STILL TALKING MONEY.
The Parallel Between Mr.. Springer
and Saul of TarsuS.

WASH INGToN, Dec. 19-The debate on the
currency bill continued uninterrupted liz the
House Today. johnson (R) of Indiana and
Ellis Cd OF Kentucky opposed it and Warner
(D) Of New York supported IL. The speech OF
Ellis was of rather a sensa ional character and
The applause it received from the free-silver
Democrats indicated plainly the unalterable
opposition of The silver men of the House to
the Carlisle plan. Bland. the silver leader.
gave notice that he would offer his frees silver
Dill as a substitute for the bill.
AS soon as the regular routine had been dis
posed of. on motion OF Springer the House went
into committee OF the whole, ana debate on the
currency bill was resumed.
johnson OF Indiana. one OF the members of
the minority of the Banking and Currency
Committee, opened with a vigorous speech in
opposition TO the Carlisle bill. "Admittinp
the defects OF our currency system" he
said, perfection conld not be obtained nv
lie passage of bill along the lines
suggested by the Banking and Currency
Committee. 1t was much easier TO attack
the present system than to offer safe
substitute. The present system had given the
country greenback currency, which enabled
the Government TO carry on war and pl odueed
u market for our bonds in the hour Of danger
and peril. The currency ii produced had never
been questioned This was no time for experi.
mental legislation. There was no need of indie.
cent speed"
The exIgeneies confronting the treasury had.
Johnson said, constrained The majority mem
bers OF the committee 10 sffix their signatures
TO report which. IN many respects, they did
not approve. He took up The bill section by
section and attacked its various provisions.
He called attention 10 SDringeps opposition TO
the repeal OF the 10 per cent tax on State
banks last spring and his present advocacy OF
provision for its repeal in this bill.
az know of no change OF heart comparable to
it," said johnson, Sin either sacred or profane
history unless it was the conversion of Saul of
Tarsas. But there the parallel ends. for Saul
was converted to the right, while the gentleman
from Illinois has been converted 10 the wrong"
Republican applause.l johnson spoke for
almost two hours and was literally applauded
at the conclusion of his remarks.
On motion of Springer the committee then
rose temporarily. and an ORDER was made fixing
Tie time of meeting of the House 10 morrow al
IL O'Clock instead of 2. This was done 10 en-
able the House TO devote several hours to
debate before the exercises in connection with
The dedication of the statues OF Webster and
Starke.
Warner D.) OF New York, also member OF
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-12-20

the Committee on Banking and Currency, TOOK
The floor in support of the pending measure.
He denied that The bankers who had appeared
before the committee were opposed TO the
Carlisle bill, with Two exceptions, st: John OF
New York and A. j. Warner Of Ohio. He de-
clared that every banker who appeared before
the committee had Endorsed the principles
upon which the bill was based, and In many
cases had approved It's details.
Ellis CD of Kentucky followed, and was the
first Democratic member of the Banking and
Currency Committee 10 attack the Carlisle bill.
AT the outset be proclaimed shat he was con-
vlnced that its pas sage would remedy none OF
the defects of the present financial system. In
the committee two conflicting theories had
struggled for supremacy-one urged by The
officials of the Government, who desired pro-
lection from the assaults or the gold specula-
tors. and the other. urged by the bankers, who
sought 10 extend their privileges ana Increase
their power and profits The people had moth
ing TO hope from such schemes. He charged
that behind the bill were the same influences
that forced the repeal OF the Sherman ACT and
which had predicted that prosperity would fol-
low. The repeal of the Sherman law having now
admittedly failed. this currency scheme had
been insidiousy pressed forward by the same
high authority. For thirty years the Demo
cratic party had condemned the national bank
system. yet IL was now proposing not
only TO perpetuate the system but TO
perpetuaIe it In form more objection
able than that in which it at present
existed. Ellis, i'll conclusion, charged the Dem
ocratic party in Congress with being false to IT'S
Chicago Platform pledges in not passing a tariff
oilif for revenue only; in not repeating outright
the 10 per cent tax on State banks. and in not
restoring silver TO ITS position as money
metal on the same terms with gold.
1.-THE Democratic PROMISES" said he, "wIll
not be redeemed until The people elect Demo-
cratic President. When The dav comes, as l
believe It will. the chief executive will not be
chosen from that small and select class who
believe that all the financial integrity and ca.
pacity in this country is quarantined On Man
haitian Island"
Terry (D.) of New York gave notice OF an
amendment he should offer to make circulating
notes redeemable by the banks issuing them in
equal parts in gold and silver.
A resolution was passed TO allow the Govern.
or OF New Hampshire and staff on the floor dur
ing the exercises in connection with the dedi-
cation OF the statutes of Webster and Stark,
ana the House adjourned.

THE NOEL GUILD.
An Entertainment for the Youths
Directory

hCStOTys
An entertainment was given yesterday
evening in Golden Gate Hall by the Noel
Guild for the benefit OF the homeless boys
of the Youths Directory. The rain inter-
tered with the attendance. but considering
the weather there was a fairly large audi
ence.
III appeared that the weather had played
little havoc with the attendance of the
performers also, but the only result was a
few transpositions in the order in which
the numbers came, and this did not IN any
way prevent every one present from
spending very ENJOYABLE evening. After
few opening remarks by Miss Alice g.
Friedlander. Louis Schmidt played viola
solo with good deal of precision. Frank
helly's vocal solo was well rendered and
received an encore.
