ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The House yes
terday resumed the consideration of the
Trade Dollar bill, and it was addressed by
Pussy, in its support. He expressed his
belief in the Reconciliation Act and his
hostility to any proposition to stop the
coinage of standard dollars.
Cassidy confined his antagonism to the
first section, which he maintained would
have the effect of contracting the currency
to the amount of trade dollars which would
be retired. He announced himself in
favor of free coinage of silver. He argued
that the policy of the Government should
be to fix what should be a dollar and then
allow the producers of bullion to go into
the MINIS and get bullion coined and
leave upon individuals the burden of
placing the money in circulation.
Belford regarded the fourth section as a
covert fraud on the people, being in the
interest of the Rothschilds, who controlled
Germany on the question of gold or silver
characterization. He had always followed
his friend from Pennsylvania, Kelly, but
last year that gentleman had gone to Ger
many and consulted with that brutal
tyrant, Bismarck, and on coming back
advocated practically the cessation OF the
coinage of silver.
III beg leave to say" remarked Kelly,
ssthat I am not conscious of having been
in Germany. I did, in my sickness,
stretch my travels ss far as Paris, where
spent three months. l had not the priv
ilege of seeing any German statesmen"
=. "The House will recollect a series OF
letters" replied Bedford, ''that the gen.
> tleman wrote after his brilliant interview
j with Prince Bismarck"
"When ?" inquired Kelly.
1.-TWO years ago." replied Bedford.
Kelly-If my arithmetic sustains me on
the basis of 1879 and 1884 it was five years,
Belford-Very well. Let US get to the
. next point. l say that when you came
, back from Europe last Fall you intro
duced a bill to stop coinage. and yet you
{ are willing to stand up here and advocate
: day after day, for projection for pig iron
Ell Kelly-My desire is to permit the wide
spread use Of silver on its ancient basis
! and my bill is one which, l believe, is wei.
2 Il ChlCulhtcQ w lOICO dllOSdub GuSidAup eAs
prosecutor of silver and silver nations, Il
sue for relief from her own arrogance BY
. asking for the r~emonetization Of silver or
e the ancient basis.
Belford-Why didn't you introduce 1
Q bill to protect arrogant England on the
. question Of pig iron? Laughter. I have
n always voted to protect the industries o
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connection
and Louisiana, and yet there is q settled
!, studied policy ON the part Of the monopo
lies, etc., to discredit, injure and ruin thu
great industry of my State.
Kelly-Did any of those m~onopolies fsi
to stand by you in the duties you demand
ed for Colorado lead, an industry ~scarcel,
second to silver, or did they fail to protec
her pig iron, her nail factories and he
e Bessemer rail mills?
oI Belford-I can tell the gentleman tina
Colorado needs no tariff on Bessemer steel
1t costs $14 to ship y ton of Bessemer stee
from Pennsylvania to Colorado. Tn,
q tariff there is the distance. I can also Civ,
notice to my friend that Colorado need no
stand up for the relief of pig iron. Con
tinuing, Bedford proceeded to make al
argument in favor Of free silver coinage
1t was time, he said, that Congress should
= make war ON the theory which dominate
this administration. He cared not whethe
it was Republican or Democratic com
munism that had absolutely began its de
wasting course. "Look at the riot il
Cincinnati. 1t might be said to hav
4 sprung out Of the attempt to administe
justice in an individual case. Oh, n,
mantle was too broad for that. II was be
IS cause the people of the country are be
ginning to realize and feel that no man, b,
honest and legitimate industry can earl
twenty million in one year and deprive tn
W people of the currency Of trade and bust
ness. That was what the riot meant, an.
> he advised the gentlemen who have con
troll Of the House to see that the currenc,
II was not diminished. while people are in
creasing. If they did the result would b,
" not q riot in Cincinnati, but q riot il
n every great city and country, with mil
lions of dollars of property destroyed
= He criticised the Democrats for cutting
9 down the appropriations to insufficient
a amounts. and inquired: "Are we foreve
!, to hold the White House to account TO
your absolutely silly blunders ?"
Hewitt of New York thought the Hous
{ should not sanction by any act an in
crease In the coinage Of the STANDARD
: dollar. That time had come when tn
House should put its seal Of condemna
q ton on the coinage of on
additional dollar. The gentleman from
Missouri (Mr. Bland) had achieved grea
: renown by having identified himself will
, a measure which, according to his view
had made IS cents worth of silver equa
to a dollar. He had done it by IN Act o
. Congress. He now comes in with another
= proposition, like the man described il
Mother Goose in the verse beginning
] There was q man in our town." If By
the restricted coinage Of 50, 900, 900 pei
month the Government was making {
profit Of $500. 900 per month, by opening
the Minis to unrestricted coinage the gen
