why did the president say IN a con.
temPtuous manner that he would have
congress on his handsl Why did he
say congressman were obstinate and
would not allow others who knew all
about It TO establish the financial policy
of the country' Did 1t arise from
knowiedges 10 what public document
had the president ever showed any
light on great question of 6nances
If we would stop the necessity for revo.
luton and preserve the equilibrium of
the departments of the government
we must protest now. The attention
of the people must be called to aggres-
sion. 1t is the only way to preserve
the independence of the coordinate
branches OF the government
Mr.. Stewart had read an article
from New York paper which said
"Mr. voorhees,, free coinage chairman
OF the finance committe, had received a
plum from the administration in the
appointment Of a friend as fourth au-
ditor of the treasury" Senator voor-
hees stepped up to the clerks desk a.
soon as his name was mentioned, but
Senator Stewart said he had not had
the article read for the purpose of re-
fecting on the senator from Indiana,
and Senator Voorhees, took his seat. II
was now ! O'Clock, and Stewart then
asked that his resolution 20 over until
tomorrow instead of being placed on
the calendar. The repeal bill was taken
up and Senator Stewart continued his
remarks, addressing wholly TO the re.
peal bill, however, Senator Stewart
yielded to Senator Cameron of Penn.
sylvania, who spoke against repeal
CAMERON TO THE FRONT.
Senator Cameron said: Under the
much abused Sherman act We incres sed
our currency now about sac, 900 600 a
year, barely enough to meet the needs
of the natural increase of population
In very few years this act will un.
doubtedly restrict coinage. The people
OF Pennsylvania want even now, and
expressly require, a greater increase
than this. If silver is sacrificed mann
facturers will be responsible for it, and
in that case take it for granted the
silver states will revenge themselves By
throwing all their weight on the side Of
reduction of the tariff. Our manufac
turers might flourish on low silver and
high tariff; they must perish on high
gold and low tariff. l propose a gold
loan of SO many hundred million dol
lars as congress may decide, to bs
bought at the market rate and held in
the treasury rs gold reserve, as it /.
held in the Bank of France and by the
governments of the Latin union. pro
pose to open cur mints to free coinag
of American silver, with a duty on the
importation Of foreign silver. l pro
pose further 10 repeal the tax on the
state bank circulation. ! would also
press once more for action in favor OF
our shipping to meet in part the deficit
in our treasury for next year. Iwould
reimPose duty of . cents pound on
sugar and repeal the bounty. Then !
would wait a year, see how the system
worked and how far we are affected by
foreign influence
STEWART AGAIN on TIRE FLOOR.
At ! o'clock Senator Stewart again
took the floor. In reading the letter
from Cleveland, he criticised The use
of the word intrinsic" as applied to
the value of gold and silver, and sa i'd
the president did not know what he
was talking about. He read from news
papers various articles as to the atti
tude Of the president, finally coming
TO the published telegram from the
president TO Chairman wilson of the
ways and means committee, consratu.
latins him on the passage through the
house of the repeal bill. "In the hun.
dred odd years of American independ.
ence, there has been no preceden, for
such action" said Stewart. 1t seemed
from that dispatch, tie said, that the
president regarded congress as his ser
want and thanking il as good and
faithful servant for doing his bidding.
