Senator Daniels. of Virginia, made q
strong speech yesterday in opposition to
the repeal of the Sherman law. He said
the hard times were attributable to the
destruction of the bimetallic basis of
credit at the dctation Of the European
money kings, adding that money was
needed, and the repeal OF the Sherman act
would have the contrary effect. 1t would
contract their currency by some $50,OOO,-
600 per annum. He favored a sound cur
roncy, every dollar of which should be
maintained at par with every other dollar,
and that it should consist of gold and
silver and of paper money payable in
gold and silver.
DEADLOCK IN THE HOUSE.
The Republicans, assisted by admins
tr1tion Democrats, have begun tilibuster'
ing to prevent action by the house on the
Tucker bill to repeal the federal election
laws. The expressed determination of
the Republican leaders to force the Dem
Gratis to get quorum of their own be-
fore the Tucker law can be reported,
deadlocks the house and blocks matters
at the southern end of the capitol until
such quorum is produced. The Repub-
licans are very much in earnest and are
being helped by few of the admlnistra
ton Democrats, who are trying to carry
outsths supposed wish of the president to
keep the house from doing anything
pending action on the silver bill in the
senate.
