sct il assured of the 're-euactnent' of

before taking up the subject Of silver
Senator Villas "(Wis.)-I don't caro-
70 discuss the subject at this time.
Senator Aldrioh (R- I)-Excuse ms
from expre-sing an opinion.
Senator Allen Wash. il voted for
it and would not favor its repeal
unless some very good reasons are
presented. confess TO dissppoint-
ment over ito operation.
Senator Bate CFenn.l-I don't care
to 10 interviewed I've voted for it
several times.
Senator Bfodgett IN. ISL should
vote for its repeal il something better
were presented in its place.
Senator Carey (Wyo.) lit 10 6 ques
ton whether this country can afford
70 shut down on the silver business.
It 10 doubtful whether we should buy
az much silver as the Sherman Law
requires. / believe in binetallisn,
but L am opposed TO free coinage.
Senator Coke Crex III voted against
the Sherman bill BECAUSE it repealed
she Bland bill. l wifi not votS for
the repeal Of the Sherman bill unless
the Bland bill or some equally good
heasure is put in 4s q substitute.
Senator Mills Tex: J. think it un-
wise to agitste tho question before the
International 'CnRfsrence 10 ended.
II the Sherman Law is repealed OF
course something else must be sub
stftuIed in it's place.
Senator Fenton (Csl.) 1t is a very
serious question and 'much depends
upon it, csnhot'express an opinion
just now.
Senator Washbhrn (htinn.)-I do
not favor the repeal Of the Sherman
bill for tho reason that no substitute
is offered.
senator Teller (Col.)--By thunderl
no. au not In favor OF tho repeal
of the Sherman bill, for tho reason
that we cannot repeal the law unless
We put something in its place thst IL
equally good. We would shut off
hfCy millions year Of silver which We
get from the bill. The people of the
United States would not DO satisfied
to have the issue OF the fifty millions
OF currsncy stop. It is needed to
keep up with the natural growth of
tho country. Nobody in this country
favors the Rothschild plan. It lie OBJ
jectioGaUe because it limits the price
that ID to he paid for silver, and ia in.
tended 10 prevent silver from going
pto its mint value.
Senator Voorhees, Gnd.J-I have
been opposed TO the Sherman bill all
along. It ia rank deception, and
nothing more than throwing tub ia
q whale. l do not think the Brussels
Conference will reach definite con.
cldsion, but look for good results
from the agitation Of the subject. ]
stand squarely on the Chicago plat
form on the ailver question, which de
clares that tho Democrats hold h
both gold and silver nc the STANDARD
money OF the country, and to the coin
age of both silver and gold %ithou
