100000 81 silver in the world according
to the ieport Of the Director OF the
Mint. over $2, roo, 100000 had been
coined by the countries of the world

actment could sustain value, why had
the commercial price, tn view Of these
facts, gone down steadily?
Mr. Iurnct was enumeratinn some
of the great names abroad that stood
for the gold standard when MIR Terry
(Dem., Ark.), interrupted him. The
German Reichstag has declared for

been candid enough 10 state that the
German Rcichstag declared fss bi-

Proceeding he announced 1t as his
opinion that debtor nation should
pay its debts i'm the best money Of the
world in order to maintain high
standard Of credit. Moreover, not an
individual would profit by paying his
debts in deprecated currency. In
the ethics Of nations see could not af-
ford 10 take advantage Of a technical
error and pay our creditors in a cheap
money. Instead of paying one dollar
for two he would rather pay two for
one; but this was not required. Like
honest men we must only pay dollar
for dollar. (Applause.)

the House took a recess until s p. IN.
A very exciting row was only pre-
vented at the night session Of the
House, which was devoted to the con-
sideration of private pension bills, by
the good temper shown by Mr.. Tai
bert, Of South Carolina, whose utter
ances ut the night session two weeks
ago caused Mr.. Barrett, of Massachu-

MIR Ialbert was evidently suffering
under great excitement while this at
tack was being made and an outbreak
was expected, but he restrained him
