honor, credit and dignity of the nation
Mr.. Cullom, Qll.), announced briefly

Mr.. Butler, North Carollna), adVo
| Gated the resolution, saying that instead

was alleged, he said, that the national
honor was at stake but was not honor
due the taxpayer as we'll as the bond
holder.
Mr.. Rawlins, Utah). said the question
was simply one of paying bonds in ac,
cordance with the legal obligation, or
in the so-called ''best money" of far
greater value than the money with which
the bonds were bought.
Mr.. Aldrich said it had not needed the
declaration of Mr.. Vest to disclose that
this issue was the opening of the cam
paign of 1898. II was the opening OF
ii contest between those who favored 4
cheaper money and those who believed
the United States was bound at every
hazard to maintain the parity of every
dollar ever issued by the government. Al
time when the Republican party was
seeking to strengthen the currency of the
country, this miserable measure was
brought forward.
I'VE intend to meet this issue square
ly" declared Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr.. Aldrich declared that the resolu-
ton was an absurdity in that it was a
concurrent resolution" in which the
House would not concur" hence It
would be imperative, even as an express
