THE WILSON BILL PASSED.
The Wilson bill passed, 239 to ITO.
Tom Reed, the eloquent leader OF the
republicans, found an answer in John
Alden of Mississippi, whose ready wit
was one of the most forcible arguments
Of the free coinage men today. j. Il.
Williams, q democratic member OF the
last committee on coioage, besought
his col eaguts to remember their party
platform, while Bourke Cochran OF
New York, repeated the incidents OF
the last democratic national convention
in which he played such an impor-
tart part and he argued that the true
Interpretation of the platform was not
that sought to be given by the gentle
man from Illinois. William l.. Will
son, the author OF the repeating bill,
and Richard P. Bland, the author of
the substitute measure upon which the
first vote W II occur, closed the debate
for their respective sides in excellent
speeches.
The speech OF Bourke Cochran was a
strong, forcible speech, but it did not
abound in those flights OF oratery
failed to devote any considerable
portion of his argument in answering
Mr.. Bryan, although he had been her
aided as the man held in reserve by the
repeating forces to answer the brilliant
young Nebraskan. His argument that
the bankers are debtor rather than q
creditor class, and that the banks OF
New York would be benefited millions
OF dollars and the day laborers of the
country robbed o: forty-fiv per cent OF
their pay by the poll ~ advocated by
Bryan and Bland was an ingenious
one; but when the Nebraskan inquired
why, if that were the case, the bankers
Of New York are denouncing himself and
Mr.. Bland, while T. V. Powderly, the
representative of organized labor, Is sup
porting their policy, The speech brought
down the applause OF the house Mr.
Cockran's brilliant remark that the
bankers believed honesty to be the best
policy was loudly applauded, but his
subsequent comment that Povderly lie
pursuing the same tide OF mental aber-
ration as Bryan and Bland was not re-
ceived by the house a retort in &C
cord8nce with the best ethics Of parl.a-
mentary courtesy.
