say that J. S, Morgan & Co. said so
 The secretary accepted that. The bono
 contract was a poor one. The Ameri
 can people had never been appealed to
 and, therefore, we must pay S16,500, ,00t
 more at the dictation of foreign syndi
 cate. If this gold bond scheme were
 carried into effect our outstanding coir
 obligations would depreciate sixteer
 and half millions a day.
 MT. Grosvenor said he would not vote
 for the resolution as it was fraught witt
 dishonor.
 MT. Daniels rep. of New York, depre-
 cated the terms of the contract made by
 the secretary, but said that congress
 was without power to amend it,
 Mr. Coombs, dem., of New York, said
 that the circumstances surrounding the
 case compelled the secretary to make an
 extraordinary bargain. He asserted
 that the price of government bonds
 had advanced in London simply be-
 cause of the knowledge of the deter
 imitation of this syndicate to maintain
 the price of bonds.
 MT. McMillan, dem., of Tennessee,
 said there need be no fear that the l country would not continue to main
 tain it's credit. If the amendment in- volved fifty missions a year he would
 vote to send the country along the line 1 which he regarded as ruinous MT. Hendrix, dem, of New York, said
 if there was anything bad in the con-
 tract made by the secretary the repub- | 1icans who opposed the passage of the joint resolution were responsible for it. | Qronical applause)
 | MT Simpson, pop, of Kansas, Wheel CT, dem., of Alabama, Northway, rep, of Ohio, and Bland dem., of Missouri, opposed the resolution.
 | MT. Springer, dem, of Illinois, replied to MT. Bland and said that the only question before the house was whether or not 1t would vote to relieve the peo- pie of the payment of sixteen millions of unnecessary interest.
 MT. Kerr pop, of Nebraska, had read greeting to the members of the peo- ple's party" which said a conspiracy had been entered Into between the gold gamblers to fasten upon the people of the United States the burdens of per- petual debts; to destroy the greenbacks; to strike down silver money; to fasten upon the country the single gold stan dard, and to delegate to banks the con- trol over the issue of supplemental pa- per currency. The cooperation of all persons favoring free coinage of silver and who are opposed to bonds was in- voked to meet the issue of the present day. The greeting was signed by the fifteen populist members of the house.
 Mr Rem said that the English Ian guage was inadequate to properly con- demn the chief executive.
 Mr. Turner, dem., of Georgia, favored the resolution.
 MT Hatch, dem,, of Missouri, quoted from a letter by J. Proctor Knott de- nouncing the last insolent demand of the goldites that the government shall issue $500, 100000 in gold bonds, and re- tire the treasury note circulation with the proceeds" The letter asserts that whenever this government agrees to pay that amount or tithe of it in gold, silver is doomed. It seems the people are rapidly being driven to the alterna- tive of having the shackles of a rernorse- less plutocracy fastened to their wrists, or fight It declares that unless hault is called we may expect to see the hor TOTS of the French revolution put on the American stage, and that within the next decade.
 MT Cooper, dem, of Florida, said that when the writer of the letter just quoted saw it in cold print he would | wish that it had been kept private. He paid President Cleveland glowing eu- logy, saying he had a larger following in the country than either the republi- l can or democratic party and said he | had to make the contract complained l oe . MT. VanVoorhis, rep, of New York, | said the contract made by Secretary | Carlisle was wholly executory in it's | terms, beyond his power and void.
 MT. Payne, rep, of New York, and W. A. Stone, rep, of Pennsylvania, sup ported the resolution.
 Mr. Hepburn, rep, of Iowa, opposed | the resolution.
 MT Bryan, dem, of New York, said that when he took the oath of office it was with the mental reservation to 1enounce an outrage upon the people even by the president. fife declared that there was no great debt of grati- Jude which the democratic party owed 10 it's president"
 MT. Reed spoke next. His appear lnce had been looked for with eager ness, and when he rose an intense quiet ell upon the house. which was main aimed throughout. He said:
 ''Mr. Speaker-That doctrine of the lnion of the south and west has been preached before and'by prophets whose inspirations lasted longer than that of he gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. 3ryan) But it has been a failure. It Llways will be a failure. We not only end our property west, but we send our hildren there, and no man who crossed rom east to west can fail to be struck " the fact that there is a unity of sen- iment between the two sections of the , ountry that no language will ever lot out or destroy. Applause on the epublcan side) The southern and orthern democrats may not be able to we together. I am glad they are not ( ble to live together.
