favorable terms than the United States can,
whatever we may need of the capital Of the
whole world.
One may perceive in the foregoing, the
views of Mr.. Schenck, how well it would
be for the American people to pass an
enactment that would place them in high
favor with the Barring Brothers, the
Rothschilds, and other money loaners,
who, by aid OF their money, had been
the commercial rulers Of the world.
And here is substantially the same
thought by Representative John A. Lo-
gan, of Illinois:
Let US say as an honest people that we
mean to pay our honest debts, both green
backs and bonds, in such money that the
world recognizes as money.
This bill passed the Houseon February
"a, 1860, by vote Of 100 to CO. Hon.
James A. Garfield was sick and absent,
but he was permitted to vote "aye" on
the following day.
Senator John Sherman took especial
charge of the bill when it came to the
Senate, and with slight changes It passed
that body on February q, 1869, by vote
of yeas, 30; nays, 16. The nays were

OF secretary Of the treasury, and Stanley
Matthews for about two years was in the
United States Senate as Mr.. Sherman's
successor. In 1881, he became an asso-
clate justice Of the supreme court Of the
United States. He declared himself In
favor OF the bi-metallic system, and he
was known in the Senate and in the ma
tion as favoring silver with which to
liquidate maturing government bonds,
hence in 1877 the Republicans of Ohio
turned tail and resolved:
That we are in favor of both silver and
gold as money, that both shall be legal
tender for the payment of all debts EXCEPT
where otherwise specially provided by law,
with coming and valuation so legislated
that our people shall not be placed at a dis
advantage in our trade with foreign nations,
aud that both metals shall be kept in circu-
lation as the money of the nation, as con-
templated by the constitution; and we
therefore demand the remonetizatin of
silver.
And in the following year they thus
resolved on finance:
The financial question having been dis
posed of by Congress, and the country at
present needing repose in order that capi-
tai may seek employment and that indus
tries may revive, thus increasing the de-
mand for labor, the situation ought to be
accepted, and we oppose the further agita-
tion of the question at this time as injurious
TO business and devoid of other than evil
results.

Messrs. Davis, McCreery and Hendricks.
The bill went to conference committee
and their report passed the Senate on
March 3, 1869, by a vote of 81 to "a, and
on the same day 1t passed the House by
vote of 119 to 81.
Representative Burr, of Illinois, thus
made his protest:
Last fall, when the election was pending,
IL was nothing but the letter and spirit OF
the contract, without defining what that
letter and spirit was; but the necessity for
deception has gone by; success has been
achieved on the "letter and spirit plan of
campaigning; Grant has been elected, and
now the cloak is thrown off and labor must
pay about $SO0,OO0, 900 for the privilege of
having aided the success of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Garfield remarked:
I stated in every speech made, from the
beginning to the end Of the campaign, that
those bonds were payable in gold.
And Mr.. Schenck said;
So did l.
But Mr.. Shanks, Of Indiana, remarked:
And l said they we're paid in greenbacks.
Ben. Butler, of Massachusetts,, re-
marked:
The whole Of this thing is nmplya stock

oy of this bill. Every debtor win be in the

customers and take their obligations to pay

Senator Daniel s. Norton, Of Mime
sofa, put these inquiries:
Retween the bondholders and the people,
what should Congress do? Between the
laborers and the tan payers of the country
on the one hand and the bondhOGders on
the other, what is the duty of Congress2
Certainly this Congress, in view of their
professions of patriotism and interest in
the prosperity and welfare and faith and
credit of the government, they ought to
have some regard for the men who bear the
burden, at least as much as they affect to
have for those who hold the obligations of
the government.
Senator William Sprague, Of Rhode
Island, thus protested:
It seems, sir, that the industries of this
country, crushed to the very earth in the
past three years, are not crushed sufficiently,
but they must have this staggering, this
most outrageous blow dealt upon them. If
there is any measure calculated to prostrate
whatever there is in the present profitable
occupation of this country, this is it. There
is no industry three years
ago--that is at all in profitable condition
except those who are receiving to-day the
pap of government appropriations. pro-
test in the name of the industries of this
country, and in their behalf, representing
them as do, and as know they at present
exist, against the additional load that will
be put on them by this most unholy and
most inConsiderate legislation.

Ons run on public life for thirty-e eight
years from the day that he went into
the House of Representatives to the end
lng Of his Senatorial term ON March A,
1898; though Charles Foster was eight
years Representative in Congress, four
years governor OF Ohio, and is now secre-
tary OF the treasury department; though
Joseph B. Foraker has been Republi-
can candidate for governor four times,
and for four years has been the governor
of Ohio, yet William Mckinley, jr, who
IL now in the 48th year Of his age, is one
Of the most prominent men In the Repub-
lICan politics of this period. He was
elected to Congress In 1876 bys majority
Of AS votes; in 1878 he lacked 139 votes
Of having a majority Of all the votes cast;
ia 1880 his majority was 2,640; In 1882
he was given the certificate of election,
but his seat was successfully contested
by Jonathan II. Wallace. He was in an
actual minority Of about 1900. In 1884
his majority was 1879; in 1886 he was In
a minority OF 813; in 1883 his majority
was 2,232, and 1890 he was 1,148 votes
short Of majority. 1t may be seen that
he has eight times been candidate for
Congress, and has served six full terms
in the House; his district has been
changed in It's number and territory a
few times. Mr.. McKinley'S first entrance
for Congress was when Rutherford B.
Hayes was governor Of Ohio and the Re-
publican candidate for president. He
was put upon q hard money plstform,
which reads as follows:
In the first act of Congress signed by
President Grant, the national government
assumed to remove any doubts Of its pur-
pose 10 discharge all just obligations to the
public creditors, and ''solemnly pledged its
faith TO make provision, at the earliest
practicable period for the redemption of
the United States notes in coin." CONNER
cial prosperity, public morals and national
credit demand that the promise be fulfilled
by continuous and steady progress to
specie payment.
AS silver had been demOnetized by an
act Of Congress in 1873, It was no wonder
that the Ohio Republicans In state con-
vention assembled, prior to the meeting
OF the national convention, which nomi-
mated Hayes for president, should re-
solve:
The national credit and honor must be
sacredly maintained. We recognize gold
"a the true standard of values, and the only
safe basis for circulating medium.
This "flrst act Of Congress signed bJ
President Grant" was entitled IAN act tc
