Omaha daily bee., 1890-06-18

1873, did pass a contrvance OF this kind DUST
as IL is trying to pass IL now In order, by APP
pcals TO the worst instincts of the people, TO
do something which might bring II into
power. II accomplished its purpose and
Cleveland was elected, and, having been
elected by their votes, Cleveland was wise
enough and brave enough 20 tell his demo-
cratic supporters that that sort Of delusion
could not be carried into practice The demo
cratic party was wise enough, for wonder,
to be absolutely silent for four years on that
topic. No patriot opened his mouth to bark
at the administration of President
Cleveland because he persistently and
steadily declined TO be betrayed or seduced
into destroying the prosperity Of the people
Of the United States by advising such meas
ure as this we have now. No democrat in
either house during the four years of Cleve-
lands administration opened his lips to re-
lieye the suffering people suffering from
want OF the coinage OF silver dollars. And
therefore say, with great respect to my
friend from Kansas and to everybody else,
that this bill IS the new platform renewed
from 1873 TO ls9O), of the democratic party
when it has no responsibility (and / agree
that it ought never to have any, and that its
purpose is to cntangle the republican party
and deliver it over to the democratic party.
The question was taken on Mr. Reagan's
amendment and it was agreed to without di-
vision
Mr. Teller moved to add the following as a
new section:
That certificates provided for in this act
@ shall be receivable for all taNes YES and dues to
shall be legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private.
After a long discussion it was modified, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Eustis by adding the
words, land all silver certificates already
issued, and as so modified it was agreed to

Mr.. Plumb moved TO insert the following
as an additional section:
Owners of bullion deposited for coinage shall
have the option to receive coin or It's Cquivn-
lent I'm the certificates provided for In this act,
and such bullion shall be subsequently, coined.
Agreed to without division.
The bill was then reported to the senate
and all the amendments agreed to in commit
tee of the whole were agreed to in the senate
