SiNty-EiEhth Day
SExArx.-A resolution was adopted request
ing the President to send a note OF thanks TO
each OF the governments represented BY er-
hibits at the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Pugh said he was satisfied that nine
tenths OF the unconditional repealers did not
desire the free coinage of silver by an inter
national agreement. nor did he believe Pre.i-
dent Cleveland desired 1t or would make any
earnest effort TO secure IL. He had never said
he expected or desired any international
agreement Mr.. Pugh had no doubt larger
majority of the people OF the country were
against the unconditional repeal of the sher-
man act than there ever was against the
force bill.
referring to the recent compromise, Mr..
Pugh said the Democratic senators had united
In the spirit OF compromise and concessions
and selected au equal number OF senators
from those friendly to unconditional repeal
and those opposed 10 It, and with the knoSl-
edge of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle that such efforts were being made TO
bring Democratic senators together upoa
some common ground that could be enacted
Into law. They accomplished that iAudAbie
undertaking, 50 far as TO agree upon com
promise that secured the signatures Of every
Democratic senator bat six The fact WAs
not considered doubtful that foTty three
Democratic senators would have sanctioned
the compromise hSd not President Cleveland
interposed objections aud demanded uncoudi-
tlonal repeal al all hazards.
Mr. Pugh was nov satisfied that all efforts
at compromise had failed solely on account OF
President Cleveland and his secretary oi the
treasury. He was satisfied that he could not
get sufficient number Of senator's TO Join
him In niIbusterln- practices and he vas
forced to record his vote against this diaboli-
cal measure and appeal TO tbs people TO or
ganlze their forces for the great hsiile OF the
future.
Mr.. Stewart then resumed his speech
When he had talked for an hour or 20 hc
yielded TO Mr.. Jones, saying he would nnish
at another time.
Mr. Jonc. discussed 81 icngth the relations
of the workip-msn TO the money system Tie
said be presumed Il was apparent The speeches
now being made by those who believed IN the
Continuance Of the purchase OF silver anaeE
the Sherman law until the free coiaage OF
silver could be brought about were not made
with the hope OF convincing any senators of 4
different opinion. He laid at the door Of =
defective money system responsibility tof The
great mass OF unemployed, aud said the hlga-
esi goal of civilization In n nation would tot
be reached untn every man vas kept busy.
He desired 10 say ieE word. In behalf of
silver miners Of the United STATES They
were a brave and hardy people; tried By
every gauge Of manhood and patriotism, they
responded To all tests.
In conclusion Mr. Jones sAid: The Ro-
man republic. Mr. President, did not losc ~
liberties until the Senate had degenerated in-
To a mere Instrument for recording the Wtll
OF the chief magistrate. MaeAuley has eosa-
meuted upon the case with Wh!ch all demo
cratic forms and the names and titles appcr-
tainln, TO a republican fosm OF Euycruucni
were preserved In that commonwealth coa-
currently with the absorption Of all the pos
crs OF the state, executive, legislative and iu-
diciai, In the hands Of one man Bat that
was long time ago. Times change and sncu
change with them.
This Is very different republic from thst
OF Rome, and although hisioFy. vc arc told,
sometimes repeats ltself ior ouc vii no;
believe the United States Il ever 10 follow
that Of Rome Hoserer, there Is 4 msioTliy
IN this Senate In favo- Of repeal Let nc Adj
monish those scnaiors 10 pause and reject
there Is no exige-cy whatever dcmzndlng T.
passage; that no condition requires II, zh1
that IL s excellent TO have giants strength,
but Il Is tyranny TO use Il like giant" lAY-
plause.
The Senate thea went into executive ses-
sion and al 5:i5 p. N. took recess until IL
