Mr.. Berry was quickly on his feet as

Mr.. Boering OF Ken lucky denied that
the election Of Taylor In Kentucky was
due to fraud and said the strongest refu.
tation Of this charge was the fact that
the election was held under the Goebsl
law, framed by the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas, said
A REMARKABLE SPECTACLE
was presented BY the debate on this bill.
He recalled that when In the oath Con-
gress Mr.. Towne asserted that the Repub-
lioan party had never declared for gold
standard, the Congressional Record
showed that:he:was interrupted by many
Republicans with this exclamation:
"And 1t never will"
Mr.. Bailey said the Republican side
was 90 basy studying the trend Of events
that It had no time to study the science
Of money. While the hist section Of this
bill purported to establish the gold stan
dard. the law of 1873 fixed the gold dollar
a. the unit Of value. This bill WAS there
fore simply Q re-enactment put forward
to make people believe something new
and wise was being done.
When Mr.. Bailey referred to the in
creased production Of gold, Mr.. Daizeil
asked II In view of this increased sup
ply Of gold Mr.. Bailey still believed In
silver IS to /. The Texan responded en-
phatically in the affirmative, amid Demo-
cratic applause. The Democratic side
asked simply sufficienoy Of basic money
and II this was supplied BY either gold or
silver, then instead of refuting the Demo
cratic position, 1t simply confirmed 1t.
Mr.. Bailey declared that the logical out
come Of this bill W ould be to take the
MILLIONS OF SILVER
impounded In the treasury into the open
market and sell 1t as Germany had done.
II the supporters of the measure were
honest and consistent. they would thus
offer the silver for sale now as that
would be the Inevitable fate Of silver un-
der this bill.
Mr.. Bailey closed his speech with .
stirring tributs to the time-honored and
undying Democratic organization which
evoked applause from the Democratic
side.
Immediately following Mr.. Bailey came
the statement OF Mr. Scudder, Democrat Of
New York, .'as a Democrat, I favor the
single gold standard and will vote for
this bill"
While not oonouring In all the features
Of the bill, Mr.. Soudder said the main
features establishing gold standard and
giving stability to values commanded
his support.
