less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products 10
the needs of physical being, will attest

every Objectionable substance.

camp of the enemy. The president must
rely upon republican votes to carry out
any such suicidal policy He did not
believe, however. that any such course
would be taken by the president by his
own volition or even under the inspira-
ton of indiscreet advisers until clearer
evidence shall be furnished than now
exists.
He deplored hasty action in the for
nation Of definite financial plan and
predicted the failure of the attempt to
impose a gold standard on India. Mean
while the prompt repeal of the Sherman
law was demanded as a measure of
temporary relief. Let us legislate upon
the financial question" said Mr. Hill,
"and then return to our homes. next De-
a permanent system He predicted the
passage of the bill by the senate and
that the republic would weather the
present storm.
Mr.. Hill retired into one of the cloak
rooms. where he was surrounded by
senators and others offering congratu-
lations.
AS soon as order was restored Mr..
Stewart took he floor and addressed
the senate. He declared that the bill
of the finance committee was a bill
practically to demonetize silver. No
man should be deceived that point.
The promise in the bill was an insult
to the intelligence Of the American peo-
pie. The people, he said, had come to
the forks of the road, where they had
either TO use their own money or sub
nit to a system of extortion through the
national banks The Sherman act had
not been executed according to its spirit.
If 1t had been it might have done well;
it certainly would not have done harm.
All that had been done under it had
been the issue of $140,0CO,000 Of legal
tender notes, which had done much TO
sustain the business of the country.
without it the panic would have hap
pened long before.

THE DEBATE ENDS.
Big Guns of the House are Heard on
All Sides of the Silver Question.
BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
. GIN q. Ton

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WASHINGTON, D c., Aug &c.
The last day of the great silver debate
was a day of intense interest in the
house The senate was not in session,
consequently everybody turned toward
the house galleries, which were crowded
before the early hour of converting. The
two orators who most distinguished
themselves and whom there was the
greatest popular desire to hear were eX-
Speaker Reed and Bourke Cochran
Neither was a disappointment, Reed
was assigned for the morning and
throughout the hour he was upon his
feet every word that fell from his lips
was listened to eagerly. His style was
free and unconstrained and his diction
was Addisonian in it's purity and beside
it was, considering the speaker, compar-
atively free from partisanship. 1t was
lacking somewhat in logic, but there was
nothing in 1t to mar the spirit of good
fellowship which has characterized this
debate; the democrats generally were
we'll pleased with it and warmly con-
graduated the speaker
Bourke Cochran paid him the compli-
ment of saying that it was the best
speech he had ever heard. And yet il
was not so great a speech as that which
Mr. Cochran delivered an hour and a
half later. There were those who had
predicted that Mr.. Cochran would find
the silver question a dull topic of dis
cussion and that his speech in this de-
bate would be lacking in many Of the
elements of success that have made him
famous in other fields. But these were
false prophets, for it was a mastery
effort, great in the marshaling of his
toric truths and greater still in the force
and skill with which they were used
He quoted from Locke, Adam Smith
John Stuart Mill and other renowned
teachers of fundamental economic truths
but the illustrations drawn from the en-
inent authorities were so effectively
made that the nearer forgot for the
time that the text books of science had
been summoned to sustain the arguments
advanced. Twice he was interrupted
by Bryan of Nebraska, but his sharp
retorts. while not intended to squarely
answer the questions asked. fairly took
the young Nebraskan off his feet. There
were none others who cared to invite
the attention of his quick wit by putting
questions at the speaker. Bland fol-
lowed Cochran. but with very diminished
attention.

REED BREAKS OUT.
He Makes a Long and Bitterly Parti-
san Address.

He Makes a Long and bitterly Parti-
san Address.
Ex-Speaker Reed took the floor at
1890.
The house came to a sudden condition
of quietude as Mr.. Reed stood up in the
east aisle on the republican side of the
chamber and began to address the house
in strong. slow and measured terms.
In beginning his speech Mr.. Reed con-
fessed doubts as to the ability of the
house to deal satisfactorily with the ques-
ton before it. but expressed his comfort
in being able to fall back upon the well-es-
tablished belief in the wisdom of the
decisions of congress. crisis like the
present. he said, was the inseparable ac-
compartments Of all human progress,
which is a series of upward starts and
falls of almost proportionate length. The
former may be characterized in a word,
Confidence, the latter in another word,
"Distrust." These fluctuations occur
almost simultaneously, always sympa-
thetically, the world over, so closely is
business allied by the telegraph and
railroad. Because of the fact that the
drain of gold from the United States
since the passage Of the Sherman law
in 1890 carried out of the country an
amount equal TO the value of the pur-
chases of the silver under the law people
saw in it the cause Of the loss Of gold,
and distrust was engendered, a season Of
boarding and depression resulted. and
today the country is suffering all the ca
lamities of a restricted circulation in the
midst of an abundant supply of money.
This then, continued Mr. Reed, at the
present moment is the situation in
which we find ourselves. have. in the
house. narrated the outward circum-

OF whom are agreed as to it's wisdom
and feasibility. 1t has had no little eff
feet among those men of free silver ten
denotes. who were not absolutely welded
to that policy, in bringing them to vote
for unconditional repeal. No open de-
claration of the intentions of the admin
istration has been made, because it
turned out to be unnecessary. but the
policy outlined will be presented to
congress in the near future in the shape
of either one bill or more.
In all probability Senator Hill was not
consulted in this matter and is probably
vet in ignorance of it. When he discov-
ers that it is true he will understand
that any change of votes attributable to
the presidents influence was caused by
this pledge of liberal silver legislation,
and not by the power of patronage.

THE NEW RULES.
No Substantial Changes Made I'm the
Code.

This afternoon Representative Catch
ings reported to the house the code of
rules agreed upon by the committee on
rules for governing the proceedings of
the Fifty-third congress. The code will
come up for action in the house on Tues
day. The old rules are readopted with
no important change, except a provi-
sion that 100 shall be a quorum of the
committee Of the whole house and that
the committee may limit debate without
going back into the house.
The rules providing that there shall
be no filibustering against a report Of
the committee on rules, and that the
committee rules may bring in an
order fixing the time for a vote on any
proposition, are retained. The latter
provision was not put in force in the
last congress, for the reason that it was
adopted with the understanding that ii
would never be applied except when
asked for by a majority IF the Demo-
