Mr.. Lindsay concluded his speech bv
saying that he would vote in Accord
ance with his statements. He main
tained that the question presented was
one simply of law and not in any sense
q morals. He held that il conditions
should so change as to work hardships
to the government creditors. that was
misfortune, but not violation of the
public faith
Mr. Caffery of Louisiana delivered an
extended speech in opposition to the
resolution. If this resolution means
what is attributed to it, he said. 1T is
clearly violation of public morality.
Il ! nave any proper conception of what
public morality is.
The men behind this resolution" de-
clafed Mr.. Gaffery yehement1y, ARE
not playing. not expending all this wind
Tor nothing. I believe they hope to
ofing about free coinage through ex-

country.
Mr.. Cockrell supported the resolu-
ton. He discussed the question at
some length. taking up and defining
various financial enactments since 1870
to show that United States bonds were
practically declared to be payable in
silver. He did not think there could
be any question that the bonds of the
nited States should be paid in stand
ara silver at the option of the govern
ment. He thought that as gold and
standard silver dollars were standard
money and not redeemable. there would
ne as much sense in talking of MAIN
tanning the parity of gold with silver
as OF silver with gold. No nation OF
the world has ever yielded the option
oI paying It's obligations in it's stand

of the resolution were working
n the interests of the bankers OF the
World.
'eh. that we had Andrew Jackson in

That we might say to these bankers.

tandard silver dollars on payment for
he obligations you hold That would
