iiLe the free coinage feature In tho original
hill. Tho amendment In that respect I
snnroye. Other amendments made by the
senate I do not like, but not . single one
Of them is Of such . character that I would
forfeit The bill on account OF IL. The grea,
obIect which / had In view, and which I
think the majority Of the House had In
view, Is accomplished by this bill. by II
the double standard Of value IL re-estab.
iished In this country. The dollar OF the
fathers il restored by Il. and silver 10 again
made money. That was tho great object
which I have aimed at from tho beginning.
The object was not TO make DO cents u dol
lar. but 10 make 4l2S grains Of silver
equivalent To 100 cents. which was the
dollar Of the fathers. i shall vote Tor oil
tho Senate amendments, lest We hazard
the great and important principle estab'
lished In the bill. now AK the previous
question:"

bill and amendments ON the table. The
