would have a hearing before the committee
Of the house Of Representatives on Tuesday
April Is, on the bills to suspend the coinag
Of the standard silver dollars, and calling
conference Of delegates at Williams hote
in Washington City, for Monday April Il
was read.
Mr. i. F. Drake regarded the matter as o
great importance and argued against thc
silver dollar, maintaining that two meta
cuuencies could not standin the same coun
try. The poorer he said would always drive
out the better.
Mr.. Ansel Oppenheim argued that The
silver dollar was just what we wanted auC
that the fact that gold was going out Of tbs
country was not owing to the coinage of sill
yer but that wheat was lower In New Yorh
than it was in Liverpool. Silver money hc
claimed was used the world over while oul
paper currency was not and never would De
Mr.. James II. Davidson did not think il
would do to array ourselves against the silver
dollar, especially as the mines OF Montana
and Idaho produced large quantities Of sill
yer.
Alr. lngersou was not opposed 10 the coin
age Of silver but was opposed TO issuing sill
Yer dollars not worth more than ninety
cents on The dollar, while it took six dollars
OF silver to buy hYe dollars in gold.
The subject was finally referred to the mer-
camille committee

purchasing ltLe stump OF land 24A2, re-
CURED for the government army building,
reported through Mr.. VIM. Lindeke that Mr..
Peabody acted in q very selfish and obstinate
manner in regard to the matter and that
while the strip was not worth al the outside
more than $500, Mr.. Peabody. because he
thought the city was in a tight place and
had to have it, was unreasonable enough to
ask $4,000 for it, and would not sell for less
than that sum. Mr.. Lindeke denounced
shis as an outrage. The strip Of ground was
small and of no use, but Mr.. Peabody had
the chance now to drive a hard bargain with
the city, and was bound to do it. # the
stopping Of the government building de-
pended upon acceding to Mr.. Peato1y's fig
ures and paving such d swindliug price he
would say, without hesitation, let the build
ing go. he would not submit to such down
right eItOrtion.
Mr. Murray would not dispute with any
body about it being an extortiou. 1t was an
outrage for MIR Peabody to endeavor TO take
that amount out of the city for that little
striY Of land. Still he would not be in favor
king any hasty steps about it. Itwould
better he thought for the committee to
Mr.. Peabody again or for the chamber to
.se some steps.
Mr.. William Lee maintained that Mr. Pea
1ody was doing Just what good many other
citizens of st. Paul had done. 1t was no new
thing for lhe people here to gouge the city
Whenever they had chance, and that is just |
what Peabody is doing. He has a piece of !
ground that is OF no use to any one except to |
The city, and he therefore proposes to make |
the city pay for it good and strong. It is one !
Of those outfages that We have got to submit |
to. Thus, Peabody has got Us and viii not |
let go without making rs pay.
