DANIEL SPEAKS.
Mr. Daniel replied to the speech Of Mr..
1Iiggins. which was. he said, dismal ana
,,itifuI picture Of the distress now per-
"a ling the civilized world. That distress
-ir. Daniel said. was widespread, he
might say. from Greenland's icy noun
tains to midas coral strand
While that Senator had called attention
20 starving Manchester. ana TO de-
graded India. he had told the Senate but
little Of the distress which perVaded his
own country in consequence OF the i'll
conceived and ill-considered action
of Congress in repeating the pur-
chasing clause Of the sherman
act Not single prophecy Of those
which were made by the friends OF that
repeal had been fulfilled; but the predic-
tons which he Mr DanieD had then
made IN his argument against the re-
peal had been fulfilled. He had predicted
that the unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause Of the sherman law would
b. followed by a decline in the price OF
silver. by further decline IN the price
Of property. bonds. and securities, and
by an attempt TO retire the greenbacks.
and all Of these predictions had been fui-
filed. The Democratic party, which had
pledged itself 10 the coinage 81 both gold
and silver and 90 the repeal of the tax
on State banks. had failed to keep its
pledges. and would now "be deprived of
POWER without ever having been in
power"
The regular consideration OF the Indian
appropriation bill was then proceeded
with
CHANDLER AGAIN.
In the course OF debate. Mr.. Chandler
made second speech. on an amendment
