While the sundry civil appropriation
bill was under discussion in the Senate.
on Monday last, Senator German, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, in some remarks made
in opposition to appropriations for public
buildings. spoke OF the alarming and
serious condition which confronted the
country. expressed the belief that only
the borders Of the trouble had been
touched, and said that extraordinary
action would have to be taken by the
Treasury Department, or else Congress
would have to assemble before next July
to meet the condition His warning did
not prevent the Senate from agreeing to
all amendments that were offered, max
ing appropriations for or increasing the
limit of the cost Of public buildings. The
only yea and nay vote taken upon them
showed al Republican Senators, except
Senator sherman, in the affirmative, and
ali the Democratic senators, except Sen
ator Vest, in the negative.

New Silver Scheme Proposed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 20
Representative Livingston, of Georgia, is
preparing and will probably introduce
during the day bill on the lines of an
understanding reached yesterday at a
conference between Senator Carlisle ard
seventeen Democratic members of the
House, representing various elements
Except the radical free coinage men) of
the party on the silver question. Among
those present were Messrs. Livingston
ana Turner, Of Georgia; Cox, Of Tennes-
see; Breckenridge, of kentucky; Breck-
inridge, of Arkansas; Bynum, of Indi-
ana; Clark and Oates. of Alabama;
Bacon, of New York; Tracy, Williams
and Andrew, of Massachusetts, and
Brawley, of South Carolina. Cox: II
Tennessee, and Livingston, OF Georgia,
have heretofore voted steadily with the
free coinage men and most of the other
Southern men present have, as rule,
voted rather reluctantly with the silver
men on most proposltlonS. Ahe uhueT-
standing reached, for the men present
say that it could not be called definite
agreement, was 70 suspend silver pur-
chases, to reserve sufficient silver to pro
vide for the redemption of outstanding
notes issued in payment of silver pur-
chases and to coin at the rate of S3,00O,-
600 month silver representing the pro-
fit or the difference between the pur-
chase price and coin value of the silver
heretofore bought. After this is done
silver purchases are to be resumed unless
there is new legislation meanwhile. The
profit amounts to about S47,0O0,OOO so
that it will take sixteen months to coin
the bullion. The out and out free silver
men announce that they will fight the
proposition to the death.

do as the first step in Democratic reform,
for this would be to reform backward.
1t is no answer to say that gold would
come here to supply currency demands,
for we all know there is no gold to bring
here without bringing on panic in the
gold-using countries.
Besides, the countries now using gold
are those where all, or nearly all, our
exports go. The more we drain those
people of their gold the lower of neces-
sity will prices 60 in those countries; so
that when we sell them our wheat, corn,
pork, beef and cotton we must expect
them to pay US less than they give US
now. Certainly those things are at this
time much lower than they should be,
and so low that the producing Of them
yields but little profit. The Democratic
party cannot afford to so legislate as to
cause prices here and abroad to fall.
The people who sent US here did not
think they were voting for such a thing
as that, but, on the contrary, they were
aiming to improve matters in this dlrec-
ton and not to make them worse. ] did
not vote for the Sherman law. One OF
the reasons was, I doubted whether the
Departments or the Secretary of the
Treasury would construe the law to mean
that he was bound to purchase the amount
called for in the law, to wit, 100000
ounces of bullion per month; but under
the ruling or practice of the department
that is held to be compulsory, so that
very important objection is obviated.
Again, the law does not compel the
coinage of all the bullion purchased, but
that can be remedied without repeating
the law; we can provide for coinage OF
the bullion. The opponents of free coin
age are demanding more silver in the
dollar. Are they seeking by the repeal
of the present law to precipitate fall in
the value of silver as compared to gold,
so as to compel the ratio to be, instead
of l6 to l, 80 OF 100 to Ia ''cart-wheel
dollar" indeed?
We are anxious to see what kind OF
tariff law we are to get. If we reduce
the schedule all along the line 50 per
cent, yet by monetary legislation shall
contract the currency so as to make the
dollar in which the tariff is paid worth
so per cent more than now, what redress
do we get? II will take the same amount
of labor and the products of labor to pay
our reduced tariff as it takes now to
meet the extortions of the Mckinley bill.
Are we thus to be cheated on the tariff
and money questions going and coming?
We are told that we must contract the
currency so as to compel gold to come
here so as to maintain gold resumption
and the gold standard. In other words,
we must tax labor by contracting the
currency, thus lessening prices SO as to
comp gold to come here.
If the shylocks and gold worshippeTs
must have gold, let them submit to an
income tax to buy it, and not saddle the
burden upon the laboring and producing
masses. shall insist to the best of my
ability upon the largest tariff reduction
possible, and the free coinage of silver so
as to maintain prices, in this way to
relieve the people of some of the grievous
burdens. This 1 conceive to be Demo
cratic. Anything short.of it will be to
that extent short of what the constitu-
ency represent here demand.
