Il shall vote for the repeal of the purchas
ing clause Of the act of 1890" said Mr. Faux
ner, mot for the reason mat | believe it is
the cause Of the proStration of our business
industries and our financial stringency, nor
that it has induced want of confidence on
the part Of the people In the integrity and
stability of our financial system, but for three
good and sufficient rea sons:
81. The authority and directions ii confers
upon the secretary Of the treasury TO enter
the markers and purchase 1900. 600 ounces of
silver monthly. without any limit to tine
time when this accumulation Of bullion shall
cease. presents constant menace and tends
to press the price Of silver bullion. The
act is founded upon a false theory to the
proper functions of the government in its re-
lations to money and furnishes a vicious pre-
cedcnt for the future.
"2. In the execution of its provisions.
especially in the storing Of the bullion and
the issue Of treasury notes it has been the
fruitful source Of the strongest arguments
against the of silver a part of our
monetary system.
-. The people believe however crroneously
that lie disturbances Through which are
passing are main issues to this act. and like
any other faith cure. its repeal-Nvhich is
prOper in any eycnt--Wtll assist in restoring
confidence, the want of which is their chief
obstacle to the restoration Of the activity.
Mr.. President. although | shall vote 70 re-
peal the purchasing clause of the act of 1890,
| certainly hone 7 may not be ca'ied upon
to do SO without having first secured an
amendment TO the bill now pending before the
senate which will. by law, and not by
mere declaration, give notice to the world
that this government will exercise al It's
powers. employ all It's resources and throw
fine weight of It's great influence IN favor OF
tho rnpstah shment of silver on an equality
with gold az y standard Of ya'ue."
Mr.. Turpie Speaks.
Mr.. Turpic opened with what ne called

four hundred years and stated that it was not
