unalterably opposed to the wholess,
conversion Of :5eo.eoo, 90 non-jnt.res
bearing debt into an equivalent
amount Of Interest bearing debt un.
less rfe necessity for &c doing is dem,

for redemption without more"

entire approval to the bill and tho
message. He said ne believed that
the house would adopt the plan sub
stantially as recommended.
Mr.. Warner, Of New York. said IN
retirement OF outstanding treasury
certificates was the score Of tire prest
dents message. That would solve the
situation. Everything else was Incl
dental.
The views OF the silver men st n,
house regarding the message are thu
epitomized by Mr.. Bland (dem., Non
"The message sounds very much Ike
the one sent to congress insisting upon
she repeal OF the Sherman law as the
emily thing standing in the way of tho
prosperity OF the people. The prea-
dent Is right from his standpoint and
from the gold standpoint. If the law
which authorizes the redemption Of
all these notes in silver is to be ig'
nored under the plea that 1t is nec.S
sary to maintain the gold STANDARD.
then. in order to do this. bonds mus
be sold for gold to redeem the greer
backs and treasury notes. But, on III
other hand. the power given to III
banks to issue their notes on sM
bonds opens wide the door for IN
banks to food the country with theli
money. redeemable by the government
In gold. and have outstanding In 4
short time larger amount Of gold OBJ
legations in the way OF national oant
notes than we now have by virtue Of
the greenbacks and treasury notes
To maintain permanently the gold
standard ell money must be go con.
trected as to bring prices In this coun-
try down to the worlds level OF prices
I insist that the proper remedy Is 70
pay out silver the same as gold. That
Is the democratic creed and the CHI
cago platform, and the battle betweea
bi-metallism and gold mono-metallism
has begun right here and must "
fought out"
Mr.. Pence (pop.. Col) said: II an
opposed to the bill. 1t IS contract'a
pure and simple All the Sherman
notes-all the greenbacks to be hcugn.
with gold bonds and cancelled anu
nothing put In circulation In thel
stesd. It leaves this vast and GROWING
country with no money added to tne
active circulating medium except sucl
gold as may be found and brougn'
70 the mints and such notes as 'n'
banks may choose to issue"
