=: DinaIey BAL.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 1.-Senator
Frank Cannon arrived this morning. He
is the first of the silver Republican. Sena-
tors who voted against the Dlngley bill
last session. TO arrive. Speakins of the
proposition to pass the Dingley bill at
|. this session, he said be did not think. an
effort 10 pass it would be made.
The objections to that measure have
been aceentuated and msgni6ed. 1t was
seen at the last session that it was not a
good bill. This is even more apparent
now. Some OF the interests that favored
it before are now opposed to it. Conspic-
nously the wool-growers are opposing It.
IF an attempt is made to pass the bill the
suspicion will be strengthened that it was
designedto be the fnality of tariff legisla-
ton for the present.
st, in effect is general tariff bill and
number of interests would be content to
stop with 1t, as they are amply provided
for. II smother bill were designed to fol-
low, this act would have no more than
six months to RIM and business won i'd
have no time to adjust itself to one set
of new conditions before another would be
forced upon them"
"How about the proposition for COM
mission to work on an international agree
ment on silver p was asked.
81 will repeat what some of the folks on
the other side have said: An International
agree ment is but an iridescent dream.
1t has been said by some of the anti-silver
people that agitation of the free-coinage
question delays international agreement
That is mere assertion. We have facts
and history for it that every effort toward
International agreement has been an in
jury to silver. No movement of that.sort
is in the interest of silver"
Senator Cannon said that he regarded
Senator Dubois reelection as assured.

Englahi - Davis of Kansas Quotes
Good Authority.

Mr.. Davis, of Kansas-The president
rightly said that the inexorable laws
of finance and trade" can not be defied
with impunity. So, having copied the
financial policy of England, is it
strange that we must suffer the same
penalties? In 1865 the people of the
United States emerged from the great
est war of modern times. They had
been successful. They had saved the
best government or eartA. Money was
plenty, times were good, the national
debt was not large. and, as individuals.
we were out of debt and prosperous"
We felt as did the British people after
their great victory at Waterloo, and
the Punishment of Napoleon. The
British system of contraction, inaugu-
rated here in 1865. began to tell on the
clearing house transactions in 1870. In
1873, the same policy struck down sill
yer. This was at once followed by
disastrous panic. distressing the entire
country, as had never before been wit
messed. According to Senator Logan,
1t was money famine" and it has
continued ever since with only tenn
porary attachments.
| have now shown the similarity of
the British and American financial
policies instituted for the same gene
raj purpose, under similar conditions
Ours was and is a substantial copy Of
