THE SILVER BILL.
DEBATE IN TIE HOUSE.

Epecsal Dispatch TO The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-The House had
its first day Of debate on the Silver bill, and
MIR: Warner, OF Ohio, delivered set speech OF
the bill to amend the Coinage act which bears
his name. Mr.. Warner has tile reputation o1
being quite an authority on the silver question
has devoted himself to its study for years, and
is said to have library Of over . thousand vol
uines on that one topic. He is also the author
OF book recently published On the subject OF
the double standard. As the result OF these
facts he received more attention than is usually
accorded new member. His speech showed q
great deal of research, but the body Of the
argument was not well put together, an,l
he did not say new thing or put
an old Argument in novel form. He character
lied the act demonetizins silver as robbers act
which had been smuggled through Congress, and
insisted that it was
s. PuRposELY BROUGHT ABOUT.
He claimed that the single standard had Grip
pied the industries OF the country, and made it
impossible for labor to be profitable. he adyo-
cated at great length the bi-metallic standard,
aud maintained that the gold product of the
world is inadequate to do the worlds business.
He:was: foolish enough to bring parti-
sanshfp into bis speech, AND to ar
ralgn the Republicans on dead issues.
He sought to make the Republican party re-
spons'b'e for errors OF legislation which It has
already corrected. As an argument, the Ohio
silver mans speech, therefore, was
4 FLAT FAILURE.
Referring to the placing Of the per cent loan,
which was boasted 'of as, great stroke OF policy
bY Mr. Sherman, Mr.. Warner said he regarded
it as al evidence that there was no nrofit upon
the values and industries Of the country, for, il
there were, the people would have invested
in these bonds. The only people who were
making profits were the boniholters. He closed
by an appeal to repeal all laws in1nica1 to silver
