yidinp if for any reason silver coin shall
not be at parity with gold coin, the bonds
now payable in coin shall BIO paid in stan
dard gold coin, whenever demanded. He
said that the resolution could not be
passed without full discussion.
The morning hour having expired, the
House bond bill, with the free coinage
substitute came up as unfinished bust
ness. Teller addressed the Senate In
favor Of the substitute. He commented
upon the fact that no system of finance
had been offered hy the four gold standard
senators on the finance committee,
platt membcr of the finance commit
tee, said that he would suggest the pay
mcnt of customs duties iii gold.
Teller said that the plan would destroy
the parity of the metals and it Indicated
that Il place on the finance committee did
not necessarily imply knowledge OF
finance. There was no reason Teller de
clarcd. for the present financial troubles,
but wicked financial policy, adhered to,
