Democrats Will Not Agree to
Carlisle's Compromise.
THE END SEEMS FAR AWAY NOW.
Palmer and Voorhees, Express In
patience With the Mine-Owners.


wAsHrSerox ciry. Oct 3-Ths dificul-
ties IN the way OF securing q comprorniss
on the repeal bill become more aud more
apparent every day because of the differ
ences which exist In the Democratic
chamber. principally on the question of
issuing bonds. Some. especially the cham
pions of the administrator. insist that If
silver is TO be coined 10 sise extent Of seven
or eight hundred miiiioHs. as proposed, in
order to preserve the parity OF gold and
silver IL will be ABSOLUTELY necessary to
procure q greater supply OF gold. This
position Is combatted byIa majority OF the
silver Democrats. ard many Of them an
nounce unalierable opposition. The dis
cussion has also developed the fact that
there are some Democratic senators who
favor repeal who will not vote for the bond
issue because of the bad effect which they
think adoption of such q policy would
have upon the party. Unless the bond
question can be In some way eliminated
from the measure. it seems impossible for
the Democrats to agree upon the bin as
party measure.
w. NJ. Springer. of Illinois, chairman of
the house committee on coinage. says:
There will be no compromise On silver
repeal. IL the senate does not pass the
repeal bill there will be no repeal of the
Federal election laws and no tariff iegis-
lation. and none of the Democratic meas
ures which 1t was hored this congress
would pass will be adopted. The bill To
repeal the Sherman law win be kept before
the senate. and will not be Withdrawn
before being voted on under any circum-
stances. There has never been such a
thing known as absolutely Indefinite fill
clustering. and don't teIieye the prsce-
dent will be established nbw. The oppor-
ianity must, suppose, : given to those
press their views. but shenn they have
done so the vote on unconditional repeal
cannot long be delayed. hnd the bill viii
pass"
Manderson of Nebraska. on the other
hand, says there viii be compromise
Ii may not come for two or three weeks,
but ii will come.
Morgan today introduced an amendment
to the repeal bill intended to give effect to
the free coinage provision Of the law. pro-
viding also for reciprocity with other ma
tions by reducing ths import duties on
goods from other countries when they
shall be sent to this country in American
vessels or in vessels Of country which
shall recognize the silver dollar of the
United States as legal tender.
Springer has been looking into the Ques-
ton whether the passage of either OF the
silver repeal bills woaid restore the abso-
lutte free coinage act of 1887. He has con-
ciuded that revival of the clause fixing the
amount of silver in standard silver dol
lar might possibly be construed as war
ranting unlimited coinage of silver by the
secretary of the treasury. Springer con-
suited Carlisle. who expressed the opinion
that free coinage would not result from the
passage of either bill. He said If the silver
men thought so let them pass the bill and
test the matter in the supreme court.
