Az o'clock the bill for the admis'
zion Of Washington Territory as a

being made in the order Of the House.
LET The bill stand on its own bot
tom.o remarked Mr.. Durham, OF ILL.,
pois. -,
at has no bottom to stand on"
suggested Mr.. Long, Of Massachusetts.
MANY members took part in the de.
bate vhick followed, but majority OF
the speeches were short. Mr.. Diooie'
of South Carolina, was opposed to the
unlimited coinage of silver at this time.
He was not opposed to silver. lie was
in favor of international bimetalllsm 1t
Il could be obtained, and if it could not
be obtained be was in favor Of ma
tiopal bimetallism. IL we opened our
mjnts now we would lose our gold and
receive silver at a discount Of 70 per
cent. 1t would dissipate forever any
hope of an international sb .eement.
1t would not be advantageous TO the
country or TO silver itself. At the
same time he did not subscribe to the
idea that the silver dollar was fraud.
II was bond.fde dollar. and he was
unwilling to take the bullion standard
of the London market as the standard
of value of the coin which Congress
had coined and regulated the value OF
since the days Of the fathers. lie ia
vored suspension of silver coinage for
. definite period--one or two years.
Mr.. Herbert, Of Alabama, promised
his speech with the declaration that in
the President and in the success Of his
Administration lay the hope Of Demo-
cratic ascendancy, and he had no SYM
patty with those Democrats who SEEM
ed TO think the hope Of the Democracy
lay in the destruction Of the present
Administration. lie favored the reha-
bilitstion Of silver, but did not think
this Government by itself was equal to
the task Of rehabiitating it. Any at
tempt to do this by the passage CT the
pending bill would result in an income
of silver and an outgo Of gold.
Mr.. Tillman, Of South Carolina, ad-
vocated the unlimited coinage OF silver.
In q two.minute speech Mr.. Findlay
Of Mary land, replied to the criticisms
made on his speech by Mr.. Norwood
Of Georgia, which he denominated a.
1.-THE plantation thunderbolts Of a Geor'
eia Jupiter forged in the smithy o.
Simon Suggs."
Mr.. Bland obtained unanimous con-
sent to withdraw his motion to recon-
NIT the bill.
Mr.. Dibble offered an amendment
providing that unless in the mean time
through concurrent action Of the ma
tons Of Europe with the United States

Of July, 1889, then and thereafter SO
much Of the act of February 2S, 1878,
as authorizes and directs the Secretary
of the Treasury to purchase silver bull
lion and cause the same to be coined
shall be suspended until further actor
by Congress.
