HOUSE BOND BILL.
Senator ]. X. Jones Opens the Debate
on the Senate Substitute.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
The galleries were crowded and
every seat in the chamber was filled
today when Senator James X. Jones
opened the debate on the finance
committees substitute for the house
bond bill.
Ex-Speaker Crisp and other prom
inent congressman were close
listener.
Senator Jones was in firm voice,
and begun his speech by declaring
his belief that the embarrassments
of the treasury, of which complaints
are being made, could only be eff
fectually met by such legislation as
would revive business and improve
the condition of the masses. He de-
clared that falling prices had been
the curse of this country and of
Europe for twenty years, and that
the inadequate volume of gold was
the direct cause. He demonstrated
that any fall in the price of silver
bullion of necessity produced fall
in general prices. He quoted lib
orally from English statesmen and
papers to show the selfshness of
England in opposing an internatlon-
al agreement. Some of the quota
tions were startling. He stated that
with bimetalism the United States
would be able to extend her foreign
trade greatly and with large profit.
He secuted the alleged danger of
silver basis and said the United
States could alone maintain bime-
talism, France having done so, and
this country possesses advantages
and resources largely superior to
France. He declared that during
the whole of his public life he had
been an unceasing advocate of sill
yer, and had always believed that
the only means of restoring pros
perity was to repeal the act of '73,
from which he believed that present
conditions of distress had sprung.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks
Senator Jones was generally con-
graduated by his fellow senators
and the congressman present.
