Walkers elaboration of the terms OF his
bill attracted the closest attention and the
members crowded about him, taxing him
with numerous questions, which he met
and parted. His bill, he declared. would

clatic doctrines of jackson and Benton.

many Democrats as we'll as Republicans.
Hall 3D. of Missouri. also member of
the Committee on Banking and Currency,
followed Walker. He said it must be dis
tncty understood by members that the
Walker bill was not under discussion, and
that when they came 10 vote they must
vote either for the Carlisle bill or a con-
tnuatlon Of the present system. Hall
contended that the Carlisle bill was OPP
posed by the national banks because they
preferred the. Baltimore plan. Why? Be-
cause in the Baltimore plan the Govern
ment stood behind the notes issued. and in
the Carlisle till the banks themselves
were responsible for their notes. Hall
insisted that every bank official summoned
before the committee mad been forced to
admit, when cornered. that currency is
sued under the Carlisle dill would be en-
tirely safe. They had opposed the bill on
account of the fifth section. which made
the banks solely responsible for their is
sues. He also repudiated the statement
that this bill had been prepared in haste.
He said it had been prepared after fifteen
months of investigation by the Banking
and Currency Committee and twenty
months of suffering by the treasury. AT
the conclusion of Halls speech the COM

Would De passed IN the place OIL the Car
Isle bill.
THAT would be done if you had the
courage of your convictions" continued
he, addressing the Democratic side, but,
failing in that l hope you will recommit
the Carlisle bill, as | feel you surely will
when you know its character"
While contrasting his bill with Carlisle's
he dwelt upon the advantages of Gil
vorcing trade from the Government;
of allowing banks to proceed under the
laws OF trade, not the laws of commerce.
A bank and lis customers are mutually de-
pendent. A bank could pay optionally in
gold and silver under his bill. But the
laws of trade. the necessities of the case
and the necessity OF protecting the cur
rency would determine. The Bank of France
furnished an analogy. That bank would
pay in silver if silver would do as well as
gold. II the purposes for which the money
was to be used required gold gold would be
paid in any quantity. The laws of Con-
gress could be defied, the laws of trade
never.

shape of "forked tongues OF flame
from wood burning in the CRATE, but,

to figure on the cause. To bring the
matter quietly to the point, it may be
said that the many colors are the re-
suit of combustion among the differ

blue is from the hydrogen and the
white from carbon. The violet is
from manganese, the red from mag
