National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1886-05-06

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: Tho follow
ing speech by Hon. Roger q. Mills In the House
Feb. is one of the best analysis Of the con-
traction policy ever made:
''Ifwe coin freely both metals the world will
have both In Its circulation; whereas five take
the advice OF the scarce.money people and
stop the coinage OF silver, the world Will have
only one metal TO measure its values, and the
price of labor and the products of labor will
como down, men will be thrown out Of employ.
ment throughout the earth, tramps will AZ the
highways as they do to-day, and we VIII see
a depth and an intensity of suffering we have
never seen before. The objection to the free
coinage of silver is because 1t will increase the
volume of circulation that measures the yalue
of labor. II will make money cheap, but 1t
will make the stroke ,of the arm dearer, II
will make clothing dearer, II will make wheat
dearer, Il will make corn and cotton dearer,
but IL will make every day of toll bring better
price than IL is now worth. The best condition
of every people Is that in which labor receives
the highest possible reward for It's toll. Zap
plause.l Mr.. Clay once said In that old hall
out there that the highest wages and the high
est interest for money were the best conditions
There s no curse in existence like the contrao-
ton of the circulation. War and pestllence
and famine may spread their Daleiul wings
over the land, but the evils they bring with
them are not TO be compared to the contraction
of circulation which throwsOut OF employment
from three to five millions Of laborers, enforc-
ing idleness, bringing tears to every cheek,
sorrow and distress TO every home, hunger aud
starvation to every door. Yet this Is what
these advocates of scarce money are asking us
TO do to-day In the name of the laborers."

The Free Bridge Bill Agreed Upon
A War Claim AIlowed-Other Mat

The Free Bridge Bill Agreed Upon
A War Claim AIlowed-Other Mat
tors.
At the meeting of the subcommittee on
free bridge Of the House committee yester-
day the free bridge bill was agreed upon,
and will be reported to the general COM
mittee to-day. The attorneys employed to
represent the parties interested were
present atthe meeting Of the subcommittee,
and an agreement was reached which was
mutually satisfactory. The Riddleberger
bill was so amended as to make 1t absolute
that the free bridge must be on the site OF
the aqueduct, unless the holders Of that
bridge refuse to sell. Should they refuse
to sell the bridge will go to the Three Sis
ters' site, but upon no other circumstances.
The question Of title is not to enter into the
matter. II the Attorney General holds
that the title to the one pier that is In dis
pute is not good, the bill will either au-
thorze him to condemn the site Of the pier
or else will declare that the title must be
declared to be good. Mr.. Barbour favors
the former plan; Mr.. Rowell, the latter.
MIR. Rowell thinks there can be no question
as TO the equitable title to the pier.
The House committee on war claims have
reported favorably on the bill for the relief
of John Montgomery, OF this city. They
Recommend LDdJ nc Dt pulu p1,OuO luT Jno
injury to his tavern at the Virginia end Of
the Long bridge, instead OF $2,9l717 as
recommended by the army commission.
In letter to the Senate, the commits
sioner of agriculture says that the unreason-
able delay in printing the $4,000 copies Of
the first annual report OF the bureau Of
animal Industries has placed his department
in an embarrassing position, and subjects 1t
TO reflection which is unjust.
On motion of Mr.. Logan In the Senate
yesterday the House bill was passed au-
thorizing the Secretary of War to remove
the statue of Maj. Gen. Rawlins in Wash
ington to another point in the city, to be
selected by that Secretary.
District Commissioner Webb and Mr..
Anderson, secretary of the board of promo
tion of the Permanent Exposition, had an
Informal hearing before the House commit
tee on, rules yesterday, asking that they
recommend that the resolution concerning
the proposed celebration OF the centennial
Of the formation Of the government under
the constitution, ond the 400th anniversary
of the discovery Of America, be referred to
the joint committee on library. The Senate
has referred the resolution introduced In
that branch of Congress TO that committee,
and as It is joint committee they think
the House should send the matter there
also,

"why the Marine Band Did Not Play"

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: notice the
above-headed article in your paper OF Wednes-
day, signed by Mr. G. L. Lindner, recording
ecretary of the Musical Assembly No. 1903,
X. of L. In that article Nr. Lindner comes to
the defense OF the administration In not grant
ing the Marine Band in the Veterans parade on
April u. The gentleman says he considers II
his duty to make an open statement, so that the
public may not be misled as to the truth of the
matter. In reply will say that had the Vet
Grams known that the administrative depart
ments OF which Mr.. l., speaks were run by
him and his apparently unemployed musical
union, they would hardly have made the APP
plication for the band nor in the manner
that they did. will further say that the
thirty to forty thousand citizens of Washington
who viewed the parade of the first volunteers
OF the late war. as well as the thousands who
had not the chance TO view them, are not
likely TO be inclined to regard the matter In
the light that Mr. L, and his supporters would
like them to. Al leastl the enthusiasm with
which they received the old defenders leads
one to think different. The real facts will be
given In due time. ID. q. Vol.
