CONGREGATIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-SENATE
ingalls, reviewed the history OF
gold and silver standards and said
that gold was the most treacherous
OF metals. Nobody fought great
battles with it. 1t was treacherous
and staggering and impudently
claimed the fruits of victory. He
discussed resumption, which he
said would never come, because
there was not coin enough and be-
cause the people were not welded
to coin. He denied that the bonds
were payable in gold alone. The
East was arrayed against the West
and South combined in this matter.
1t was the bondholders against the
bondpayers. The West and South,
in asking the passage of this bill,
asked less than they would ever
ask again. He was astonished at
the moderation of the West when
he thought of its services.
Allison took the floor to close the
debate and made an able argument
in support Of the bill. He said this
demand for the reconciliation of
silver is not local in character;
does not originate in the West or
in the Mississippi valley for the
purpose of securing paper circu.
latipg medium, but has the appro-
baton of the best minds of all
civilized countries and is just now
exciting as deep an interest in
other countries as in our own. Nor
does this demand originate in pet
ty malice toward the public cred
itor. That question is of minor
Importance compared with the
great interests of all the peo-
pie of all civilized States.
Those who favor this bill
do not propose TO violate any pro.
mise or tarnish or impair the
public credit, but rather desire to
establish it upon. an enduring
foundation by increasing our ablli-
ty to pay according to promise the
