THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE , \TOD2sTSSDAY , OCTOBER , 15 , 1890. * WELL i ON THE SILVER BILL , His Position b the Howe on tha Recent Legislation. INTERESr OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY , Ho I'avorcd an Act which Should Neither Giro Control to tlio Gold I Jugs Nor the Ittillluimlrca. The following In the speech of Congress man Council on silver l sUlaUon as delivered In the house of representatives , Juno 8 , ISM : Sir.Speaker , I much regret that I am forced to occupy the position in which I now tlnd myself placed. It is by the courtesy of a democrat , who occupies a scat at the other end of this hall , that I am now permitted to be hwrd. I thank him for kindly yielding to me n portion of his time. On this most Important question of silver legislation I am denied recognition by the speaker and refused the privilege ol a hear ing by the gentleman on this sldo of the house In charge of the bill [ Mr. Conger ] , for the manifest reason that I am opposed to the bill In its present form. Mr. Sj cakcr. I have always been n republi can. My loyalty to the party has never been questioned. I stand ready to support the party la tbo future as in tbo past , I recog nize tbat my personal views and individual opinions , as a rule , should conform to the Judgment of those who are regarded as party leaders nnd counsellors. I can not , however , blindly follow even a majority of the re-pub- I do In this case , the needs anil demands of the people. I propose to povern my action nccordliiKlr. even ttiouph mv vote Is recorded with the minority. This I do under the firm conviction that ho who most nearly repre- Bcnt-s the people serves his party best , On nearly every question during the jrres- cnt session my vote bas been recorded on the side of the majority. I hope after disposing of the present bill it mny bo so recorded until the close of the present congress. But I vlsh to say riRht hero and now , speaking only for myself , but at the same time giving expres sion to oft-repeated utterances of members about me , that if the speaKcr and the so- called leaJers on this side of the house ex pect the rank and file to do their blddinR without reference to what is'rlght , or reason able , or fair , they will wake up some fine morning to find themselves very much mis taken. fApplause.T 1 most earnestly supported the speaker in his eminently correct ruling that members actually present and plainly to be seen in their scats should bj counted as present. It may buvo been apiinst former precedents to eo decMe , but such decision was in nccord with common sense and in harmony with the constitution. To have decided "otherwise would bo to make absurd and ridiculous the power given to the minority to compel the at tendance of absent members. There has bcjrn much bitter Invective , as I consider without cause or foundation , hurled against the speaker by reason of this and other deci sions \Vlieuitls manifest that ceutlemen on the other side of this house are eudeavor- inRto prevent legislation by the dlsreputable methods familiar to the filibuster. It is ncht and pro [ > cr that rules should be adopted and cnforcca which will prevent the carryinR Into effect of such methods. The people will sustain such rules as well as the speaker nho ha ? the nerve to en force them. But while this Is true , I wish right hero to ffivo utterance to another proposition which I am sure is u true echo of the voice of the "people , and that is , under no system of rules will a pa ; ; on free speech , fair discussion , or the riphtto propose honest amendments ever bo tolerated. [ Applause. ] f submit that the action of the speaker in refusing to permit tne considerations of amendments which would remonetlzo silver and eliminate from tne till now under consideration its bullion- redemption feature is an outrage on a major ity of the members of this house nnd on tbo p . > ople of this country who demand that this should bo done. [ Applause. ] If it is the wish of the majority of the menibcrs of this house to pass a bill In favor of the free and unlimited colnapo of silver it is as reprehensible on the part of a minority , even though entirely composed of republi cans , to prevent such action bv the enforcement of a gag rule as ft would bo for democrats , in pur suance of n filibustering conspiracy , to thwart legislation desired oy republicans. We should have an honest and fair expres sion of the will of the people as represented by a majority of the members of this house. 1 recoynize that it is Impossible for each member to eosraft on every bill his Indi vidual opinion ; I also recognize that it la fre quently necessary to make concessions In order to ecuro desired IcRlslation. For cue , I have boon disposed to meet the gentlemen on this side of the house In that spirit. 1 re gret as much as any republican can , that we were unable in caucus to ujrreo upon a bill that every member on this side of the house could support. While a considerable number like myself -were in favor of free and un limited coinage of silver , we stood ready to compromise on a measure that would elimin ate Iroin the present bill the bullion-redemp tion proviso , -which degrades and continues to demonetize silver and makes mere waro- bouso receipts out of the treasury notes authorized to bo Issued. It tookea atone time as though this might bo done. I do not propose to giro away any secrets ef the caucus ; I do jjot propose to tell any talcs out of school ; 1 only reneat what lias been a matter of pcneral publication in the public press , when I say that a number of amendments , ono of whlrti eliminated from , this bill Its objectionable bullion clause , were offered by tba gentleman from Ohio ( Mr. McKintcy ) , and probably would have been accepted as satisfactory to all the members f\n 1ht Rllln nf thn hnnuA liMt fntttin nK1r\n tiom and protests of the speaker. 1 \ \ ould have been very glad to have seen a silver bill Introduced and put throuch this bouso purely as a republican measure. This might have been done had gentlemen on this side of tlio house heeded the timely sugges tions of the distinguished anil able gentleman from Ohio [ Mr. McKiuleyJ , and accepted the amendments which ho proposed in a spirit of compromise. While In favor of the free and unlimited colnageof silver , Iwith other mem bers of similar views would have been will ing to accept this bill with the amendments promised , bellevitij ? that time would justify our belief that with the brand of demonetiza tion removed the pnco of bullion would soon reuch f I for 371.25 grains of pure silver , and result practically in free and Unlimited coin age. age.Air. . Speaker , the state which I have the honor to represent does not produce a single ounce of silver. My constituents are neither miners , or mine owners. It is not from a BdfUh standpoint , therefore , that Nebraska or her representatives view the question of silver lOo'lslrttlon.Vhat \ is demanded by my self , my colleagues , and the people we repre sent is such legislation as will result in the greatest good to the ureatcst number and will be productive of the largest degree of prosperity to the cntiro country. Jills question is the u.ost'important and far-tvnchlng In Its consequences of any that has received the attention of congress for many years. It a0ects every Interest of this great country , and If properly determined will brluff to the people n desreo of prosper ity without a parallel in the history of this nation. At tbothesholil of its consideration we nro confrouttjd with a condition of affairs which , if not alarming , is serious and deplorable. A leeling cf unrest and discontent pervades the land. 'The poor are becQrnlnR poorer , while the rich are Brewing richer. The inassct are becoming more nnd more dissatisfied. Every trade and occupation exhibits symptoms of distrust nnd unrest The farmer is unable to realize from his crops the cost of production nnd tramportttion. The wace worker finds himself cither ithout employment or com pelled to work for InMiftlcient wages. Tbo merchant finds trade "dull" and times "hard. " Those who are under thoharrowof debt find it impossible to extricate themselves. While other causes may have contributed to this condition of affairs , I btliovo the chief cause U the lack of Insufficient money lu cir culation and the establishment of gold as tbo only htandanl of measuring values. The law of supply and demand must b recognized. It Is n luw thut applies to money as well as to nil other property. When you limit the sup ply of money you increase its value as com- panM with other property. AVben you incrvaw the supply you diminish Its value , therefore , depending , as It does , Upon the law of supply and demandtho ques tion of a sufficient supplv Is one of the ut most importance. It It undisputed that prices tenet-ally bav fallen from JiO to 50 p r cent throughout the entire country since the de monetization of diver. It cannot bo denied th , t tbo limited supply of the circulating me dium and tbo single standard has brought about tills result Silver , as well &a gold , from time Im memorial bas been regarded as a money metal It Is recognized as such by tha consti tution , which declares that congress shall have power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof , " and that "no state shall * D * make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of dobu. " The act of 1S73 demonetizing- silver was nothing short of a national crime. The oulv excuse for lt pasRsge was that Its purpoio and effect was not appreciated or understood. It has been stated by one who vras a mem ber of congress at the tlrao this act was passed that with scarcely on exception the men who bad voted for it bad since declared their utter Ignorance of its effect , and that president who approved the act had subse quently expressed his acsire to again see sil ver restored as a money metal , having been unconscious at the time he approved the act tbat ho was blgnlncr a decree for silver de monetization. Had it made manifest that the purpose of the act was to establish gold as the single standard of value , it U fair to pcr- sumo It never would have passed or been ap proved by the president. There was no sufll- dent reason for this act of demonetization. By its passages gnat wrong has been done the debtor class , not only those who were In debted as individuals but those who must contribute to national , state , and muni cipal Indebtedness. In tbo suppression of the rebellion tbo government contracted an enormous debt which was measured bv the silver unit of 412' grains of standard silver. The act of 1ST3 demonetizing silver added to this enormous burden of debt under which the people wore staggering by changing the unit under which it was to bo paid from a silver unit to ft gold unit , thereby making government bond payable according to the single standard of gold , which had been [ freatly enhanced by the striking down of silver as a money metal. what Is true of government Indebtedness Is also true , and in a more oppressive degree to state , county , municipal , and individual indebtedness. It does scm to tne wo have now reached the tlrao when the cry of the distressed debtor should bo heeded. It ought not to TKJ the solo punwe of congress to legislate iu the Interest of the creditor class. The capitalists nnd the "gold bugs" for once In the history of the legislation of this country should be required to take a back scat , and the powers of Wall street should be deHcd. My time now having expired I wish merely to declare my position with regard to the present bill. Jf a vote can bo had on amend ments offered in good faith for tbo purpose of eliminating from the bill its objectionable features I will support even thoueh such amendments be voted down. This I will do on the theory that silver legislation is needed and desired'and that if tbo amendments pro posed are not favored by a majority of the members of the house , the mlnoritj- should accept the bill In its present form , as being the best measure that can bo passed. If , however , the speaker arbitrarily refuses to allow the consideration of such amendments or motions to recommit , I will most emphati cally vote against the bilL [ Applause. ] STOHJl ( tl'F SKlf'FOfJXDZulXJt. An American Schooner Snves o Brit- inh Torpedo Ilont. HALIFAX , N. S. , Oct. U. [ Special Tele gram to THE BEE. ] One of the worst storms that has ever visited this region , especially on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Cape Breton , has swept this coast during the last forty- eight hours. The sea ran mountains high , nnd news of disasters is hourly coming In. The wind blew with hurricane force from the southeast. A sharer in these misfortunes Is her majesty's steamship Pelican , ono of the rren-of-war which has been engaged in the fishery protection service on tbe coast of Newfoundland. Torpedo boat No. 63 has been attached to the tlcet assisting In this duty. The Pelican was on her way from Newfoundland nnd Halifax with the torpedo boat In tow when overtaken by the storm yes- terday. The fury of the gale made futile- all efforts to keep the Pelican and torpedo boat together , and the towing line pave way. The torpedo boat's crew had gtmo aboard the Pell- can for safety nnd the bant had been securely battened down before the storm became most violent. The man-of-war stood by the help less and drifting torpedo boat till dusk , but when morning had come she was not to be seen. The man-of-war cruised for some hours In an unavailing search for her convoy , but without result. Ere she "ceased the search the American schooner Samuel B. Crane , Captain McDon ald , was bearing the prize away to North Sydney. Tbo Cmno had found the torpedo boat off Low Point and towed her into Is orth Sydney harbor. The intelligence was wired to Admiral Watson at Halifax , who Immedi ately dispatched her majesty's ship Buzzard to > orth Sydney to look after the interests of the naval authorities. Meanwhile the Pelican had arrived at North Sydney nnd recovered the missing torpedo boat safely in tbat har bor. Pleasant to tbe taste , surprisingly quick in effect nnd economical in price no wonder that Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup Is the leading preparation of its kind.

Tbo reports of the various officers were re ferred to the proper committees , with In structions to bo prepared to report at this morning's session. The two sessions today will be devoted strictly to business , and in the evening the delegates will proceed In a body to Goodrich boll , on North Twenty-fourth street , where the degree team of Virginias lodge will exemplify the secret work of the order. Tbo team has been in training for some time and peed work is expected. The election of officers will probably beheld held tomorrow. Candidates arc very numer ous , nearly every town in the state having a candidate for some office. The principal con test will bo over the ofllccs of grand chancel lor and grand keeper of records and seal. The aspirants for the office of grand chan cellor have dropped out of the race until the field has narrowed , apparently , to the pres ent incumbent , J. M. Macfarland , and W. L.

Lincoln had Bover.il candidates , but they hnvo not shown any great strength , nnd the delegation has about united on the idea of allowing the ofllco of grand chancellor to go to Omaha and captur ing the oftlco of grand keeper of records and seal for the Capital City. Several candidates are in the field from Lincoln , among them belnp W. H. Love , Harry Downs , J. L. Douglas and H. M. Bushncll. The name of E. E.
