- { - MADE THEIR NAIDEN AIDEN EFFORTS Two New Orators Developed in the House by the Eilver Question. VOICE FROM THE EAST FOR FREE COINAGE Tiepresentative Sibley of Pennsylvania Talks for the White Me peakers ive Their Views on the Sub- Jeet 1n the Sennte. WasnzGTON, Aug. 18.—~The voics of the east was heard in the house today in favor _of the free cownnge of silver. The speaker was Joseph Sibley, a new member from Pennsylvania, and the speech of the gentle- mun was the sensation of the aay. Ho is the only member from tne Keystone state who is opposed to placing the United States upon a single gold standard and who is a firm advocate of bimetallism. He is about 10, gifted with & good voice and a vast fund of witand a great tiow of language. He took his place among the orators, the logicians and the humorists of the house. On the other side of the question there ap- peared a new champion, Mr, Everett of Maussechusetts, He is a tine speaker and attracted the attention of his collengues. He, besides having a good delivery, has a keen apureciation of humor, and commanded an interested audience, ‘ Mr. Haines of New York and Mr. English of New Jersey spoke in favor of repealing the silver purchase clause and Jerry Simpson spoke aguinst it Opened by Sibley. Mr. Sibley, (demo.-pop.,) In favor of a bimetaliic standard. He favored the proposition of Mr. Johnson of Ohio, provid- ing that holders of United States bonds might deposit th securities with the government, receiving therefor treasury notes. The time had come, e said, when the clearing houses in the greatcities should 1o longer dominate and control the policy of the 6,700,000 workers in this lund. Mr. Sibley spoke for more thun two hours, and not fora moment aia he luck attention, and in his maiden specch he took front rank with the orators and humorists of the house. The aebate wus then suspended for the time being, in order to allow Mr. Catchings 10 report from the committee on rules a reso- lution authorizing the appointment of the various committees of the house. No addi- tional committecs ave provided for, but an cuse 18 made in some of them, s fol- The wembership of that on wiys and means, appropriations, judiciary, banking and currency, coinage, weights and meas- ures, interstateand foreign commerce, rivers and harbors and agriculture increased fron fifteen to seventeen, and that of foreign affairs, military and naval affairs, public lands, Indian aftairs, public buildings and grounds, Pacific railroads and District of Columbia, increased from thirteen to fiftexn. Mr. Reed did not believe this was necessary. Mr. Hooker desired to offer an amendumient increasing the membership of the comuwistec on rules, but Mr. Catchings demanded the previous question, and upon this Mr. Hooker made the remark that this was thesauic game played the other day when the speaker hod been authorized 1o appoint the committee on rules. The spenker retorted rather tartly that the committee on rules was not respousible for this action.eThe remedy, 1f vemedy were needed, was in the hands of the house. “The resolution was then adopted and the silver debate resumed. Amnzed Mr. Halnes. Mr. Haines took vhe floor. He was amazed at the attacks upon Wall street. They were pure demagogism; attacks on the financiul system of the country. Wall street was the siyings bank of the nation; it was to Wall strcet the various sections of the country sent their surplus, and from there that sur- plus waus distributed where capital was needed for the development of the country. It wus from Wull street the silver men of tho west procured the capital to open mines, and it was there that they procured man, millions of dollars to open up mines which they afterward forgot to open up. 1t was curious that if Wall stroet was responsible for the present punic, that panic should begin in the west. Mr. English, democrat, took the same ground. The Sherman law had been de- feated in the object which 1t had expected to attain and the law was an obstacle to an international agreement. But while he would vote for the repeal of the purchasing clause, he did not heay that the repeal would be a panacea for all our evils; that it would restore the confidence of the people. He had great respect for the opinion of the presi- dent. Ho tad read his message and he was satisfied the president was a bimetallist. He thought the president’s sagacity was suffi- cient to know that mere repeal would not re lieve the trouble. He thought the president would stand by the platform. Massnchusetts’ New O:ator, Mr. Everett, democrat, in an old-fashioned and courteons Puritan mannor, raised bis o in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law. Nothing in his diction or his gesture showed he was entering upon his maiden speech, His voice was clear, his ude was grace- ful and his djetion perfect, Not only, he suid, was this the first time he had addressed the house; it was the first time he had ‘spuken to any legislative ussombly. He was not the master of eloquence some were. Everything that he could say had been said, His specch bad already been made—better than ho could make it—by several men, notably by the gentleman from Flovida, M, Cooper. He was delighted thut the state of Fiorda and the Old Bay state came to- gether on this question, because it showed Joston nd St, Augustine wero suffering in the same way and saw the same method of retief. Congress hus come together o act and not to speak. The country, he said, the section he represented, has hoard this ques- tion discussed before. They had heard the argument of the bimetallists and free silver men, and bad now formed their opinions and now they called on congress to apply an im- mediate remedy. ‘The president had re- sponded to the nods of the people. He had come up nobly to the full mark of his duty and now. having done his duty, he left con- gress to settle the matter. 1t is hardly time,” continued Mr, E “to call names in this debate. Mr. Presi- dent, I beg paraon, Mr. Speaker—to be presi- dent hereafter— (applause] —on the question he ouly followed the instructions of s people. ow England’s Anti-Silver Men, “1f Mr, Sibley 18 correct,” continued Mr. Everett, “‘there are 63,000,000 who want free colnngo and 24,000 who want therepealof the Sherman law, but if that be true, I would like to know how it 18 New England has sent to the house unti-silver members from twenty districts ‘They had heard from Mr. Bland that every democratic member who would vote for the Wilson bill would lose his seat. Ou the con- trary he thought every democrat would be swept from his seat if he did not vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. The gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Harter, seemed to assume the attitude of an in- dependent. He did not claim to be either democrat, republican or populist. He (Mr., Lveret) claimed to be cqually independent. He had not been elected upon any platform except that of Clevelund. Applau But upon that platform he had sen elected. He had never quite mado up his mind why he had been elected. [Laugh- He was never more surprised than he ue heard of his eloction. [Laugh- ter.)

The respon- sibility to extinguish this fire rested with the democrats.

There were about 225 members present at 8 o'clock, Mr. Simpson, resuming his re- marks, denounced the gold standard and predicted it would produce a revolution that would shake the government.

Mr. Morgan, democrat, advocated the free coinage of silver. Mr. Talbot, democrat, appealed to the rep- resentatives of the people to lay aside all politics and act as one man for the betterment of the country. He appealed to them to give the people free coinage. He was ready to stand by the silver plank of the Chicago platform, us he was ready to stand by everv plank on which he was elected. The Sherman law was a makeshift, but it was a pill that would do good temporarily, but would not be of permauent benetit, At the conclusion of Mr. Talbot's remarks the house adjourned. IN THE SENATE. Allen of Nebraska Mukes His First Speech and Is Fuvorably Received. WasHINGTON, Aug. 18.—-The senate fol lowed the example of the house and has transferred the Hnancial contest from com- mittees to the floor of the senate. The finance committee reported today the meas- ure agreed upon last night, which is framed on the Hill bill and which repeals the Sher- man law, but pledges the government to the policy of bimetallism. At the same time the minority of the committee presented a report recommending a substitute bill pro- viding for free comnage of silver at the ratio of 20 1o 1. 1t is impossibie to predict whon the scnate will begin the discussion of these measures. Neither side appears to be in any hurry to force the question, as each side is evidently uncertain of its numerical strength. The only significant development was the array- ing of Senator Voorhees on the side of the unconditionul repeal men, but the Indianian explains his position by saying that he thinks uaconditional repeal of the Sherm act will 1elieve the financial stringency and that the battle for bimetuilism can be fought out hereafter—in which contest he will be found ou the side of bimetallism. Allen Mukes a Good Impresion. I'ne day was given to some debate over the bill to ncrease the issue of national bank notes to the par_valuo of the bonds on deposit. Allen of Nebraska, populist, made his debut and made a good impression. This morning Mr. Faulkner,democrat, made a motion that thesenate udjourn till Monday. “This was resisted by Hoar and Iry. The .motion was finally withdrawn. Voorhees re ported from the committee on finance u bill to discontinue the purchase of silver bullion, declaring it to be the polivy of the United States to continue the usa of “both gold and silver as standard money. Mr. Vest, on behalf of the minority of the finance committee, presented @ substitute for the repeal bill, which fixes the mumber of grains silver in coins at 484.4 pure silver per doliar, and proportionately for half dol- lars, quarters and dimes, Mr. Voorhees gave notice that he would call up the bill and address the senate on “Tuesday. ‘The bill to increase the national bank eir- culation was then taken up. Mr. Ailen, N braska, advocated the adoption of the amendment offered by him last Wednesday to suspend interest on the bouds on which the increased circulation is based. He spoke from a desk in the front row of the demo- cratic sideand made a very favorable im- pression on the senators. Iu his judgment the bill would commit the country to a pol- icy of a continuance of the national banking system and he thought the time had come when safety required the overthrow of that and’its wiping out as speedily as pos- Nine-tenths of his peoplo were op- posed to anything looking to the perpetuat- ng of the national banking system. Senator Stewart's Spoccl Mr. Stewart gave a history of the recent development in the silver question. He de- clared the Sherman act wmust not be re- pealed until the whole question was investi- gated and discussed aund silver as 8 money metal provided for. He did not believe the senate or the house had any intention of plunging the country into the misery which awaits the single gold standard. He hoped the pead- ing bill would be stripped of objectionable features and passed. This was no time, however, for the banks ‘to ask a further subsidy unta every effort was made to relieve the country. If that efforc was not made in good faith it would not be the fault of the silver men, They would agree to anything that would eive relief. Mr. McPherson, of the finance committee, spoko against the Allen amendment, as it would defeat the whole measure, and favored the immediate passage of the bill. A like bill had passed the senate throe times with- out opposition, He had voted heretofore for it and he would vote for it again, because he learned that haste was needed. Quick relief was demanded and congress should act quick! He totally disagreed with his col- lengue’ as to nine-tenths of the people of Nebraska opposing the national banking system, and he referred to the lust reporvof the comptroller, showing there were in that state thirteen bunks with u capital stock of £10,000,000. The amount of depesits did not show that nine out of ten in the state were opposed to the national banking system. Mr. Pugh saw no reason why the govern- ment should not resume its constitutional power and issue all the cufrency which the people needed. Issue of State Bank Mr. Manderson said when the time came to act on thut question he would probably be found voting with the senator from Alu- bama. He hoped the senator would not be found fayoring the issue of circulation by state banks, Mr. Pugh admitted the vemoval of an un- constitutional tax on the notes of stute banks was & plank in the party platform, I the states excrcised power over the banks he had no doubt there would be less danger frow that sort of circulation than there wday from national bank c'reulation. The objection he had to the issue of currency by the governmeut was that it vvas Lard under the system to have an equal circulation all over the country. Mr. Manderson suggested he would find dificulty in reconciting the statements made @ rosult of reopening the old sys- tem could be illustrated by an anecdote re- lated by Scnstor Hawley. A steambout on the Mississippi hauled up to & wood station The captain asked if there was wood for sale, “Yes, pleuty of it.” “Will you take the notes of the Granada bank?" “Yes." “AL what rate?” +Cord for cord."” Mr. Manderson did mot want to see s restoration that smacked of that. Mr. Wolcott inquired what authority there was in lawful issues of clearing house certificates in New York to the amount of $37.000,000. Mr. Mauderson did not think there was auy. ‘The bauks were driven toit. My, McPhersou explained that the clear- ing house cortificates were not used as cur- rency, but ouly to pay balances. Mr.'Petfer suid that as bauks of el’ll sue the (QONTINUED ON TUIRD FAGE] DENOCRATS SEEM DIVIDED Dominant Party in Oongress Split Into Several Wrangling Factions, THEIR PATH DOES NOT APPEAR PLAIN Silver Men to Combine with the Protection- Ists in the Senate and Thi Administeation’s Polle; gogues in the House, 518 FOURTEENTIL STREET, WaAsHINGTON, Aug. 18 The democrats in congress are worrying over the commercial outlook. They are di- vided and quarreling among themselves on the silver question, and many of them are being turned away from party moorings on the tariff guestion. The rabid friends of sil- ver in the demoeratic party—and they are largely in the majority—are declaring that the present silver law has aothing to do with the present financial stringency and scarcity of money. While mwany of them will not venture to declare that the trouble is due to anticipated rovisions of the tariff and the first-comings of free trade, there are other democrats who opealy aunounce, in their strong ndvocacy of silver, that the trouble originated with the manufacturers and is due to grave apprehensions us to tariff re- vision, Before the silver debate is finally ended there must of nucessity be some hot words and anti-democratic sentiment by democrats in both houses of congress. Secretary Car- lisle and Chairman Springer of the commit- tee on ways and moeans have both stated in private during the past few days that the trouble which must be encountered in a re- vision of the tariff will come when the bil goes to the senate; that the house can be disciplined by the administration, but there are democratic senators who witl refuse to depart from the individual prineiple Hints of & Close bination. "They also have intimated that the quarrel over silver lepislation will result in a combi- nation such as was effected when the e tion bill was before the senate two years ago, and that republicans who will help sil- ver democrats to defeat unconditional repeal will be joinod by tariff protection democrats when it comes to a revision of the tariff. This would indicate an expectation on the part of the administration of defeat for any vadical tariff measure. It is very well known that such democrats as Gorman, who is largely interested in coal and iron mining; McPherson, whose state of New Jersey is one of the greatest in manufacturing inter- ests in the country; the two senators from Louisiana, whose constituents are the great- est sugar producers in the United States, and the new democratic senator from Cali- who represents the greatest wine and fruit growing interest in the United States, would be glad to find some good excuse for antagonizing un extrome tariff measur:, and since these men may not be the kind to countenauce any combination between silver democrats and tariff republicans, they stand in the way of the administration should it avtempt Lo puss an extreme tariff bill in the face of a combination effected upon silver and tarift lines, as they will not suffer the loption of a measure which will injure cer- tain interests which the party in power is pledged to avtaci. Western Men | WasmixgroNy Bureav or Tne Bm‘,} ® Tight Box. It is almost amusing to note the squirming of some populist and demoeratic representa- tives from the west. Their constituents are suffering greatly from the present financial disturbances and are appealing to them to vote for any proposition which will afford relief. These men are fully convinced that the silver purchasing law has nothing to do with the lack of confidence in business com- munities und the hard times in general. They are fully convinced that it is the ap- preliension as to disturbances m manufde- turing circles which will come when the new tarifl takes effect hese men would be very gludto see the majority in congress promulgate an announcement giving the dateon which the new tariff lawis to go into effect and something of un outline as to what the new law will be—the general prin- ciples which will characterize 1it, They were elected on a platform declaring for radical veform of the tariff, and they ar apparent believers in apn early. re sion in the tuviff. Should they openly support a resolution annouucing the tarift policy of the present administraion, they would discredit their public announcements that a revision of the tariff was necessary for the prosperity of the country. If they remain silent and witness the suffering which is now being borne by business men and steadily refuse to support the uncon- ditiouul repeal of the silver purchasing act, they will either acknowledgo themselves to be dumb before action, indifferent as to the interests of their constituents, or not truo friends of silver. If they coutinue to refuse to lay the responsibility for preseut business roubles upon anticipated tarift legislation and refuse to vote for the repealof the silyer purchasing act, the unfavorable character of thelr situation will grow worse from day to day. It is oneof the most uncomfortable situations demagogues were ever put into, and the near future promises to be a very distressing time for this character of politicians. Nobraska Senators Oross Swords, Nebraska's two senators were prominent in the debates beforo the senute toduy on the national bank seirculation bill. Senator Allen mado a speech in favor of an amend- ment offered by him to suspend interest on the bonds on which the increased circulation is based. He stated that if the bill which W before the senate should become a law and national bunks were given par value of cireulation upon bonds deposited, they should be willing to give the government tho in- terest upon the 10 per cent bonds upon which tion was now giveu., He argued that nationul bank cireulation was profit- able und that a great muny advantages were accorded to national banks that were not given to private banking institutions. Senator Mandersou arose to oppose tho proposition of his colleague und antagonize some of his tions regarding the real net profit there national bank circulation, His specch was a brilliant cne, was ex- temporaneous throughout and wis listened 0 by not only every man on the floor of the senate, but crowded galleries. In replying to assertions that nuational bank ecirculation should bo abolished and the money issued directly by the government, Senstor Man- derson stated that he also favored that proposition. Banks Easily Satistied, He felt that nutional banks would wil- lingly give up uli of tueir circulation, as it was ot desirable as it was not now profit- able, and that fact was proven by the palpa. ble fuct that nearly all national banks had taken out the minimum of civculation re- quired by law; that if there was a substan- til profit in national bank circulation the banks would secure the maximum of circula- tion instead of the minimum. Senator Man- derson said that while he fuvored the aboli- tion of bank circulation and the issuance of the money direct from the government, he wouid not favor the abolition of the na- tonul bank system or favor the re- veal of the stute bank tax, which was a prominent plank in the democratic platform and the real aim of the democratic party, s stute bank circulation would open the door to fraud and ull sorts of swindles. He declared that no man had ever lost & dollar by holding the currency of national banks “The senator had a sharp passage at words with Senator Pugh of Alabama, who is op- posed to the national banking system and in fuvor of state bank circulation. Scnator Mandersou took strong ground agoinst the position assumed by Senator Allen in opposition to national bauks.

Caro is also reperted to be wids ing the breach between the clerical and military factions of the conservative party. The suppression by Caro of El Conserva- dor, & newspaper published in Bogota in tho interest of General Veleza, the leader of the military wing of the conserva- tive party, has caused great indigna- tion among the army oficers and their followers and made the situation critical for the conservative party, and it is reported that President Nunez is going to the capital.

In his reply Mr. Carlisle say “During the present month treasury notes issued under the act of July 14, 1800, amounting to £714,036, have been redeemoed by the government in silver dolla While 1 do not have knowiedge of the informa- tion posscssed by the holders of the notes, Tam of the opinion that they were fully advised that they could have gold if they 80 desired. 1 base this opinion upon the gen- eral publicity given to the terms of the g no less than upon the mstructions of this partment to the treasurer of the United States, which have been that such notes were redeemablo in silver dollars at the op tion of :the holders. Tam also supported in my belicf by the fact that in the circular of this department, issued to the public for their guidance thoir dealings with the treasury and containing the regulutions which govern the issue and redempticn of the paer currency ana the gold, silver aud minor coins, there is a paragraph which reads: “Gold coin is issued in redemption of United States notes in sums of less than 50 by the assistant treasurers in New York h San Francisco, und miso by the urer at Washington.’ *In further response I have to say that re cently gold has been presented at this de- partment and silver dollars asked theretor, and that the gold was not taken for the re son that ali silver dollars in the tre the time were requived under the provisions of the law to be held to cover outstanding silver certificates and Lreasury notes. At present the department could not exc silver dollars for gold if requested to do so Dby holders of gold for the same reason, but if the conditions of the treasury were such as to afford o margin of silver in excess of silver certifizates and treasury notes, such a change would be made.” EMARS A Little ALL BANKS CLOSED, Inability to Realize on Assets Embarrasses Four Institut) Lemans, Ta., Aug. 18.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bre.]—Lemars was surprised this morning by the suspension of all the banks in the city.
