 TELLER's SPEECH.
 WAsHISGToN-The senate bill intro duced by MT. Stewart to provide for the free coinage of gold and silver bull lion was taken up and Mir. Morrel pro- ceeded to address the senate. In a speech of an hour and half he oppos- ed the free coinage of silver. After he had finis he'd, Teller, of Colorado, ad- dressed the senate in support of Stew arts bill. He was listened to with close attention. The galleries were | packed with an attentive audience. Senator Teller said:
 A certain public man who has not yet taken his seat (meaning HilD had announced that the act of July 1890 had to be repealed but he (Mr, Teller) asserted that it would not be repealed | There was no considerable number of | public men in the country who would dare repeal it. It might be repealed ii the same amount of money was given to the people and that could only be done by free coinage or by an unlimited issue of money at the option of the government. The latter would never take place and so the act of July 1890 would not be repealed. HARRISON WRONG.
 He entered a protest against the declaration ol the executive and of the senator from Vermont, that the silver men were responsible for the legisla- ton of 1890. He himself had declar- ed that he would vote for it with ex- treme reluctance-that he would vote for k because he believed that it would revive dropping industries, would stimulate business and would bring hope and courage to the people of the United States, Hedid not vote for it because it was silver bill, for it was not.
 SILVER COMMODITY.
 There was now 499.OO0 600 ounces of silver in the country practically in use as money and every year added to 1t 54 ,0O0, 900 ounces. In ten years there would be l ,OOo, GOO 900 ounces of silver in the cofiers of the government! It would not make much difference as to the care of it. A hole might be dug into into the ground and the sil- yer dumped into it where if would be safe from thieves and robbers, from rust and decay. The act of 1890, treated that silver as a commodity, 1t degraded it and held it in sublection to gold. By and by the people of the United States would say that they had great interest in the amount of sii- yer in the trs asury. that 1t was theirs that every ounce of it had been bought [ with their sweat and blood and they would not let it be despised or sold al less than s129 per ounce. When there was an undue amount of silveI in the treasury the country would ) come 10 silver basis, and if 1t ever dd 50 it would be through the acs of 1890.
 ONLY BLIND.
 NIT. Teller referred to the fact o the president. having sent New : York banker (Mr. Seligman) to Berlin in connection with the silver question .IG .aid thhe supposed that that was q delightful way of of giving somebody trip to Europe at the ex- pense of the government. Certainly . all the benefit to be derived from il would 5e by the individual whose h expenses would be paid. He (Teller. , could name twenty men in public D life who could have gone to Europe ! and made a report that would have been Of value, but no such report could be got from bankers or monemetall- is,s.
