WASHINGTON, April 9-The Senate
Chaplain, DR.. Milburn, referred in his
opening prayer to the illness Of the
Senior Senators from Indiana and AL
ALBANIA, VOORHEES, and Morgan.
Gallinger, read letter from the
General Secretary of the Armenia Re-
lief Association, referring to the ex
ttemA urgency of the situation III
Turkey, asking that steps be taken to
stop the most appalling sacrifice Of
the history OF the world. Gallinger
added that while he would lot sug
. Rest ways and means to the Foreign
Relations Committee, yet he sincerely
hoped some method wonl1 be devised
to check the Turkish atrocities.
Mantle, of Montana, was recognized
for speech on resolution recon
hitting the tariff bill to the Financial
Committee. 1t was his maiden speech
OF formal character. He said he
hesitated rs Il young and new member
of the Senate to address that body,
but Interpretation and misrepresen
tation entertained against the Repub
Gcans of the west moved him. He
spoke of the ignorance of the Presi-
dent Cleveland before the Missionary
gathering as derogatory to the west
as but one of the assaults made OF
late against the rotten boroughs and
mining camps of the west, as the met
ropolitan press designated the Silver
States.
Mantle declared that within radi-
us of tive miles from Carnegie Hall,
New York, where Cleveland spoke,
there was more poverty, ignorance,
squalor, starvation. crime and Grimm
ais, than in all the silver States COIN
bined. He gave statistics comparing
the silver States with five eastern
States, showing the latter to be breast
and head over the latter in material
and moral standing.
Mantle said the attacks sprang
mainly from the fact that five Repub-
lican Senators from the west voted
against proceeding with the tariff bill
at an opportune time.
The Mckinley law was, said the
Senator, strictly high protective
measure, so high that Il Republican
Senate doubted its cXpediency and
would, if the Republican party was
fully restored to power, oppose it's re-
enactment. But the Dingley bill was
not II measure designed for protection
or revenue. 1t was political meas
urc, framed without due considera-
ton of the western States. "There
are some Republicans" exclaimed
Mantle, willing to sacrifice the prin.
ciples of the Republican party so
long rs the means afford protection to
certain interests"

ing or rising in proportion to gold, thus expressing the market price of silver as measured by the standard of gold.
 The claim of the silver men is that silver is logically entitled to serve as 8 universal medium, on basis of 16 parts of silver to one of gold.
 Today silver sells at 30 to one, or 70 cents an ounce, while gold sells for about $20 an ounce.
 Another claim of the silver advocates is that the adoption of the proposed ratio would not affect the size of the sil- yer dollar, fUr the reason that with the return of silver to its proper parity with gold, silver would be worth considera- ply more than it is now.
 Admitting, however, that this parity would not be obtained. it is interesting to consider what might be expected as to the size of the silver dollar at differ ent ratios.
