that the Republicans should report the
tariff bill from the committee as il came
from the House. passed the cauouS, tins
afternoon, aft+r an hour and u half of de.
BATE without division and by practically
IL unanimous votc Tho chief point in tn"
discussion was the probable attitude OF
tie silver Republic ms. Many of them
were out-pokcu IN the desire to have the
tariff bin PASS and declared it would be
Uu"i Sc to place the free coinage rider
thereon, especially In view of the fact that
suah Il bill was now before the Senate and
would DC passed before &C ion was had on
the tariff bill.
Teller OF Colorado made q vigorous
spec ch and said utat for one, he proposed
to assist in plaing the free coinage amend
ment on every tariff bill until such
mea sure became law. He would not
OIL ly vote toput 1t on this bill, but declared
it his intention to endeavor to assist in
having such an amcndmt mt placed on the
tariff bill in the Congress If the Repcbl-
cans controlled both branches Of the lcgis-
lative department. and executive. This
statement embarrassed the Republicans
greatly.
Teller did not say he would offer such
an amendment, but stated positively that
if offered. ne would vote for it. The con
| scrvalive silver men will not join Teller
IN the vote, and the volts Of the sound
money men on the other side of the
chamber are counted upon to defeat such
a proposition.
