DISTRICT LABORERS AND THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. Mr. Blair offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for information as to the employment and payment of laborers on public works in the District and whether they are re- quired to work more than eight hours a day. MR. TELLER ON THE SILVER BILL. The Senate then, at 12:40, resumed consid- eration of the silver bill; and Mr. ‘Teller con- tinued his argument in criticiam of it. There were two features of the bill which should be amended, he said, if the bill was to per form the two things which — ite friends proposed to accomplish by it— that was to raise the price of silver and to give to the country an increased circulation. It was absolutely essential, in the first place, that the Treasury notes provided for in the should have the highest possible money function. If one of the principal j duties of money (the discharge of indebted- ness) was denied it. its depreciation aud the suspension of silver purchases under the bill would be invited. He did not deny that the Passage of the law WOULD PUT THE PRICE OF SILVER UP. Its very introduction had had that effect. Why? Because it was appgrent to the people abroad that if the United States gov- ernment consumed the entire silver pro- duct of the country (one-third of the world’s product) there would be a demand for silver that could not be met. It might put the price up to par, He did not know exactly what par would be. He supposed that $1.29 per ounce would be called par in the United States. It would be less in Great Britain and less in Eu- rope. If it put the price one-eighth of oue per cent above par the purchase of the government under the bill would cease, and the great interests arrayed against silver would obtain their ends. This was uo vain supposition, no imagination on the part of people who wanted to have silver used a8 coin, It was borne out by the facts. There was a party, not in the United States alone, but all over the world that held the credits of the world, that took toll from all quarters, that levied tribute on all enterprises and that was ARRAYED AGAINST SILVER AS MONEY. For seventeen years that party had held the whole civilized world, It had its seat in Eu- rope, but it had its influence here. It had added one-third to the national debt of the United States by legislation, and bad added an equal ‘amount to the state, municipal and individual debts. Those people had enriched themselves at the expense of tue many. Colossal fortunes had been bui:t upin the United States and Europe within seventeen years which had no parallel in the history of the world — fortunes equal in extent to those brought back to Rome by the conquerors who invaded Asia. And did anybody believe that these people were not ready to surrender their van- tage and to adopt a financial system that would relieve the tax-ridden debtors of this couutry and the world and put them back on the plane where they were 1 1873? ‘The energies of those people were beyond calculation, Their avarice was only equalled by their energy. They couid put silver at and above par when they wauted to, and if they could, thereby destroy silver as a money ua a metal: and then they would come back and say: “We told you that silver would not do for money. We ‘told you that it was not 4 suitable money metal, and that y have to go to the only’ suitable money— gold.” Was it « delusion (he asked) to suppose that that would be done? He suspected that those people would do anything within the Tange of legislative enactmeut or of com- mercial transactions to accomplish their pur- pose: and any bill that contained a provision which would allow such a state of affairs was not a perfect bill. EFFECT OF FREE COINAGE. Mr. Butler invited Mr, Teller to give his idea of the effect of free coinage of silver in inter- national monetary arrangements, Mr. Teller said that he would do so, Every- body hed to admit (he said) that the Proposed bill” (whether it were the scheme of the Secretary of the Treasury to ile up bullion in the — ‘Treasury Department and to pay it ont on the demand of note-holders, or the amendment reported by the finance committee) was 2 temporary affair. Notone member of the finance committee would claim that it was a permanent thing. They said that it was temporary; that they were waiting to see what the current of events was going to be, and they said to the friends of silver ‘coinage: “You ought to accept this bill. It is not, it is true, a full restoration of silver to its money functiog, but it isahalf-way house at which you can stop for a while and, when you have gotten strength, go on.” A HALF-WAY SCHEME, The bill, he said, wasa half-way scheme. It afforded no relief whatever, except in making aspecial market for silver in excess of the present government demand of two millions month. If it was proposed to re- store silver it would have to be given its full money function. ‘There ‘were his home, in company with Senator Voorhees, 4s stopping at the Riggs, where he will remain several days, IF MR. CARLISLE GETS IT. Who Will Succeed Him on House Com- mittees if He is Elected Senator. The friends of Mr Carlisie ate in constant communication with him and his lieutenants at Frankfort and they are very confident that the ex-Speaker will get the Senatorship. Private. advices today were very encouraging. They assume it as a certainty that he will win. If Mr. Carlisle leaves the House it will in- volve some important committee changés, Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky went off the ways and means committee at the beginning of this Congress to make room for Mr. Carlisle. Nat- urally he might be expected to go back to the ways and means when Carlisle retires, but he is now on the appropriations committee and would probably prefer to remain there, es- pecially as the work of the wavs and means is about done, He would succeed Mr, Carlisle on rules and remain on the priations committee. oe of West Virginia or Bynum of probably take Mr. Mgmnt! ganas for Tl eg Speaker's choice, but he is now on the judiciary \d three smaller committees, including manu- br eethesig while Bypum is on manafoerarea at least, nine men in the world calling for silver as against one man calling for gold. There were not more than 125,000,000 of people that preferred, in their trade, gold to silver, while ‘there were | over 1,000,000,000 of people among whom by preference and by law silver was the chief money. Silver was better adapted to the use of money than gold. While he was him- self a bi-metlallist, if there was to be only one money standard he would welcome a silver basis in the interest of the race and of the people of this country. And the sooner it was reached the betier—the better for Ameri- can industry, the better for commerce, the better for trade, the better for everything. THE DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER IN 1873, Mr. Hoar inquired whether, even without the demonetization of silver in 1873, its price would not have fallen, Mr. Teller replied that, when silver was demonetized, a silver dollar was worth, intrinsically, a dollar and ree cents and a There was noth: at that time to indicate that silver was going to fall, There had been an increased tin the world, reaching to #81,000,000; but there been no in the lic prints of world that TWO CENTS. the mints of the United States would have been open immediately to the coinage silver, and every silver owner could ba i i taken his silver to the mint and have bad it| converted into legal tender money, against which thpre was then, at least, no prejudice anywhere.

The repab- liean party had elected its government by a minority of the people. It was to the vast body of the American peopie that the majority of the House was declaring that it meant to suspend the operati mittee of the whole on the most important question to which it was applicable. A PROTEST AGAINST THE RESOLUTION. Before the bill had been considered at all the fiat had gone forth that four days would be rmitted for general debate and eight da: bec debate under the five-minute rule. The very announcement had repressed debate. Gentle- men on the democratic side had felt that it was idle to prepare for the tested against the resolution as un-Ame: é unwise and violent to parliamentary pro- cedure. [Applause.} MR. M'KINLEY DENIED that the resointion had any purpose to stifle debate. It had no such purpose. It was intended to concentrate debate on the para- graphs and provisions of the bill, Any gentleman who had hstened to the discussion for. the past three days must have been convinced that everything was discussed but the real question to be de- termined, The resolution was not to deny to the minority freedom of debate, but to deny to it the right to delay public business by dilatory motions and obstructive tactics. The House had been given thirty-five hours of general debate and fifteen hours under the five-minute deLate and it was to be given five days more the gentleman from Georgia remember that in the Forty-fourtk Congress but one day he been given to the consideraiton of the ta bili?
