MORGAN AGAIN ron FREE COINAGE.
The Senate az lis resumed consideration
~ the financial bill. or the anti contraction
bill. as Nr. Sherman termed II IN MS mo-
ton, and Mr.. Morgan continued tho speech
begun by him yesterday in support OF tho
free-coinage amendment.
TO DIVIDE TIE SIOUX RESERVATION.
Mr.. Morgan yielded the floor Temporarily
and Mr.. Dawes presented the conierenSe
report on the bin TO carry out IN part tne
provisions OF the act to divide the sioux
Indian reservation. aud in response 70
question by Mr.. Edmunds made an enpi -
nation. He said that the commission OF
which General Crook was the head nau
promised the Sioux Indians in the course
| OF negotiations TO use it's influence at wash
| ington for the redress of certain grievances.
pRoMIsEs TO THE SIOUX.
| The commission had subsequently met
FORTY representative Sioux Indians IRON
the reservation where the present outbreak
occurred, and had undertaken to sec 20 ~
| that those outside assurances were carrleI
out. The Indian committees, OF Doth
| houses were also present. and all Deine 10
| rether q bill had been prepared 70 carry
| ont exactly the assurances as the Indians
understood them. That bill had passeu
the Senate in April last. but from dlincul,,
ties in the other branch of Congress 1t had
bnot passed the House till last month. ana
| then it contained duplicate appropriation
of 100000.
JUSTICE RATHER SLOWLY ACCORDED.
The Senate had struck out that dupli-
cate appropriation, and hence the neces-
sity Of conference. AS the OH now
stood with that duplicate appropriation
struck OUT the bill carried out TO the letter
not only ghe assurances of the commission
"a the commission understood them, out
also precisely as the Indians themselves
understood them. SO that with the Original
bill and with the spending bill all the stipu-
lations of agreement and all the assurances
of the commission would be 1ulnIeu, anu
there could be no ground on which the IN
dams could complain of the Governmeht
in any matter out of which the eAisIins
disturbances had arisen.
The conference report was agreed to, and
Mr.. Morgan resumed his speech.
MR.. MORGAN RESUMES.
He referred TO in high encomium ana
read COMES of an extract from speech
made by the late Senator Beck in support
of the bill introduced by him on the 18Th
of March, 1888, the second section OF Whlch
provided that in all future issues OF irea,
snrv certificates " coin certificates" should
be substituted for gold certihcates ana
for silver certificates"
Mr.. Morpan considered that proposition
a nerfeot solvent of the difficulty OF Keep
inc gold and silver coin in perfect balance
in the United States and had always de
sired very much to see the day wnen IL
would be adopted by Congress, and ne ek-
pected to offer like amendment 10 inc
pending bill.
BENCH ENPTYNG.
The reading became so HOMOGENEOUS that
the senators gradually withdrew from the
chamber until there were not half dozen
left. and they we're either reading, writing,
or engaged in conversation. AS MIR. Nor
gan showed symptoms of fatigue, MI.
Pasco offered 10 take his place and go on
, with the reading and the offer was &C
copied.
During an intermission of this tedious
! performance the pension appropriation
, bill and the bill appropriating SSOO.O0O for
a public building at Providence, h. -
: were reported and placed on the calendar
3 Mr.. MORGAN CONCLUDES.
At 4 o'clock MIR. Morgan, who had re-
, sumed reading, consented 10 q suggestion
coming from Mr.. Cullom that the whole o.
Mr.. Bocks speech should be considered o.
read and be republished IN the Record, ana
he closed his speech with these remarks
a / conclude by apologizing TO the Senate
: and the country for the presentation OF
: the admirable. candid, and coUrageou:
q statement of the history Of the demoneti
| cation of silver and of the consequences
, which have flowed from il. j could not by
: any degree of thoughtfulness or lnyestlga
ton ofmy own hope to present so aoi'
and powerful an argument In fayor OF th'
nendino amendment as that which hav'
8 lust read from the distinguished Senate
: from kentucky, who has so recently de
4 parted from our midst.
BEcR's SOUND VIEWS.
' thank the Senate very much for per
: mission to present again his views TO tn
y country. He was man loved Throughout
I! the length and breadth of the Union am
0 particularly loved by the people OF tn

q ance in this body as an advocate or IN

!. and West), and while I regret that GU
n party is not unit upon this great ques
the people of the United States even
dispense with the services of very grea
men because of their failure TO come up Z
l. the demands of the country on the imam
j. cial question, l may be permitted to sa
/ that the people Of the United State
o have been struggling for years an
& years together to have their VIII an
n voice obeyed on this question, and II tn
It Congress of the United States should eve
II make mistake in yielding to their d,
l. nands the people will have themselves
% blame and not us, because they have Gel
10 tainly in a most deliberate and distinct wa
10 pronounced in favor of the restoration {
silver money as a money OF legal-tendt
value and quality to the circulation or ID
