The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-15

Mr. Turner met a volley of questions
toward the close of his speech. He de-
clared that if the law authorizing the
secretary to sell gold were repealed that
moment the parity would fail and the
country would go
TO A SILVER BASIS.
The Gresham law, a law congress did
not make and could not repeal, was al
ready operating. The money in daily Cir
culation was silver and silver certificates.
He concluded with the statement that the
poor man in whose interest the reStord-
ton OF silver was invoked, was most in
tereSted in preserving a sound financial
system. France had tried free coinage.
1t failed and she abandoned it We had
been trying to expose the lessons of ex-
perience. Agitation of the silver sqeSuon
should cease. Perhaps when credit and
enterprise had gone down in the wreck,
the people would conclude that it was
better to follow the paths Of experience
and honestly seek to maintain the credit
and honor of the country. Mr.. Turner
spoke two hours. He received a demon
stratton when he closed.
Mr.. Dalzeu (Rep. Penna-) also a mem
Der OF the ways and means committee
brought the house back to the question
whether 1t should Subjugate its duty and
judgment to the senate; WI ther the
house should abandon its bill Id accept
that Of the senate MIR. Dalzell
ANALYzED THE CONVENTIONS
OF the silver men. 1t was agreed tndL the
commercial relations between gold and
silver is SO to l. Silver men contended
that the opening Of the minis to silver
would make that metal appreciate in
value, until the commercial value be
brought to the legal value. But this was
| mere assertion and dogmatism. Mr.. Dali
zell said there was conclusive proof in
the past experience of Europe that silver
would not appreciate as a result of open
ing the minis to silver coinage. He de-
| voted some time to replying to the argu-
ment of the silver men that the fall of
prices since 1873 had been coincident with
the fall of silver which latter fall was
/ due to invention, competition, the reduc-
ton In the cost of transportation, etc.
Methods had been revolutioniZed since
/ 1873. What the country wanted was not
! free silver, but more revenue through the
| custom houses more blazing furnaces,
| more factories and mills, more and
/ cheaper transportation, wider fields for
/ labor and an enlarged home market,
more consumption to stimulate production,
Increased wages, to decrease the hours of
labor; these are the things we want and
will have"
THE VOTE.

! marks Mr.. Dtngley demanded the previous
