House Of Reprcsenlalives.

Nenates
The Senate was not in session to-
day.
House OF ReprcsentattveS.
Immediately upon assembling the
House, under the previous order, went
into Committee Of the Whole (Mr.
Crisp, Of Georgia, in the chair for
general debate on the State of the
Union.
Mr.. Gambler. Of Georgia, submitted
an argument against the suspension of
silver coinage, and contended that there
was no sound basis for the prediction
made by "gold-bugs f." that the con-
tinued coinage Of silver would have the
effect OF driving gold out of the cOun-
try.
Mr.. Weaver, Of Nebraska, made an
unlimited silyer-coinsge speech.
Mr.. Clements, of Georgia, thought
that the true test Of the value Of silver
was not a gold standard as established
in countries where the value of gold
had been enhanced by the demonetiza-
ton Of silver, but the purchasing capa-
city Of silver. Tested by its purchaS-
ing capacity, silver was now worth as
much as it had ever been, and there was
no around for the assertion that the
standard dollar was dishonest dollar.
Mr.. Jones, of Texas, advocated free
coinage Of silver. and earnestly opposed
the proposition to suspend the operation
Of the Bland act.
Mr.. Walford, Of Kentucky, spoke in
support Of the Mexican pension bill,
introduced by him, and thought that it
should not be antagonized because it
would include Jefferson Davis in its
provisions.
Mr.. Reagan suggested that Jefferson
Davis had once written letter asking
that his name be excepted from the
provisions Of the Mexican pension bill
if is insertion would endanger the pas
sage of the bill.
Mr.. Wallord replied that that noble
sentiment Of jefferson Davis made him
(Waliordl only more DESTROYS OF in
Guiding him in the provisions Of the
bill.
Mr.. Perkins, Of Kansas, opposed
the suspension Of silver coinage, and
denounced the characterization Of silver
in 1873 as dishonoring American
silver, and as bringing in its train busi-
ness disasters which had continued I'M
til the passage of the Bland act in
1878.
Dir. Evans, Of Pennsylvania, thought
compulsory coinage of silver should
cease and the delusion in favor Of dou-
bic standard should be set aside.
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.
