We do not want new policy. But TO
return TO the old pollCy-the policy which
was practiced from 1919 to 1860. I want
you Democrats to listen FOR I am going TO
tell you how TO get the presidency Ave
times out Of seven; and that is pretty
often. The great fight Of that grsndest
Of men, Gen. Jackson, was on the bank.
He stood squarely In the footsteps Of Mr..
Jefferson, who said: ~ sincerely believe
that banking institutions are more dan
gerous to liberty than standing armies"
He stood right In the steps Of that grand
man over In England, Lord Chatham, the
best friend American liberty ever had on
that side Of the ocean, who said: "Tf the
Americans adopt our banking and fund
ing system their liberties are gone" l
stand where John Adams stood when he
said: II always did abhor our banking
and funding systems; shall live AbhOr-
ring them and l shall die abhorring them"
Have not given you good RuthorityH
Gen. Jackson made the highest fame
that he has enjoyed by a fight on the
bank Of the United States; and he beat
the bank, although, according to good
the bank spent $3,0O0,0O0 In
briblng persons In order to defeat him.
And during that fight, as have under
stood, his life was attempted out here on
the eastern pOrtico Of this capitol because
Of his fight on the bank. More than that,
when successor of his sent to the Sem
ate a veto message OF bank bill, that .
message was hISsed-the only occasion,
20 far as / have ever heard, where the
message Of any president has been Kissed
ia bAO DoA@bo CnbmOoEs lOu HSo uOW buo
enemy we have to deal with.
Gen. jackson made hls reputation fight
ing the bank. He was re. elected. Mar
Tin Van Buren, said: ~ will walk in the
Of my illustrious predecessor"
He was elected. Then for five successive
the Democratic party had In
ltS platform the declaration, "a national
bank is unconstitutional and dangerous
% liberty" There were seven pEeslden-
iisl elections which were fought on that
bank question from the time Of Gen.
Jackson down to 1856, and during that
lime the Democrats gained five victories
In seven campaigns. In 1860 that plank
was left out Of the Democratic platform.
Since that time there have been eight
presidential elections and the Democratic
party has gained but one.

INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL.

Remarks of Hon. John Davis, Of Kansas, in
the House Of Representatives, Thursday,
February IS, 1892.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: hGYe been very
much interested in the discussions Of
this question. It ls q double question.
Il is race questlon-an Indian question
and, also, money question. The In
dian phase of 1t has been pretty thor
oughly discussed. We have had both
sides of the Indian question painted for
us-the dark side and the bright. / am
not wholly ignorant myself Of the two
sides OF that question. Ny first knowl-
edge of the Indians was away back In the
thirties, when was mere child, and
when the Sac and Fox Indians were our
neighbors In my native state.
Later on, members Of my family have
travelled among the Indians in New Mex
leo, Arizona, Oklahoma and Alaska, and
but recently member of my family re-
turned from two years. travel In Alaska;
so, l think know something Of the In
dian, both from hearsay and observation;
and my mind is thoroughly made up that
the liberal policy of treating the Indians
Is the proper one. The Indian, when we
find him in state Of ssvagery, is, In
many respects, at the very bottom Of the
ladder, but he has his good qualities. He
can be raised, he has been raised, he will
be raised still more. II we have not the
best policy now, let us amend It until we
find the best policy. Do not let US stop.
The gentleman from Michigan (Mr.
Chipman) uttered my sentiments all
through his very able and timely speech.
He made the first half of my speech for
me, and l told him would say 80, and
would pass over without discussion the
ground covered by him.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, let US discuss an
other side Of this double question; the
money side, il you please. That side
must be considered because somebody
has, probably, got to be taxed. Wehsve
had the money question brought In here
to-day aside from taxation. One gentle
man advocated the free colnsge Of silver.
l think he was right. Another gentle
man said that he was opposed to paying
q premium to the owners Of silver bull
Ion, and hence, was not in favor Of the
4121l grains silver dollar.
Well, Supposing you do not agree to
that, then you have given premium to
the gold dollar, so you must give pre-
MUM one way or the other, whether you
coin the silver dollar or not. Let us go
back to the beginning, when in IT'S the
great Father of American liberty, George
Washington, and that other grand man,
Thomas Jefferson, long before the Amer
lean constitution was adopted, agreed
The advocate., 1892-03-09

that they would take the Spanish milled
dollar as the unit Of account and standard
Of value for this country. They agreed
to this, and it was made the lawful dol
lar soon after the constitution was
adopted, think In 1892, and it remained
the lawful standard dollar until 1873,
when 1t was clandestinely dropped from
the coinage. / would go back and undo
the blunder, or crime, Of 1878.
/ would relnstate the old dollar as it
was. The silver In the silver dollar has
not deprecated one particle as compared
with the general prices Of other property.
The bullion In the silver dollar will buy
as much Of the products Of labor to-day
ss it would in 1873, when it was worth
8 cents more than the bullion In the gold
dollar. It has not deprecated, but by
cutting off silver you have "boomed"
gold and put It at a premium. / would
take of that "boom," take off that pre-
MUM. / would restore silver to It's
ancient status, precisely as it was, and
let the two metals fight It out. One
gentleman remarked here that every
body preferred gold.
Why, sir, in my desk at my room, l
have a circular issued In 1885 by the
associated bankers Of New York, where
in they voluntarily proposed to pay ten
millions In gold coin for the same amount
In silver coin. The government agreed
that they might have 1t. Did they take
the heaviest dollarH The government
has trade dollars Of 400 grains, It had
dollars Of 4l91S grains, and it had sub
sldiary coin of SS5 grains to the dollar,
and when those bankers made that bar
gain they voluntarily took the lightest
silver coin, and after they had made the
first trade they wanted to make another
just like it.
Another point, Mr.. Chairman, fully
half of the silver certificates now ahoat
went out on the deposit Of gold coin, be-
cause the holders Of the gold preferred
paper, although 1t was redeemsble only
In silver dollars. Never In the world can
they get the gold coin back again through
those silver certificates; and yet, in 1884
and 1886, exchanges Of that sort were
made TO the amount of more than $780,
100000.
Now, am going to take up branch
Of the subject not yet spoken Of. am
one Of those men who like to do what is
square and right. We have, on the one
hand, class of bankers who are In favor
Of getting the general currency 80 con
