IN WORDS THAT BURNED
The Closing Of the Indian hints De-
nOunCsd in The Commons.
FLAGRANT ACT OF PLUMBER
Asked n the Government Had Any
Understanding With the Un.tsd
States Harcourt Does
Not Answer.

LONDON. Aug. s.-Gladstonc announced
in the house Of commons to-day that the
government intends TO hold an autumn
session. The announcement was received
with loud cheering by the supporters or
the government. The premier added that
no adjournment would be had until tho
remaining stages OF the home rule bill
have been passed and the supply was
voted.
Henry Chaplain asked leave to move an
adjournment of tho house in order that
the changes in the Indian currency system
might be discussed. lie blamed the gov
ernment for persistently obstructing dis
cussion OF this question. He charged the
government with virtually mnlcting the
natives Of India by tamper.ng with the
currency. The closing of the Indian mints
to free coinage of silver had necessarily
led 20 such a fall in the value OF that
metal within a month as the world
had never before known. There had
been tremendous wrong done
TO the people of India, who
held enormous quantities of un-
coined metal. BY single stroke the gov
crnment had deprecated by Is per cent.
the value of the silver held by the popula-
tion of India. A more fsgrant act Of pub
lie plunder had never been perpetrated by
n civilized government. IL the repeal by
the American.congress of the Sherman act
should become inevitable. IL would be
partly due To the error that had been COM
mitted in India. A further fall in the price
Of silver must follow the repeal of the
sherman act.
Frequently during his remarks Chaplin
was interrupted by cries OF Hear"
"Hcar.' Chaplin demanded to know
whether tho government, before taking
action in India. had had any communica-
ton with the United States government.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. chancellor
of cxcl,cquer. declined To enter q general
argument. The course taken by the gov
erntneni. he said. was indicated by the
royal commission of 1sss. which pointed
out the dangerous aud mischievous effect
which bimetallism would have upon India.
The government stood by those views.
Arthur J. Balfour, conservative leader.
said il was something approaching iunacy
for the chancellor to got up and tell the
country that he regarded with absolute in
difference what happened to silver. Da-
dabhai Naoroki, the Parsee member, who
sits as liberal for Central Fiusbury. pro-
tested that the natives Of India already
felt the pinch of the change and that they
would soon awake through suffering to
the wrong done them. Sir William Har-
court moved closure Of the debate. The
motion was carried without division.

HOW STRUCK THEM.
Opinions OF the Leading Statesmen ON the
Opinions Of Cleveland.


Opinions of Cleveland.
wAsHINGToN. Aug. s.--Thc message of
the president was received by congress
with degree of attention that has seldom
been accorded to the state paper. A
notable fact was the general absence OF
adverse criticism from n party point of
view and among those who have reserved
an expression of their judgment, the
democrats being quite as numerous as
republicans. For instance Voorhees,. chair
man of the finance committee. declined
positively to be intcrvied on the message
and Hill did the same.
Gorman said: "Thc message is q clear.
cut statement of the presidents views.
All comment that | have heard In the
senate N that it is as tcrse aud clear a
n statement as could have been madc.''
Senator Allison. one of the leading
financial lights of tho country. was very
conservative. He Remarked: 1T j. a YER,
fair message. He states very truly that
the Sherman act was a compromise be-
tween the free silver men and those of
opposite views" Senator Allison thought
the tariff references Of the president cal.
culated TO disturb business further at n
very critical time.
Senator Jones of Nevada said ~ think
the message illogical and does not anaiyzc
the situation at all. The Sherman law
has nothing to do with the present siua
tion OF affairs. The message was what
was expected and will do little 10 help the
cause which the president champions"
Senator Teller said: "Thc simple as
sertlon of the president that the present
financial condition is due TO the Shermar
law does not make it SO. His premise,
are wrong aud his conclusions natural,
fall to the ground"
Senator PETER said: "The banker vii
regard il as perfection. The farmer AMI
workman will sec i'm IL further reduction
OF the products Of their farm and their la
hor. 1t is the first attack of the none,
kings in the final struggle for supremacy
Bourke Cochran said: "It is admirable
admirable. Even the silver men must ad
init that IL is the most perfect presenta
tion of the question that could he made.
Bland said: AS nearly as ! coult
make IL out, It was a plea for n single

it. If England would coin silver. prob
ably this country would do so. We seen

in the treasury increased more than one
hundred and forty ty-sevcn millions OF
dollars.
Unless the government bonds are to he
constantly issued and sold TO rcplcnish our
exhausted gold, only TO be again cx-
hausted, 1t is apparent that the operation
OF tho silver purchase law now in force
leads in the direction of the entire sub
stitution OF silver for gold in the govern
ment treasury aud that this must be fol.
lowed by the payment Of all government
obligations In the depreciated silver. AT
this stage gold and silver must part COM
pany and tho government must fail In its
established policy 10 maintain the two
metals on q parity with each other.
Given over To the exclusive use of n cur
rcncy greatly deprecated according 10 tho
standard of the commercial world, we
could no longer claim place among the
nations of the ilrst-class; nor could our
government claim a performance OF It's
obligations. III as many of Its friends
claim silver ought to occupy larger place
in our currency and the currency of tho
world through q general International CO.
operation and agreement. Il is obvious
that the United States will not he in po-
si,ion to gain hearing in favor OF such
arrangements 10 long as We are willing TO
continue our attempt to accomplish the
result single handed.
The knowledge i'm business circles
among our own people that our govern
ment canno, make its Hat equivalent IN
insirinsic value and not Keep inferior
money on n parity with superior money
10y its own independent Efforts has re-
suited In such lack OF confidence at home
m the stability Of currency values that
capital refuses its aid to new enterprises,
while millions are actually Withdrawn
from the channels Of trade aud commerce
to become idle and unproductiye In the
hands OF iimid owners.
Foreign investors are equally alert and
not only decline to purchase American
securities, but make haste to sacrifice
those which they already have. IL does
not meet the situation to say that appre-
hcnsion in regard To the iuiure ot our
finances Is nroundiess and that there Is
no reason for lack OF confidence IN tho
purposes or power OF the government IN
I the premises. The very existence OF this
apprehension and lack of confidence. how
ever caused. is a menace which ought not
for moment to be dlsregardcd.
| Possibly IL the undertaking we have in
hand were the maintenance OF q specific
known quantity of silver AT n parity with
gold, our ability To do so might he csti'
mated and guaged. and perhaps. In view
of our unparalleled growth and resources,
| IL might he fayorably passed upon.
But when our avowed endeavor is To
maintain such parity in regard To the
