| said that he believed in the use Of both
! metals 10 as great an extent as was pos
| sible and at the same time maintain
| their parity.
Mr.. Sherman discussed the meaning
| of bimetalhsm. In this country today
| the laboring man received dollar equal
| to gold worth 100 cents. But with free
| silver dollar the Iaboring man would
| be cheated of one-half Of his dollar. The
/ people were beginning 10 understand
! this. They We're beginning 10 learn
I that free silver coinage meant cheating
( the creditors out of one-haf their dues.
/ The maintaining of both metals as
money should be such that each would
( be equal 10 the other. That would be
| true bimetallism. But the adoption OF
! free silver meant silver monometalism,
with half-depreciated silver coin. Mr..
| Sherman said that every state east OF
! the Missouri river was now in favor OF
| bimetallism. This had come about
| slowly, for the free silver idea at one
| time held Strong influence IN the west
and in his own state. The senator said
| that he believed that even Colorado
would soon refuse TO urge a depreciat-
| ed dollar and would follow the course Of
| other states for true binetallism- Mex
| ico sad /, gun to show the revulsion OF
J feeling against deprecated money.
SAME OLD SPEECH
| Mr.. Teller was on his feet as Mr..
! Sherman closed.
THE senator from Ohio cannot di-
vert me-" said Mr.. Teller, "by his old
| silver speech, the same one he has been
| delivering for twenty years; the same
| one have heard 50 often before"
| Mr.. Teller declared that the defini-
tons of bimetallism by Mr.. Sherman
were erroneous. Wer. aOn.rary 10 those
accepted at state and national conven-
| tons, contrary to the accepted under
! standing Of France and other foreign
! countries. The Republican party could
not be stultified, said Mr.. Teller, by the
deception and fraud and the "bunco
! game" of the single gold advocates.
| With imprisoned tones, and address
| ing himself TO Mr. Sherman, Mr.. Teller
repudiated the suggestion that the state
of Colorado would ever accept the dis
| honest Interpretation Of bimetallism
here presented, and if il did, added Mr..
| Teller he would cease 10 represent that
section in the United States senate.
THE senator CMr. Sherman) speaks
of the death of silver" exclaimed Mr..
Teller, but 1 warn him that he will
find it lively corpse TO rise up and
haunt him.
'sThe safety of the Republican party"
concluded Mr. Teller, lies in adherence
TO honest, sound money made up Of the
two metals, side by side, as from time
immemorial"
But if the Republican party" added
he. puts itself under the leadership of
the senator from Ohio (Sherman) il
VIII be party of the past and the
glory Of its past Will be obliterated by
that infamy"
CUBAN QUESTION.
At $50 o'clock the Cuban question,
which had been laid aside since .
O'Clock, secured the right Of way and
Mr.. White Oem., Cal) addressed the
senate.
While expressing his sympathy for
the Cubans in their struggle, he urged
the need of an orderly procedure. The
senator gave much attention TO the
legal phases involved in the recognition
of belligerency. He argued that it was
not for the senate TO presume that the
president would not recognize the bel
ligerency should circumstances war
rant.
Mr.. White had not concluded when
at o'clock the senate went into exc
cutive session and a few minutes after
ward adjourned until tomorrow.
The subcommittee on foreign affairs
this afternoon agreed on the text of the
Cuban resolution that will be submitted
TO the full committee tomorrow. The
terms of the resolution cannot be pro-
cured. It is 10 be very moderate in
tone but its expression of sympathy
for the insurgents is strong. The Dem
ocrats of the committee have not yet
shown their hands. Unless the resolu-
zion is acceptable TO the administration.
