined, this is also said of wheat, cotton, mess pork and in fact these comparisons might be applied to all commodities in so at the present day. It is not of so much importance to know how much gold can be bought with so much silver, but how much of tho nec essaries of life, snch as food and clothing, can bo obtained, that is what the working people of this country want to know. Jones said there was no value in money itself, no matter of what it vent nuiflo frnld. silver or nnner. It was onlv of value owing to tue fact j ot a piucny nine woman on xear that human appreciation or estima- Creek who last December filed on a tion, had recognized in it, qualities of claim in a rough section of country, such a nature as to render it of value, The snow was deep and it was dif if adopted, or set up as a standard ficult reaching the locality, but the doKir of the countrv.
