Jones finished his great speech on the
silver question last evening, utter speak.
ing six hours in NIL. Ho waS listened
to with remarkable attention by every
Senator. No speech OF this session Inns
attracted such marked interest, md few,
indeed, of any session. Much OF its Of.
feet was lost owing to the fact that he
read from proof slips instead of com.
hitting it and delivering it off hnnd.
Nearly oil Senators congratulate l z him
at the close, md for several minutes lie
received quite IN ovation. Sherman,
Chairman Of the Finance Committee,
subsequently congratulated him in open
Senate with warm words Of praise.
The Now York Tribune shys of it: The
elaborate speech Of Jones raises tho i'm
pertinent and difficult question whether
it is desirable TO raise the double
standard which England departed from
i'll 1916, and Germany is trying &c
abolish and to which Latin nations still
adhere. 1t is no argument to say tina
the reason Jones thus argues, is because
be is Interested in silver mines. An III
telligcnt public is likely 10 take side,
with Jones, but without provision tina
the smnll notes. shall be first retired
the bill so deliberately defined by Jones
would probably prove Yalueless. rlu
