savings banks; he asked them to listen to
the workingmen thrown out of employment
he asked them to listen to the voice of fear that
our country was entering on period black
with sorrow and black with woe.
The opinion of the world, from barbaric
Africa to civilized Great Britain, was that gold
was the more precious of the two metals He
did not assert that the Sherman law was the
cause of all the present woe from which the
country was suffering to-day. The United
States had been guilty of one fault and that
was 10 turn the tide of gold from our shores TO
the shores of Europe. The present situation
was the result of the United States trying to set
itself against the tide which was running the
world around.
Referring to the proposed amendments to the
Wilson bill, Mr.. Hendrix declared that there
was no ratio named in the substitute bill that
would not make the United States laughing
stock in every other nation of the world.
Mr.. Bowers, free silver Democrat of Ala
bama, said the free coinage of silver would
tend to relieve the present depression. Many
of the banks of the United States, which were
to-day with their doors closed. would be glad
to receive the dollar of our daddes. This Ma
tion could make its own money for its own
people, and if England wanted TO put up the
bars all right. This country, which could pro-
duce every necessity and every luxury, must
not surrender to the little island, which must
depend upon what it could obtain from other
nations. This question was not partisan one.
Delegate Rawlins, Democrat of Utah, lent
his voice in favor of free coinage. The declara-
tion made by the anti-slver men that the Gov
eminent was issuing dollar which was worth
but so cents was absurd By the Constitution
of the United States the express power was
given to Congress to coin money aud regulate
its value. Under that power the Government
had declared that the silver dollar was equal
in value to the gold dollar. If this Congress
adjourned without action there would be de-
probation in the valuation of silver that
would be frightful to contemplate and would
bring on monetary panic at once.
The House, at 4:50 adjourned until ii o'clock
Monday.

THURSDAY, AUG. 10.

To-day was day Of waiting in the House.
The Democratic silver and anti-silver advisory
committees were meeting both separately and
conformity, and it was the plan of the Demo
Gratis to give them time TO reach satisfactory
conclusion. Therefore, after recess had been
taken, an adjournment was desired, and mo.

The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-08-17

When the House met at IL o'clock there was
larger array of members present than there
was at the corresponding hour on Saturday
last, but tho attendance was still far short of
quorum. 1t was composed principally of the
new men, the old members being generally
absent.
The Speaker announced the following COM
mittes appointments:
Enrolled Bills-Messrs. Pearson (Chsrman),
Russell, Of Georgia; Latmer, Hines, Hager,
Adams, and Gillet, Of New York.
Accounts-Messrs. Rusk (Cnairman), Pawn
ter, Tate Mutchler, Iker. Wells Post, Wright
of Massachusetts, and Marvin.
Mileage-Messrs. Lynch chairman, Strait,
Pendleton, of Texas, and Mahon.
The silver debate was resumed. Mr. Boatner
spoke from silver stand point, and charged
that the advocates of the Wilson bill, the gold
men of the Democratic party and of the Repub-
lican party, were responsible for the excitement
which had created the destruction of public
confidence and which had caused the runs
upon banking institutions.
The bill now presented was intended to re-
peal cowardly makeshift and no more. He
declared that the Democratic party had pledged
| itself to bimetalism, leaving nothing for Con-
gress to do except fix the ratio. The Republi-
can party was pledged 10 bineta!ism, leaving
| nothing for Congress to do but to fix the ratio.
He insisted that the Democratic party should
| fulfill its pledges to attempt to carry bimetal-
ism into effect
Mr.. Layton (Ohio, d. spoke as he said as
conservative man. He would vote for the bill
under consideration for the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman bill He would
do this however, relying npon the good faith
of the Democratic Administration aud the
Democratic Congress that in the coming regu-
lar session some permanent legislation would
be enacted that would give all the people some
suitable money worth dollar all the world
round.
Mr. Patterson Tenn, d. advocated the re-
peal of the purchasing clause, aud criticised
the amendments proposed to the pending
measure. If the Government agreed to the
free coinage of silver at TIE ratio of IS to it
would at once and abruptly bring the country
to a single silver standard.
Passing over the ratios Of II and IS to 1 he
came to the ratio of 90 to l. The silver dollar
coined at that ratio would be worth exactly 81
cents. Could this country afford to take this
step and coin freely. deliberately and independ-
ently a silver dollar worth but 81 cents? fit
did so it would expatriate every dollar of gold
from the land
Mr.. Bailey Tex, d. followed Mr.. Patterson
in speech advocating the Bland free-coinage
! substitute for the Wilson repeal bill.
Mr.. Pendleton (Dem., w. Va attributed the
present lack of confidence to unsound money.
II was satisfied that tie DULY way that parity
could be brought about between gold and silver
was for the country to come in accord with the
other commercial nations of the world.
Mr.. Hutchinson Tex, d. made humorous
speech in favor OF the coinage OF silver, aud the

Cleveland Hung in Efigy.

President Cleveland was hung in efigy at
Golden, Colo, August 10, by free silver enthu-
siasts. The figure supposed to represent the
President was strung up to telegraph pole in
front of the Mayors Office. An ardent Populist
headed the hanging party.

The second section provides that National
banking associations shall be entitled to re-
| ceive circulating notes to the value, at par, OF
United States bonds on deposit, not, however,
to exceed the amount of capital stock actually

The bill was read and referred to the Finance
| Committee.
Mr.. Vest called up the resolution offered by
him last Tuesday, in the words: g Resolred,
| That the American people from tradition and
interest favor bimetalism and the free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and silver. without
| discriminating against either metal; that it is
| also the established policy Of the United States
to maintain the parity of the two metals, so
| that the debt-paying and purchasing power Of
| every dollar shall be at all times equal; that
it is the duty of Congress to speedily enact
such laws as will effectuate and maintain these
| objects"
| Mr.. Vest now spoke in support of his resolu-
| ton. Taking up the Sherman act, Mr.. Vest
| spoke of it as houseiess and homeless legisla-
tive deg, with no one even to give it bone,
and without being able to End kennel in
which to hide its dshonored head. Neverthe-
less, he would vote against it's repeal without
guarantee as solemn as the great necessity of
the people that silver shall exist in the United
States as a money metal. He had been known
President of the United States, and had in all
campaign speeches in Missouri declared Mr..
Cleveland to be bimetslist like himself, and
that they only differed in reference to the
ratio. He had had the right to make that
statement, because Mr.. Cleveland had &C
cepted the nomination on q platform
which pledged the Democratic party to BIZ
metalism. 1t had -Jbeen well known

trine of biInetalism as that it had met in
Chicago and nominated Grover Cleveland for
the Presidency. He did not undertake to say
now that the President was opposed to bimetal-
ism, or that he would not give his executive
sanction to q measure to coin silver at a COM
mercial ratio with gold, but he did undertake
to say that the Presidents message was most
significant for what he failed to say. He failed
lin that great state paper to say one word in
respect to bimstalsm. He certainly meant
that consideration Of the question of free coin.

coud it be expected that silver could retain its
value when those two great nations took away
the monetary use of silver?
In conclusion Mr. Vest repealed the idea of
there being necessity for international agree
ment on the subject of silver. At the close of
his speech Mr.. HOar obtained the floor and
then, after short executive session for the
reference TO committees Of the nominations re-
ceiyed to-day, the Senate at 420 adjourned

some time, they left, saying that
they would call tomorrow and he
could have the police there and
they would 'do 'em all up The
negro was glad to get rid of the
troublesome intruders and paid no
