MR. DALzELLs ARGUMENT.
| Mr. Dalzen Rep., PENN, also a member OF the
| WAYS and Means Committee made the closing
speech Of the day. lie asserted that the main
proposi;ion involved in this discussion had not been
considered. That proposition was whether this
House was ready to abandon its own legislation ana
accent the LEGISLATION of the Senate which was In
no way germane thereto. He warned the silver men
that their cause would not gain by any attempted
demands OF the Senate The free coinage Of silver as
a separate proposition was one thng, ana , as PR
scented by the revolutionary methods OF ne Sehai"
ii was another thing. one ounce of Rod, NJ saId,
would buy In the open market thirty ounces o.
silver The bold proposition presented by this sub,
stitute that sixteen ounces of silver were equa
10 an ounce Of gold 1t would seem that such
statement In an assemDlage Of Intelligent men
would carry It's refutation. lie denied that
silver was demonetized by the act Of 1873 The ms
