IN TIE HOUSE
| Daniel of New York, opened the silver
| debate spec ch favorable to the reDeal OF
! the purchase clause followed by Cooper
of Florida, who also spoke for repeal.
Goidzier, democrat, OF Illinois, fol-
| lowed Cooper with a speech in favor of
repeal. The house then, as tribune of
respect 20 the late Congressman Chip
man, at 1:30 adjourned until tomorrow.
The financial dscu son in The house
| took on NOR decided interest today
| than On any occasion since the opening
| OF the silver debate. William j. Bryan,
| the eloquent yOusg congressman from
| Nebraska, added greater laure.s to his
| Tepu alton as an orator and made free
| coinage speech which, in the oJiuon of
many, surpassed his great tariff speech
| two years ago. Ia the course Of his
speech Bryan said:
upon the acton of this congress
might depend, not only the welfare of
the south and the west, not only the
| welfare OF the United States, but the
welfare of humanity itself for ages to
| come. IL the United StaJes, tire great
est silver-producing courtry, abaDdoUs
| silver, it will 10 8ll probability lead to
the annihil' ton OF silver as standard
money. The president recommended
| the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law. The democratic members are
| under no obligation TO adopt his recon-
incubation, since they are responsible to
| their constituents OILY.
NO HONEST DOLLAR.
"There is no such thing as en honest
| dollar. because an honest dollar would
| always have the same purchasing power
and the government has never attempt
ed to secure absolute stability in q
dollar. che most dishonest dol ar ever
proposed is that child Of avarice and
ignorance called the gold dJllar, for it
would constantly rise II value and cheat
the debt r. Tnough We caunot secure
an absolutely honest dollar, we should
approach it as nearly as possible, and
TIE bi-;I3tallic standard ought to be
adopted, because with bi-metallism
money the unit fiuc,uates less than
under the single s aDdard. international
Ii-metalIism is desirable but, not neces-
sary and not probable. Other European
nations wait upon England. England
interests lie III the direction Of the gold
star dard.
To make our action dependant upon
her ALL ,ws HER TO LFGIsLATE for our
people. We believe that The restoration
of free coinage as it existed previous to
1915, would raise The price of silver bull
lion to 5l.29 per once throughout the
world and render unnecessary any
change in the present ratio. The Sher-
nan law is rot the cause Of cur financial
stringency. MenOyed msn of the east.
without any intention of course, start
the panic by exaggerating the dangers
Of gold exporta ion. When the panic
came they we're injured rs much as any
body else.
''The trouble ! ow is that the Sher-
man law will not increase the solvency
of the banks. The president has been
deceived. He said IN bis message that
the people demanded the repeal of the
Sherman law. He had heard from the
boards OF trade and from the chambers
of commerce, but, he had not heard |
from the farmers or men in the work |
shops and he could no more Judge Of |
the opinion OF the people than he could |
measure the oceans depth 10y the foam |
on he ocean wave.
The president was. elected upon a |
platform thrice pledged to the gold and |
silver coinage OF the constitution. Nine |
tenths Of the people Of the U nited States |
stood ready to sustain him in the fight |
In the face of the enemy, bod and |
inso.ent, Ee ordered retreat. Let him |
rot dIsmay There l. time Yet 10 win |
the battle If he viii but order charge |
Will the party stand by the principles |
of Jeffers on and jackson, or will it |
abandon its right to its name? Will it |
choose life or death! Which: ITremend- |
Gus applause
At the close of the speech there were |
loud cries OF "Vyter' and the Nebraska |
orat IT was surrounded by his colleague |
congratuigting him upon his great eff
font. Henderson, of Iowa, said the mCst |
gratifying thing that could reach the |
people of the United States were these |
pected early action. He would be glad |
to come to a vote at once:
Moses, Of Georgia, spoke against the |
repeal of the bill. and opposed the prop
osition 10 raise tae standard from the |
sixteen to one t. twenty to ore.
The house then adjourned.
