recent action Of Japan In attempting to
depreciate silver would hasten inter-
national action to restore the equality
Of the two metals, and made the follow
ing statement giving his reasons for
this belief: 1.-The monetary situation in
Japan is not only interesting but most
far-reaching, and perhaps not generally
understood. The result which Japan
seeks is to make permanent the depre-
citation of silver in relation to gold. and
to preserve thereby the advantages
which this depreciation naturally gives
to japanese agriculture and japanese
industries, and it is not In any sense an
attempt to equalize values. There was
time in the history of the United
Statse when we might have taken a
step identical with that OF aJpan now
proposes.
IF during the years Of civil war. when
our money was worth but 80 per cent.
of the gold dollar, we had by law de-
.lared that henceforth our dollar should
be of the value of SO cents only in gold
our legislation would have been parallel
with that which Japan evidently in
tends. We chose to follow a different
path. The action Of Japan accords in
q measure with that Of Austria a few
years since, and with the action pro-
lncted in Russia, with this difference:
Austria forced ~ permanent eeprecia-
ton of its money, measured in gold, to
the extent of some 16 per cent: Russia
will establish a reduction Of about 80 per
cent. in the value of its rouble.
Japan proposes to permanently de-
preciate its exchange, relative to gold,
SO as to lower the value of the yen to
about 4S cents on the dollar. The action
of Japan must not be construed as an
attempt to establish and maintain q
gold Standard; it is simply an attempt
to preserve the economic advantages
which she at present enjoys because Of
the gold premium which exists in ia
pan. and this at the expense of the great
commercial countries Of the world
which have heretofore maintained the
stability Of their coinage as well as
their financial integrity.
OF course. at the present price of sill
yer, measured by gold, the result Of the
action Of Japan would be to drive all
silver out Of that country. 1t is prema-
ture, however, to attempt, to forecast
the full effect Of her action in this re-
spect. The course Of Japan must, in
| my opinion, only serve to hasten some
agreement between the leading COM
mercial nations of the world looking to
| settlement of this question upon an
| international basis"

Makes . Fight Against . Reduction fol-
Iron Ore Miners.

Cleveland. March 26.-It is announced
here that John D. Rockefeller's repre-
sentative at the recent meeting of the
Bessemer Iron association made a fight
against the reduction of the wages of
ore miners. 1t was stated after the
meeting had adjourned without reach
ing an agreement that the wages Of the
men in the Rockefeller mines would not
be cut, no matter what others did.
Rockefellers representative at the
meeting was F. T. Gates, Of New York.
When the question Of wages was un-
der discussion. it is said, Gates declared
that wages ought not to be reduced.
1.-The wages at the Rockefeller mines
will not be reduced" he said, land IL the
other producers think they can improve
conditions by reducing wages they arc
mistaken. That would be beginning a!
the wrong end. If anything WAGES
ought to be increased"

Steele of Indiana believed in pro-
lection. he said, but he had no SYM
pathy for those in the south or any
other section who did not believe in
protecting themselves. While discuss
ing the reduction of the duty on cattle
in the present law, Simpson asked if
it was not a fact that the price of
cattle had increased since the reduction
Of the duty.
1T is not fact" replied Steele.
Il insist that it is" persisted Simp-
son. What are known as 'stockers'
are one-third higher than they were
three or four years ago."
DeArmond charged that the real pur-
pose of the Republicans was to pile up
a surplus in the treasury which could
be used to lock up the greenbacks and
treasury notes and thus so contract the
currency that the people in desperation

one of their schemes for the aggrandize-
ment of the national banks.

Washington, March 26.-The senate
held q half hour open session early in
the day yesterday and then after two
hours in executive session on the arbi-
tration treaty resumed the open session
in order to go on with the bankruptcy
bill. The latter measure was read at
length and Nelson of Minnesota offered
substitute differing in a number of
particulars from the committee bill. The
debate has not yet opened.
Amended credentials were presented
in behalf of John M. Henderson, ap-
pointed by the governor of Florida to
the seat vacated by Call. 1t brought
out a statement from Hoar, acting
chairman Of the committee on privileges
and elections, that action on the pend
ing election cases was delayed by the
uncertainty as to committee organiza-
ton in the senate. The revised creden-

Stewart said the general feeling was
that the senate was capricious in it's ac-

Washington, March 26. - The four
days general debate in the house on
the Dingley tariff bill closed last night.
Beginning today the bill will be open
for amendment under the five minute
rule until next Wednesday, when the
vote will be taken. Bailey Of Texas,
the opposition leader who was to close
the general debate for his side, was
unable to make his speech owing to a
severe sore throat, and a mutual ar
rangement was made for an hours de-
bate on side just before the final vote
Is taken. The speech-making yester-
day was not Of a very lively order, but
the crowds in the galleries continued.
Probably the liveliest speech of the day
was by Simpson of Kansas. He read
from McKinley's speech at the Min
neapolis convention the declaration that

ment. he said. was ridiculous. The
last congress, he proceeded to say, had
increased appropriations $50, 900, 900, and

increased to pay for the extravaganza.
The foreigner should be glad, he said,

If the taxes on the foreigners could
be sufficiently increased, he observed.
sarcastically, the surplus could be dis
tributed among our people, and every

farmer. who farmed the farms, not the
farmers. If the Republicans had de-
sired to do something practical for the
farmers, why, he asked, had they left
hides on the free list? Simpson an
nounced himself free trader.
Dalzell made a warm speech in de-
Tense of the bill and an attack on the

marked by idle men and women, busy
soup-houses and starvation" He de-
Tended the pending bill against charges
that it fostered trusts, and said free

ON THE CONSTITUTION.

Senator Pettigrew wants the pee
pie by their vote to settle two
questions. One is the flee coinage
of silver, the other is the election OF
president, vice president and senat.
ors by a direct vote of the people.
The first is a question which will
soon be decided by popular vote, for
the congress to be elected next year
will be elected upon that issue, and
its complexion will measure the
popular opinion upon the money
question.
The second is a question of con
stitutional amendment, which car
only be decided by the means pro
posed in the constitution. Thi,
code of rules requires two thirds o.
both houses to favor the amendment
or proposed amendment, which shall
be valid after its ratification by thu
Legislatures of three fourths of the
states. Senator Pettigrew's course
of submitting the question of elect
ing senators, ETC., to a vote of thu
people will not amend the constitu
ton, even should a majority of tn
people vote for such amendment.
