by Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, that the
| s1Ibiect was too important to he disnosed
! of hastily, it was sent to the calendar.
The Vice President again said the
! Voorhees, bill was before the Senate and
! open to amendment
Mr.. Jones of Nevada, expressing ex-
treme reluctance TO again ask the indul-
| gence of the Senate, said he would pro-
ceed as rapidly as possible to conclude
his argument, commenced two weeks
/ ago, and interrupted on Friday last. He
! characterized the gold interest as the
Moloch which would sacrifice a million
men, women and children toits insatiate
CRED, eand said if the people of the
United States did not destroy the gold
standard it would destroy them.
| AT 20, Mr.. Harris asked Mr.. Jones
whether it would suit him to have the
| Senate adjourn now, and finish his
| speech tomorrow. The suggestion was
agreeable to Mr.. Jones, and Mr.. Harris
moved that the Senate adjourn until to-
morrow at 11$a m. He spoke of the
tence. Of letting all proceedings Of the last
| fortnight appear as If of the legislative
| Tuesday, October 18th. A suggestion
| was made by.NIr, Morrill, that i D. m.
| tomorrow be fixed for the final vote, but
| Mr.. Harris, while asserting his readiness
| to end the matter at any moment, would
| not agree to unanimous consent.
A plea was made by Mr.. VOORHEES, in
favor of taking the final vote before ad-
lournment. Finally Mr.. Harris withdrew
his motion and MIR. Jones proceeded with
his speech. He asserted that the result
of the passage of the pending measure
aid be. to filch from the laborer
portion of his poor reward and thus turn
the blessings of material progress into
Hlair C the AMI IF

constantly increasing value of the unit
of money proposed to 60 before the people
and see that every man, woman and
child in the United States should

Senate intended to do today.
Mr.. PETER, saying that he desired to oc-
cupy but fifteen minutes, proceeded to
show up what he called the crowning
infamy of this controversy"

closing remarks. The latter said the be-
tayal and capture of the White House
