'd twenty, IN order, and finally, If tn 4se
fail. upon the Bland and All son acts.
BlaYd offered an agreement made
this morning governing debate.
It limits the talk to a total of four
teen days, from II to 3, with night ses
s ons for debate only, if desired; adopted
Bland also presel ted the bill of the 4 zee
coinage caucus. At l p. u. Raynor
democrat, began debate iu support Of
the Wilson oil for the unconditional
repeal of the silver purchase clause Of
the Sherman act.
Raynor said the adoption OF free sill
yer coinage would tie the United State:
to the tail Of any bankrupt nation ot
the world. Opening the mints to silver
might, for q time, maintain d fictitious
value OF coin, bat the value of bullion
would always be regulated by the mar
ket price. SO long as the Sherman &c;
remains on t1e statute books, 50 long
will it be impo2s Die 10 effect interna
tional arrangements and SO long v ii
mo etaTy conferences result in failure
Brown, democrat, of Indiana, also
spoke in favor of the repeal, ard WIS
followed by Bland, who made long all
dress ia favor of silver.
All the indications poi to a drawn
battle on the floor of the house without
referring the quest on to the committee
on coinage, weights and measures
Bland readily acquiesces in the program
To fight the battle out on the floor of
the house IN committee OF the whole.
and in this arrangement anti-silver men
of course readily agree.
Two bills. one of which is t. turn all
the discussion of the financial question,
were today fully prepared and are ready
TO- presentation. The ore which is
drawn by the Gnti-silver men is brief
and to the polnt. 1t tersely provides
for the unconditional repeal Of so much
Of the act of July IA, 1890, as directs the
monthly purchase of 4 100000 ounces OF
silver bullion and issuing treasury
notes thereon.
The measure drawn by the free
coinage people is longer aud is UNIQUE
IN being drawn in manner which will
develop the greatest possible strength
of the free-cOinage element of the house.
The first portion OF the bill provides
that all holders # oue hundred dollars
or more of silver bullion of standard
weight shall be entitled to have the
same c7ined into silver dollars at the
mint Of the United States. D,Ilars so
coined are to be legal tender for all
debts, dues and demaJ Dis both public
and private, and any holder of silver
dollars may at his discretion deposit
the same in the United States treasury
and receive silver certificates for the
same. The number of grains OF silver
20 be contained in the standard dollar
is to b determined on the floor of the
house. The closing section of the bill
provides briefly for the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing clause. The b II
which is drawn by the free-coinage men
is regarded by their opponents as we'll
as by their friends as the s. strongest
measure that could be cossibly present
ed by the silver men, the question OF
ratio being left to the house.
The silver men alleged that no cause
could be given by the fslterlng free
coinage men for the abandonms at of
their principles. If the opponents of
free coinage have the numerical strength
they can OF course successfully strike
out every section of the bill re!atin to
free coinage and leave only. the last sec
ton, which provides for the immediate
repeal of the Sherman purchasing
clause. The principal question stall to
be determined is, which of the two bills
is TO have priority of consideration
Silver men Tear that If the repealipg
bill should BE- first taken up the free
coinage amendm nts. which would
De proposed might, under a
strict Interpretation OF parliamentary
law, be declared not To be germane 10
the subject under consideration, the
main question being that of repeal. To
guard against such a ruling and to in
sure sue cessive votes on all PROPOSE
lions to be presented by the silver men,
the latter. demand that the bill of the
free coinage Men, which also contains a
clause repeating the purchasing act,
shall be gwen priority Of considered on.
