years. Pass it and they would be robbed
Of 16 million dollars in q third Of that
time by the men in whose interest 1t
was passed.
'The issue has come, " said Mr.. Bryan,
in conclusion. "You have got to meet
this proposition. On these questions we
find the democrats Of the East and the
republicans Of the East lock arms and
proceed to carry out their policy, with
out reference TO the rest OF the country.
But, Mr.. Speaker,'iR they do that, they
must expect that on the principle of
sslf.preservRtion the rest Of the country
will drop party lines and unite to pre-
serve their homes and their welfare.
rApplause.l The demand Of our Eastern
brethren, both republicans and demo
Gratis, ia for a steadily appreciating
standard Of value. They are the credit
ore; they hold our bonds and our mort
cages, and 90 the dollars come up here,
and the debts increase, they gather an
unearned increment. And the time will
come In this country when the unjust
exactions and the oppressive demands OF
our Eastern friends shall heal divisions
in the West and South and end in the
restoration OF the doctrine Of Jefferson,
that every man is the equal Of other men
and has an equal right to the considers-
tion Of the government.
Mr.. Rssd arose. Instantly the hum
OF voices ceased and hush fell on the
house. "Mr. Speaker" he began, "thst
doctrine Of the union Of the South and
West has been preached before, and by
prophets whose inspiration lasted longer
than that of the gentleman from Ne
brssks (Mr. Brysn) But it has been q
failure. Il always will be failure. We
not only send our property West, but
we send our children there, and no man
who crosses from E ist to West Gao fail
to be struck by the fact that there ID
after all a unity Of sentiment between
the two sections of the country that no
language will ever blot out or destroy.
The Southern and Northern democrats
may not be able to live together. I ann
glad they are not able to live together,
But / say to you, the republicans OF the
East and Of the West aud Of the North
and South have thus far found some
method Of living together and they will
in the future"
Mr.. Rsed talked at length Fin favor Of
the resolution, though at many points Of
his speech he was met with dsrision
from both sides. Mr.. Wilson closed the
debate.

Thus they doubled the demands Ror

"For nearly thirty years these con-

They seek to accomplish their fell

"Shll harping on my daughter, }" re-
piled Mr.. Wilson, with a wave Of his
hand, but Mr.. DiDgley insisted upon an
answer to his question and Mr.. Wilson
replied that as be had stated on former
occasion, it was partly true by the oper'
ations of the endless chain process by
which gold was drained from the treas.
ury some of the money obtained from
the sale Of bonds had been transferred
from other accounts and had been used
to defrsY current expenses. He called
Mr.. DiUgley's attention to the fact that
under the national bank act OF 1874 the
bank notes, being rsdeemSbls by the
treasury, could be used by-conversion
to drain the treasury Of gold as well az
the legal tenders.
Mr.. Dingley, however, still persisted
upon more specific answer to his
original question, and Mr.. Wilson finally
admitted that a large amount OF the
gold received from the sale Of bonds
had been used to meet deficiencies In
the revsDues. Then Mr.. Diugley, re-
ferrinQ to Mr.. Wilson's former state
msnt about the transfer Of the bank
trust fund to the available assets Of the
treasury, declared that not one dollar
of that fund had been used to defrsy
current expenses.
"The difference between your methods
and ours" replied Mr.. Wilson, amid q
burst Of democratic applause, "is that
when we need money we borrow it.
When you needed it you borrowed it
R,.,.n - k,noA P0nd -
Mr.. DlngIey insisted that that fund
was not used until 1893, Whereupon Mr..
Wilson cited him to Secretary Windom's
report stating on September 10, 1891,
that the only available cash in the treas
urV was the amount Of the trust fund
turned over to that account in the pre-
cedlng July. This ended the fencing
between the opposing leaders, and Mr.
Wilson continued his argument where
il had been broken eff by Mr.. Dingley's .

Mr.. Bryan, Of Nebraska, made q half

For the month OF anuary there were no
personal expenses, witch might indicate one
or more OF several things. Hawkins bin for
December was unusually large. almost twice
large ii was in November. and there
were good many groceries bought from
Dodge & Camfield for s37.l2 in December, so
that, being cold weather when goods would
keep. perhaps a stock was laid In, and il was
about that sime also that the charity depart
ment was being moved from the old building
on North Court to Fountain street. Perhaps
1t was the result OF New Years resolutions
on tho part Of tho overseer. and his sister and
tso cook not to eat any more chickens that
didn't belong to them, and. like most New
Years resolutions IL was kept up all through
January. But they made up for 1t in Feb
ruary, the shortest month OF the year. and
for those 2s days the schedule shows bill OF
s5oo7 from Dodge g. Camfield. and S09.42
from Hawkins, total of sl22. 30 for meats and
groceries consumed in the shortest month of
the year by three persons regularly. with some
one at ''the other table" occasionally.
In March, Mr.. Cummings began with Calef
Brothers just fer trial, although most OF
the meat still came from Hawkins. In April
the balance was on the other side, and while

the dealers in high-priced meats and groceries
were called upon to furnish the delicacies
which should tickle the charity palates of the

matron. and his cook, Miss Celia Mcneil.
The bills OF that month, as reference ce TO the
above table viii indicate, were: Dodge &C.

find in this city many families OF three por.
