WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 7.-Des-
pite the repeated threats OF desperate
free silver Senators, there are signs be-
meath the surface that more favorable
conditions for vote on repeal OF the
Sherman law may soon be brought
about.
Senator Morgan says his resolution
for Joint committee to investigate the
financial situation, including the bank
ing and currency system and everything
pertaining thereto, was not destined 10
divert attention from the repeal OF the
Sherman law nor to delay a vote
thereon.
He has informed Democratic Senators
who favor repeal that while be will
not vote for repeal he will not attempt
to delay action.
He insists that his plan shall be car
ried out regardless of action upon re-
peal.
Let the Sherman act, he says, be
repealed and then let members Of Con-
gress of both parties unite In endeavor-
ing TO remedy any defects which may
exist In our financial system.
MORGAN Is EARNEST
and sincere and it is no secret that the
President and Secretary Carlisle are In
favor OF some financial legislation after
the repeal Of the Sherman law.
The assertion by free silver leaders
that should the Sherman act be re-
pealed, the President would not sane
tlon any further legislation on finance.
has done more than anything else to
| soidfy and render determined the OPP
position to repeal.
The statement that the repeal OF tho
| Sherman act means gold monometaism,
has lost much Of its potency with all
save those, who from selfish considera-
ton. are resisting the repeal. Senator
| Morgan Is known as sturdy defender
~ silver, and has confidence that legls-
iatIon Of a proper and necessary clarac-
4 yor cau DO had aftor getting rid OF the
Sherman act. This robs the wild asser-
tions OF Stewart and Teller OF their
effect.
or course, nobody pretends TO know
what legislation the President would
approve, but he has indicated TO Oates
and other Congressman that he expects
something to be done after the situ-
alton shall have been relieved by re-
ha nd In
light OF results
FOLLOWING REPEAL.
Senator Morgan has also given assur-
ance that he will not conntenance any
fllbusterlng or needless waste OF time.
Senator German, who knows the SEN
ate well, says that nothing is TO be
gained by adopting stringent measures
Just now, that the Senate has always
recognized the right OF full de-
bate and 1t would be unwise
TO create irritation By seekisg TO cur
tail 1t now. He says that II some OF
the silver Senators protract the debate
and waste time the people will promptly
discern IL, and public opinion will come
to the support OF the majority In It's
efforts 10 compel a vote. His present
estimate Is that, making all allowance
for dragging speechee by some Of the
silver Senators. vote can be reached
in about three weeks. Meantime the
Democrats are united in their opposi-
tion TO filbustering, and the prospect OF
an opportunity to further legtslate on
finance during the present session tends
TO weaken entagonism 10 repeal.
