The Indianapolis journal., 1893-11-02


more than 1 do or less than / do, Qaugh-
ter) 1t is very serious and important
experiment in the history or the county
which had TO be tried in obedience to the
wish of the people. L hope ii may turn out
advantageously to the people in every way.
Congress has at last, after a long time,
done its duty, but il has robbed the meas
ure of very great deal OF the advantage
that 1t would have had. For my part
shall not be surprised to see great indus
trial misfortuneS happen to this country.
In my judgment it will be found that un-
derneath this situation is the general dlf-
ficulty that this country does not know and
never will know until action takes place
what are the purposes and intentions OF
the parties In power. The parties them-
selves do not know. In consequence the
country is prostrated under uncertainty:
the country is subject 10 change. That
change is imminent and threatening. 1t
will be found that this underlies our pres
ent condition; that il is the main cause or
the misfortunes which have happened and
which will happen TO us in the coming win
might prove of party advantage, l sincerely
hope that they may not prove as great as
those who are wiser than l anticipate
Mr.. Tracey, who followed, expressed his
gratitude to the gentlemen who had in
trusted him with certain amount OF labor
during the discussion of the bill. He re-
garded the vote which was about to be
taken the eliminating event in a long
struggle for sound money, and the Ameri-
can people had finally and in decided terms
expressed their belief that nothing but an
absolutely sound currency should be issued
by the United States government Our
friends on the side opposed to this BILL" said
Mr.. Tracey, have claimed that we have
been following the directions given US by
one of the Senators from Ohio (Mr. Sher-
man) l will not take issue with them as
to what that gentlemans opinon may be,
but, Mr.. Speaker, as far as L and those on
the Democratic side who have acted with
me are concerned, we know that We have
been following the lead of man whom the
people of this country elected by the largest
Grover Cleveland" (Applause)
In. the midst of the applause the sharp,
shrill voice of Mr.. Wilson, of Washington,
yelled: Cuckoo, cuckoo" and the House,
amid a perfect pandemonium OF mingled
laughtor and applause, was brought TO It's
senses by the strong voice OF the Speaker.
Mr.. Wilson's ejaculation was an echo of
Mr.. MOrgan's remark in the Senate the
other day that when the clock at the White
House struck cuckoos in the chamber STUCK
their heads out of their boxes.
Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia, closed the
debate. Which side was eight the future
alone could determine Il now, ne con-
Guided, demand q vote upon the bill.
Mr. Bland's motion to recommit the bill
with instructions TO report back free
coinage amendment took precedence and it
was first voted upon. The motion was
lost-109 to 175.
was announced, Mr.. Bryan asked unani-
nous consent to be allowed to make
statement in explanation OF the conduct
of the silver men. This was granted.
when the previous question was demand
ed'' he began, some of us believed that
those who favored this bill should take all
the responsibility for its passage. We felt
justified in exercising every right given us
by parliamentary law. We desired to COM
pei the friends Of this bill to every in
strument to force q vote, in order that no
one could ever say that we had acquiesced
in what was about to be done. was on
my feet, l thought, in time to make a dill
atory motion when the Speaker put the
motion on the demand for the previous
question. But have no criticism TO make;
L for
nays. and we could not longer cseiay
action in this body. L hope" said he, in
conclusion, that the results of this meas
ure will be better than we believe they
will be. But if we are right and you are
wrong, / wan you that q day OF reckon
ing will come. And here register the pre-
diction that the American people viii never
agree to the action you have taken" a
roar Of applause followed Mr. Bryan's
speech.
The vote was then taken on the motion
to concur in the Senate amendments. The
motion carried by vote of 193 to ST. as
