The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-11-02

De lnlnlUely more reSpOnSlDle IOr un-
conditional repeal than would the
Democratic party,
Senator Searcy (Rep. Wyo.) defend
ed his position on repeal. He should
vote for unconditional repeal although
he favored compromise.
Senators Carey and Wolcott then
had a little tilt which threatened to
become very personal.
Senator Dubois regretted the senator
from Wyoming did not represent his
people, but he knew the senator was
following his conscience in doing what
he thought was right.
Senator Pasco called for the reading
of his substitute, of which he gave no.
tice Saturday. 1t provides for free
coinage of silver with seignorage charge
to be determined by the market price
of silver. Senator Stewart presented
an amendment which took precedence.
This was for the reduction of the size
of gold coin and was voted down. SEN
ator Pasco's amendment was defeated,
AZ TO co.
Senator Jones (Nev.) at $50 resumed
his speech begun some days ago. De-
monetiZation of silver, said he, was
the great money centres. The banks
wanted monopoly of tie issue OF
money. They wanted the govern.
ment, after the issue of money ceased,
to turn their prerogative to them.
They will demand the issue of $780,
600, 900 in bonds, believing the distress
of the country that will follow as q re-
suit of the contraction will be so great
the government will be unable to re-
sist. Instead of issuing bonds to re-.
iieve the currency the government, in
his opinion, should issue greenbacks.
Senator Farris asked Senator Jones
at $50 il it would suit him to have the
senate adjourn. Senator Jones said it
would. Senator Harris moved to ad-
journ until II o'clock tomorrow.
Senator Morrill, (Rep., VT suggested
that an agreement could be made that
the final question on the bill be taken
up at o'clock tomorrow. Senator
Harris said he had no authority to
answer for anybody but himself and
he had been ready for days and was
ready now to vote. Senator Faulkner
was satisfied no agreement could be
made and said Senator Voorhees, was
anxious to dispose of the bill to-
night. Senator Voorhees, said he hoped
the bill would be disposed of tonight,
and as Senator Jones indicated de.
sire to proceed with his argument,
Senator Harris withdrew his motion.
In conclusion Senator Jones said,
"This will be regarded by some of my
conferees as the doom of silver but 1t is
only the beginning of the fight. We
xuho onpooa fhic poliou opd ,uho ora
against constantly increasing the
value in the unit of money, propose to
go to the American people and see to
it that every man, woman and child in
the United States understands fully
the meaning of what we intend to do
next. We may be fewer in number,
though | doubt it, but shall show
them Though there are lords on the
lowland there are chiefs in the north
Senator PETER occupied Is minutes
before vote was taken as he would
not feel that he had done his duty did
he not euter another protest against
what he considered the crowning in
fanny of the present century.
Senator Harris declared the passage
of the repeal bill meant Enthusiastically
denomination of silver as a money
metal. He characterized as absurd
the American senate, representing
10000, 900 people, in legislation should
consult ideas or policies of foreign
countries. II want to state to the
senator from Indiana and to the bal
ance of the world" said Senator Har-
ris, the time has not been, it is not
now, or can it ever come when l will
desert the convictions of a lifetime in
order to obtain allies from the camp
of an enemy.n Laughter and ap'
plausel.
Senator Stewart arose, and his first
sentence, the die is cast" caused q
ripple of laughter to roll over the gal
leries. "The surreptitious and fraud
ulent act of 1878, the demonetization of
silver Is ratified and confirmed" said
he. 'The gold kings are victorious,
the labors of their champion senator
from Ohio (Sherman) are crowned with
success" The Trojan war horse
was within the walls of the national
capitol, but the betrayal and capture
of the White House and the capture
of the two houses of congress was not
the md of the war; Senator Stewards
last words were: LET vote be taken;
let the object lesson be given. We will
abide by the result"
at 7:20 Vice President Stevenson put
the question of engrossment of the
amendment and the third reading OF
the bill was agreed to without divis-
ion. A vote was taken by yeas and
nays on the passage Of the bill as
