/ would add $19, 000,0 900 to the money ID
circulation Immediately and probably as
much more in three months The only
argument presented against the bill is
the old one, that national banks cnjoypriy
ileges denied to others, and iuasmuch as
any persons having tie requisite capital
are at all times free to organize Nation
al bank and get their share of the priyi-
leges, that isn't good one. After vot-
I ing down some silly amendments propos-
ed by Senators Allen and Cockfill, the
Senate has now to vote upon one for the
| repeal OF the tax On State bank currency
which has been offered by Butler of,
South Carolina, and there will probably
be more of the same sort.
The speech of Representative ]. G.
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, was the most
conspicuous, for several reasons, made
in the House during the past week. Mr.
Sibley is a Democrat, Bible reader,
millionaire, and free silver mantle
only one in Congress from the East, and
his speech was at times highly sensa-
tional. He was not quite as open in his
attact upon President Cleveland as SEN
ator Vest was, put the attack was there
all the same.
The unconditional repealers now claim
safe majority in both House and Sem
ate, but their claim of 45 votes in the SEN
ate includes several votes which are very
doubtful and which are counted by the
silver men in every estimate they make
The trouble about getting at what the
result will be in the Senate arises large
ly from there being anumber of Senators
who if they have made up their minds
how they will vote have taken nobody
into their confidence.
Jerry Simpson dealt the Democrats a
heavy blow below the belt when in a
silver speech he fired this question at the
House, in his rasping exasperating voice:
Whoever heard Of the Democratic party
ever repeating a law or making a law !"
Receiving no answer, Jerry glared at the
Administration group in the House and
added There is no Democratic party
any more; it is President Clevelands
party" From which it will be seen that
even man of Jerry's small caliber can
sometime perceives The true inwardness
of things Democratic

the earnest desire of almost everybody
to see the matter settled, there arc no re-
grets, for with few exceptions the

cor monplace. Unless all outward indi-
cations are at fault all of the silver
amendments will be voted down and the
