Bill to Reduce Salaries of Govern ment Offlcers--The Natioal Bank Cireqlatins: Bill and ' the Mantle Resolution Ar gued in! the Senate The Free Silver De bate Continued. SENATE. ; Washington, Aug. 22. In the Senate this morning1 Senator Allen offered an amendment to the iVoorhees repeal bill in the form of a provision for the coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, under the same conditions enforced as to the coinage of gold and directing the coinage (without unnecessary delay) of the silver ; bullion now Sn the treasury. It was referred td the Finance committee as was also a bill introduced by Senator Peffer for the reduction of the salaries of Kll of the Government officers, from $1,000 upwards by 15 and 20 per cent. Senator -rVoorhees, chairman of the Finance committee, then took the floor and addressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill reported by him discontinuing tlie purchase of silver bullion. The speech had been ' prepared by him in advance and he delivered it from typewritten sheets. But it was spoken -with all the energy and. , venemence tnat faenator Voorliees nas ever displayed in a speecn before- the Senate. -From the first sen tence he commanded the close and earnest attention of Senators on both sides of the Chamber and of an un usually large audience in the galleries.- He had not been speaking more than a quarter of an hour, when he noticed Senator Stewart rise as if to put a ques tion or to interpose ;a remark, and he prevented that by stating that he de clined in advance to yield to any inter ruptions, and that he would have to ap peal to the chair I for protection in his right to the; noorj " iou wiu nave plenty of chances at me he said; addressing the Nevada Senator. "I will be a naked object herej and j will answer all. 'ques tions. 1 nope i will have a little peace to-day for about an hour." He then re sumed the delivery of his speech, but had not made much ifurttier when progress he was again interrupted, this time by an outburst of applause in the galleries fol lowing an encomium on President Cleve land. Thisjbreach of the proprieties of the place and occasion was checked by Vice President Stevenson, who threat ened to have the! galleries closed if the offense should be repeated. The delivery of the speech occupied an hour and thirty-five minutes. After Senator Voorhees took his seat he -was congratulated by many Senators. The iraileries then began to thin out and a majority of; the Senator left the Cham ber, in I '. i '. l ' The debaite was continued by Senator INBois, Republican of Idaho, in opposi tion to the bill. What vote of the people, )w asked h'wl instructed Congress to abandon bi-metaUisir'? There was not a Senator on the floor, he S?id, who had not-been elected! on a platform vrhich pledged hitn to ! bi-metailism. No na tional party -had declared at any conven tion in favor of monometallism, and, in his judgment, none ever would. He in sisted, most earnestly, that no repre sentative of the people had a moral right by his vote or on hrs own judgment to put the country on a gold biiiudard. It would be a betrayal iof the people. Senator Palmer argued in support of the hill. ;v . -:y ; 1. ; : - The bill was laid aside; and the Mon tana Senatorship taken up and Senator McPherson moved that this matter be laid aside informally and to prC.d the consideration of the bill to inerea the National bank circulation. This'mo tion provoked much colloquy in the course of which teeaatori Voorhees gave notice that if it should turn oyt that the Aational Bank bill was tj be used ter-de.-lay action on the bill to repeal the Sher man act, he should move to side track it. Senator McPherson's motjpn was agreed to yeas, 40';hayS, 10; and the : ISaii&nsJ Bank Circulating bill wtds accordingly taken up, the question 1 Ibeing on the amendment offered by Senator Cockrell for the redemption-of such 2 per cent, bonds as may be offered; and for pay .npnt. in a new issue bf treasury notes. bv his vote or on hrs own judgment to tw amendment and the bill itself were discussed by Senators Sewart, Faulkner, Cockrell, Hawley, Allison ana iarey, and then the bill and amendment went over without action. - ? A resolution was offered by benator Peffer. and went over i till to-morrow, calling on the Secretary of the. Treasury for a report1 as to whether National banks in Boston, lew York, and Philadelphia were conauccea in violation 01 iaw, whether thev were pflvine: depositors checks promptly in lawful mbneyj and whether they were demanding rates uf. interest higher' tlian these provided by law for loans of inoney or for the dis ciMinlinf of notes. : - After a Short Executive session, the Senate, at 5:30 o'clock adjourned till to morrow. !

I ": ' ', Mr. Bynum, in advocating the VS ilson bill,-said that unquestionably the vast majority of people ! believed that the Sherman law was responsible for the evils described by the President. Since the passage; of the act the price of silver hadi gone steadily down. By this fall the Government was losing more than $10,000,000 ia year. Gold was beiDg- ex ported in large sums. He highly eulog ized the action of Secretary Carlisle for his refusal to issue bonds. It was said that silver bad i appreciably fallen in value during the past trrentT' years be cause during that time it had been un- J rt - s rm , 1 i uer nre; a inere migns ue some iruui iu that assertion. 7 The United States could not open its mints, to free coinage at any ratio,, with .. the mints of all the I other civilized nations closed against it. This country could decide on no ratio that jfould give a fixed value, to! silver. If the United States should adopt a free coinage act there would pour into this country m one year more silver than the mints could coin in ten years; lhe free coinage of silver at this time would be the severest blow that could be struck at this metal. Should free coinage be decided upon he would bid farewell to any hope for tariff reform. Mr. Hepburn, Republican of Iowa, ridiculed the idea that partisanship could be eliminated from this debate, and satirized Mr. Bynum (a man who had defied Speaker Reed in the most insult ing terms) for asking that cant and sub terfuge: should be eliminated from this discussion. He opposed the repeal of the Sherman law and he protested against the shifting process of legerde main by which the Democrats attempted to place- the fesponsibility of the repeal upon Republican shoulders and to make the Republicans admit that the Sherman bill contained all the iniquities which the Democrats in their enthusiasm charged that it did. Applause. Mr. Jones, Democrat of Virginia, op posed the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause and favored free coin age. The existing condition of affairs he attributed, not to the Sherman act, but to that iniquity of iniquities, the McKinley act. ; . The House then at 5 o'clock took a re cess till 8 o'clock to-night, but only after an agreement that during the remainder of the week, the daily hour of meeting shall be 10 o'clock. ' .

The Repeal of the Sherman Act the First Thing to be Done The Ef forts of Capital to Drive Out Silver A Staunch Bi-Met- allist His Tribute to : i Cleveland The Na- tional Banks. Washinqtow, Aug. 22. Senator Voor. hees speaking in the Senate yesterday in favor of the repeal of the Sherman silver law said that while the calm unbiased public opinion of a great majority of the American people, irrespective of parties, had justified the action of the President in convening the extra session,; the causes for the action were widely and dangerously misunderstood, and by cer tain classes purposely misrepresented. For five months had gone up the voice Of the prophet of financial evil; from the great money centres had emanated cruel edicts contracting the currency, ajad re sulting in panic. No one believed there was want of confidence in the Govern ment credit or in the stability of the cur rency, notwithstanding the empty treas ury left by the last administration and the record of a billion dollar Congress. The American credit was better to-day , than that of any other country on the globe ana even cowaraiy capital seized upon our bonds with swift greed. Investors of capital complained that the adminis tration had refused to issue at least $300.- OOU.UOU bonds. This additional indebted- ness, increasing the burdens of American labor would be hailed with the keenest dene: lit and swept with aviditv into un patriotic vaults by the very parties who most loudly declaimed against the Gov ernment credit. i !. I- " . ,: Alone, as it were, the colossius of the Western hemisphere, and towering up in isolated power and glory, our limit less material resources are sometimes overlooked, in summarizing the elements of our financial strength. The Inter State commerce of the United 'State? alone exceeded in value the entire for eign commerce and carrying trade of Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria;, Holland, Russia and Belgium put together. Development of internal resources of wealth qn farm, in factory, on ! the . tjvers, on the ocean borders, in i the mountains and on the inland seas, dwarfed into insignificance thJ achievements of any other age, race or nation. Legislation had checked our foreign trade and we had not to-day a commercial friend in the world. For every law that we en acted denying to foreign productions a place in our markets and declining com mercial friendships, we might be certain of an injurious j blow in return from' every trading people in the world. I But there was another and exceedingly sensitive and powerful test of our Gov ernment credic which asserted its. claims not only to, the trust and Admiration t t'ie American people, but also to j the business confidence and ref-pct of every civilized nation beneath the sun. Money was simply g medjun fqr- the exchange of values;' money a cieatute and Congress its creator. Gold and its al ledged intrinsic value went for naught as a circulating medium Tihless the coin bore the stamp of the Government, 1 i The game official stamp on silver, or on paper, at once ennobled them to an equality with gold in purchasing power, no matter now debased or valueless the rnaterial may have become as commodi ties by sinister pjr unwise legislation. It would doubtless" spiind strahge'tq somp eara (hat there were- pine' different curt rencies transacting thp business of this country and to a large extent the busi ness of the world. So uniform in pur chasing and debt-paying power were iliey; 8d in harmony with each other and interchangeable tliat 'hrdly one-half of then were generally known to exist. National eredic had been tested by tne smooth and harmonious circulation of those nine currencies and had met the ordeal in a manuer to awaken the pride of every patriotic American hearf. Never was a part of it discounted or discredited except by" the GOvernnjent itself. That happened once and will never happen agaiq, - i. 1 " ' ' At this point he was confronted hy a law without parallel in Arherican hijf -torv. a law in whose name financial panic, alarm and distress has, been in voked, and for Wfipse repeal this ixm gress had been convened- He briefly sketched the birth of the law which re sulted from a compromise, and said that in an evil hour the worst and darkest tha t ever befell the cause of bi-metallism or the honor and existence of silver money this pernicious compromise was accepted and fastened on the country. The act was not mieiiueu iu vuuu laiu xoi uie coin age of silver at all. On ihe contrary, it emanated f rora the enemies of ; silver money and its purpose wao ta' deerade this one of theDrecious metals unuT it could no loneer". hold its place with gold. in rertucino" snveE to s, mercnancaoie commodity qn a leveLwith tbe products Ot the neiq anqarm, ana isumg treas' ury eertificates on it aaeordins to its mar: set value, tnere could oe out one eneci. on the dignity and stabihty of that great money metal. ; It reeled and staggered un.dpr the blow until now its enemies predfoted with joy its speedy and total destruction, As a firm unfaultering believer in bir metallism without discriminating against ither metal he said he voted against ;he passage pf the herman aidfor he same reason ne wouia vote ior lis repeal. The outcry in certain quarters at tnis tjmp that these whp vpte for the - - i a.-. repeal Qf this measiire are enemies oi silver as mrmev and iii avor of lis de monetization was not, omy raise so ior as ne was concerned, i out in uie ligui . J 1 l ' xl - K-Ui of what had happened m the past it was absursd. And now, in this darkest day evernowu to sjlyer, lie avowed his un shaken faith that it would remain .for ever one of the world's great and poten tial factors of nnance, commerce, tramo and daily business transactions. It would neither be demonetized nor driven away ftora the habitations of the laboring masses of mankind. He would vote to repeal to the Sherman act as he would remove a dead ny irom a dox oi sweei ointment, as he would abate a nuisance and1 wipe out an obstructiqn q rational wholesome legislation.! It tainted and vitiated the entire financial system land destroyed confidence ' in all business transactions every hour it remained a part of the las?, i 1 The question had been asked whether a vote should be given for its uncondi tional repeal or whether before a substi- tute must - oe ageea upgn. ne, wx hees, would at once eradicate this confessed evil from the body of our laws with no other condition than his right and free agency to suppefrtand to secure, in connection with its repeal, or after wards, by an independent, measure, as the succeos of its immediate repeal, the primary duty of the hour, might at the time dictate, a sound financial system, mhrnMno" the coinage of silver on an equahty with gold, in masing uua; statement he only repeated the declara tion of the Chicagg platform on which the American pePplp ijestpwed on the Presidency one-iof the strongest, ablest, purest and most patriotic characters ever known to American history. : He said that the President's letter of acceptance contained in four brief sent ences every sound, wholesome, endur- ing prihciple of finance ever known in the history of the mostprosperous nation of the earth. ; Who dared in the face of the clear and exlicit words to charge that their author was a monometaliist in diguise, a believer in the use of ! gold alone, but . wearing for the sake of an election to the Presidency, a bimetallic mask? His fearless frankness in the ex pression of his views oh all public ques tion . without regard to their ef fect upon himself, had long been con ceded by friend and foe to be" the leadine characteristic of his mind. He (AToorhees) was willing to stand or fall br his ' faith in the truth and honor of Grpver Cleve land, and in his well known fidelity to pledges when once they are made. " Continuing, Senator Voorhees said that such questions as ratio were matters of detail, but the American people; had de clared that suver should not be- demone tized and contraction take place on the basis of monometallism. Congress would establish a fair ratio and neither of the metals would be dismissed. He said there were other features pf the situation demanding consideratiori. The bitter and determined assault which had been witnessed on the present administration a- 1 r. w compel ; an enormous issue oi gov ernment bonds had not gone un heeded by the American people nor had the authors of the assault! and those interested in its success escaped widespread and intelligent observation. The campaign of capitalists . seeking a new supply of interest bearing Govern ment bonds did not confine themselves to any one point of assault, while j they operated to break down the gold reserve and to that extent impair : the public credit; they startled the country and they flooded the world with the cry j that American gold was running away If rom the silver blasted country, chased out by silver money and that there ,- was no way to lure it back except to bait plenti fully with Government bonds. The Sher-r man act was made to do double duty and was charge4 with grave offenses in which it had no part. The gold shipments were to be accounted for as part of the plot tp sack the treasury, which was to be aocom. plished bv a concerted outcry from ter ror stricken business circles and from the whole National banking system, that nothing could restore confidence and credit save the issuance of $300,000,000 of bonds. He had no desire to assail the National banks. It was the system he arraigned and hot the individuals ; who conducted it. The unrestricted, unre strained and unbridled ',power of these banks whereby the circulation of money in the hands of the ; people can be and often has been sud denly fluctuated from a prosperity maximum" to a stunned and distressful minimum, constituted a standing:' and a frightful menace, against the safety of the great and most useful body of the American people. The books showed that something more than $1,500,000,000 rrrnearly $24 ' per capita were in cir culation within the past "year land should be; in circulation n to-day. The Government was not in : direct contact with the citizens on ! this subject. The National banks W-ere be tween the Government and the people and in their vaults to-day lav hy-wh' millions and hundreds of millions of dol lars. Could any one be blind to the fact that the banks had not only t'jrned thei ej u uusuiroa prosperity, out mat they , had also attempted to seize the Government itself by the throat. : j "Base Ball. :: -.j'..'

He says that Republicans like Mott, Russell, J. B. Hill, Robinson and Cook favor the dis bandment of the Republican party,- as was done in Virginia. But the question is whether the executive committee will have the good judgment and nerve to adopt a resolution cutting the party loose irom any campaign next year, so its j members will be left to do as thev please. Harris says there may be fools (as he terms them) enough to oppose such disbandment. ! He; says that it the dis-:- bandment is effected the Democrats are surely defeated. A few white Republi cans will vote with them, but nearly ait will vote with the Populists.
