Mr.. DANIEL AGAIN on TIE SILVER BILL.
The House silver bill was taken up, and
Mr.. Daniel resumed the speech begun
by him last Friday. Abiding. to the ex;
pected passage Of the bill to-day. he SAID
That the day was one of great victory and
triumph for the representatives OF Demo;
cracy and for those whose good report ana
evil report had steadfastly maintained the
money Of the people. IL was q DAY IN
which compliment was paid TO the legis-
lation of 1878. known as the Bland act -
greater than anything that could be
embodied in language. Those VINO
had opposed the policy OF that
act in the beginning and those who had
continued in opposition thereto Tor many
wears now came forward TO pour their Il
bations of praise on the altar Of TRIUMPH
ant Democracy that was tho author OF that
bill and that had been It's unyioidlng frieno.
That the world moved and that THIS was
a land OF progress had never Deeh oetU5r
demonstrated than BY tie fact that the lead
or of the Republican financial policy III
the United States (alluding to senator
Sherman who had carried the sngle-gold
standard over two continents, mad come
forward in his speech and lain down at the
feet of the double standard and proclaimed
that he was at last an advocate of silver
money. He concluded by an expression
of his belief that the coinage OF silver
was the only safe and proper eHit
ont of the problem. If 1t was not
SAFE tho fact could only DO shown
lv what was TO degree an expert
ment. But il was au experiment that
could be made without peril, IA there
would be ample time 70 correct any evil
tendency that might be developed before
opv harm would happen. And II was on
experiment nccessitated by the demands OF
the times and by the disOrdered system OF
finance into which the country had been
thrown.
MR. ALLISON on SILVER.
Mr.. Allison next addressed the Senate.
The House bill. be said, which was now the
pending bill, all other bills and amend
ments having passed away, was substan-
TALLY the bill proposed by the FINANCE
Committee when 1t made lts report orr
ginalv with the exception that the House
Ind added TO ID a provision for redeemlnS
in bullion and provision relating to tree
coinage when silver should come to par.
These were two vital amendments made to
the bill as il was originally reported from
the Finance Committee. As he had assent
ed to the original report he expected 70
vote for that report substantially, as ne
believed il was the wlsest ana lon t1e
whole the best solution Of the question.
The bill having been referred TO the
Finance Committee for a second time the
committee had reported back amend
ments. one striking out the section OF the
bill relating 10 free coinage after certain
point and one inserting provision that
the act shall terminate at the eX-
piratlOn Of ten years. He would sup
port the amendment TO strlke out Ine
sixth section. but be would not sup
port the amendment limiting the operation
of The bill TO ten years. He regarded that
limitation as unnecessary and as imperil-
Inc Inc, the efficiency Of the bill. He did not
believe that the bill would last ten years or
anything approaching ten years. He re-
garded the pending measure and the una
nimitv with which it was supported as a
complete justification of the legislation OF
