Sir. Blackburn addressed the senate 10
advocacy OF the free coinage Of silver. He
-a.d he had no objection 10 the fourth sec
tion of the bili 50 far as il provided for an
addition Of 100000. 900 tO the circulation
device ON the part of the Finance Commit
zee looking 20 ,he perpetuati0n 0l
a banking system that had beecn
already doomed. lie objected to The
bin az the Finance Committee because %
fell short of the demands Of the people. The
opponents OF free COINAGE might rely Oh the
ye,o power Of the President, out that would
prove tO De "a vain reliance. The Presldrn
Jared not furnish them with that veto
When the amendment passed the Senate
and tine House aud the bill went % the
President. he dared not put bis veto upon
10 unless he was prepared % sign the death
w rrant of party already doomed.
This with Nr. Blackburn was not a party
question. for he had denounced the anti
silver pOlicy Of every Administration for
the last twenty years. lt did not matter
fo him that bis own party was for touryear-
responsible for the enduring wrong. Mr..
CleNeluua's Administration was Just as
4menlble iO criticism and censure as had
been It's predecess0rOr its successor
Mr Morgan followed with speech IN "a
yOr OF free coinage. II was not worthy of
the American people, he sald, at this stage
of their progress that they should any longer
decline 70 lase their financial policy on
their own uniailing industries, not only un-
falling, but actively and enormously in
cr-asiug.
An issue Of circulation Of one, two or
three dollars 90 one dollar OF gold on silver
would Dee. he thought, an absolutely safe
circulation Of what might result from the
future production Of the mines, and with ii
there would bee established policy for th-
country as safe and immutable as tine How
OF water in the Mississippi, and which
might be calculated upon without fail
Then there would DE established policy
which, if utilized and employed in develop
ing the magnificent resources OF the cOun-
try, It's industries and its commerce would
make the United States the master Of the
world on the question Of finance.
The policy Of fear and apprehension was
not becoming 10 = people who had got their
fcet planted bY God on the rock Of safety.
Without concluding his speech. the bill
was laid aside, and the Senate. after a short
executive session, at r. N. adjourned.
