VIEWS Of Mr. GORMAN
Concerning the Struggle
Over the Silver Bill.
SMALL STUMBLING BLOCK.
Time Limit For Stopping Silver Pur-
chases the Question.

WASH GToN, Oct2l senator German,
Eho nas been fro II the first one OF the
,hrewdest promoters OF feasible solution
VI the pending deadlock on the silver
question In the senate, says, concerning
the status OF the silver problemi
IAN there is in IL is the question Of limit
OF time for the continuance Of the pur-
ct ases OF silver. 1t may be a little while
before the matter on this line can be fully
adjusted, but IL Is certain to come out
that way. There never was any other
way. That have claimed from the first
As understand IL, the president, while
preferring unconditional repeal, Is not dis
posed TO interpose objection to the fixing
of limit when silver purchases shall stop.
II think Jan. |, 1895, fair limit. Un-
derstand this does not mean the final dis
position Of the silver question, but it wipes
out all existing conditions which are Of
doubtful expediency. and then we can
agree upon some adjustment The ex-
tremes Of both sides have caused = very
wrong judgment on silver The country
will find that silver Is an indispensable
medium Of "A yreat commercial union. 1t
always has been and possibly always will
be, but conditions change with the devel.
opment Of things, and sometimes it Is
necessary to adjust to these new condi-
tions. That is what we want to do with
silver. and that Is what will be done.
The Way Out.
Senator Sherman discuss this whole
question before congress met. It was
then proposed to repeal the whole silver
act OF 1890. When congress got together
1t was proposed only to repeal the pur-
chasing clause. This had some appear
ancs of direct blow at silver aud natur-
ally rallied all the silver advocates il it's
support. Ia my opinion all the interests
of the country ask is some definite policy.
BY fixing time In the future we will
work up TO the requirements of the none
tary operations OF our great and growing
country.
81 hardly think that the silver state sen.
ators will object to this solution, but Of
course no movements can be held In that
direction until we are sure Of our own
footing. Some Of our own people have
been very extreme in their advocacy Of un-
conditional repeal, but that is impractt-
cable.
''If the administration acq uiesces heart
lily in the proposed solution 1t will prob
ably carry all its friends. Whatever the
position OF the Republican senators may
be, am confident they will not ob,truot.
They may differ as to the limit Of time. but
that can be easily adjusted"
"Middls OF Next Week."
Seven or eight Democratic sen ators Wis
tied Secretary Carlisle as the representa-
tive of the administration at the treasury,
and submitted to him a proposition to
take the PLACE Of the repeal measure now
before the senate, which they thought
practically all the Democratic senators
would support. Secretary Carlisle dis
sented from some of the terms OF the
proposition, and showed wherein they
would in practical operation be objection.
able.
There is excellent reason for saying.
however, that before the middle Of next
week the repeal bill will pass to take
effect not later than the first Of October.
probably with provision authorizing the
secretary Of the treasury to issue bonds
not exceeding 500, zoo, 900 and coin the
seigniorage now in the treasury.
This, IL is said, would not be considered
a surrender 10y the administration, and II
is stated on reliable authority that the
bill passed in this shape would not be OBJ
jectionable to the president.
Senate Proceedings.
When the senate entered upon the
fourth installment of the legislative day
Of Tuesday, Mr.. Voorhees, Dem., Ind.)
gave notice Of an amendment to the rules.
