! The SPEAKER said that the gentleman
/ from Georgia, Mr.. Stephens, had not Weld
ed the floor for that motion
Mr.. SPRINGER asked Mr.. STEPHENS
ments TO be offered Cries OF Mo-
"Now)
Mr.. STEPHENS The country. as well
as the House, has had this bill before it
quite long enough.
Mr. GOODE. We are ready.'to vote, and
If the House does not sustain my motion,
then it will be in order to move to offer the
bill or To lay it on the table.
Mr.. STEPHENS, having an hour to
clcse the debate, divided the debate into
small portions, ranging from halt minute
to eight minutes, in which several mem-
bers expressed briefly their views on the
bill, with the privilege of enlarging on
them, and having tn ir speeches printed in
the Record"
Mr. BLAND said the bill had come back
from the Senate in mutilated condition.
The question was, whether TO take the bill
as it now is, or by nonconcurring, probably
d, feat legislation On the subject, and:he
was, therefore, in favor of concurrence, but
he gave notice that the war should never
cease so long as he had voice in Congress
until the rights OF the people sh ould be fully
restored, and the silver dollar alongside of
the gold dollar While he voted for
the present bill, he protested against
it, but let Congress take wha,
it had, and supplement it Immediately by
action on the appropriation bill, but if II at
could not he done he was in favor of paper
money to strike down the bOndholders.
Mr. EWING said that nine -tenths Of the
American people demanded the coinage of
the dollar Of their fathers, making il le-
gal tender. They wanted silver remouetiz-
ed, the product OF this country. The peo-
pie bad right 10 expect their rep
rssentatives TO stand firmly in right
ing the great wrong that
had been done by the rasca!ity acts OF de-
This bill as it came from the
Senate said that only S24 O00,O 900 should be
coined and left at the discretion Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, the most inveterate
enemy of the silver dollar on the conti- |
nent. K Whether the country should have |
more than S2i,0OO,0O0 to pass the BILL in |
l..
lbsurdity by declaring that the deb, should
De paid in silver and by the very
'ame act practically stripping the country
II two-thirds of its silver with which to pay
heSe debts. That absurdity would be
by authorizing the President to
END commission Of gold men 10 Europe
o piPe-lay with foreign creditors for the
purpose of wrestling from the people the
'etty concession now granted.
Mr.. SPRINGER asked unanimous con.
ent to have the discussion continued an
lour longer. (Shouts OF mo-
Mr.. cox, (N. y. asked Why it was that
ince the passage of the bill, gold had gone
lown and United States bonds had gone up
