THE ALLIANCE -I N DKTE K D E N T. 6 NOVEMBER 10, ms FIND DEI REPRODUCED Th Peroration of Hirtorj'i Uc parallelled Effort- SENATOR ALLEN 8 CLOSING W03D8 After Fourteen Hours Speaking He Humorously Excuses Himself for . What He Has Lacked Time To Say, And KndaWith Tremendous Foree Mr. Allen. Mr. President, there axe many other intereetic features of this question which I Lave failed to discuss, vet I think a6ense of dmy to otter Senators, who have not vet bad an ooDortunitv to SDeak unonthle Question. requires thxt 1 should give way this morning to benatoM woo are prcpurm and who are desirous of being heard. I shall take occasion hereafter, If the opportunity offers lteelf, to submit some observation upon sonio important branches oi this very important ques tion, which I have not yet discussed Kngland has no silver mines of any great sipni Seance. If she bad she would Jook after her Interests, bhe baa loi mense Interests in her goM-producIng colonies, her Australian mines alone up to the year 1875 bad produced gold to the enormous amount of f i,z,o,uju,ooo. From 1881 to 188 Australia produced fold to tbs amount of IK0 OUO.UOO, rom 18i0 to 1888 the United States pn duced 1.7CI) tons of gold, worth $1,11)0,. 200,000. rrom 1800 to 1888 Australia produced 1,70(5 tons of gold, worth !, (Jti8,2UO,000. Saying nothing of her large interests in the African gold fields. Is it any wonder that Knglamt wants to strike down silver, one of our great est interests? Knowing these acts, is it not peculiar that England should re ceive any assistance from the United States? Jf England had owned the sil ver interests of the United States, sil ver would not have declined as it baa since 1873. This isaTrojun horse; but underneath and behind the whole scheme I see two monster Sbylocks, like Argus, hundred eyed, and, like liriareus, hundred-handed. One of these is England, the other the Sbylocks of Wall street and the east, both alike reaching out their long, bony and merciless hands for their pounds of flesh, regardleKs of the welfare of the laboring classes and producers of this country, regardless of the prosperity of this country, but interested solely and alone in their own selfish aggrandi.s inent. Shall we, the representatives of the Ceople, stand idle and see them crushed eneath the wheels of thU modern Jug gernaut, or shall we strangle the Lao coon before it strikes our people and our homes? Let these who answer yes go and read the Declaration of Indepen dence and answer to the people. What has been the conduct of England toward this country that It should call for such efforts from ns to advance her interests by increasing the value of her gold, of the bonds that she holds? What has ehe done for us that we should strength en the sinew s of the harpy hands of this colossal Shylonk that has the debtors of thfl world bv thn thrnW Let us see what she has done for us. Onthetith of September, 1(120, the Pilgrims, driven forth from England by religious prosecution, looked from the decks ol the Mayflower upon the shores of their native land for the last time. For sixty-three days they were buffeted by the storms of the Atlantic. Then they lauded upon a barren and hostile shore in the dead of winter, many tf them weakened by their sufferings and dying from hunger, cold, and exposure; strong men were struck down by fever and consumption until but a handful was left of that brave band to carve the way of civilization in the Western hemisphere. By their iron energy they slovdy prospered, warring with savage tribes and livlDg under the charter (the first seed of the Constitution) which they made for themselves, and in which they covenanted together to live in peaee and harmony, with equal rights to all, obedient to just laws made for the common good. God alone knows the privation and suffering endured by these people and the people of Virginia while planting the first mileotones along the highways of thisgreat Western Empire. Kngland did not object to the Puritans leaving their native land, but she did object to their taking money out of the realm. The common dictates" of humanity would suggest thit a people should have been treated kindly who had establish ed themselves la a foreign land under such adverse ciwimstanw, but as soon as the colomif s began to prosper we find England initial, passing the Navigation Act requiting the foreign commerce ol Virginia to be carried on wholly in England vessels and directed exclu sively to English ports, and a war vul sol sent over to compel submission. In 1080 the royal governor of New Eng land visited Hartford, Invaded the pro vincial assemby while In session, seized the book of tuinutes and wrote "tinls" at the bottom of the page. The royal governor of New England demanded the surrender of the charter of l,hole Island, and bis detraad not being com p ied with ho repaired to Newport. dU nolved the government, and broke the eal of the colony. The Engllth governor exacted iai nieciw rtiYtnua from the people. Toe people complained, and the oulr went lortn u loltows : "It there it ajr more murmuring fatot tbeUxea, make tr.uiu heavy thai toe cp! can tio nolitlng but think bow to pay them." 1 na taxca continued to tm tvvitfd up on the rolooUa without authority, and the prutotts of th people wera treated with contempt.

No American will ever forget that kjng and terrible struggle from Lexing ton to York town, ia which the yeo manry, raw recruits, intpired by the love of liberty, often half fed and poorly clad, contended against tne ira.nea veterans and hired Hessians of England. Lexington and Canker Hill. Trenton, and Concord, Saratoga and Yorktown; Washlntton and Greene, Allen and Lee, Sumter and Marlon, will never be for gotten while a stone stands in the temple of American liberty. In 1811, when the charter of the United States Hank expired, the stock of which bad been paying an annual dividend of from to 10 per cent, it was discovered that the English had gotten coutrol of nearly all the stock. Since then she has gradually gotten control of our carrying trade, bltediog us of millions of dollars every year, j She has rotten control of large areas of our public lands, of Immone tracts of eur coal, timber, and mineral lands, which she has bought for a song, and from which ahe will reap immense pro fits. She has bought lrge interests in our most profitable flour mule, our breweries, stockyards, and manufac tures. She holds our bonds and has made millions speculating in them. She draws annually from the Lnited States over $100,00;) .000 In the sbaDe of interest and profits alone. Notwith standing all thes? things the agent of the liothschilds now comes in the year 18U.1, ia the year the Columbian Exposi tion, and the one hundred and seven teenth vear of our Independence, and demands that our Secretary of the Treasury in the United States of America that ne l'Sue ioo,oou,wj worth i f bonds. The rule of England is that rule of Tvrants coercion. This rule of coer cion was used with Iron hand against the colonies until they, with almost superhuman exertions, broke the bonds that made them slaves. In 1812 we again fought against coercion, and now In the year 180.1, in this month of Octo ber, we lind ourselves facing the same question, lloratius Codes, single-. handed, held at bay the army oi ror- scna wane bis companions cut tne bridge and saved Ilome, and then leap ed into the raging Tiber with his armor on. There are, here in tne uniwea States Senate, many lloratius Cocles who will battle to the last gasp, like Ciesar's tenth legion, in solid columa with shield overlapping snield for toe rights of the people who eat their breakfast bv the candlelight, and work from sun to sun, who swing the ax and the hoe, the pick aad the shovel, the cradle and the hammer, and whose hands bear the marks cf honest toil; and against the Sbylocks and bonded aristocracy of England and the east. When the gallant Montgomery fell in charging the batteries at Quebec, his last word was, "t orwara:" When brave younsr Lawrence fell wounded upon the bloody deck of the Chesapeake, he raised himself upon bis arm and in feeble breath gave his dying orders to the- gallant seamen, 'Don t give up the snip." Thank God that tbelr spirit sun lives and walks abroad. When MardoniuB, chief of Xerxes's generals, desiring to get control of Greece, made seductive offers to the Athenians, the Athenians would not answer until they sent for the Spartans, and this their answer was: 'We are not Ignorant of the power of the Mede, but for the sake of freedom we will resist the power as we can. Bear back to Mardonlus this our ans wer: So long as yonder sun continues his course, so lone do we foreswear all friendship with Xerxes; so long confid ing in the aid of our gods and heroes, whose shrines and altars be nas burnt, we will struggle against hiin far re- venire. A' for you, hpartans, Knowing our spirit, you should be ashamed to fear our alliance witn tne nuroiriau. Send your forces into the field without j delay. The enemy will be upon us when he knows our answer. Let us meet him in Boeotla before he proceeds to Attica " So fur as I am concerned, I ask no favors and wear the collar of no man: and when the Shy locks of England, Wall street, and the east, and their coadjutors, ask that tho rights of the people be surrendered, my answer, so far a3 1 am concorned, wili bo that not one jot or tittle of these rights shall bo surrendered while life last?, It I can prevent It: we will meet them at Bmo- tia beforo they porceed to Attica, and we will not permit them to put their shirt of Nessus upon the backof Ameri can labor. We bid the Shylocks and money lords, here and hereafter, open and bitter defiance. PROTECTION FOR TRADE, loreia-n War Ship at Itlo ,lmih-u Hill (iuard the l.:i tiding of Csirsoi-s.

Wai.la; Wash., Nov. 15 A daring bank robbery and attempt to murder the cashier at Milton, Ore., ten miles south of this citv, was made at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At a time when few persons were seen on the street, three men, well mounted, rode leisorelv into town and dis nloitnted at the door of the bank of Milton Two entered the bank, while one stood guard out siile. Two pistol shots were soon heard and immediate ly after the men emerged from the bank, mounted their homes and rode swiftly out of town. They were not disguised, and oue was identified. President II. llopson, Cashier . A. Davis and Assistant - Cuc'iier William llopson were in the bank at the. time. Cashier S. A. Davis was behind the counter counting out T7d to jrive to President llopson. The first intima tion of the robbery he hud was when two shots were fired by the robbers before making any verbal demands Both hhots took effect in l'resitlent llopson, one passing through his left arm and going through his left side, inflicting painful flesli wounds. The revolver was held so close to the head of Cashier Davis that the concussion knocked him down. The robbers then demanded money from William llopson, mnl lie handed them a tray of change containing 89!4. Taking this they left immediately without an attempt to gut the cash in the vault.
