THE FORTY SIXTH CONGRESS.
SENATE.
WAeHINsroN, December II.

WAeHlNGToNi december ~.
Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, intro.
duced a bill to repeal certain per-
msnent annual appropriations. Re-
ferred.
Mr.. Morgan offered the following
resolutions:
ReSotved, That the continuance of
the existing volume of United States
treasury notes, Nitis their legal ten
der preserved, and TIE msirteua nee
of their equivalency in value with
coin, is demanded by the present ne.
ceesties Of trade, commerce and in
dustry, and that the full restoration
OF silver coinage 10 equality with gold
is necessary. to secure to the people
of the United State sufficient and
permanent supply of money to secure
our national prosperity.
Mr.. Morgan in speaking oil his res
olutiou said it might be- unwise to
proceed too rapidly TOWARD a con-
summation of the policy which was
theoretically acceptable that our
present prosperity was likely to
prove temporary; should we be obi
ged to buy largely abroad We would
need al. the good sound money we
possessed and probably more; that it
was unwise to withdraw any OF the
currency.
Mr.. Morgan declared among other
things that the Greenbacks were kept
at par by the known power and will
OF the people to pay them in gold.
1t there ever was a time when they
should have been deprived OF their
legal tender quality it was when they
were below par. The present raove-
ment for their demonetizt alton was
in the interest OF capitalists and it
was likely that attempts would be
made to coerCe a great political par
ty into aiding the movement under
the thai otherwise tho, capitalist
would throw great many cities and
States OF the Union into the camp OF
the party that bad always supported
monopolies against the people.
The Senate then held a short ex-
ecutlve session, and when the doors
were reopened passed among Others
a bill to authorize free entry Of the
prizes won by American citizens in
foreign countries.
Adjourned.
