a vote of as TO 10. Mr.. Sherman and many others
lclped 10 make this eNcislOn on the ground th2U
Mr. Stewards free-cOlnage scneme should De maze
Ia stand alone in its attractlveEesS or dcfOrTtN.
Mr. Sherman asked in fact TO have all the other
sections of the original bill thrown overheard ana
the free-coinage one put to third reading ana
sent to the House.
But this did not suit Mr. Plumb and other advo-
Gates Of still greater imitation. The Kansas Sena-
tor produced a financial bill which he had intro
duccd carlV in the session, and started in 70 graft
several of its sections upon Mr. Stewards freedom
ace measure The first section, which was adopted
without much trouble, limited the compulsory re-
quirement Of deposits OF United States bonds WIN
the Treasury by National banks to $1,000, thus
enabling the banks Ia surrender vast quantities OF
bonds thus held at pleasure. The next section au-
thorized the replacement Of the National bank cir
cnlation rs it retired by Treasury
notes, and thus forced upon the Senate a
grave and important question, on WI, wniC N
pieces Dcsiiltory debate was resumed. and an
evening session was found TO be inevitable FOR
some three hours Mr.. Pumb's imitation scheme was
debated with growing i'll feeling between the two
wings of the coalition and finally Mr. German and
..Sicr Democratic Senators turner in with the
Mnance Committee and its friends and defeated
3c amendment.
After still more delay and friction the Stewart
amendment got finally ont of Committee of the
Whole into the Senate, and there, by trick OF
legerdeman Mr. Vest quickly substituted for IL
the Free Coinage bill of last year The chanec
was approved by nearly all the friends of silver.

then was read third time and passed the senate.
