Mr.. Warner gave notice that he would ask q
vote tomorrow at o'clock. The House was
addressed by Mr.. Buekner in support of the
bill, except as to the eighth section, providing

not only of coming the silver dollar to the
increasing that capacity. Though the present

the representatives of the people. The policy

''BULL; GOLD AND BEAR SILVER,

ing the silver bill. At the time of the passage
of that bill it had been predicted that remone.
tization would destroy our credit, depress our
bonds and restrict the refunding process. Not
one of these predictions had been verified.
Now those predictions would again be made,
and with the same result, and the friends of
this bill would be denounced as lunatics and
financial mountebanks

of holders. He was, however, opposed to the
present bill because it gave the profits OF
coinage to speculators, capitalists and bull
lion holders. 1t was

in the interests of those bullionists. The evel
recurring, never ending disposition on the part
of Congress to interfere with the monetary
tariff and revenue laws was cause of disquie
in every individual interest in the country
which was another reason for his opposing the
bill. Had it not been for these continued eff
