IN THE HOUSE.

Limit Of the Session.


ifornia Midwinter international EXPOSE
ton.
E1Mr. Johnson of Ohio. introduced his
intercOnvertible bond bill and had it re-
ferred to the banking and currency com
mittee with leave TO report at any time
after the silver debate
RESUMPTION OF DEBATE.
The silver debate was then resumed,
and Brickner, dem, Wisconsin, addressed
the House in favor of the repeal of the
purchasing clause.
Mr., Mallory, dem, Florida, was OPP
posed to the unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
and he was also opposed to the free coin
age of silver at the present ratio of Is to
/. He regretted that some middle ground
had not been reached, and it was with
hesitancy that he would vote afirma-
lively upon any of the propositions pre-
Sented to the House. He attributed to
the tariff the general share of the present
depression, but the demonstration of sill
yer would still further separate the
wealthy classes from the working
classes.
MIR. Hopkins, rep, Illinois. argued
against the Bland amendments to the
Wilson bill, and in support of the repeal
measure.
STORY OF THE BANKER.
Mr.. Lane, dem, Ill, spoke in support
of free coinage, contending that a silver
dollar was the equal of a gold dollar. in
illustration of this, he related his own ex-

and might God forget him if he forgot his
duty. Applause.
Mr.. Newlands, pop, New, voiced the
demand OF his region when he vigorously
| advocated the free coinage of silver
MR.. BYNUM FOR THE WILSON BILL.
Mr. Bynum. in advocating the Wilson
bill. said that unquestionably the best
majority of people believed that the Sher-
man law was responsible for the evils
described by the President. Since the
passage of that act the price of silver had
gone steadily down. Bv this fall the
government was losing more than S1O. OOO.-
DOO q year. Gold was beng exported IN
large sums He highly eulOgized the ac-
ton of Secretary Carlisle for his refusal to
| issue bonds He did not believe that a
vote would be changed under the threat
/ that representative would lose his seat
| if he voted for the Wilson bill. The time
had come when cant and subterfuge
should be driven from these halls and
Judgment and reason restored. Ib)-
Dlause 1t was said that silver had "
| len in value during the past twentvy s
because during that time it had BET n
under fire. There might be some trut,l
in that assertion-the United States
| could not open its mints to free coinage at
any ratio. with the mints of all the other
| civilized nations closed against it.
