HIS WORDS BURN.
Senator Vest on Party Platforms
and Pledges.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. - While the
monotonous debate over the question Of
free coinage or repeal is progressing in the
House, with % prospect of vote until two
weeks from to-day, the indications are that
the Senate will devote its first legislative
action to an entirely different remedy for
the financial stringency-that Of permitting
national banks to issue currency to the full
par value Of their United States bonds on
deposit in the treasury. Thus the two
bodies will be working somewhat at cross
purposes. and out of the complications to
ensue no one knows what will finally be
evolved.
The developments in the Senate today
were decidedly discouraging TO those who
hoped for the Unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law. The introduction by Sena-
tor Voorhees, of an increased currency bill
and its reference to the committee of
which he is chairman indicates that the
Finance Committee Will first seek relief
in recommending the issue of national
bank notes to the par value of bonds de-
posted and that the question OF free coin
age and the repeal of the Sherman act
will be relegated to the flu ure for more
leisurely consideration.
Later in the day, when Senator Vest re-
affirmed his allegiance TO bimetaliism and
spoke against the unconditional repeal OF
the Sherman act, the repeal men found
greater cause for disappointment.
When the Senate met an avalanche of
petitions was presented and referred.
Some prayed for the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman law; quite
as many were against repeal. Several
were for the freer use of silver as legal
tender in the Uniled States, and some
were for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l.
Perkins (Rep) OF California made his
debut in the Senate with the presentation
OF various memorials from the San Fran
cisco Chamber OF Commerce for the
enactment Of substitute for the purchas-
ing clause Of the Sherman act, for the
annexation Of the Hawaiian Islands. and
in favor of the Nicaragua Canal
At this oint the national banknote
bill was introduced by Senator Voorhees,.
chairman of the Finance Committee
Accompanying the bill " as letter from
Secretary Carlisle saying. in part: 1.-THE
enactment of such a law would cradle the
national banks to issue and put into Gil Gu
tation at once. on bonds already deposited
