rangement could be arrived at by means Of
which the supporters Of the government
and the members of the Op-
position might sit on opposite
sides of the House. Mr. Gladstone added

MIR. Gladstone had taken into considera-

and by members on Thursday evening
were to be allowed to pass without pun
ishment being inflicted upon the offenders.

be taken If he moved the appointment of

the matter.

probably answer these questions to-mor-
row.

LIVINGSTON AND SILVER.
He Wants a Declaration in Favor of
Bi-MetaIlism and State Banks.


Bi-MetaIlism and State Banks.
Washington, July 81.-Representative
Livingston of Georgia has plan by
which he hopes to bring the silver quos-
tion before congress promptly. He said
to-day that at the first opportunity he
could get he intended to introduce Joint
resolution defining the policy of the gov
ernment and declaring it to be the inten-
tion of this congress to main
tain the use of gold and silver
as currency on parity with
each other. This, . said Mr. Livingston,
twill be a notice that we are favorable to
a bi-metallic currency, and I nave no
doubt it will be adopted. We can then
go about consideration of the details
more at leisure and effect the relief that
is sought / am one of those who do not
believe that repeal of the Sherman law
viii prove an adequate remedy for the
ills from which we are suffering
The people are in favor of the re
peal of that law, but they will
insist upon something to take its place
Even free coinage will not suffice. The
south will be with the west in the matter
of enforcing free coinage, but will join
hands with the north and east in fixing
the ratio. We want free coinage, and
viii accept an increased ratio, going as
high as twenty to one or more, If neces-
sary.
FAvORs STATE BANKS.
"What we need most is an enlarged
currency and to accomplish this we must
have state banks. My idea is that we
should establish these banks and author
ize them to issue circulating notes upon
approved security, the state acting as
further security to the general govern
ment In this way the people Would have
the double security of the state and gov
ernment. I would then reserve ! per
cent. of all circulation as a fund
from which to meet any losses that
might accrue through bad management
or failure from any cause. If we were to
make this circulation dependent upon
state bonds the price of such security
would be run up just as the government
bonds now are, and they could not be
had. The idea is perfectly feasible, and
would afford the relief we so much
need -
