minutes debates on the Wilson bill
began this morning with a speech
by Waugh for repeal as in the interest
of bimetallism.
Corners favored bimetallism but
would vote for unconditional repeal.
Johnson spoke for silver.
Pickler asked unanimous consent
to change the existing order SO as to
take vote Monday on the amend
ment confning free coinage to the
American product. 1t was objected
to. Pickler then tried to arrange for
vote on the American product free
coinage proposition after the Wilson
bill passed, but objection was again
made. He then proceeded to criticise
President Cleveland as being under
English influence.
Lucas Hartman spoke for free coin
age, and Bartholdt declared for re-
peal.
Houck favored unconditional re-
peal, and Hoar spoke against the bill.
Caruthers (Dem.) of Kentucky en-
dorsed every word of the presidents
message and stood ready to cast his
vote for repeal.
Dingley (Rep.) OF Maine advocated
the repeal of the Sherman purchasing
clause. He had voted for the Sher-
man bill because it contained re-
strictions that would postpone the
evil day.
Wilson of Ohio, although admitting
the difficulty of doing so, was in
favor of the government maintaining
a double standard of value.
For two and a quarter hours this
morning the house committee on
banking and currency discussed Rep
resentative Johnson's bill providing
for the exchange of treasury notes for
government bonds. At the request of
the latter the committee then ad-
journed until next Tuesday, when the
author of the bill hopes that decisive
action may be taken upon it. The
bill encountered opposition from
Messrs. Sperry of Connecticut and
Warner of New York, who argued
that the scheme opened up new
channel for the depletion of the gold
holdings in the treasury. 1t was said
if the bill became a law the holders
of the bonds would exchange them
for treasuy notes. To this Johnson
responded, the only occasion that
would induce holders of bonds, them
selves redeemable in gold and COM
manding premium, to exchange them
for currency of any kind would be
just such an urgency as is now upon
the nation. 1t was far-fetched OBJ
lection that gold would be demanded
for them. Broscas of PENNSYLVANIA
had substitute for the Johnson bill,
to authorize the secretary OF the treas
ury to issue notes in exchange for
gold coin. To this Johnson said he
had no objections as an independent
measure, but it did not, lin his opinion,
meet the case. People who have gold
do not have to send it to Washington
for notes in order to pay their debts.
Gold itself will do that. But people
who hold bonds, especially if they
are of large denominations, cannot
with them discharge their obliga-
tions. The Johnson bill was advo-
Gated by Messrs. Wilber, Hall of
Missouri, Cox favored it with a sub
stitution of some other form of note
than treasury notes. Messrs. ,Sperry
and Warner supported the substitute
proposed by Broscas.
