The morning call., 1893-10-26

peal of part of the act Of February %,
1878, by the passage of the act Of July IA.
1889, affected the free coinage OF silver at
ratio of 16 10 /. or whether that law was
still in force. Referred to the Committee
on judiciary.
Sherman reported the House joint reso-
luton thanking the nations of the world
for cooperation in the Worlds Fair, ana
asking immediate consideration. Hoar
thought the method proposed not suitable.
The President of the United States should
make express and courteous acknoWledg-
ment to each Government by name. Gull
lom agreed with Hoar. Sherman thought
the resolution came from the Secretary OF
State and was in the form desired. Hoar
offered an amendment in accordance with
his idea. The amendment was agreed to,
and the resolution as amended was passed.
The repeal bill was then taken up and
Pugh spoke against it. Referring to the
recent compromise, Pugh said the Demo-
cratic Senators had united in spirit OF
compromise and concession and Sc
lected an equal number of Sena-
tors from those friendly to uncon-
diti0nal repeal ard those opposed to IT,
and with the full knowledge Of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle that such
an effort was being made to bring the
Democratic Senators together upon some
common ground that could be enacted into
law. They had accomplished that land
able undertaking so far as to agree upon
a compromise that secured the signature
Of all of the Democr attic Senators but six.
The fact was not considered doubtful that
forty-three Democratic Senators would
have sanctioned compromise had not the
President interposed an objection and de-
manded unconditional repeal at all haz-
ards. Pugh was now satisfied that all effort
at compromise failed solely on account of
Cleveland and his Secretary of the Treas
ury. He was satisfied he could not get
sufficient number of Senators to join him
in filibustering practices. and he was
forced to record his vote against this dis
boical measure and appeal to the people
to organize their forces for the great battle
OF the future. Pugh said he was willing,
if he had sufficient support, to resort to any
and all means to defeat the pending bill.
He was proud to be called a filibuster in
defeating conspiracy equal in rulnous
consequences in its success to war, pestl-
lenee and famine. He would rather be
called a filibuster by the conspirators
and the lickspittles of gold kings than be
called traitor or faithless representative
by the State and people who honored him
with their trust and confidence. AS for
himself, he would do his duty as Senator
as he understood it, and leave the conse-
uuences to God and his country.
Stewart then resumed his speech. He
spoke of the gold combination as having
agents in the Capitol to dictate legislation
and as having elected President deter
mined to carry out its policy. The Presi-
dent was now in the saddle and Congress
was helpless. The time might come when
the naughty tyrants would meet rebuke
from the people.
Stewart yielded to Jones. who described
the relations Of the workingman to the
money system. BE laid at the door of
defective monetary system the RESPONSE
bility for the existence of the great mass
of unemployed. and said that the highest
goal of civilization in the nation would
not be reached until every man was kept
busy.
In conclusion Jones said: 1.-THE Roman
republic, Mr.. President, did not lose its
liberties until the Senate had degenerated
into mere instrument for recording the
will of the chief magistrate This is
very different republic from that of Rome,
and although history, we are told. some
times repeats itself. /, for one, will not
believe that the Senate of the United States
will ever become subservient Senate. If.
however. there is majority in this Senate
in favor of the repeal bill, let me admonish
those Senators to pause and reflect There
is no eXigency whatever demanding its
passage, no condition that requires ii. 1t
is excellent to have giants strength. but
it is tyrannical to use it like a giant"
The Senate then went into executive
session, and at 5:15 P. NJ. took recess
until ii o'clock tomorrow morning.
