mr. lnesis tnougnt III no concern OF
the Sub-Iressurer TO inquire Tor what

the stasement OF tne senator from
Louislana was true tne acton OF the
Sub-Treasurer should be characterized,
not as departure from custom, but a

Pile holding silver dollars to exchange them
| for silver certificates and to render sill
yer dollars as unpopular as possible. He
enquired: "Who is this Secretary of
the Treasury that he should stand up
and thwart deliberate law of Congress?
Where did he get this training that he
says I possess all the knowledge and
wisdom Of this government on finances.
and no matter what the legislative de-
partmert may say, know what is good
| Tor the country, The Administration
| had shut the mint to silver and barred
the Treasury to il, and they said they
did not believe the people wanted silver,
Men have been hung before now for de.
basing coin, because they cheated the
people. vet here was q case of the gov
ernment debasing its own coin"
Mr.. Gorman defended the Administra-
tion. Abiding to Mr., Teller's criti-
cisms OF the training Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury. Mr.. German said it was
true that the Democrats had few men
who had been Grained" in the govern
ment service for the past twenty-five
years, but that they were fresh from the
people and had trained with the peo-
pie and knew the wants and wishes of
the people. Time would show that the
Secretary Of the Treasury was right.
That officer was the peer Of the Senator
| from Colorado or any other gentleman
on the floor Of the Senate.
During the further discussion OF the
resolution Senator Sherman took the
foor in its supnort He said Il was en.
t;relv proper and that the senate had a
