Mr.. Smith On. j. followed MI CaHery
He said the adoption of the resolulloI
was either misunderstood or the DEBATE
had taken such wide range as TO SUD
merge the question. He saw no neces
sity for the resolution
Mr.. Smith announced his intention O.
voting for the resolution on the grouh'
that it was not new deciaratloh- II
doing this he would not. however. sur
render his individual views on the FREE
! coinage of silver
! ON this latter subject he had his views
which were that ii would be difficult TO
/ this country alone to maintain free coin
/ age at the present ratio. He expressed
the opinion that the free silver advocate
were honest citizens and that the govern
ment would be safe in their hands l
placed there by the vote of the country
Mr. Cockrell supported the resolution
He discussed the question at some length
taking up and defining various f1nancla
enactnents since 1870 to show that Unit
ed States bonds were practically declar
| ed to be payable in silver. He did no
think there could be any question ina
the bonds of the United States should b
paid in standard silver at the option o
the government. lie thought that as goi
and standard silver dollars were standar
money and not redeemable there woul
be as much sense in talking Of maintain
ing the parity, Of gold with silver as c
silver with gold.

silver dollars in payment for the obhgs
tions Won hold That would settle tn
question very quickly.
