Washington, Dec. 3.--The opening of
the short session of the house was pic
turesque in a way, but void Of interest
ing features. The victorious Republicans
and defeated Democrats exchanged
greetings and gave and took thrusts
on the result of the recent political bat
tie with much animation but thorough
good nature. The galleries were crowd
ed and half the desks on the floor were
smothered with flowers. The leaders
on both sides got enthusiastic recep>
tions from their respective partisans,
the appearance of Speaker Crisp, ex-
SpeakerReed, Wilson and Burrows being
the sign for long and loud outbursts
There was no chance in the first days
proceedings for reference TO the cleo
ton, so the actual proceedings were
dull and uninteresting. Several new
members were sworn in and after a
long wait the presidents message was
read. Although it was listened to with
interest 1t concluded without a mark
Of approves OF disapproval.
The reading of the message occupied
an hour and forty-five minutes. 1t was
listened to with careful attention, es-
pecially the portions relating to the
tariff and banking scheme, but there
was no demonstration when it was
concluded. Several routine reports were
after which Mr.. Scranton,
from Pennsylvania, an
nounced the death Of P. Wright, the
aise representative from the Fifteenth
District of Pennsylvania. The usual
were adopted, and then as

A Reply.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-On the fouPteenth
page Of your issue of March q find an
article from Fl. A. Teachout combating
the idea OF government loans to the peo-
pie. He ignores the fact that bank
credit plays the part of money in the
marts Of trade. He forgets that the
volume Of bank credit was billion dol
lars just before the panic. That this
added to billion dollars Of money in
certificates made 5 billion dollars, and
yet prices Of commodities and lands con-
stantly declined. He forgets that il the
people had plenty Of cash with which to
transact their business they would use
less bank credit. He makes fatal mis-
take in assuming that people borrow all
they can possibly furnish security for.
On the contrary they borrow Just as
little as possible to meet their pressing
engagements.
The writer above named, IL honest
with himself, will certainly come to the
conclusion that the only way to "regu-
late" the value Of money is for some
adequate power to supply the demand at
given rate Of interest. That when q
cash system is once established aud
maintained, values will be far more
stable than they have ever been In this
country. That ss population increases
and the demand for land increases its
value will steadily increase. That the
prices of lands and commodities are
affected by the demand for their use,
whether bought on credit or for cash.
That an increase Of the volume OF money
can only raise prices by increasing the
demand for commodities. Aud that the
increased demand for commodities is the
result of a more complste employment

They have to pay for every one they

Reports have reached headquarters
from Alabama that the best citizens in
that state are revolving against the cleo
tion machinery OF the organized demo
crscy. Colonel Trout, an able demo
cratic lawyer Of Montgomery, has ffsred
his service free of charge to prosecute
any and every one who will in the slight,
est way defrRud voters at the ballot
box in his county in the coming election.
Eminent democratic lawyers in other

quarters at Birmingham, and vigorous
campaign will be made from now on,
until the present returns are canvassed.

In Senator Peffer's report on Agricul
tursl Depression, we find the following
taken from the New York World Of
December 8, 1893 Contrast this dis
play OF royalty with the condition oi
wealth producers. The scene was at the
opening Of the season at the Metropoli
tan opera house in New York. Here
it is:
\ With the turning on Of the electric lights
\ flashes Of many hues scintilated from the
tiaras and necklaces worn by society'G
queens, for Monday night was veritable
blaze Of diamonds. The wearers displayed
themselves in the cushioned, padded and
silk lined boxes much as casket jewels are
shown in the stores. Somebody has figured
up that $2,5O0 100000 are possessed by the
men who own the grand tier of private
boxes, and somebody else of the same in.
ClinatiOn estimated that in the two rows Of
boxes last Monday night SIS, 900 worth
of jewels were displayed by the occupants
Allowing that at least $10,OO0.0OO worth
were scattered over the remaining parts OF
the house, for diamonds were in profusion
in the orchestra, and many gems were
noticed as high up as the family circle, that
would make altogether a rough estimate OF
at least $29 600, 900 worth of diamonds in
the general display.
THE sEIGNIoRAGE BILL AND THE PLUTO.

The New York World Of March q
gives q description of the efforts being
put forth in the East by the bankers

pressure to bear on Cleveland to veto

The New York chamber of commerce
appointed committee Of eighteen bank.
ers and millionsires to come to Wash.
ington by special train to inform the
president that he must veto the bill.
The sound money convention Of COM
mercial organizations also took action
by issuing circular requesting ell con.
stituents, bodies, and all organizations
and individuals holding sound money
opinions to urge President Cleveland to
veto the silver seigniorsge bill. 1t also
recites the fact that the board Of trade
OF Philadelphia and the chamber OF COM
merce Of Boston have taken similar 40.
tion.
After reedInR the above, one is forced
to inquire whether congress or the plu-
tocrsts of the East are running this
country. 1t will ever be thus until the
people Of the South and West know
enough to unite at the ballot box and
down this eastern gang.
