\ILY BEE. ~ { ————rar e e e e ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, ~ OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNENG SEPTEMBER 1, 1593, HIE SPOKE AGAINST REPEAL Benator Woloott Combats the Contentions of the Anti-Silver Forces, HUMOR AND SARCASM WERE HIS WEAPONS Democratle Members Twitted on Their sversion from Bimotallism to & Belief in a Sinzie Standard—Pros ceedings of the House, WasniNaToN, Aug. 81.—The speech of Mr. Wolcatt against the bill to repeal the pur chasing clauso of the Shorman act was de- livered in the senate today in the presence of almost all the senate and a large lobby. The telling parts of it, sud those that inter- ested his hearers, were some humorous and sarcastic touches inwhich he depicted the conversion of democratic statesmen from their belief in silver and their dovoton to bimetallismato the gold monomotailism be- 1ief of the president. The next speech wag on the opposite side of the question and was by Mr. Caffery, the successor of Mr. Gibson of Louisiana. This was his first appearance in the senate as a spocchmaker, but the specch was romark- able as a pronounced declaration in favor of ~unconditfonal repeal of the Sherman law, al- though he admitted the position taken by him might not meet the approval of his stato and might put a bar to his further po- Iitical carcer. Mr. Cockrell fntroducad & concurrent reso- lution dirccting the sccretary of the treas ury (under se on 250, Revised Statutes), to issue certificates, not to exceed 20 per contof the amount of gold coin and bullion in the treasury,and to use and spend the same inp nent of interest on the public debt or anything else it was needed for. He said the passage of this resolution would allow the issuc of from $25,000,000 to $15,000,- 000 in gold certificates, Laid on the table Mr. Voorhees moved that the senate pro- cecd to the consideration of the house bill to repeal the Sherman law. Woloott Takes the Floor, The motion was agreed to. 'The bill was taken up and Mr. Woleott addressed the senate in opposition b After consider- able persifiage, in which he twitted the senators on 4 change of views on the s ver question to suit the ideas of the admin- istration, he declarod #hat Mr. Fill's speach might hnve been as well made against silve as he knew thit freo coinuge was impossi ble by separate act under this ministration. He quoted a former utteran, of Mr. Voorhees to show the inconsistency of that scnator on the silver question. He de- clured that Voorhees and Sherman were for the first time in accord, that Sherman would be in fact the chairman of the finance com- mittee instead of Voorhees. All the senators knew Mr. Cleveland would veto an inde pendent silver coinage measure. He hinted that if this bill passed the free silver men might vote against protection in any form It seemed unaccountable that in a. panic the banks should object to an ncrease of the volume of money. Their plan was, nfter repeal, to ask and probably et an issue of §00.000,000 in gold bonds. The speaker then procecded to contvovert the argument that there had been an ovel production of silver in the world at big profits. He showed,in the case of Leadville, that $104,500,000 1 silver had been produced av a cost of $121,600,000, the loss being changed to only u fair profit by the value of other products. If only the silve tes were concerned they would acquiesc h- out protest, but it was a national question, affecting all parts of the country. Caffery's First Efort. The floor was next taken by Mr. Caffery. His maiden specch in the senate was in favor of the uncondizional repeal of the pur- chasing clauso of the Sherman act. He rned the senator from Colorado (Mr. Wolcott) if he expected to smile away the serious money troubles of the country as Cervantes had laughed away chivalry and romance from Spain, he was doomed to s nal failure. He was proud of the position of his uative state on the money question. S| had always been sound, and if his fecble ef- fort would avail she always would be. Sorely tempted, she refused 1n 1579 to repudiate the principal of her bonded debt. Now the se- ductive offer was made to aebase the na- tional currency, but her senators, true to their convictions and the traditions of their state, had put aside the insiduous proposi- tion, ' It might be his fate to feel the tem poryry weight of the forces of inflation. . It might be that the star of his life, just aris- ing above the horizon, migut be relupsed mto darkness by reason of his vote, but como what might, he should stand fast to the deep conviction that-he should bo creant to his duty should he add one vang to poverty, should he give the people a cur- rency that rofuses to requite 1ts reward At the close of Mr. Caffery's remarks Mr. Cullom gave notice that he would address the senate on the repeal bill next Monday. A motion having been mado by Mr. Péffer to take up the resolution heretoforo offered by him as to national banks refusing to pay dopositors' checks in currency, Mr. Voor- hees said if senators were not prepared to | £0 0n with tho discussion e had no objec- tion to other minor matters being tnken up, providing the repeal bill was not replaced {o gave notice, however, that if he found at any time that discussion'on the repeal bill was exhausted te should ask for a voto. Would Be Glad to Ald Voorhces. Mr. Cullom said he should be glad to aid the senator from Indiany in_securing a vote atany time, whether ho had made a speech on tho bill or not. Mr. Voorhecs said he was awaro it was the intention of senators to indulge in good deal more dobate. Ho trusted there would bo a liberal allowance for full debate for full intelligent discussion, and said that after it was manifest the discussion was ex hausted and that it was only kept up in order to consume time. he would msist on vote at every timo. There would be no in- terference with men wio wanted to dis- cuss tho bill, but there would be with the purpose of senators to delay action After a colloguy, from which it appeared that if Mr. Peffer's motion agresd to it would displace the repeal bill, the form of the motion was changed so the repeal bill should be informally laid aside and the reso- lution as to natioual banks taken up. The moticn was agreed to, and then the motion heretofore made by Mr. Voorhees that the resolution be referred to the committce on fluance was_carried—yeas, 85; uays, 2l—us follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Allison, Black burn, Caffery, Camden, Carey, Cullom, Dixon, autkuer, F'rye, Gallinger, Gibson Gordon, Gorman, Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hig' gius, Lodge, MeMillan, McPherson, Mitchell of Oregon, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Palmer, Pasco, Power, Proctor, Ransom, Sherman, Squire, Stockbridge, Vilas, Voorhees, Wash: burn and White of Louisiana—5.

Wasmixarox, Aug. 81.—The silver men stole n march on thew opponeuts in the house today and, under the leadership of Mr. Springer and Mr. Kilgore, gained a victory which makes it impossible for the gold wmen to impede the consideration of bimetallie or other financial legistation that may be re- helr ported by the commities on coinsge, weights | and measures or the committeo on banking and currenoy during the coming session. The time honoved custom iu tho house has been to make the reports of the committee on appropriations and ways ond means privilezed mattors and when the new rules wore being considered today Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, suddenly sprung an amendment, extending the same favoritism to the committee on banking and currency. Mr. Kilgore followed with an amendment also, including the committee on coinage, and, although these amendments were sharply opposed, the last was adopted by vote of 133 yeas to 93 nays, and the original, s amended, adopted by a vote of nearly two toone. Not until it was all over did the house generally realize the immense victory gained by the bimetallists. Under this rule, the committee on coinage can report a silver billat any time and force its consideration by thie house and the committee on banking and currency will have the same right. Takes Awny Part of Its Powers, Incidentally, also, the houso, by the adoption of ‘these amendments, has broken away from the leadership of the committee on rules, prosided over by Speaker Crisp, and has declared it will no longer be in th t of that committee to determine if inage bills shall be accorded recog nition. ~ The roll call of the house today shows that many members who voted for the Wilson bill supborted these ament ments, thus justifying their declarations that they favor the principles of bimetal- lism, buv voted for immediate repeal of the purchasing act as a means of restoring con- tidenco. Among those who thus voted was Mr. Springer, the originator of the mov ment today carried out by the house giving the right of way to silver legislation. When the house met this morning it re- sumed consideration of the rules and Mr. Pickler's amenament to increase the mem- bership of the committee on rules was re- membership was also lost. On motion of Mr. Kilgore an amendment was adopted giving the committee on ways und means jurisdiction over all measures to raise revenue Mr. Hooker moved to strike from the rules the section which refers all opposed action mittee ou rules.

Mr. Reed said the extract was not corr ‘'he gentloman from Ohio (Outh- waite) would bear him out in saying it was admitted there had been an error and the error had been corrected. The other ex- tracts were then read, all criticising Speaker Reed's ruling in the matter of the counting of u quorum man from West Virgin of tho chorus of the Fifty-first cong he was glad to see these reports were dying and uot increasing. The gentlemuan from West Virginia had two yeurs ago uplifted his voice in denunciation’of the Fifty-first congress. After these two years the gentie. maa, by an’enormous mental effort. and by the aid of stenographers and typewriters, had evolved th arkable literary co tion which tbe house had just hstened to. He congratulated West Virginia on having '58, but lead the house and the other to bring in the rear. [Laughter.] Domanded the Previous Questic Then Mr. Outhwaite demunded th pealed for some time to deba quesbion. But Mr. Outhwaite would not yield, which drew out from Mr. Hooker th vomurk: “That is just what I expected, that you will close dobate, and_ thut is just what muy be expected all the time from the committeée on rules.” Mr. Hooker's smendment was then re- Jocted. Mr. Boataer offered an amendument, which practically puts it in the power of any mem ber who is in charge of any proposition on the floor, to propose cloture uny time he thinks advisabl bated pro and cou, the consensus of opinion being against its adoption. The speeches were brief, not taking wore than five min utes each—Mr. Wilson of Virginia in three minutes making the strongest rvemarks against the proposition. 1t was mot, he maintained, that the majority should be pro- minority. The democratic idea always had boen that the fewer laws made the better it would be for the couatry. A wise mau had ouce said the best laws which had been made were the laws to_ropeal previous eu- actmonts.

Commissioner Lochron Makes n New Rule A% to Suspension from the Rolis. WasiiNatoN, Aug 81 —Commissionor Lochren of the pensiofi bureau has issucd an order modifying the fractice of the office. The most important change is that which hat hereafter there will be no sus- pensions except 1 cages where the record 8hoiws on its face the soldier was not entitled pension whatever. It is thought, cr, the number who will come under this class will be very small. In speaking of this néw order today the commissioner satd thatghe change had boen made at the request of the secrotary, who questioned the fairness of the old pactice of the buroau, which suspended pensioners during investigation. A larger number of pensioners were found liable to suspension under the old practice than had been antici. pated, und cases wero found whore persons have beon suspended whose disabilities have increased since the date of being pensioned and who are now entitled to remain on the rolls, Tn every instanec as soon us theso casos were called to the attention of the bureau the correction was maae, but it was feared the suspension might work hardship by preventing the payment of pensions to those who at present ars legaily entitled to the same, though they were not at the time the pension was granted. e R i WILL REVIVE THE ENTERPRISES, Plan to Put Sloux City's Ruilways on Thelr Feet Once More. 0, Aug. 81.—[Special Telegram to Crica Tie Ber ]—For several days there has been in progress at the Grand Pacific hotel a meoting of a commitive of the creditors of the Union Lo axd Trast company of Sioux City.
