Mr.. Morgan spoke for three hours and
closed with an appeal to senators not TO
allow the senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher-
MANI to thrust mis- stiletto again into
silver.
Mr.. Hall also nsgued against the CON
ference bill, suggesting that il was only
variation OF the Farmers Alliance
Warehouse bill, and that the only dther-
enoe was that in the case Of silver II was
to be bought outright.
Mr.. Plumb said that in the particulars
which he regarded as essential the bill
was comparatively unobjectionablc, sup
posing always that q compromise had 10
| be made. he had been surprised TO find
that in regard to the free coinage OF sill
yer the Senate had been more advanced
than the House. If CD 8 bill should be-
| come a law his own belief was that so
| easily and nicely would it work, so help.
| full would 1t be to all the people OF the
| United States, SO wisely would it COM
mend itself to the good judgment of the
psopls that the next step would be free
coinsge aud short step too taken with
the practical concurrence OF the Ameri-
can people. He should vote for the con-
ference bill, regretting that 1t WAS no
better, immensely glad that II was no
worse.
Mr.. yanoe-It is admitted that the bill
Is not what it ought to be. Common
sense would dictate, then, that we try TO
make it what it ought to be. We have
made but one effort to make it what it
ought to be, and being met with rebuff
at the other end OF the capitol, we i'm
mediately submit and make no further
effort. We proposed o bill for the ben
eft of the people. We ere now about
to pass one for the benefit OF the
miners and dealers in silver bullion
