NO FREE SILVER.

Hon. Jerry simpson Before the House
Coinage Committee The Oommittee
Against Free Coinage The DIN Frac-
tically Dead.
WASHINGTON, Feb Congressman
elect Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, repre-
senting the Farmers alliance. was tho
last of the speakers before the house
coinage committee Yesterday. He said
the farmers of the country demanded
and would insist on more money. He
advocated free coinage as one means to
this end, and also the subtreasury
scheme and the issuance of paper
money as other methods whereby more
money could be put in circulation. The
people demanded a great deal more
money, and it was the duty Of the gov
eminent to furnish it.
Mr.. Simpson said he did not care if
free coinage did cause silver to como to
the United States; he wished It would
for it would give the people more
money.
Within ten minutes from the time the
hearing was closed on the silver ques-
ton, at o'clock in the afternoon, the
members of the house coinage commit
tee had left the rooms of the ways and
means committee, in which the hear
ings had been conducted, and assembled
in the regular meeting room of the COM
mittee. There was practically no dis
cussion in committee and the members
proceeded promptly to voting.
The first vote taken was on the sem
ate bill for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. On a yea and nay vote it
was decided by majority of to to
report this bill to the house adversely
with recommendation that it should
not pass. The four members in the
minority were the old free coinage con-
tingent of the committee-Messrs. Car
ter of Montana and Bartine of Nevada,
and Bland of Missouri and
Williams of Illinois, democrats.
The anti-silver men are very well
pleased with the situation, and Repre-
Walker, of Massachusetts,,
predicted that the bill would never see
the light again in this congress.

many Nebraska farmers have wheat to

will not only be able to furnish all the
seed wheat desired, but quantity is
yet to be marketed from various por-
tons of the state sufficient possibly to

The Senate Finance Committee Reports
Adversely With Severe Comments.

The Senate Finance Committee Reports n
Adversely with Severe Comments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Cnder in
s.ructions from the COMMITTEES ON Fl
nance, Senator Morrill,, the chairman,
reported adversely to the Senate the
Stanford bill Ito provide the Govern
ment with means sufficient to supply
the national want of a sound circulate
ing medium" Senator Morrill,, in his
report, says the bill appears to be in
tended to supply paper legal tender
currency by permitting any owner Of
land to give q lien upon the same for
twenty years to the United States Gov
eminent, for which the mortgagor is to
receive legal tender paper currency,
and be charged per cent. interest The
measure is of unlimited magnitude and
demands serious consideration from the
high and estimable character of Its dis
tinguished author.
The report contends that land own
ers. for the largest part the only class
to be benefited, are too intelligent and
prudent to cover their homesteads with
mortgages, and even young men start
ing in life, when borrowing capital. do
not intend to remain twenty years in
debt. But the low rate of interest of.
fered to land owners might inspire i'm
provident habits and extravagant specu-
lation in a class of people now almost
free from such temptations
The report says that the bill embodies
the principle put forth more than a CEN
fury ago by the notorious John Law,
that paper currency issued ON land not
exceeding its value will not depreciate.
Experience has shown that whenever
such reckless experiments, intended TO
secure cheap money, have been tried,
they have ended in commercial crisis,
bankruptcy and national loss.
The report compares the measure UNI
der discussion to the Argentine Rcpub-
lie and colonial currency schemes, both
Of which, says the committee, resulted
in shame and disaster.
