luTnDuS. The second clause directs tnaI a
certified copy of the resolution be prepared
in suitable termseby the Secretary OF State
and shall be forwarded through the Gus
tomary diplomatic channels TO the re-
spective foreign governments.
Mr.. Hoar expressed his diSapproval of
the form of the proposed acknowledgment.
He thought it an exceedingly awkward and
imperfect one. By it the government of
Great Britain would receive from the State
Department copy of joint resolution
OF Congress rendered to all governments;
1t seemed better that the President should
make pleasant, courteous acknowledge
ment to all the countries by name for its
contributions TO the exposition, Some de-
gree or ceremony should be observed in
dealing with foreign governments. 1t
seemed to him that the mode proposed in
the hastily drawn resolution would be al
most a slight TO foreign governments He
suggested substitute, and then the reso-
luton was laid aside without action, Mr..
sherman ss first expressing his opinion that
saying that it had been prepared at the
State Department. Soon after the resolu-
ton was again taken up and passed in an
amended FORM in accordance with Mr..
Hoar'S suggestion. The second part of the
joint resolution now reads: THAT the
President of the United States be requested
TO communicate to each foreign government
which has participated in said exposition
the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Congress for its
contribution"
PUGHS FINAL PROTEST.
When the silver purchase repeal bill, was
opposition to it. He expressed his belief
that nine-tenths of the Senators favoring it
did not desire either free coinage or any
degree Of silver coinage. and that President
Cleveland did not desire it. He spoke of the
compromise which had been gotten UP by
Democratic Senators, and said that COM
promise would have had the support Of
thirty-three Democratic Senators had not
President Cleveland interposed and de-
manded unconditional repeal at all hazards.
The resistance to unconditional repeal was
not to be continued, although the justifica-
ton for it should increase. The debate
would be exhausted, and further opposi-
methods. He had satisfied himself, how
ever, that he could not get a sufficient num-
bef of Senator'S to join him in the use of
what was characterized as filibustering,
and he was forced to reconsider his vote
against the diabolical measure and appeal
ID the people to- organize their forces for
rather be called hlibuster by the conspir-
ators and lickspittles of the gold ring than
be called traitor or a faithless representa-
tive of the State and people who had hon.
cred him with their trust and confidence.
He, should do his duty as a Senator. as he
understood ii, and would leave the conSe-
euences to God and his country.
MIR. Stewart followed Mr.. Pugh, and
quoted extensively from to-days papers on
nounce the gold conSpratorS as having
agents in the Capitol debating legislation,
| and as having a President determined TO
| carry out their policy. That President was
| now I'm the saddle and Congress was help
| less. He would rather sacrifice his life than
| see the country under the rule of a gold
king No political party had dared to go
before the people and ask; them to indorSe
| what was demanded. He said that if the
convictions of Senator'S could be recorded
| of two-thirdS against the repeal bill. In
| another turn of his speech he pictured the
| gold conspirators as naughty pirates" and
4 pd IN In
| tionize the money system of the world.
| The subjugation Of the two housss of Con-
| gresS to the will of the executive, he said,
was one OF those lessons of which lovers of
| liberty should take notice The gold ring
| was sapping the foundation of the govern
| ment and weakening the peoples respect
| for law. He pleaded with Senators to lay
| no heavy hand on the people, but to relieve
| them from the injustice done them by un-
/ just legislation.
| After Mr.. Stewart had read all the news
| paper articles that were supplied to him by
! his secretary, who occupied seat close at
4 hand, he read a large number of letters and
] kilograms sent to him from all over the
South and West commencing him for the
eicsht which he was making for free coinage.
| At last he came to what, he said, would be
1 very interesting matter, and he said he was
| very sorry there were not more Senators TO
| hear it. That was cue for a roll call, and
| Mr.. Allen acted on it and suggested the
| absence of q quorum. This call, at 2:40, re-
| suited in gathering fifty-four Senator's, and
then Mr.. Stewart read the interesting pa
/ per, and went with his speech. After
| declaring that 10000 600 people, pleading for
! justice, could be intimidated, he stopped
| suddenly and said he would yield TO his col
| league (Mr. jones', and would flush his
| speech afterwards.
| SENATOR JONESS SPEECH.
Mr.. Jones resumed the speech begun by
! him some weeks ago by preliminary state
| ment that the speeches that were being
made by the opponents of the bill were not
made in the hope of changing any vote in
the Senate, but because they believe in the
truth of their cause, and were determined
to present before the people Of the United
| States the basic reasons which were at the
Foundation. Abiding to what he called the
abuse and objurgations" by the news
| papers upon the Senators opposing the re-
peal BILL Mr.. Jones said: I'VE defy them
all. We laugh at them. l know that an
performing great duty in this body
duty to my cOuntry-and nothing that the
newspapers can say Will induce me tC
omit one word or to retreat one STEP MIR
| jones attributed to a defective monetary
system the fact that SO MANY men in Great
Britain and the United States are unable
to find employment, and said: The skele
ton in the closet of every nation is the idlI
men. The national policy which keeps mer
at work is the policy which makes mer
prosperous and happy. With regular worh
there would he fewer lunaticS, fewer insane
asylums, fewer jails and crimes. The bes
missionary work is that which keeps mer
employed" Mr.. Jones got off a joke on Mr.
|
himself. Mr.. Jones quoted a speech made
in the Ohio Legislature, in which the OhioaI
said: What we need is money and plenty
of it, and added: mir. Sherman might
we'll have said now, What we need is scare,
money and plenty of it, In conclusion
he delivered glowing eulogy on the silver
miners of the United States as brave an(
hardy men possessed Of self-relance, anC
| he contrasted them with the bondholders
not to the advantage of the latter They
had never asked the government for boun
| ties of any sort. They had simply asked
and only asked now, that the plain inten
OF the Constitution as to gold and silver b,
given effect.
Mr.. Jones's peroration was: 1.-The Amer
| lean Republic Mr.. President did not los
it's liberties until the Senate had degener
ated into a mere instrument for recording
the will of the chief magistrate. MacaulaI
| has commented upon the ease with which
| all democratic forms and the names an,
titles appertaining TO a republican form o
government were opposed in that common
| wealth concurrently with the absorption
| of all the powers of the state, executive
legislative and judicial, In the hands of on

| changes and men change with them. Thi
was very different republic from that o
| Rome. J. for one will not believe that the
| Senate OF the United States will ever be
