PROSPERITY MAKERS
Adjourn Their Play Houses to Await the
Effect Of Their Work,

6teot OF Their Work.
WASHINGTON, November g. Both
houses Of congress adjourned last Friday
at 8 o'clock p. M, after being in session
elghty-seVen Gays.
A wrangle between the house and
senate over an appropriation to pay the
senate employees for work done during
the recess of the Fifty-first congress in
1890, caused the failure Of the general
deficiency bill and the bill for the pay
ment Of the clerks and employees during
the adjournment between yesterday and
the regular session December 4. The
senate was determined this sppropri-
alton should be agreed to by the house
with the alternative Of sacrificing the
deficiency bill, and Senator Cockrell,
chairman Of the appropriations commit
tee, sent word that not dollar OF de-
fioiency would be agreed to by the senate
until the house accepted this amend
ment which had been tackled on the de
fcien y bill. The senate adjournment
resolution had been passed, and in this
way the senate expected to force the
house to yield.
To make assurance doubly sure the
senate also placed the same amendment
on the bill providing pay for session en-
ploYes and clerks to members during the
recess and sent word that if their amend
mend was agreed to the deficiency bill
would be released from conference
whore it was being held as if in chan
Gerry by the senate. Inasmuch as every
member Of the house was personally in
terested in the resolution to keep his
clerk on the pay roll during recess, they
thought they held the whip hand, but
the plan was defeated by a filibuster
insugursted by Mr.. Hutchinson, of
Texas. He was opposed to the original
resolution to pay the employees Of con-
gress during the recess, but was easily
outgenerslled by the psrlismentsrisns
who opposed him.
When the resolution came back to the
house, however, with the senate amend
ment on as rider, it was about 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Hutchinson saw if he could hold the
house at bay for the space Of few min
utes, the adjournment would give him
victory. The senate was Immediately
notified of the situation in the house and
q resolution was hurriedly passed ex-
tending the time of adjournment to 4:3O
but the effort came too late. Mr.. Hutch
insoD, with Kilgore on his left and Boen,
the Minnesota Populist, on his right,
held his position until o'clock, When
the house, by It's own previous motion,
was declared by Speaker Crisp adjourned
sine die.
Just before adjournment q joint COM
mittee from the two houses called on
Mr.. Cleveland to inform him that con-
gress was ready to adjourn OK rsceiv0
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-08

the volume of this metal caused by
boarding has caused il 10 appreciate 40
or 80 per cent. The address continues:
"The repeal Of the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman bill destroys silver as
money Of ultimate retention and re-
duces that metal to credit money to flow
only by redemption in gold. The 81, ,1OO,-
100000 in paper and silver now in circu-
lation must rest upon leSS than 100000
600 OF gold in the Treasury as available
Tor redemption. The only reason for de-
monetising silver was to enhance the
value OF gold and obligations payable in
money. 1t is furthur proposed: to sell
bonds of the United States to buy gold
to strengthen the reserves in the Treas
ury. National banks will use the bonds
for banking and issue their notes, upon
which the people must pay interest As
well as on the bonds"
After reviewing the silver legislation
since 1873, it is asserted that the secre-
tary surrendered the option to pay in sill.
YER to the exporters Of gold without con-
sideration and then proclaimed that the
Sherman act was driving gold out of the
country. The address criticizes the dem
ocrRtic party and asserts "the Sherman
act interfersd with the establishment Of
gold standard and that the New York
and London bankers and the present ad-
ministration in the United States and
the Gladstone government in England
conspired to defeat repeal. The Presi-
dent issued a call for an extra session Of
congress is which he attributed the
panic, which he himself had aided to
create, to the Sherman act"
Referring to the contest over the re-
peal bill in the senate, the address says:
"It continued until the gold power and
federal patronage could induce a ma
jority Of that body to submit to execu-
tive dictation. The gold press in every
commercial center tsemed with miarep-
resentstion, insult and abuse Of the un.
purchasable defenders Of the people.
Banks, boards Of trade and the commercial
press demanded a vote without debate.
The power of money was felt on every
hand. Intimidation and threats OF PER-
sonal violence loaded the mails of sena-
tors. Unusual and cruel hours we're
resorted to to exhaust the advocates Of
silver and deprive them Of an Opportun-
ity of spreading upon the records their
reasons why the people should not be
robbed for the benefit Of the money
changers"
The document ends wit an appeal to
the people to study the question, and
with this: "Trust no man who once be-
traysd you; put no faith in any president
who assumed dictstorisl power; do not
be overswed or intimidated by Wall
street and the power Of the national
banks. When the people rise in their
might. intrigue, cunning, usuEpation,

any further message he might have to
offer. The president replied: Congress
has completed the work for which I
convened it and l have nothing further
to say to congress-" That settled it
The committee reported and in short
time most Of the congressman were on
their way home like good little boys.
The Voorhees, repeal bill went to the
house on Tuesday, October 81, and on
the objection Of Mr.. Bland went over
till next day. The struggle was very
short. Only twenty-sevsn men could be
rallied for the last stand by the silver
leaders, Messrs. Bland and Bryan. Mr..
Bland and his colleagues, knowing fur
ther opposition was futile, preferred to
sacrifice the opportunity for few hours
debate offered by MIR. Wilson in order to
force the majority to bring in the cloture
and concur in the senate amendments by
duress.
Speaker Crisp overwhelmed the fill
busterers by putting q motion to order
the previous question. It was carried
with roar. The tilibusterers had been
caught mapping, and nothing remained
for them but to submit.
For thirty minutes under the rule fol-
lowed the rattle Of orstory amid the
greatest confusion and excitement. At
it's conclusion the vote was taken on Mr..
BANDS free coinage substitute. The
majority against it was 73. Then came
the final vote in cOncurring in the senate
amendments. The vote stood 1913 for
concurrence and and "a against.
When the original bill passed the house
August %, the vote stood 2O1 to 100, 80
that, although the vote was smaller, the
proportion was practically the same.
The final vote was taken OF 2:30. The
bill was engrossed at once, and at $40
the formal announcement was made to
the senate that it's amendments had been
agreed to by the house. The bill was
hurriedly enrolled by Chairman Pearson,
Of the committee on enrolled bills, and at
$3.50 it was given to Speaker Crisp for his
name. A fleet-footed messenger carried
it to the senate, where it was signed two
minutes later by Vice President Steven
son. Chairman Pearson, with the bill
under his arm, entered q carriage and
drove rapidly to the White house.
The president had been kept duly sd-
vised Of the progress Of events. Indeed,
he manifested 30 much interest in the
vote Of the house that at his request a
duplicate Of the names Of those who had
voted for and against the concurrence
was made soon after the roll call was
over, and this list was lying on his desk
when Mr.. Pearson arrived with the bill.
Secretary Carlisle, Attorney General
Olney and Private Secretary Thurber
were present. After felicitating with
each other for q few minutes over the
victory, the president took up the bill
and read il aloud. Then picking up q
