Another Issue To Overshad'
oW 1t In The 1900
Campaign,
CONTROL OF CURRENCY
Statement Of Col. Thomas B.
Love, The Texas Represen-
tative Of The De-
mocracy.

"President McKinley's message ha:
been the specific cause of the raising
of another issue in the campaign. He
has given prominence to the only is sue
which can and will ovecsh Adow the
free silver Question:
This statement was made last night
at the Pierson by Col. Thomas B.
Love, of Dallas, who, as the authorized
agent for Texas of the ways and means
Committee of tha democratic national
committee. has full charge of the
preliminary campaign work snd of the
cam paign funds in the state, aud who
therefore speaks as one having author
ity.
AS repres e ntative of ths natl onal
committee, he voices the political SEN
time nts of those men who will have in
charge the democratic campaign OF
1900. His statement shows that free
silver as an issue will have minor
1900.
1.-THE matter in question" continued
Col. Love, sis the presidents eviden
intention to farm out the CONTROL of the
circuls ting medium of this country to
national banks of the government and
the people.
This is going to be the great fnan-
cial issue of the coming campaign to
which even the free eilver doct rine will
be subordinate. The democrats will
simply attempt to keep the control OF
the circulating medium of the count try
in thu hands of the people,
"Then, Col. Love, you think the
national bank question will be the
paramount issue of the .0ming cam
paign?"
"The paramount financial issue only,
supersedjng the free silver question.
Two other prominent questions will
over shadow this one. We
will fight the trusts. That
will be democracy strongest plank.
And we are also going to make a big
fight against expansion. These are
the two issues of greatest impo rtauce.
After them comes this important
question of the control of the circula.
ting medium, and it will be the real
financial issue of the campaign"
Col. Love is the guest while here OF

OVERSTRRET OPENSTHE
Great Debate And 'Recounts
The History Of Previous
Legislation On The
Sub ject.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-There was
q sparse attend ance in the galleries oil
the house when the speakers gavel
fell at noon. The number of me mbers
ON the floor was. however, large, in
anticipation of the opening OF the
weeks debate on the currency bill.
Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, was made chair
man to preside over the house during
the debate.
Mr.. Overstrees, of Indiana, took the
floor to make the opening speech on
the bill. After declaring that the
gold standard had been recognized in
this country for more than half cen
tury he pointed out the necessity of
having law on the statute books de-
fnitely announcing the gold dollar
to be our standard of value rather
than to leave it to the die
cretion of any man, whether
president or not, to change the stand
ard. He recounted the history OF pre-
vious legislation on the subject and said
the purpose of the present bill was to
dispel all lingering doubt that the
money of the United is as good as that
of any nation of the world.
Mr.. Maddox, of Georgia, followed.
He protested against the haste with
which this bill was being pressed
through under gag law and inquired
whether it was due to ex-Speaker
Reeds suggestion, after the Ohio
election, that if therepublicans desired
to1write s'gold" into the statutes
they had better go about it right away.
The bill would, Maddox said, be more
injurious to the people of this country
then any measure presented to oon-
gress in half century. It was
demanded by " all street, but the peo-
pie were not consulted. Under its
provisions in five years every dollar in
silver would be coufscsted and practi-
cslly sent to junkshop.
IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Bills were
introduced in the senate today author
izing the president to appoint commits
sion ers to visit China and Japan and
INQUIRE into the commercial and in
dustrial conditions of those empires.
After the introduction of hundreds
of bills, petitions and resolutions, Mr..
Mason spoke on the resolution of
sympathy with the Beers.

The AttitudeO President Me-
KinIey On Trusts Also
Had Its Effect On
IndustriaIs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The stock
excited and liquidation was enormous
Sharp losses in some of the leading
stocks at the opening were precipitat
ed by news of a British defeat by the
Beers yesterday and this was taken
advantage of by bears to hammer
rything in sight.
Feeling that President McKinley's
u.terances in regard to trusts would
probably be productive of some legis-
tion in congress affecting the present
stat tus of such combinations also had
it's effects, chiefly on industrial.
After first heavy drop in prices there
were a few sharp rallsss, but sfew OF
these stocks returned to their opening
prices.
The heaviest declines were in Amer
icau Sugar and Tennessee coal and
iron which dropped respectively from
1884, aud 1O4 on Saturday to 1873 and
1901.
American Tobacco and Colorado fuel
were also down from to Z points,
while members of other stocks. chiefly
industrials. showed considerable de-
clines.
