TH ABLISHED JUNE 19, BLAND WARNS DEMOCRATS Their Efforts to Demonetizs Silver Will Be Met with Desertions, SENSATIONAL PLEA FOR THE WHITE METAL Openlng of the Great Finunclal Debate on the Floor of tho Iouse—Propo- sitions from the Silver and Anti-Sitver Men, Wasnisatoy, Aug. 11.—"‘We do not in- tend that any political party shall survive that will lay the confiscating hand upon America in the interest of England and of Surope and demonetize silver in this coun- try, and, my friends of the eastern democ- racy, we bid you farewell when you do it.” These were the words of Richard P. Bland in the great financial contest that opened in ho house of representatives today, and the applause that followed the determined ultegances demonstrated that the great silver leader had with him a material element of the democratic party. It brought every member of the house to a realization that the most serious crisis in the demo- cratic party since the dissensions of slavery was at hand, and that the division of 1803, like the division of 1861, would be largely on sectional lines. r Unconditional Repenl. Tn accordance with the program last night agreed upon, Mr. Wilson, immediately after the meeting of the house, introduced a bill uncouditionally repealing the Sherman pur- chasing law, and Mr. Bland, on behalf of the free coinage men, followed with a resolution providing for the immediate consideration of the bill and allotting fourteen duys for generaldebate before o vote should be taken. The resolution was drawn to especially s cure the silver men in their demands for s arate votes on free coinage at the various ratios proposed, but is so explicit us to call for a finul voto on the repealing bill at the termination of debate, whether the silver amendments prevail ornot. Jhus, in the house at least, the fear of filibustering is allayed and both parties are arrayed 1w tne for a fair fight and vo favors. The speeches of the day were marked for their intensity of fecling and revealed a wide difference of opinion in party ranks Mr. Rayner of Maryland was frank enough to unqualifiedly declare for monometallisin under present conditions and presented the arguments of the repealing men in the strongest possible light. Mr. Bland electrified the house by b warning that the demoeratic party would know the silver men no more if it assisted in ama of the demonetization of sil- ver, aud Lafe Pence, the young silver repre- sentative from Colorado, made ome ot the strongest maiden speeches heard in the Lails of congress within the last decade—except- ing only the eloquent tariff oration that fame to Cougressman William J an of Nebraska a year ago. ries of the house were wel- crowded when immediately after the vead- ing of the journal Mr. Witson of West Vir- ginia offered for present consideration o bill to repeal a part of the act approved July 1. 1suu, (the Sherman act). Mr. Wilson's Bil ‘Tt provides that so much of the actap- proved July 14, 1890, as directs the secrotary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thercof as may be offered in each month at the market price thereof, mot excoeding &1 for 57l grains of pure silver, and toissue in payment fav such purchase, treasury notes of the United States, bo, and the same is hereby repealed. But this repeal shall not im- pair nor in any manner affect the legal tender quality of the standard silver dollars theretofore coined; and tho faith and credit of the Uuited States are hereby pledged to maintain the parity of the gold and silver coin of the United States at the present legal ratio, or such other ratio a8 may be cstablished by | “Then Mr. Bland arose and desired to offer a resolution looking to the order of pro- cedure. Mr. Cannon of Tllinois desired to ask a parlismentary question. He wanted to know how the il was to be considered. Was it to be referred toa standing commit- tee? Was it to bo considered 1 committeo of the whole, or was it to be considered in the house as in commit.ce of the whole? “The speaker replica that m the absence of rules it was for the houso to determine the method of its consideration. Rules Governing Debate. Mr. Bland then presented the following order: 1t is ordered by the house that house bill No. 1 shall be taken up for imme- diate consideration and considered for four- teen days. During such consideration night sessions may be held, for debate only, at the request of either side. The daily sessions to commence at 11 a. m. and continue to 5 p.m, Eleven daysof debate on the bill to be given to general debates under the rules of the last houso regulating general debate, tho time to be equally dividea betw two sides as the speaker may specif. last three days of debate may be devoted to the consideration of the bili ‘and the amend- ments, as here'n proviced, under the usual five-minute rule of the house, as in commit- tee of tho wholo house. General leave to priut is hercvy granted.” The resolution further provides that a s shall be taken, fivst, on an amendment ding for the coinage of silver ut the sent ratio. 1f that fails, then a separate yoto to be had on a similar amendment, pro- posing in succession ratios of from 17 101 to 20 to 1. If the above amendments fail, it sball ba in order to offer an ndment re- viving the aet of Februury 28, 1878, restoring the standard stlver dollar, of what is com- monly known as the Bland-Allison The voto then to bo tuken ou the engrossment and thivd reading of the bill, as smended, or on the bill itself, if all awendments shull have been voted dewn, and on the final pas suge of the bill swithout another intervening motion Mr. Henderson of Towa inquired as to the meaning of the order 8o faras it referred to the division of time betwoen the two sides. “The speaker said the right of recognition rested with the chair, and ho would recog- nize gentlemen on both sides of tho ques- tion. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio sugzested that thera were more than twa sides to the que: tion, Jeriy Simpion Has a Say. Mr. Simpson of Kansas said thut in some manner there appeared to be 8o many side to that question that the republicans were not able to distinguish themselyes from the democrats any more. It was right that the | populist party should have an allotment of time, and ho sug, 1 the members of that party be given three hours. Mr. Henderson of lowa gave notice that the republicans were going to control their full share of the time. There were not Roing 1o e sides, both controlled by the democrats.

Mr. Bland said he had no objection to de- bate after the previous question was ordored, Mr. Bland and_Mr. Cannon entercd into a controversy, which was o animated, and, withal, so unintelligible, that both gentle: men wore called to order by the speaker. Mr. Bland again demanded the previous question Mr. Cannon had some difficulty in securing the veas and nays but did at last, and the previous question was ordered—Yeas, 217; nays, 100, Bland's Shiver 1L, Mr. Bland then pressnted tho following bill for the silver men, which pro ‘des for free coinage and r tho silver a1 ing law Be It Enneted, ote., That from and after the passage of this L all holdersof silver bullion 1o the wmountof #100 or more, standard w and fineness, shall bo entitied to b same coined at the mints of the United 1uto silver dollurs of the welght and fineness provided for In sectl of this act . 2—That the silver dollar provided for in thisact shall consistof 4124 grains of ssandard silver, sald dollar to be a legal tender for all debts, dues and demands, both public and private, Soc, 8-The holder of the silver dollars here- In provided fo ntitled to deposiv tho me and r cortificates, in the manner provided by law, for the standard sil- ver dollar, S actof July 14, 1800 wonthly purchase of 4,500,000 v bullion, bo, and the swme is hereby repealod Spoke in Tmpansioned Tones. Mr. Rayner, democrat, of Maryland was the first speaior, and he was an ml]!.lsqhmml one. He was, he caid, in_favor of the un- qualified repenl of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill without any condition ov proviso whatsoever, He was not in favor of purchasing another ounce of silver, or the coinage of it_at the present ratio, or any other ratio. Ho desived to say that he had no hostility whatever to the use of silver on a proper basi a circulating medium, but after earncst consideration he was convineed beyond all doubt and question that its recognition as a circulating medium without international agreement was a finan- cial undertaki impossible of ac- complishment, ri in and disuster. In his opinton the present ratio was unjust and arbitra 1t lay not in the power of this government to purchase the silver product of the mines, to impress upon it a fictitious value and, by legislative de cree, compel the people 'to tako it at a pri in uiter disproportion to the price which it coummanded in_every commercial conter of Lo department was he silver miners finance, built up by political ks and maneuvers, must_be swept from atate books. [2very dollarof the na- tion's comn mst be a dollar everywhere and in_every coamonwealth, He wanted that law repealed because it stood without an example or parallel. The law had brought about distress and suffering and busiucss stagnation, which called m the loudest tones forits repeal. Ho wanted it repealed be- cause it protected the owners of mines to the ruin of the farmer and disaster of the people. Let not the Unitea States stamp a lic on its coin 1n order to gratify the g or avarice of uny section of the country. Would Stand by the Platform, Mr. Brown, democrat, ofrIndiana, who fol- lowed Mr. Rayner, expressed timself in favor of tho free coipage of silver, but in view of the havoe to busiuess brought about the Shermau luw, and in view of the ons of the democratic platform at 20, hie would vote for the repeal of the Sherman law in any event, conditions or no conditions. He would not assume that the bresident was opposed to the coinagze of silver money. He knew no onc but the president himself who was ready to ex- press the opinion of the president on this subject. If he ventured an- opinion at all as w what the president’s opinions were, it would be that the president was in favor of the coinage of both gold and silver, without discrimination against cither metal, and that the president would redeem every pledge and promse he made in accepting the democratic uomination. Mr. Bland's Specch, Mr. Bland, democrat, of Missouri, the great silver advocate, was then recognized by the speaker. He' expressed his regret that a number of gentlemen had changzod their opinion on the silver question. The gentleman who had just taken his seat had been regarded as one of the most avdent and able advocates of bimetallism. He had 1 treated from a part of the Chicago platform from that pars, of all othe at had con- tributed to give him aseat in the house. He had turned his face toward the cast and his back toward the west. I'ne Sher man bill was the only law on the statute books that looked to the use of silver us a money of the country. He knew at the time ‘of its pussuge that the element that wis striving to secure its p > was th clement opposed to free coinuge. He knew at the time that that element would demand its repeal at the first moment it 1w its op- portunity. The repeal of the She had been a part of the Chicago pl Anothior part. hud been o declaration for the use of both gold and silver as the money of the country. Speaking for the people he rep- resented, ho understood that the free coin- age of silver, in accordance of the platform, ossurily repealed the Sherman law, The ws could not exist together. They were inconsistent, Mr. Bland then reviewed recent silver and financial legislation and contended it was an apprehension that the United States would repeal the Sherman law that induced the British government to recommend » to the government of India the suspension of silver coiniige. Why was there being rushed in now, he asked, a proposition to repeat the only law which sustained, for the woment at least, the valug of silvert What Feanco Had Done. Mr, Bland appeated to members to stand by bimetallism and not to obey sthe com- mands of the shylocks. Frauce, he went on to say, had afforded a medium of exchungo for ull the world during seventy years at a ratio of Jf silver to 1 of gold. At that ratio France had been able to maintain the vity of tho two metals all over the world, “That was a proof that the government of the United Sta could do so at u ratioof 16 to 1. 1f Burope refused to accept that patio the effect would bo to divert from Europe all the trade of ¢ silver producing country in the world, nzland, he asked, withstand this withdrawal of trade?

May Serve Out Thelr Terms, Several republican postmasters ot the presi- dential class in Nebraska have written here to know the policy of this administration relative to permitting incumbents serving out their commissions. ‘e BEr cor spondent learns by inquity at the Postoftice department that it is the policy of the ad- ministration to let presidential postmasters crve out the four years for which they were appointed if they attend faithfully to their dutics and are not offensive to their patrons. [t is not advisale for republican postmasters to attempt to secure democratic endorsement for retention. Ivis far better to increase their efficiency as postmasters. May Got the Suppiy Depot. Senator Manderson intends to make an_ef- fort to secure the establishment of a branch Indian supply depot at Omaha, He has been working at this thing for s and believes that, with proper co-operation from the citi- zens of Omaha and the Nebraskans in con- aress and Secretary Morton, he can succeed, “The senator said to e Bee man today that he would like the citizens of Omaha, through the Board of ‘Trade, the city council and other organizations to assist in the move: ment as much as possible. Ho would like a good, strong and full presentation to be made by Omahans, showing the natural and other advantages of a supply depot at Omaha in the way of railroad facilities, products, supplies, . which are distri uted.

The commissioner of nternal rev nue has given Collector North permission to exercise his discretion about the forcible cetion for a period of thirty days, which will give the company time to turn around and muke a settlement. The total amount uaed represents penalty imposed upon the company for having usea machinery not capabte of producing 80 per cent of spirits from tho grain consumed. * It scems that it was not really the fault of the company, but the commissioner says the law leaves the department no discretion, being mandatory.

As the presi- dent alighted it was toticed that his step was not as _elustic ag'when he came from Buzzard’s Bay last week. His oyes looked heavy. The presidenf immediutely went to his cabin, Dr. Bryant was asked: “Is it not strange, doctor, that the president should leave the seat of government while congress is en- gaged with legislation of so vitally an im- portant character?” He replied that he was not prepared to criticise the nresident, “Perhaps domestic events required his presence?” was suggested. “1t would be unprofessional on my part to speal of that matter,” was the reply.

But they have got inte a wrangle amoug themselves, and this is a more powerful lever to forco rates down than public opinion. The following telegram sent today by Chairman Calawell of the Westera Passenger association to General Passengor Agent Fraucis of the B. & M. explains the trouble. *“Tlie Rock Island has made a request on the chairman for authority to in the state of Nebraska and other territory in which distribution has been made of an- vertisements hercinafter quoted on the Dasis of a half rate or ono standard regulax fave for the round trip to Chicago and ro- turn, as against the inequality in which that company has been placed by the large poster advertisement of the Burlington route, readin, s follows: ‘Burlington route.

Apply to ncarest ticket agent, Burlington route, for full iformation.
