Senator VaTbers tumcied down
a GOD many imaginary structures
hen he asked AMI obtain q the
consent f tine Senate for the IL
lance committee to hold dallv
meetings while the Senate Is IN
session, in order to COZ sider and
report a financial bill. A number
of industrious liars have been work
ing double time to create the M
nrpssion thai Senator voorhees, and
The other democratic members OF
this committee were purposely de-
LAYING the consideration by the
committee of financial bills that
have been Introduced. TIE f,cts
speak for themselves and need no
com meDt.
The Senate is now considering
the bill favorably reported by the
finance COMM tie and endorsed by
Secretary Carlisle, aut horizing Ma
tinnal banks to issue currency TO
the foil amount Of bonds they have
denosi'ea 70 secure the came. Sen,
ator Cockrel has proposed several
amendments to the bill, because of
his belief that the National banks
already enjoy roo many privileges.
But inasmuch as the county is
greatly in need of the additional
currency which would at once be
put in circulation were the bill a
law there Is little doubt that it will
be passed without material amend
ment.
The House has another week of
silver debate ahead OF 1T before
the voting begins. The uncon~
dirional repeal men appear TO grow
more confident of the result, al
though they admit that If the ru-
NOR which is current, that forty or
fifty of the republicans have agreed
to vote with the silver men for The
amendment providing for the free
coinage Of silver a ratio OF 20 to
/, shall prove to be true they will
be defeated and the amendment
adopted. That rumor, however,
appears to have a very slender
foundation, as Representative
Bland, thu silver leader, says he
knows no,hing about any such ar
rangement aud does not believe
that it exists, and ex- Speaker Reed
SAYS the republicans OF the House,
with less than twenty exceptions,
will vote for unconditional repeal.
