MR. MoRRrLL's ADDRESS.
The Senate session opened at IL
o'clock with a speech by the venerable
senator from Vermont, Mr.. Morrill,,
who said the House had promptly re.
sponded to the Presidents message
and had supplemented it with an
emergency tariff revcnu bill. The free
silver substitute for the bond bill, he
said, may not be the first time when
bread had been asked for that "A stone
has been presented, but IL is the first
time that n committee of the SEN
ate seems to have perpetratcd n prac-
teal joke, almost good enough for
the clown of Barnum's menageric.
The senator thought that a deficient
national income should not be less
swiftly rcmedicd than excess, saving:
The present administration how.
ever, exhibits "a bashful dihidence
about acknowledging any deficiency
of revcnuc derived from IA tariff be
reaycd of its parents in early infancy,
but with their hands behind them they
may quietly take whatever money Con
gress may place in their hands for the
treasury, where the outflow of gold
has been so swift as to make ever
the heads of the keepers dizzy"
referring to the assertion that
France maintains silver at par with
gold, he said; ''Becausc there is nc
clustering silver party ana no silver
plated Democratic party they are
6aily striving to pull down their money
standard To that of deprecated silver,
they keep silver to the amount of
S3s6, 900, 600, with ST., 900, 900 OF gold
on the ratio of l3h to !. The United
States has been the friend and patron
of silver To its own hurt. If our late
investments of nearly $500. 900, 900 in

results will appear as a drop in tn,
bucket when compared with wha'
must flow from the cnormity of tn,
present proposal, to open all ON
mints to the free coinage of silver o
all the world.
rANs his RESPECTS TO II sIIvERIrEs
Some whispered threats have float
ed IN the air that the extreme silver
men, now fraternizing here and Il
home with the Republican party
would band themselves together OF
denominant idea and, with aux
iliary Democratic aid, hitch onto III,
tail OF some great Republican measur,
at the first opportunity some tinklins
silver amendment, hoping to secur,
thereby "a silver triumph Of q hybri,
combination, although the grand oil,
Republican party might perish. Blu
there is little fear of these eruptiy,
threats; for, il carried out, the riot ac
might be read ut home TO the offenders
upon whom public opinion would no
fail 10 place its brand, and wha,eye
party might survive, not all OF tn
