mentioned.
Both the House and Senate Demo
Gratis placed jute bagging and cotton
ties on the free list Both placed wire
fencing on the free list. Both placed
agricultural implements on the free
list, and what has been known as the
farmers free list, so much discussed
two years ago, when passed by the
House and rejected by the Senate, is
now contained in the tariff bill which
passed the House and which has been
approved by the Democratic caucus of
the Senate without a dissenting vote.
And what I wish to say to you today
Is we have the votes in the Senate
TO pass the bill"
The Currency Bill.
On the currency biIf Senator Smith
said he was opposed to substituting
three per cent. bonds for the two per
cents. now used as a basis for the ma
tional bank currency, but favored pa..
ing of the bonds with treasury notes.
He said:
I'VE have now $685., 10000 Of gold
coin deposited in the treasury, and
gold certificates issued for it. These
gold certificates circulate as money all
over the United States. We have $780,
900, 900 reserve gold held against $685.
600, 900 of what is commonly called
greenbacks. We have $103, 100000 of
unapplied gold In the treasury. Our
gold coin in the treasury amounts to
1927 100000.
I'VE could easily substitute treasury
notes for the gold certificates and for
the greenbacks. If we then further
more substituted treasury notes for the
national bank notes, we could place
the $750,000,000 of bonds now bear
ing interest against the government
in the treasury to be used if neces-
sary to increase our supply of gold,
making really reserve amounting in
gold to 81 ,237, 10000 and, in bonds, to
$75O000,000 against an issue of treas
ury notes amounting to $2,084 900, 600.
THE most cautious would concede
that this condition would be safe and
| vastly prefer such a course to the
issue of bonds bearing 3 per cent. in
terest, or even to the continuation of
the outstanding per cent. bonds.
mo currency system would be COM
plete that did not take into considera-
ton the Importance of farm credits.
Thorough study is now being given to
this subject, and l believe in the near
future action will be had by which
rates of interest charged to farmers
may be reduced and increased facil-
tiles given for farm loans.
Without discussing further in detail
what has been taking place during the
past two years in Washington, l wish
to say that if every day had forty
eight hours and there was nothing to
do but to work, every hour would
furnish there an opportunity to serve
you"
In closing, the senator paid high
tribute to President Wilson, and sew
eral times during the speech he spoke
Of the good work of Senator Bacon.

HOME RULE BILL PASSES.
Msasurs Thru House Of cor,mens Nov
n, Hands Of Lords.

IN Hands Of Lords.
London. Jan. 17.-Amid scenes OF
fervid Joy by the Irish Nationalists.
which were shared by the other mem-
bers of the government coalition. the
home rule bill passed its third read
ing and the final stage in the house OF
commons by majority of 10 and was
sent Immediately to the house of lords.
1t was the, climax Of debate which
lasted for fifty-two days. Every pos
sible vote had been whipped In and
the house was crowded.
The lords will undoubtedly rejecd the
bill.
Under the parliament act it will
come back to the house of commons.
and IL passed on two successive occa-
sions by that body will become a law
with the royal assent without the con-
currence Of the house of lords. This
process may occupy between one and
two years.
A. Bonar Law. leader Of the opposi-
ton, and Augustine Birrell. chief Sec
retary for Ireland, were the principals
in the final encounter.
The unionist leader, while admitting
that he had nothing new to say, re-
no rebellion would be better justified
than one by Ulster against the new
Irish parliament.
He declared he knew Ulster would
rebel, and it was bound to succeed be-
cause the Ulstermen were. ready to
give their lives for the cause. II q
hundred men were shot on the streets
Of Belfast thousand more would be
ready to take their places. and the re-
sponsibility of the shooting would be
on the government.
Chief Secretary Birrell criticised A.
Bonar Law for attempting to belittle
and almost denying the existence OF
the nationalist movement, which tor
years has been the soul of Ireland. He
did not deny that the Ulstermen dis
liked the proposed idea of an Irish
parliament.
He even admitted that il the union
ist fear of oppression were verified
that the Ulstermen would be justified
in offering resistance, but, he asked.
how could the present mode of govern
ment continue indefinitely.
Nobody except Englishmen, he de-
clared. would tolerate the present
ridiculous state Of things. The chief
secretary appealed to the opposition
to help the government in solving this
tremendous problem.
In characteristic speech during the
course Of the debate, John Redmond,
the Irish leader, dwelt feelingly on the
years of defeat and discouragemen.
thru which Irishmen had passed in
their efforts to secure home rule. and
now their day Of victory had arrived
