RADIO, that l am a bime;allist on a gol,

SAID Hill, such men are not for bimetal
Isin at all they are for silver and silve
only"
Hill turned to the attacks being made
on the president. 1t was not for hin
(hlll) to express approval of the contrac
with the foreign bankers. But the presi
dent had not been free to act as he de
sired. He had been bound hand and foot
by the present law. This democratic con.
gress had refused to help him.
Gray-"Do you mean TO say this senate
Is at present democratic?"
| NO." said Hill, 1--WE no longer have a
majority, but while we had it we put of
action and procrastinated until the power
passed out of our hands. The senator
from Colorado cannot arraign this admin
istration because it has contracted with
the Rothschilds. In this emergency
where will you look for vast sums of
money? Will you get it from the miners
of Colorado?"
Nolcott quickly responded: mo. not
from the miners of Colorado, as they have
been ruined by the legislation Of the sena-
tor from New York. But there were
plenty of Americans ready TO take the
bonds had they tho chance"
HUI declared the only way to secure
such vast sum as So, 00O. 900 was in going
TO the money kings of the world The re-
publican administrations had appealed to
the Rothschilds. so it was useless to raise
party cry against tho administrator
course in going TO foreign bankers.
At this point Hill took slip of paper
from his table. ~ have here an an

ment is possible for bmctallism. This
resolution announcing the policy of this
country for bimetallism would be the an
swer OF tho United States to the action Of
Germany"
Teller referred TO Hills resolution and
SAID 1t was the most remarkable paper he
had ever seen. He would try not to go
OUTSIDE OF parliamentary Language in
speaking of it. This interest of tho sem
ator from New York for silver by Offering
a resolution for gold, showed his regard
for bimetallism.
a prearranged effort had been made to
put the country on a gold basis, SO il could
not get away from it. The senator from
New York had taken part in that effort.
lie declared this effort had been in the
direction of putting gold to a premium.
There had virtually been a conspiracy to
this purpose, and with this accomplished
the plan would be TO require payment
alone In that money. Indeed, as n matter
OF fact. gold was even now
at premium for il had appre-
ciated when every thing else had
deprecated. or course the silver dollar
would deprecIate with this discrimination
against it. He denounced as cant the as
sertion of interest in maintaining the
parity and paying in "the best dollar" |
The best dollar which they want is" he |
asserted, "the dollar which il will take |
the most sweat blood TO get" Referring |
TO Hlfs profes sion of bimetallism, Teller |
said Hill would be welcomed to the ranks |
when he should show himself to |
be honestly IN favor of bi- |
nctallism, but, he added. IF this |
resolution contains his sentiments, he |
will be no assistance to us or to the world. |
Hill Is noted for his courage, but it takes
! higher degree of courage than he has
shown in anything else TO stand ont in de-
lance OF "A transaction which puts our Sc
