VANCE'S SILVER SPEECH
The North Carolinian Objects

WILSON'S REPEAL BILL COMES UP

But He is Sharp Enough to Admit That

the Forewinds When Such Action as
This IS Taken.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The ordinary
routine business Of the Senate was dis
posed of in about twenty minutes and
then the House bill to repeal part of the
Sherman act was taken up. Senator
Vance spoke in opposition to the bill.
vance's EIoquence an d Sarcasm.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Senator Vance,
of North Carolins, addressed the Senate
to-day upon the silver question.
He prefaced his remarks with the
statement that the great law of supply
and demand operated in regard to money
Just as it did everything else. When
money was abundant, prices were high.
When it was scarce, the prices of all
products were low. Therefore, that
increased abundance of money benefited
production and enhanced prices and
wages and he that contracted or dimin-
ished the amount of this money depre-
ciated everything that is for sale, in
cluding wages, though by reason of com
bination and defensive measures, in many
parts of the world, wages are affected
less than products.
Prices Lower Than Ever Known.
The effect upon the condition of man
kind which would follow the destruction
of half of the currency of the world,
amounting in the aggregate 81, 500, 600, 00(
it would be impossible to accurately
describe. Still the process of destruc
tion had been going on quietly since
1872, and its result is seen in prices
lower in many things than has ever beer
known in the memory of man.
Result of Conspiracy.
The speaker then went into the his
tory of the demonetization of silver
He said that this movement for repea
was the result of a conspiracy among
the money holders of the world. ThI
method of the attack was by the crea
tion of panic. The departure of golC
from this country, some time ago, hat
been attributed to the Sherman law
If so, the Sherman law surely brought il
back, too.
Members sof Congress on both side
wanted gold and silver coined on equa
terms, according to their platforms, e.
they stopped coming silver.
Sarcastic Reference TO Inconsistency.
The Senator referred in most sarcas
tic terms to the inconsistency of sucl
actions. II such an Interpretation o.
the Democratic platform had been an
nounced during the campaign he wa
quite sure Mr.. Cleveland could not hav
carried single electoral vote south o
the Potomac river
Senator Vance acknowledged that tn
repeal bill would pass, but he aske,

of the Democracy platform in the fac
of one promise broken.
