BY Senator Daniel and others--Sir
Edmunds' Sarcasm 1.-The Shipping

Arguments-.C Capital Notes.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 1.-THE
morning hour was devoted to routine
business, and its expiration the Finan'
cial bill was taken up. Mr.. Stewart
suggested that some time should be
6xed for taking vote on the bill and
amendments and named o'clock on
Friday next as the hour. No objection
was made, but the matter went over
MI. Daniel then took the floor and
smoke in favor OF free coinage.
Mr.. Plumb followed Mr.. Daniel. BE
credited the silver act OF last session
with having had the eject Of preventing
universal financial panic. 1t bad facll.
itated the purchase OF $l00, 100000 Of
American securities that had been sent
back from Europe, and thus the Bank OF
England and the other financial insti-
tutions OF Europe had been able to tide
over the difficulties OF the BaEings.
Whatever might be said about the silver
hill ollast session and about It's short
ComiDgs, its effects on the immediate
situation had been OF most beneticent
character. He Ggreed that it was in the

might stand between every citizen OF
the United States. and the proceeds Of
his labor; that they might break up
banks and mercantile establishments,
and might paralyze the business Of the
country il they saw fit to do so. He was
glad that they did not. II the people
had got to remain in that condition the
safest and wisest thing for every man
who had not capital enough to carry on
bis business was TO 20 tiahiug. He did
not share the fears Of the Senator from
Ohio as TO what would happen from the
free coinage Of silver. Perhaps he was
not as sensitive on that point as he
might have been il he had not so oftcn
heard similar forebodings from the same
quarter and had not known that they
had not been realized. 1t was in the
interest OF our trade, and in the interest
OF honest money that the country
should establish as early ag possible a
parity between gold and silver.
Mr.. Sawyer moved TO go into execu'
tive sessiCn.
"oh," said Mr.. Edmnnds, "let US take
q vote on the bill now"
Mr.. Stewart expressed the desire that
an early day should be fixed for taking
the vote.
Mr.. Edmunds-what is your idea OF

Disaster and bankruptcy are said to be
impending, and, therefore, We ought not
TO leave stone unturned to get an i'm.

After a brief executive session the
Senate adjourned.

that the prominent Alliance leaders
who are disturbed over the bitter fight
that has already grown up in their ranks
over the United States senatorship are
discussing the adyisability Of not organ

be to postpone the election Of Senator
until February 4, instead Of on January
27. The House will be called together
Tuesday, the 18th, but the organization
can be held over til the next day.
