SENATOR VEST SPEAKS.
Senator Vest, in presenting the resolu.
tions of the st. Louis Chamber of Com.
merce urging immediate adoption of the
presidents recommendations, made a
strong speech opposing the presidents
plan. He said that the st. Louis cham.
Der did not represent the people of Mis-
souri,. "The president has declared war
on silver" said Senator Vest. "He would
make us accessories to this effort to fix
the gold standard upon u.s." In answer
to question Senator Vest said that he
did not believe there was any possibility
of the finance committee agreeing on any
measure.
sILvER's CHANCE.
Il was considered very significant that
Mr.. Springer's financial bill Contained NO
mention of silver, and the suggestion was
made that perhaps the omission was
intended to permit concession to the sill
yer men. Mr.. Springer openly avowed
that the bill was the ADMINISTRATIONS and
was drawn at the treasury department
It was learned from source very close
to the administration that the omission
of any silver provision was intentional.
The president has no objection, the mem
ber who gave the information said, to
the provision for the coinage of silver
bullion in the treasury and the seignior-
age, but he did not care to make any re-
Communications to that effect, with the
understanding that if such amendment
was proposed the friends of the admins
tration would make no objection to it.
