NOT PARTY QUESTION.
This with him was not party question.
Cor he had denounced the anti-silver policy
~ everv administration for tho last twenty
wears. Il did not matter 10 him that DIS
own party was for four years respons1o,e
for the enduring wrong. Clevelanus AZ
minstration was just as arnenabie 10 criti-
cism ard censure as had peen its ptv.u III
cessors or its successor. When honest toh
was doomed TO want and poverty 20 party
shackles could chain him 70 defence OF
fhnt which was its cause. The uliers OF tne
soil could endure no longer the burdens
nut upon their backs by unjust and par
fial legislation, They had at last deter
mined 10 make their case OF grievances
known and their demand that 1T be righted'
THE yARxEns' yusT COMPLAINT.
The Farmers Alliance was now central
lied into a national organization ana was
protesting against class legislation. Every
Intelligent man and every honest man acs
knowledeed that they bad lust cause Oh
anrss not imaginary but real. The
MIGHTY West and reiuvenated Sonth had
endured the fleeing process unth their
n,,;enoe was exhausted. anu now tney
pneant that lust laws should be enacted
aud unjust laws repealed. He trusted that
their time had come. and that ere the iues
Of March were ushered In silver woui1 ps
restored to the position whlch IL hnu nel9
and honored for more than three Thousand
years.
Mr.. Morgan said that he felt embarrass;,
ed AT The immense mass OF statistics ana
q. xwht
and country had been Hooded on
silver coinage and gold coinage and
on on the question Of the parity, of
ysIue between tho two metals, and he
would not have attempted to make any
further suggestions il it were not that ne
considered the present en- opportune time
for Congress TO como TO the relief OF the
country. II was not worthy OF the Aneri-
can people. he said. at this stage OF their
progress that they should any longer de-
cline 10 base their financial policy on their
own ACCOMPLISHMENTS only unfail-

in cold and silver 1890, 900 900 in ten years.
Mr. MORGAN asked what other government
in the world could point TO better security
for the redemption Of its promises, public
or priyatey Could Germany promise her
self such result from her mines! Not
tithe OF il. Could France? Not at all.
Could England from all her vast posses
sions? Not by any means. 1t might be
assumed that $500. 900, 900 (probably Sl,oOO,-
OOO. 0OO) would be taken from the American
mines in the next ten years. An issue of a
circulation Of one. two. or three dollars TO
one dollar OF gold or silver would be an
absolutely safe calculation, and with 1t
there would be established policy Tor
this country as safe and immutable as the
flow of water in the Mississippi river. and
which might be calculated upon without
any fail. Then there would be established
a policy which Off utilized and employed
in developing the magnificent resources OF
the country, its industries. and its CON-
merce) would make the United States mas
ter of the world on questions of finance.
NO NEED TO DOUBT THE FUTURE.
In view of that fact why should the Sen
ate be trembling and fearful and almost IN
n state of panic lest, If the country sought
10 use its silver and avail itself OF Its
natural advantages, some men might con-
clude that the Government of the United
States was becoming slack in its ideas OF
honor and honesty and credit? The policy
of fear and apprehension was not becoming
TO a people who had got their feet planted
by God on the rock OF safety. There was
no need to doubt the future Wnen tDe pres
emit was so assured and the past was so
fruitful in results from the mining indus,
try of the country, and yet that was oil
that senators were confronted with.
Mr.. Morgan yielded the floor. without
concluding his speech and the bill was laid
aside.
Executive session. Adjourned. z
House of Representatives.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole (Mr. Allen. of Michigan, in the

the Citizens Bank of Louisiana growing
ont of the seizure and covering into the
United States Treasury of certain moneys

amount involved is S2l5,000. The measure
gave rise to quite
LONG DISCUSSION,
il being advocated by Messrs. Blanchard
and Boatner of Louisiana and opposed
by Messrs. Thomas of Wisconsin and
Grosvenor of OHIO. Mr. Thomas moved
to strike out tho enscting clause. Lost-59
