WHEN the bill came up in the House
of Representatives providing for the
appropriating of 100000 for the build
ing of additional vaults in which to
store onr silver surplus, Hendrick B
Wright said of it: 1T is neither
proper nor polite for nation as much
in debt as ours to build vaults. in
which to store its money sohie its
de6ts are unpaid. Call in the bonds,
pay them IF in silver and cancel
them" Wen and properly said. But

the leaders oil. the Republican party is

metal which served the country so

not openly declare this purpose in

ommendation of Hayes in his message
and of Sherman in his report. -
