WASHINGTON, d. 0. Jan. 2O-Mr,
Mitchell addressed the senate on the bill
for the free coinage Of silver II was, he
said, subject involving a contention In

between the creditor class and the debtor
class. II involved a gigantic effort Cor
perhaps Che terh conspiracy might
not be inapProprlale) on the part OF a
special class and lts allies to depress val.
ues In order that the price Of the credit
or's bond andnote and mortgage and gold
coin might be increased hi value and
their power Of absorption augmented The
pending bill was not a demand for che ls-
sue Of an unlimited supply Of money, as
all are agreed that such a policy would be
suicidal II was a blii, however, To pro.
vide for a sufficient amount Of circulating
medium by which TO meet the largely In
creased and Increasing business Of the
country and which would tend TO check
the alarming decline In the value Of
farms, farm products and other com.
moditles. The question was whether the
double standard Of money should be re-
established or whether gold alone should
continue 10 be the monetary standard,
whether the financial ship Of America
was to sail only In the wake Of the
golden tramps Of Great Britain. The on
ly way 10 restore and secure national
prosperity was to provide by law for che
free and unlimited coinage OF silver bull
lion into standard silver dollars Of the
present weight and Aneness and 10 give
TO that coinage the debt paying functions
Of legal tender, Of course with proper re.
strlctlons to protect the mints from Inn
position, and also TO provide for the Issue
Of legal tender certificates based on the
silver coinage. The Window bill, as II
now stood, he regarded as fatally de-
tectlve. With slight amendments, how.

estimation rs a measure In the right d.
