Allen w. Thurman, of Ohio, offered
Mr. st. Johns amendment to the fnan-
cial plank providing for the issuance of
0Ofra fncs tn, 90
MONEY STRINGENCY
in exchange for United States bonds
Mr.. Thurman said that some such plan
was needed as a scarcity of money al
ways created a scramble for 1t and
business men and others only wanted
money badly when they could not get
1t. Mr.. Humans amendment led to
an animated debate which was very
generally participated In by the mem
berS of the committee. Several Of
them opposed the amendment on the
ground that it was not policy or wise
to make any suggestion Of the posi-
bility of the free coinage of silver caus-
ing a panic. Others in support of Mr.
Thurman declared that they believed
that the banks would not hesitate to
precipitate a panic in case of the adop-
ton of free coinage, in order to regain
l1AO POWC1 WLiCl IIiCJ iIdu
wrested from the people. Senator
George asked how such a plan as Mr.
1Johnson's could be put in operation
and the panic prevented. In reply to
this it was suggested that panics were
due to the want of confidence and that
they could be prevented by taking
away this want Of confidence The
previous question was ordered on Mr.
Thurmans amendment and it was re-
jected.
A motion to strike out the income
tax provision was promptly disposed
OF by being laid upon the table on
motion of Senator Tillman. The plank
condemning the refunding of the Pa
citic railroad bill was accepted with
out debate. as was also the paragraph
in regard to pensions which takes the
position among other things against
the. dropping Of the names of pension
ers, except under perfectly justifable
circumstances.
