SENATORS ON THE SILVER BILL.
Points Made in the Debate for and Against
the Measure

Points Made in the Debate for and Against
the Measure.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 9-The confer
ence report on the silver bill was attacked
in the senate yesterday by Vest and Coke.
Vest declared that the bill did away with
the idea of free coinage and was a back
down on the part of the senate. The bust
ness of the country, he said, was still to
be conducted on the gold basis, and the
bill would not increase the price of silver.
Coke agreed with Vest. He opposed the
purchase of a single ounce of silver that
was not to be coined. Both declared their
intention to vote against the bill.
Teller Presents Some Figures.
Teller, in reply to Vest and Coke. said
he had made calculation as TO the in
crease of currency that would take place
under the conference bill. The purchase
of 4 500, 90 ounces of silver at MONDAYS
price-Sl.Q per ounce-would require the
issue of &, 100 600 in treasury notes. At
sl.05 per ounce the amount of treasury
notes to be issued would be 81, I25, 900 per
month; at 81 10, 81, $50 900; at 81 20, IS, 400
600; and at par, IS, sl4, 600 per month, or
about $40, 000, 900 year.
Stewart said that if the conference bill
were executed in good faith las the senate
was bound to assume it would be-, it would
give great relief.
Cockrell said the conference bill reverSsd
back TO the single gold standard. and left
silver as mere merchandise, like wheat,
tobacco, corn, or oats.

the thanks of the party for the privilege

Bismarck Was Glad to See Them.
Prince Bismarck expressed his pleasure
at the visit, and said he was surprised to
hear only German names. Germans in
America, he said, must feel satisfied with
the unification of Germany even on the
other side of the Atlantic. Formerly one
was Saxon, another was Prussian, and
another was a Hessisn; but now each

As the column moved down Grand ave-

the side streets, q grander scene of glitter
ing pageantry could not well be imagined.
Through the trees on that well-shaded
avenue the bright plumes, glittering epau-
lets, shining swords, and other knightly
paraphernalia glistened and danced in the
rays of Il declining sun with most beauti-
full effect, and appeared as one endless
stream of brilliancy. The only affair of
the kind that equaled it was the one by
uniformed knights in Cincinnati three
years ago, which Gen. Shermen reviewed
and pronounced the finest since the close
Of the war. There were at that time 10, 600

Senator Vance may have underestimate

may think he may ignore its demands but
he will find that 1t contains more than
one-third of the backbone of the state.
Senator Vance is a brainy man, but we

farmers of North Carolina pay Senator
Vance. 1t is his business to work for
