AMERICAN CURRENCY.
REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN
ACT.
Washington, August 29.
In the House of Representatives, on the announcement of the division on the Bill to repeal the Sherman Silver Act, a scene of the wildest excitement took place, and there is now a universal belief that the Senate will be coin-
pelled to pass the Repeal Bill.
The secretary of the Treasury has ordered the mints in Philadelphia and San Francisco to coin gold to their fullest capacity. The defeat of the ratio amendment is regarded as fatal to the hopes of bi-metallists. Though (Senator Vorhies' Bill is in favour to some extent of bi-metallism, it is believed the silver men will now endeavour to force a compromise between Vorhies' and
Wilson's Bills
