the request of Mr. PaysOn. of Illinois, Mr..
Conger, of Iowa, in charge Of the bill,
modified his substitute so as to provide
that the treasury notes issued in pursu-
ance of the bill shall be legal tender in
payments of all debts public and private,
striking out the following words, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated IN
the contract. F"
Mr.. Payson said that he realized the sub
stitute would in substance pass this body
and that it would be done in obedience to
public sentiment, which he believed to be
universal in favor of larger use of silver
as a money metal of a futher increase of
the currency of the country.
Mr. Payson proceeded to discuss the silver
policy Of Hayes, Arthur, Cleveland and
Harrison administrations lie referred to
the denunciation of the Cleveland ad-
ministration by the Republican party and
said he endorsed that denunciatiOn
Nothing he had said afforded him more
pleasure than the denunciation of Cleve-
lands administration for its treatment of
silver. He come down to the Republican
administration and it was no better. IAp-
plause. Silver had had no friend in the
treasury department since the agitation
begun and when he was asked to vote for
a proposition COnfding to the secretary Of
the treasury's discretion in the use of
silver as a money metal, if this were the
end of it, he would vote against it. Never
1du a QlSCGetlOn Deeu CODllueu 10 Il ScCIt-
tary on this question when it was possible
to evade it that it had not been evaded.
Continuing. Mr. PaysOn said, that instead
of being a bill for the coinage of
silver it was a measure which practically
prohibited the coinage Of the standard
dollar Applause.
Mr. Mi6chler, of Pennsylvania, was op-
posed to. both propositions pending before
the house.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, reiterated and
endorsed everything the gentleman from
Illinois had said relative to the hostile at
titude of the treasury department towards
silver.
Mr. Cannon said he did not apprehend
that the bill was perfect, but take it all in
all it was the soundeSt measure that the
house could originate and pass, and from
every standpoint and all things considered
it met his unqualified approval and en-
dorsement, standing as he did between the
extreme silver men on the one hand and
the gold mono-metalist on the other. Let
members see to it that in the storm of fury
and passion and demagOguery that they
legiSlated so that nan should not be cheat
ed morning and night or noon out of what
be had Justly earned lapplausel.
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, spoke in favor
of free coinage.
Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas, said the bill did
not meet his approval. He would vote for it
because he knew that in another forum it
would be amended.
Mr.. Funston, of Kansas. and Mr. Con-
nell, of Nebraska, favored a free coinage
measure.
MIR Mckinley, of Ohio, said that the bill
would utilize every dollar of the silver
product Of the United States. 1t provided
also that the instant silver was on a parity
with gold, that very instant there would
be free and unlimited coinage of silver
Congress must see that the money pro
vlded for the people must be absolutely
safe from financial wrecks and from COM
mercial commissions and be absolutely safe
and secure in the hands of the holders
For one, he would not vote against the bill
and thus deprive his people and his cOun-
try ana the Industries of his country of the
$4,000 600 of circulating medium. LAp-
