declared that the republicans had been
responsible for the present condition Of
affairs, and this declaration would be the
organ of political discussion-if political
discussion there should be. Very little
OF the present trouble, he said, could be
traced to the Sherman act.
THE sCAPEGoAT IN LEvITIoUs.
Referring to the sixteenth chapter of
Leviticus, he called atten-
tion to the selection of soapegoat,
and said that the demoratic
party could not select the Mckinley act
as a scapegoat, and so 1t had devoted the
lamb to the Lord and sent the silver bill
into the wilderness. Laughter
GNAwING ON A CHESTNUT.
The difficulty in which the country
now found itself was attributable to the
fact that the people feared the tinkering
with the protection tariff by the Dem
ocratic party. He warned the democrats
that they must come together on the
question.
SUGGESTION FULL OF MoDEsTY.
The republicans could be relied upon to
do their duty. This was their country,
and they could not afford to put it in a
hole Applause.
Hall, dem, spoke in favor of greater
volume of currency and of the free coin
age of silver. The present financial con-
d1tion put the people of the United States
absolutely at the mercy of men dealing in
large financial transactions in the United
States or in any other nation with which
they held commercial relations.
CANNOT SUPPORT THE WILSON BILL.
Mr.. Snodgrass, dem, Tenn, could not
vote for the Wilson bill. 1t did not con-
tain one sentence of the Sherman act and
did not carry out the intention of
the Chicago platform That platform
pledged the Democratic party not only
TO repeal the entire infamous act, but to
coin gold and silver at parity. The cry
of the people was for more money, and
the best way to secure that end was to
provide for the free coinage Of silver.
DEBTOR AND CREDITOR GLASSES AT WAR.
The present fight was between the
debtor and creditor classes. The former
were numbered by the millions the latter
by the thousands The shylock was de-
manding the pound of flesh, while the
people were asking congress for relief :;
and the meu who refused to grant the re-
lief would be branded as traitors to the
people.
The House then, at o'clock, adjourned
until tomorrow.

DECIDED REDUCTION IN RECEIPTS.

So far this month its receipts are SO,
600, 900 less than last month, and during
the past three days the falling off has
been very heavy. Business men are
taking out of bonded warehouses as few
goods as possible, while importers have
not only curtailed their imports, but were
taking advantage of all the delay possible
in paying customs duties.
FALLING OFF FOR THE MONTH.
At the present rate the treasury receipts
will not be over S27, 600, 900 for the MONTH
instead of S35, 100000.

fermented liquors are liable to the spe-
cial tax of Is per cent. in addition to the

In the House.

The debate in the House to-day was not
especially important 1t merely gave an
opportunity for four members to give
expression to their views.
FIRST REPUBLICAN REPAEAL SPEECH.
The most interesting speech, because
it was really the first republican. protest
against free coinage, was delivered by Mr..
Grosyenor, of Ohio, and which was lack
ing neither in sarcasm nor satire. Mr..
Snodgrass, democrat from Tenn, made
a bitter assault upon his colleague, Mr.
Patterson, on account of the position
taken by that gentleman against free
coinage.

MISREPRESENTATION CONTEST.

After prayer and the reading and APP
proval of the Journal (before a small at
tendance of memhers), Mr.. Burrows Of
fered resolution giving Charles e. Bel
nap the right TO contest the seat of George
K f Richardson from the fifth district of
Michigan Richardson (the sitting men,
ber) asked that the resolution be laid over
until tomorrow, and it was so ordered.
SILVER DEBATE TAKEN UP ON TIME.
The silver debate was then resumed,
Mr.. Hutchi son Tex concluding his re-
marks, begun yesterday in favor of the
free coinage of silver. He attributed the
of Wall street. The contro-
versy was not gold versus silver,
but it was money against credit.
Dollars could not be obtained for indus
trial enterprises because the dollars were
piled up in Wall street.
BOTH NATIONAL PLATFORMS QUOTED.
Mr. Blanchard. in speaking in favor of
free coinage and the silver legislation of
the country, quoted from both the demo-
cratic and republican platforms, and ex-
pressed his opinion that, if the republican
platform meant anything, not twenty re-
publicans would vote for the Wilson bill
The Chicago platform had declared for
the repeal of the Sherman law, and then
had declared for bi-metallism. That por-
tion of the platform ought to be carried
out in a single bill and on bi-metallic
standard.
NO METHOD TO REPLACE SILVER.
If the friends of silver yielded to this
demand of the gold people, they
yielded to that which nothing but revolu-
tion could regain. The purpose of the
gold people achieved, the mints
would be stopped by the coinage Of silver,
and no method was proposed to replace
silver with other currency.
THIS COUNTRY CAN AFFORD TO LEAD.
The United States had reached point
in wealth, prosperity and industry that
it could offord to lead and not to follow.
LApplause). This country had declared
its political liberty in the days Of 1776;
could it not now proclaim
it's financial liberty "He who
would be free himself must strike the
blow" [Applause.l
MR.. GROsvENoR AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Mr. Grosvenor, rep, Of Ohio, said that
il was 10 be regretted that the President
in his message to congress had not been
so void of partisanship as he had asked
the House to be. II was unfortunate that
the executive of the country, looking for
ward to the condition which pOrtended
violent opposition to his views, had seen
fit to first appeal TO partisanship and to
uniustly proclaim to the people that the
present condition of the country grew out
Of the legislation of the Republican party.
THE MESSAGE ARRAIGNED THE REPUBLICANS
If the pending debate should develop
into partisan discussion, its instigatlOn
would be found in the declarations Of the
