There were two hours of short speeches, fn which no new argument was ad- duced. The House was uot willing to awalt the report of the Bliver Commission, which was announced by one of its members as likely to be ready in the middle of Janusry. Willard, of Michigan, of the Commission, stated that, in s opinion, the report of the Commission would warrant the restoration of tho silver dollar as & standard, as it was established by the report of Alexander Hamilton, THE INVESTIGATIONS OF THRE COMMISSION, L said, show that the silver dollar lins a greater supremacy in commerce than any other coln; that it wns evenof greater apprecfative value than the sovercign of England or the francof France, and {s used by more millions of people. e sald that nearly all politieal economists called before the Commission hiad agreed that, 1t sllver was thrown out of the world’s colnage, the tendeucy would be to depreciate the value of gold. ol THR OFPOBITION, The bill was opposed by the radical hard- money men, who favor & slngle gold standard, Kasson made the strongest argument against the bill. He fusisted that it simply created an additional indeflnite legal-tender of Nuctuating yalue, and was chiefly in tho interests of thu bullioniste. The opposition was futile. The allver dollar evidently had gajned fricnds fn the interim pf Congress.” The bill passed by a very large yote.
