TALK is CHEAP,
While Money Still Commands a Very
High Price.
THE GIANT ADVOCATES OF SILVER
Are Forcing the Fight to the Exclusion Of
Other Questions -Bland's Warning.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The allah
sorbing topic Of discussion in both
houses Of congress is the money ques-
ton. No matter what is before the body
temporarily, the mind of the average
member is on this question, and ne can
not put it away. The main battle
ground is in the house, where the two
weeks debate was begun last week. The
republicans are showing reticent dis
position, waiting to see the outcome OF
the fight among the democrats, who are
seriously divided.
The sensations of the week were'Gaused
by the change of policy in the Washing
ton Post and the New York Recorder,
both republican papers. The former
admits that the repeslers are already de-
Heated, while the latter comes out fair
and square in favor of free coinage.
WASHINGTON, August 1--we do not
intend that any political party shall sur
vive that will lay the confscsting hand
upon America in the interest Of England
and Of Europe, and demonetize silver IN
this country, and, my friends Of the east
ern democracy, we bid you farewell when
you do it."
These were the words Of Richard P.
Bland in the great financial contest that
opened in the house of representatives
to-day, and the applause that followed
the determined uttersnce demonstrated
that the great silver leader had with him
q material element OF the democratic
party. 1t brought every member OF the
house to realization that the most seri-
GUS crisis in the democratic party since
the dissensions of slavery was at hand,
and that the division Of 1893, like the
division of 1861, would be largely on
sectional lines.
The conference of silver and Rnti-silVer
men has reached an agreement by which
general debate on q bill for the repeal Of
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
law ls to be limited to eleven days. This
will be followed by debate for three days
under the fve-minute rule, when voting
will begin on the bill and various silver
amendments.
Mr.. Wilson, democrat, Of West Vir-
ginia, introduced the repeal bill in the
house Immediately after the reading Of
the journal.
Representative Bland offered the
agreement made this morning governing
the course Of debate.
The repeal bill provides that 80 much

will withdraw that epithet rs the rep
resentatives Of the moneyed power and
moneyed interests instead as of repre-
sentativss Of the American people. You
cannot hold the democratic party to-
gether on thatline." [Applause.l
Mr.. Pence (POp., Colo.) was the next
speaker, and with his opening sentences
he attracted the close attention Of the
house and retained it to the end. No
other man has succeeded in so impress
ing himself upon the favorable consider
alton Of his associates on the floor at
such an early period of his membership,
He was sorry, he said, to note by the
tone and words of the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. Rsynor), who opened the
discussion, that he was influenced by the
columns Of the metropolitan press, and
was disposed to treat representatives OF
the western districts, and particularly Of
those states whore silver is mined, as
foreigners and aliens.
He did not exactly comprehend the
reason why that gentleman should speok
of the treasury department as acting the
part Of pawnbroker to the silver min
ers Of Colorado and Nevada. It might
be that the gentleman knew more Of the
pSwnbroking business than he (Mr.
Pence) did, or it might be on account Of
the practice Of the treasury department
to jew down the men who brought silver
there to sell; because it was now beyond
the question that such was the policy Of
the department.
1t was because the people OF Colorado
had come to understand that the plat
form OF the two great political parties
were but glittering cstch-words; that
they had, within the last twelve months,
asserted their political independence.
1t was not (Rs the New York Sun said)
because Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, was a czar
that the democratic party had come into
power. It was because it had declared
unequivocally for the reconciliation Of
silver.
The scene in the house to day was
enough TO attract the attention of any
thoughtful observer. Was it possible
that the gentleman from Maryland (Mr.
Rsynor) uttering the sentiments be did,
and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr.
BlandO uttering the sentiments he did,
were elected last fall on the same identi-
cal platformH Laughter on all sides.
When the democratic party met in
convention in 1884, Mr.. Pence continued,
it declared it's belief in honest money;
that gold and silver is the coinage Of the
constitution, and is circulating medium
convertible into such money, without
loss. That meant, he said, the remone-
tization Of silver at it's old ratio; and it
was 30 accepted by the silver producers.
But even before Mr.. Cleveland's first in
.ugnration, that platform had been de-
Continued on page ls.J
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

number of gentlemen had changed their
opinions on the silver question. The
gentleman who had just taken his seat
(Mr. BROWN had been regarded as one of
the most ardent and able advocates Of
bi-metRllism. He had retreRtsd from a
part of the Chicago plRtform-from that
part Of all others that had contributed
to give him a seat in the house. He had
turned his face towards the east and his
back towards the west. He appealed to
members to stand by bi-metsllism, and
not to obey the commands Of the Shy
locks. France, he went on to say, had
afforded a medium of exchange for all
the world during seventy years at a
ratio Of 1518 Of silver to ] OF gold. AT
that ratio France had been able to main
tain the parity OF the two metals all over
the world.
"And yet" he said with vehemence,
I'VE are asked here to-day to lay the
bloody hand Of conhscstion on millions
Of our population in order to satisfy the
greed of England. Will congress do iti
Will you trample down the interests Of
your own people and destroy the value Of

Speaking for the mass Of the people
Of the Mississippi valley, and Of the peo-
pie west Of it, 1 say you shall not do it.
Renewed spplause.l
"And anybody and any party that un-

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

Of the act approved July IA, 1890, as di-
rects the secretary Of the treasury to
purchase from time to time silver bull
lion to the aggregate amount of 4,50O,-
600 ounces, or so much thereof as may
be offered in each month at the market
price thereof, not exceeding 81 for 81 a
grains Of pure silver, and to issue in pay
ment for such purchase treasury notes
Of the United States, be and the same is
hereby repealed.
Mr.. Bland presented the following bill
OF the silver men, which provides for
free coinage and repesls the silver pur-
chasing laws:
"Be it enacted, etc, that from and
after the passage Of this act all holders
Of silver bullion to the amount of 800
or more standard weight and fineness,
shall be entitled to have the same coined
at the mints of the United States into
silver dollars Of the weight and fineness
provided for in section 2 of this act.
"Sec. 2. That the silver dollar pro-
vided for in tbissot shall consist of 4121S
grains of standard silver, said dollar to
be legal tender for all debts, dues and
demands, both public and private.
"Seo. g. The holders OF the silver dol
lars herein provided for shall be entitled
to deposit the same and receive silver
certificates in the manner provided by
law for the standard silver dollar.
"Sec. 4. So much Of the act Of July
IA, 1890, as requires the monthly pur-
chase Of 100000 ounces of silver bullion
be and the same is hereby repealed"
Mr.. Rsynor, democrat, Maryland, was
the first speaker and he was an impRs-
stoned one. He was, he said, in favor of
the unqualified repeal of the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman bill without any
condition or proviso whatsoever. He
was not in favor of purchasing another
ounce Of silver, or the coinage Uf it at
the present ratio or any other ratio. He
desired to say that he had no hos
tility whatever to the use of silver on q
propek basis as a circulating mediHm;
but, after earnest consideration, he was
convinced beyond all doubt and ques-
tion that its recognition as circulating
medium without international agree
ment was financial undertaking utterly
impossible Of accomplishment, except at
the risk OF ruin and disaster. In his
opinion the present ratio was unjust and
arbitrary.
Mr.. Brown (Dsm., Ind who followed
Mr.. Rsynor, expressed himself in favor
Of the free coinage of silver, but in view
OF the havoc to business brought about
by the Sherman law, and in view Of the
declarations of the democratic platform
at Chicago, he would vote for the repeal
Of the Sherman law in any event, condl-
tions or no conditions.
Mr.. Bland (dem., No., the great silver
advocate, was then recognized by the
speaker He expressed his regret that q

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The business Of the now year opens
well, though there has hardly been
time as yet to get fairly under way.
In some branches Of manufacturing
there is a very conservative feeling
owing to scantness Of satisfactory or
ders, but in the textile branches, the
extraordinary demand creates general
confidence. In every part q the conn-
try, and apparently in almost every
branch Of business, the traders are
looking forward to year Of large

the years opens with a considerable
feeling Of uncertainty owing to the re-

Senator John Edward Kenna, Of
West Virginia, died at 3 o'clock this
morning at his residence 1870 B street
y. f., Washington, from heart disease.
Senator Kenna had been i'll several
weeks and on several occasions was 50
low that his physician, Dir. Sewers,
despaired Of his recovery. He rallied
after each severe attack, however, and
for ten days previous to yesterday
hopes were entertained hat he would
get well. Sunday night he was taken
worse but rallied slightly and yester-
day rested quietly throughout the day
Last evening there was a recurrence
Of alarming symptoms but as lie ap
peared to be no worse than during
previous sinking spells an immediate
fatal termination was not anticipated.
AIT. one o'clock this morning a repor-
ter who sought information at the
senator's residence was informed that
no change mad taken place in his con
dition for several hours. The Senator
began to sink rapidly, however, 4 short
time later and the end was somewhat
sadden though not unexpected by the
watchers at his bedside.
