EXPLANATION OF HARD TIMES.
Mr. Jones. OF Nevada. then proceeiod
10 address the Senate In continuation Of
the speech begun by him Last week. this
being the third instalrnent OF e. He said
that he had been asked TO explain what
hard lines meant. He would say that
hard timcs' meant falling prices meant
monetary idieness. meant an increasing
number OF people In insane asyluns and
the creditor, and unjust exaction from the
debtor and meant the dIscouragement CT
all business enterprises and projects
Mr.. Jones argued at great length 10
show that there never had been too much
money. gold or silver. In the world. a5d
that the value OF money was not. az
Mr.. Sherman had contended, dependent
upon its quality: but that the quality was
dependent upon the quantity. His argE-
rncnt was very close and forcible, and re-
ceiyed great attention on the floor and
In the galleries,
He asserted that the United States Lad
reached the maximum in the production CT
silver. and he asked whether anybody
doubted that. IL all the gold and silver
OF the country were demonetiZed, ara
100000 900 worth OF paper money were
issued to take their place. each of those
paDer dollars would be worth three DOL
lars I'm gold at the present day. He ar
p,,cd that. even under the operation OF
the sherman act. the supply OF money
Uae less than the wants OF the country
reo,,ired. and declared that the repeal
Of that law would be one Of the worst
crimes that could be committed against
society
at this point he was asked by MT.
Voorhees, whether IL would be agreeable
10 him TO Weld as he understood that
81 cannot conclude, for two or three
more DAVIS" Mr.. Jones said. II have not
the slightest idea OF occupying the Tune
M the Senate but / wish to put one
phase of our side OF the question In con-
secutive form. and l hope that AT q
subsequent period ! shall be able 10
continue my argument
A MATTER PERSONAL.
Mr. Harris. rising to n matter personal
20 himself. related the particulars or an
interview he'd with him some Gays ago
hv the reporter OF Il New York journal.
When he read the report OF II, ne
realized that either he had made-fi very
buneling statement, or that the reporter
had utterly failed 10 comprehend 1t. lie
had been represented as indulgng In
threat against the Nice-President in the
event that he should rule a given way
ON a given question. Another New YORK
journal had taken the interview up, anu
had put him in the absurd atutuue y,
declaring that the Vlce-President %ou,u
be killed in his seat If he dared 10 RUE
in n given way on given question:.
He simply desired 10 say that ne had
made no such utterance and that no
conclusion from what he did say could be
drawn more absurd and untrue. Con-
tests in the Senate were contests or rea-
son. not OF the prize-ring. They were con-
tests of intellect and OF reason, ana OF no
other character. He disclaimed utterly
the brutalities attributed TO him. lie was
happ.. TO be able TO say that the relations
both personal and official, between the
Vice-President and himself had been OF
the kindest character from the beginning
of the session until now.
The Senate. at p. NJ. after short
executive session. took recess until III
o'clock next Monday.
The executive session was devoted to a
few minor nominations that were over
looked yesterday. The nomination OF MT.

the Supreme Court has not, 1t Is under
stood. been reported from the judiciary
Committee.
