TGE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY

''He has that right" said Mr.. FL
kins.
TO raise reyenue?" pursued Mr..
Butler.
when funds get into the Treasury"
was the reply, 1T can not be told
whether they come from revenue or
from bonds"
Mr.. Elllins said, in reply to questions
| by Mr.. Butler, that he did not believe
| in 1ndiscrimiuate attacks on the Presi-
dent. If you cannot trust our Presi-
| dent the government must come to an
end. If there was Populist President
| it would not be right to tie his hands
| against meeting a Treasury crisis.
| ION the 4th day of next March"
| interposed Mr. Butler, "when we inau-
| gurate a POpulist President (derisive
| laughter) we will have the free coinage
| of silver and the raids on the Treasury
will be brought to an end"
| "Will the Senator (Butler) please
| let me have the name of the Populst
| President?" (Laughter.)
| II am not a-naming. You will hear
| the name of the next President when
| the Papulist convention speaks"
Mr.. Elkins next asked how this Pop
ulist President was going TO accom-
| plish these extensive reforms with an
adverse Senate.
During a lulI in the debate Mr.. Stew
art offered an amendment to the cheese
bill proposing a duty on wool of 10
cents per pound, and Mr.. Mitchell
(Rep., Oregon) offered a further
amendment proposing a scale of duties
on wool of various grades.
Mr.. Gallinger (Rep., New Hamp-
shire) opposed the bill and spoke of
the need of tariff act adequate to
overcome yhe need of bonds.
Mr.. Daniel (Dem., Virginia. replied
to the statement of Mr.. Lindsay Dem.,
| Kentucky yesterday that Congress
had failed to respond to the demands
of the President for the relief of the
Treasury. Mr.. Daniel said the only re-
quest the President had made on Con-
gress was to authorize the issue of
gold bonds. 1t was impossible said
the Senator, that the responsibility
for existing conditions should be re-
moved from the administration and
placed on Congress. Mr. Daniel de-
claTed his allegiance to "sound money,
the soundest money in the world
gold and silver" and he arraigned
those who applied the title of sound
money to gold monometallism.
1t was an evil day for the Demo-
cratic party, he said, when Democratic
leaders joined hands with Republicans
on financial questions.
ALAS for the hour
when to Eveline's bower,
The Lord of the Manor
with false vows came"
The Senator spoke of the timidity
of leaders to declare themselves on the
financial questions and referred to
THE great protectionist of Ohio who
enyeloped himself IN the same old
platitudes."
Mr. Daniel said that while he was
in favor of an international agree
ment, yet he was not in favor of
waiting 10 put out the confagration
in our own country until Queen Vic
toria sends a hose company to help
US to do it,"
In vigorous language the Senator
asserted that independent action by
the United States ON the coinage of
silver would be as decisive on Great
Britain as has been the demand to
halt On the Venezuelan question.
Mr.. Daniel viii continue his remarks
tomorrow.
Mr.. Butler sought to have a time
fixed for a vote on the bond bill and a
parliamentary struggle was precipi-
tated. Mr.. Butler first suggested five
o'clock tomorrow as the time for the
vote but as Mr.. Hill thought the time
too short Mr.. Butler, changed the
time to Friday at 5 p. IL.
Mr.. Chandler blandly suggested that
he thought the best time for the vote
would be on the first Monday of next
December. He would agree to that,
but not to the Friday vote.
Mr.. Butler, then proposed a further
extension until Monday next at p. m,
but Mr.. Platt, (Rep., Comm, objected.
Thereupon Mr.. Butler, seeing the
chance of agreement was hopeless,
moved that at p. m. tonight the Sen
ate take a recess until 1855 to-mor-
row. Mr.. Chandler made the point of
no quorum and there was long delay
in assembling Senators. AS the vote
was about to be taken on the motion
for a recess Mr.. Hill secured the floor
and spoke against the effort to force a
| vote.
| Mr.. Stewart made a point of order
against Mr.. Hills speech and the
chair (Mr. Sewell presiding) sustained
the point.
The complication was terminated,
however, by an adjournment at 5:45.
VERMONT is FOR GOLD.
