authorizing the further expenditure of

propriated in the last sundry civil bin
was used by Mr.. Dearmond (dem,

attack upon Chairman Cannon whose

offices to the minis Mr.. Bell (pop.,
| COLI argued that if the government of
J the United States declined to pay the
cost of transportation gold would go
| to foreign minis. 1t was, he said, an
| other blow aimed at the western miner.
! Mr.. Cannon pointed out that II the
| law was continued it would make the
mint price for gold the same as that
at the assay office In the Klondike and
then the government would be COM
PEELED to pay the cost and assume all
the risks incident to transporting it
| to the San Francisco or Philadelphia
mint The law was a bounty on gold
mining Why should 1t exist? Mr..
Sayers (dem., Tex supported the pro-
| posed change in the government pol
icy. There was no more reason, he
said. why the government should give
a bounty to gold miners than to COT
ton or wheat growers Mr.. Livingston

tion in any way affected the financial
issue. He favored 1t. Mr. Bells mo-
tion to strike out the proviso was de-
feated. 125 to ITO. Mr.. Dearmond
