the Io.EoTEEn CONGRESS.
Tie present Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatt:es will probably carn the reputation,
before its final adjournment, Of having PROM
ised moro aud accomplished less thnn my Of
its predecessors. This is certain to 10 tue
cnso if King LAMAR md his Star-Chamber
Council of Thiltcdn cnn enforce the continued
obscryance Of the reprcssiye policy which has
been dictated thus fnr. There could not
hnve been palmer acknowledgment TINT tho
Democrnts fear to enter upon my legislation.
TO postpone it anl avoid itas long as possible
they have tsion m uupreccltntcdly long vaca-

and fnnl disposition. A mass OF bills have
been introduced, but thoy have been referred
rromiscuously to tile varions committees with
MI evident purpose Of Rmothering n majority
of them This inaction il not the result Of
any 1nck Of important matters for legislative
trcatment. There nro serious questions be-

part in tho full elections, md 1t is tho duty
Of the Democratic Congress to givo an author
itntive expression Of their party policy in
treating them. Tho currency question is the
most conspicuous Of these. II Is evident that
tho Democratic party must take ono
side or tho other in IN issuo involving tho
credit of the Government and tho CONNER
cial prosperity Of tie country. Which side il
it going to take? It is for tho Congressional
representatives Of the Democratic party to In
tlicate this, md tho country Is nnriously
nwnitng the result as u means Of determining
whether it ia sAfo aud wiso to transfer the en-.
tire control OF the Government into the hands
