the north pledges meant something
and pledges of democrats in
the north had changed a great
minority into great majority. How was
that majority made up? By accessions
from the republican party and if those &C
cessions were lost it would be because
democrats we're false TO pledges. Ii free
coinage Is established by democratic votes
the reform of the tariff is at an end
The people of the north could
stand taxation under unjust laws, but
they are not ready to go into national
bankruptcy and pay 70 cents on a dollar.
The democrats would have to decide on
two things, the farmers alliance in the
south or the democratic alliance In the
north. He did not know which was the
more important, that congressman should
be returned from Georgia and Mississippi
or a democratic president elected this
year.
Reed (Me) cordially agreed for once
with the gentleman from Massachusetts.
The latter had pointed to a democratic
majority secured by false pledges to the
people, tt pledges now In process of be-
ing broken. Under the guise that it was
going to give good currency to the
country, the democratic party had stolen a
march on the republicans of the north and
the gentleman from Massachusetts had ftly
characterize the results. Upon delusiva
statements OF improper means used In the
51st congress, the democrats had gone be-
fore the people denounclng lotions which
this very day they surpassed. (Republican
appIause2. They themselves had overrid
den what they called the sacred rights of
the minority with harder boot than they
had ever been ridden over before. TLey de-
iiberatejy overrued tbs decision of Speaker
Carlisle, who in the 50th congress decided
that no business could be transacted till
the journal was approved. In their eager
ness to override the rights of the minority
they had overridden the decision of the
speaker they had hitherto said they had
delighted to honor. Here was two-thlrds
of the capital stock OF the last election
flung to the winds. When the people got
up to expose them the people would gladly
rectify the frightful mistake they made in
1890. Never since the world was created
had their been such an instance of the
power of lying over the truth. The gen
tleman from Massachusetts now heard the
tramp Of the grand army of truth, some
times delay ed, sometimes defeated but IN
the end eternally triumphant. (Republi-
can applause.)
Pierce Tenn said that within the last
four years twenty-eight democratic state
conventions had declared for the free
coinage OF silver. The republicans, in 'S8
deceived the people when they declared
that they were in favor of the free coinage
of silver. Bland said the free coinage
question was one which ought to be con-
sidered independent Of any party exigency
connected with it. The Carlisle ruling,
referred to by Reed, did not apply to the
present case.
