the Senators were in their seats, the only
notable absentees being Senators Sher-

Senate on SO short an occupancy of his
seat. He had heard lot about senator
ial customs and senatorial courtesy and
other shams which were used as a sort of
wet blanket on new Senators, but he
cared nothing about these ancient tradi-
tons. He was there as the representa-

to say, and he was going to say it in his
own way, and would not be intimitated5
either by the German stare or the Tam

United States are all part and parcel Of
Il damnable scheme Of robbery, which
had for its object the. utter destruction
of silver as a money metal the increase
of the public debt; the issue Of bonds
payable in gold, and the surrender to
corporations Of the power to issue all pa
per money and give them a monopoly of
that function.

shall ever be written, it will disclose the
fact, which can not be proven now, but
of which have not the slightest doubt.
