Morrill, Speaks on "SOund
Money Cheats Nobody'

Appointed by Governors Will
be Voted Upon Today.


BY Associated Press to the News.
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Aug. 2l.-
Although the finance committees
bill for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act will not
be formally taken up in the senate
today, the general subject will be
discussed by Senator Morrill, of
Vermont, who brings to its study a
mind that has penetrated all the
mysteries of finance, and that has
been ripened by an experience i'll
the house and in the senate outiast-
irg generation of mankind. He
has che sen for the text of his speech
the sentence, "Sound Money Cheats
Nobody" and it is understood that
he will avow himself friend of
bimetalllsm, wa lie gladly voting
for the repeal of the Sherman act.
Inasmuch as the vote is to be Ia
ken this evening on the admission
Of senators appointed by the gov
ernors of 8 ates aft e legisla-
lures have failed ~ elcc 1t is not
probable that much, J. ~ progress
will be made on the blll to allow
national banks to increase their
circulation.
An impression is growing
about the capital that the present
extraordinary session of congress
may come to an end about the
middle of September. This appears
to be based upon confidence in the
possibilities of compromise being
entered into within that period upon
the financial question.
Nearly all important legislation
accomplished in recent years ha-
been the result of compromises and
the on come of conference com.
mittees.
These persons who ho'd to the
opinion that adjournment is posi-
BILE next month, say that Mr.. Vests
proposition to provide for free coin
age at the ratio of twenty to one
will he passed by the senate, and
ultimately will become a part of the
bill for unconditional repeal, which
it is expected will be passed by the
house.
The Likelihood of veto by Pres
ident Cleveland, of such a measure,
has been discounted by believers in
the reported early adjournment.
They argue that it would be i'm
possible to rally two.thlrds vote 10
either house to pass it over HIS veto,
and that nothing could be accom-
plished, 20 far as the financial situa
tion is concerned, by congress re-
naming in session after such veto
was received. More experienced
watchers of political events place
no confidence in these early adj
ournment theories.
Speaker Crisp has announced the
appointment OF the chairmen of va
rious committees Among them are
the following: Elections, OFFER
