VINO earns his Gally bread by ms ually
toll"
These words are as pertinent now as in
the day they were uttered, and ought to
impressively remind MS that failure in
the discharge of our duty at this time
must especially injure those of our coun
trymen who labor, and who, because of
their number and condition. are entitled
to the most Watchtul care OF their govern
ment.
Should Act at Once.
1t is far the most important that such
relief as congress can afford in the exist
ing situation be afforded at once The
maxim HE gives twice who gives
quickly" is directly applicable. It may
be true that the embarrassments from
which the business of the country is suf-
fering arise as much from evils appre-
hended as from those actually existing.
We may hope, too that calm counsels will
prevail and that neither the capitalists nor
the wage earners will give way to unreas-
oning panic, and sacrifice their property or
their interests under the influence of ex-
aggerated fears. Nevertheless, every days
delay in removing one of the plain and
principal causes of the present state of
things enlarges the mischief already
done and increases the responsible
1ty of the government for it's existence
Whatever else the people have right to
expect from congress they may certainly
demand that legislation condemned by
the ordeal of three years disastrous eX-
perience shall be removed from the statute
books as soon as their representatives can
legitimately deal with it.
Tariff Can Wait.
1t was my purpose to summon congress
e tSf 5Sf9 %e eay n5 in hs aRief f0%1S
upon the work of tariff reform
which the true interests of the country
clearly demand, which so large majority
of the people as shown by their suffrages
desire and expect, and to the accom-
plishment of which every effort of
the present administration is pledged. But
while tariff reform has lost nothing of it's
immediate and permanent importance:
and must in the near future engage the
attention of congress, it has seemed to me
that the financial condition of the country
should at once and before all other sub
jects, he considered by your honorable body.
Recommends Prompt Repeal.
earnestly recommend the prompt re-
peal of the provisions of the act passed
July IA, 1890, authorizing the purchase of
silver bullion, and that other legislative
action may put beyond all doubt
or mistake the intention and the
ability of the government to fulfill it's
pecuniary obligations to money universally
recognized by all civilized countries.

WAsH1NeToN, Aug. 9.-The proceed
ings in the senate were of great public
interest. In the first place, the presi-
dents message was read and listened to

hour or more which the reading occu-
pied. The message was referred to the

ate printing was ordered.
Then the doodgates of legislation
were thrown wide open, and current
of bills on financial and other subjects
was admitted. MI. Hill of New York
was the first senator to get in bill for
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act. Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada followed with two other bills land
a specify on the same subject. In the
speech he declared himself against the
repeal of the Sherman act, and such
repeal would, he said, destroy silver
coinage forever.
Lodges Resolution.
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts, directing the
committee on finance to report bill
for the repe,.l of the purchase clause of
the Sherman act, and providing for
vote on the passage of such bill by the
22d of Aug. .st if not sooner reached.
This resolution was supplemented by
another offered by Mr.. Hale of Maine
fixing the hour of meeting of the sem
ate from and after Thursday next at II
q. m.
These resolutions precipitated a dis
cussion in which several of the leading
senators on both sides of the chamber
participated. They went over without
action. In the course of the discussion
Mr.. Sherman declared himself in favor
of a full and fair debate. without lini-
tation of closure, and Mr.. Teller said
that the debate would not come to an
end in 30 or even 60 days.
