the thanks OF the United States was by
sort OF circular. 1t seemed to him
that the President OF the United States
should express courteous and cordial
acknowledgment TO the government by
name.
Mr.. Cullom (Rop. IIIs.l agreed with
Mr. Hoar.
Mr.. Sherman thought the resolution
came from the secretary OF state and
that it contained in precise form what
was desired.
The resolution was laid aside until
1925 when it was again taken up.
Mr.. Hoar offered au amendment as
follows:
THAT the President of the United
States be requested to communicate to
each foreign government that has parti-
cipated in said exposition the acluowl-
edgement OF congress for its contribu.
ton"
The amendment was agreed to and
the joint resolution passed as amended.
Mr.. PUGH SPEAKS.
The consideration OF the bill to re-.
peal the purchasing clause OF the sher.
man was taken up and Mr.. Stewart,
who was entitled the floor, yielded to
Mr.. Pugh dem. Ala. who proceeded
to address tho senate against the bill.
Referring to the recent compromise,
Mr.. Pugh said that the Democrat sena-
tors had united in the spirit OF compro-
mise and concession and selected an
equal number Of senators from those
friendly to unconditional repeal and
those opposed to it, and with the full
knowledge OF President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle that such effort was
being made to bring Democratic sena-
tors together upon some common
ground that could be entered into law.
They accomplished that laudable un-
dertaking so far as to agree upon COM
promise that secured the signatures OF
every Democratic senator but six. The
fact was not considered doubtful that
forty three Democratic senators would
have sanctioned the compromise had
not President Cleveland interposed OBJ
lection and demanded unconditional re-
peal at all hazards.
Mr.. Pugh was not satisfied that all
efforts at compromise had failed solely
OH account OF President Cleveland and
his secretary OF the treasury. He was
satisfied that he could not get sutfi-
cient number OF senators to join him in
tilibustering practices, and he was
forced to record his vote against this
diabolical measure and appeal to the
people to organize their forces for the
great battle OF the future. Mr.. Pugh
said he was willing, ii he had sufficient
support, to resort to any anu all means
to defeat the pending bill. He was
proud to be called Elibuster in de-
feating a conspiracy, equal in the ruin
Gus consequence OF its success to war,
pestilence and famine. He would rather
be called filibuster by the conspirators
and lickspittles Of the gold kings than
to be called traitor or faithless repre-
sentative by the state and people who
honored him with their trust and con-
tidence. AS for himself he would do his
duty as n senator as he understood it
and leave the consequences to God and
his country.
Nh. Stewart then resumed his speech.
He spoke Of the gold combination hav-
Ing agents in the capitol to dictate legIs-
lation and as having elected a President
determined to carry out their policy.
The President was now in the saddle
and Congress was helpless. The time
might come when the naughty tyrants
would meet a rebuke from the people.
He said he presumed it was apparent
that the speeches now being made by
those who believed in the continuance
OF the purchase OF silver under the Sher-
man law, until the free coinage Of silver
could be brought about were not be-
ing made with the hope Of convincing
any senators OF different opinion.
He laid at the door OF detective
monetary system the responsibility for
the great mass OF unemployed, and said
the highest goal Of civilization in ma
ton would not be reached until every
man was kept busy.
MIR. JONES CONCLUSION.
Mr. Jones said: "The Roman repub.
lie, Mr.. President, did not lose its
liberties until the senate had degener-
ated into mere instrument for record
ing the will OF the chief magistrate.
MacCauley has commented upon the
ease with which all Democratic forms
and the names and titles appertaining
to republican form OF government, were
preserved in that commonwealth con-
currently with the absorption Of all the
powers OF the state, executive, legislS-
tive and judicial, in the hands Of one
man. But that was a long time ago.
Times change and men change with
them. This is very different republic
from that OF Rome, and although his
tory, we are told, sometimes repeats
itself, l, for one, will not believe that
the senate OF the United States is ever
to become a subservient senate. Ii,
however, there is u majority in this
senate in favor OF repeal, let mo nd.
monish those senators to pause and re-
fleet that there is no exiseney whatever
demanding its passage; that no condi-
tion requires it and that it is excellent
to have giants strength, but tits tyr
aunous to use it like a giant" Jap
plausc in the galleries.
The senate then went into executive
session, and at 5:l5 D. m. took u recess
until II o'clock tomorrow morning.
