sas alias ule idee al He Makes a Speech Which Causes Much Excitment. At the @lose of the Speech There Were Cries of “Vote.” Washington, D. C, Aug. 16.—The financial discussion in the House took on a dee; ‘interest to ythan on any occasion since the opening William J. Bryan, the eloquent youug Congress day of silver debate. 1 and mad a coinage speech which, in the opinion of many, sur | passed the great tariff speech which | gave his nau to fame two years | ago. For nearly three hours he held attention of the | House, and every interruption to | which he was subjected only the interested gave | opportunities for those brilliant re | partees for which he is so famous. The silver discussion today was | opened by Mr. Call of Massachusetts, who made an elaborate argument for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act and denied that such action could be justly constru- ed as an attack on bimetallism. Mr. Coombs, speaking for repeal highly commended the President's message, which, in his opinion, had never been surpassed. The Presi- dent might have said ia conclusion: “It is a condition and not 2 that confronts us.” theory In opening his argument against | the unconditional repeal of the Sher- man law Mr. Bryan said: “Upon the action of this Congress may de pend vot only the welfare of the South and West; not only the wel- fare of the United States, but that of humanity itself. Some outside of of this hall have assumed that the recommendation of the imposed ob ligations on members to do as he de sired, and some had even been hardy {miners intere | He pr man from Nebraska added greater | j derta We be | f the right existed pre right of self government lieve that the restoration of free ci nage as it vious to 1873 would raise price of silver bi ounce throughout the v uon for not giye b free coin demontization t money j ner profits | an un- r profits by th county in bury 2g a pauper at pub-| he expen -it makes a market for! his goods. | Then Mr. Bryan spoke in favor of | the retention ratio of 16 to 1) arguing ar of that | 1 to an inter-| ratio | would be detrimen national agreement as to the coin-| age of the two metals, and continu ed: “The question was not whether the President was honest or not. | It was whether he was right. [Ap-| plause.} The President had won} the confidence of the people, but he had been deceived. He said in his message the people demanded the He had} heard from the boards of trade and} from the chambers of commerce,but he had not heard from nor the men in the workshops; and he could no more judge of the opin- ion of the people than he repeal of the Sherman act. the farmers could measure the ocean. of silver call the battle on and nev! leave until the people's money is re- stored.” In conclusion Mr. said: Bryan BETWEEN TWO FORCES tween two On ein- terest of the United States, the mon- ey interests, conflicting for the one side stauds the corpc imperious, arrogant, enough to suggest a failure to do as he said will be dissenter to adminis- trative displeasure. But those per- sons do the President great injustice The President will not forget the in- justice. The President will not for get the independence of Congress. Letthe President's own language rebuke those who would from false fealty change their convicticns upon the subject in order to conform to his suggestions. QUOTES CLEVELAND'S WORDS. “In the message of 1885 to Con gress, at the beginning of the first session, there will be found these words: ‘A zealous watchfulness of our constituents, great and small, supplement their suffrages and be fore the: tribunals they establish every public servant should be judg- ed.’ Tlie victory of Charles Martel at Tours in 732 rescued Christian civilization and determined the course of history for centuries. The eompassionless. They are able to subscribe magnificently to campaign funds. They are able to crush with their all pervading influence avy who dare to oppose. These demand the party shall become the cute their merciless decrees. On the other unnumbered throng, those who have given the old Democratic party a Work worn dust-begrimmed, they make their mute and too often find their cry for help beat in vain against the outer walls, while others less deserving gain access to halls. This and growing throng pleads with the par ty to be its champion in this con- tliet. It can not press its claims amid sounds of revelry; it can not march its phalanxes in grand parade. No gaudy banners float upon the breeze. Its battle hymn is ‘Home, Sweet Home’ Its war ery, ‘Equali- ty before the law. Between these sent to exe- side stand an name, and appeal, legislative vast effects of our action may be as far reaching. If the United States, the great silver-producing country, abandons silver, it will, in all proba- bility, lead to the annihilation of sil- ver as a standard money throughout the world. The only law making any provision for the increased use of silver money is the Sherman law. The President has recommended its unconditional repeal. The Demo- cratic members are under no obliga- tion to adopt recommendations, since they are responsible to their constit uents and are in duty bound to protect their rights. We are being dragged toward a universal gold standard, intoa realm cver whose door is written the words, ‘Abandon hope all you who enter here.” “There is no such thing as an hor- est doliar, because an honest dollar would always have the same pur- chasing power, and the government has never tried to secure absolute stability in the dollar. The most dishonest dollar ever proposed is that child of ignorance, the gold dollar, for it would rise in value and cheat the debtor. While we can not secure au absolutely honest dollar, we should approach it as near as possible and the bimetallic ought to be adopted because with bimetallism the money unit fluctuates less than forces, hesitating in doubt which side to turu, yet conscious that up- on its decision must rest its fate, stands the Democratic party, and to it, standing thus, comes the words of Israel's second law giver, ‘Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.” “It is said Napoleon ordered a re- treat at the battle of Marengo, but the drummer boy replied he did not know any retreat and begged he might be allowed to beat a charge. A charge was order and Marengo added to the victories of the man of destiny. The President was elected on the platform thrice pledged to the gold and silver coinage of the constitution. Nine-tenths of the people are ready to sustain him in the fight, but he has ordered a re treat. Let him not be dismayed. There is time yet to win tke battle if he will but ordera charge. Will the party stand by the principles of Jefferson and Jackson, or will it abandon its right toits name? Will it choose life or death—which?” [Tremendous applause. ] Atthe conclusion of the speech there were loud cries of “Wote,” and the Nebraska orator was surrounded by his colleagues, congratulating him. THE CRY MOST GRATIFYING. Mr. Henderson said the most grat- ifying thing that could reach the under a single standard. Interna- tional bimetallism is desirable, but not necessary and not profitable. The other European nations wait upon England’s interests lie in the direction of a gold standard. To make our action dependent upon hers, allows her to legislate for our people and is an abdication of the people were the cries of “Vote, vote.” The people expected early action. He would be glad to vote at once.

Looks Like F . Washington, D. C., Aug. 17.—It was announced in a semi-authentic way to-night that the appointment ed States revenue collector at Kan- sas City had been agreed upon. Fink is backed by both Vest and Cockrell, and Clint Tillery of Liber- ty by Docker. Burnes has also urg- ed Tillery’s appointment. Tillery’s friends do not give up the fight. Fink's appointment had been con- sidered settled some time ago, but protests were filed against him by some of his neighbors stating that he was dictatorial axd would be in office too haughty for even a govern- ment employe. This. soit is claim- ed, delayed matters somewhat, and the President's disinclination to ling with the Sherman act did the | rest.
