 Mr. Clark (Eep.) of Iowa, spoke on tlBs Loud bill increasing the rates on second class mail matter. and Mir. Greene fpop3 of Nebraska made some observations on the much mooted subject of returning prosperity.
 McKinlcy's Picture Torn Down
 He read a dispatch from Wheeling. w. Va, giving an account of the alleged tear- ing down of McKinley's picture by work ingmen.
 Gentlemen might cry prosperity, pros- perity," said he, 'but there was no pros perity."
 And others howl calamity calamity" !" cried Mir. Perkins (rep) of Iowa, amid shouts of laughter from the republi- cans
 MT. Olmstead (rop) of Pennsylvania in reply to MT. Greene produced clippings from newspapers in all parts of the country showing a great revival of business and trade
 MT Olmstead said the continued agita- tfon of the silver question was the only thing that retarded the full measure of prosperity that would naturally flow from the Dingley law. The threat contained in this Teller esolution had driven $4o,0O0, GOO to investment in foreign securities.

 Mr. Ogden, (dem.) of Louisiana-"Are you Chinaman or an American?"
 Mr. DeArmond, (dem) of Missouri, de- nounced the action of the house on the Teller bond resolution. The whole pur- pose of the republican party in the defeat of that resolution, he declared, was to commit the country irretrievably to the gold standard. It had at last thrown off all subterfuges and shams and now had the shameless effrontery to boldly proclaim the consideration of a bill unanimously re- at but never before had the hardihood to avow.
 Couldn't Stand Prosperity
 Mr. Low (rep.) of New York, said it was no strange marvel that the democrats were bowling down the evidences of rosperity which confronted them on all sides. When a dpOn tUa hf,o1t tpbf far tr. h prosperity he shook like an aspen leaf.
 MT. Perkins Tep.) of Iowa, said that in the matter of wheat and wool the high prices prevailing had been charged to blind chance. It was said the republican party was the party of good luck If that was true it follows there must be a party of bad luck For himself he preferred to af- fil5ate himself with the party which was identified, present amt future, with pros perity and happiness of the people.
 With only one amendment, the committee rose and the bill was passed. MT. Ding.ey asked unanimous consent for the considerati tion of bill unanimously re- ported by the committee on ways and means, limiting the time in which the out- standing refundng certificates of deposit of 1879 can be refunded into bonds of 1907 to December S1, 1S99 About $40,000,0o0 of these certificates were issued in further ance of the redemption act.
