gress. and [ will do so every time the

He (Mr. Pence trusted that the teach
er would not rebuke the scholar when
he ventured to tell him that the oues-
rion had now come up. Applause and
laughter. There was portrait of the
gentleman from Indiana published in
the paper, but as he Pence was little
man.and the volume was large one, he
could not hold it up for the inspection
of the house. Laughter But he
would ask unanimous consent to have it
reproduced in the Congressional Record.
In this picture was represented silver
dollar, and it was supported-how? By
the manly feet and legs of the gentle
man from Indiana. Whose arms were
those that helped to support it? The
arms of the gentleman from Indiana.
Laughter. Whose face was this?
Whose eyes were those? The face an
eyes of the gentleman from Indiana.
And beneath the picture was the in
scription, II have always voted for free
coinage, and always will" Laughter
and applause. The gentleman from
Indiana had taught him Pence his les
sons, and he declined 10 retreat from
their teachings. [Applause.] But he
began to understand how and why it
was that Il Democratic president elected
upon silver platform absolutely, and
withnut fear I'll contradiction, COM
manded a majority to surrender. The
president well understood the fayorS he
had to disperse, and the means at his
command. The president did not hest

the winds: he would turn down the
platform. Brave was he az was the
sluggard who was told 10 go to the ant.
The siuggard replied: THAT would be

sit down by my pie and let the ant
come to me-" Applause and
laughter Pence then paid his

cised him for the position he had taken.
He could not but be reminded since
voorhees, has taken the same stand as
Sherman) of an article written by the
senator. aud published in the North
American Review, denouncing Sherman
as the financial weathercock OF the
nation. Laughter and applause. And
then there was no wonder that the ordi-
nary people could find no distinction be-
tween the present secretary Of the
treasury, Mr.. Carlisle. and the eX-secrC-
tary of the treasury, Mr.. Sherman. The
story of the temptation of Mr.. Carlisle
would be one of the Saddest in the his
tory Of the country. In this connection
he quoted an aneedote about stranger
in small town. He wanted to go to
church. He came 10 white churcn Oh
which was the inscription Lutheran
church." He came to a brown church,on
which was Inscribed church"
He returned to his tavern and asked the
proprietor how it was that In such
small town there were two Lutheran
churches. The landlord remarked that
they looked alike but were not alike.
''In the white church." said he, they
believe that the serpent tempted Eve
and that Eve tempted Adam. Over in
the brown church they believe that
Adam was bad egg from the start"
Laughter and applause
Mr.. Bynum made short reply. and
the house took recess.
The first speaker after the recess was
MIR. Swanson Dem.) Virginia. who. as
a new member, stated the hesitation
which he felt at addressing the national
house of representatives. He was i'll
favor of carrying out the Chicago plat
form. He protested against giving to
EnglanG-the great creditor nation of
the world-the power TO control the
finances of the United states, and that
was what would follow from the estab-
lshment of single gold standard. The
financial domination of Great Britain
would be more disastrous than her po-
litical domination before the Revolu-
tionary war.
Mr. Maddox Democrat. Georgia. OPP
posed the Wilson bill, and declared that
the free silver Democrats did not know
how to surrender. They knew how to
retire.
Mr.. Grady Democrat, North CarolinM
spoke in favor of free coinage.
Mr. Miiliken (Rep., Me- was out
spoken for speedy action. Bad legiSla-
ton could do no more harm than the
continuation of the uncertainty which
existed at this time.
Then the floor was taken by George
Washington Murray, OF South Carolina.
MIR. Murray is the only representative
of the colored race in congress.
The house at II :05 adjourned.
