reecho no consideration at the Tieasury do-

It is conceded that a pi oflt would boical-
ired in the c oinago of . ( itollar cout lining 100
giainsof silver nt 'JO cents a coin , and th.it
the existing disci cpincj between the face

brought out a communication icceiveel b\
Mr Vest fiom n citi/en of that town , dated
December I1 ? , sfiting that on that \ cidaj
one of the notorious familv of Daltons was
walking tluough the stieels aimed v\ith a
icpe.ilimr gun and 1-oldlng a c-ommission
as elcputj United States m.uslial Mr
Perkins admitted that the statement was
likelv to ho true. He knew that some of the
men had been guiltj of Iho giealest ciimcs
and lawlessness and had been shielded and
piotcotc'd by commissions as deputy mar
shals Mr Pei kins had no doubt , he said , of
the authoi Ity of congicss to confer statehood
or teiiitoii il goveinment on the people of
Indian Tei i itoi.v , w hother the civ ili/cd Uib"s
consented to it or not. He hoped that soon
after tlie holidajs the Cheiokee outlet bill
would be taken up for consideration ami that
tluough it some legislation looking to the
pmposo which he had in view might bo so-
cuied His own Judgment was that the no-\
admitiisUaliou would Unit a most difllcult
question piecipitatc-d upon it Iho thou
sands of people who weie now waiting for
Ihe oiiennig of Iho Che-i-okeu outlet weie
being diiven to a condition of despoiation
and to a spuit of lecklcssness. All senalois
ought to desuo that , in a candid and law fill
and fair way , Ueaties in idc with Indians
should be i.ititied so that theio should be no
violation of lawor tiealies with Indians , and
jet that the land should bo open to settle
ment and that the homeless should be given
thooppoitunity ol seem ing homes
ArgiimcMits ol Anti-Option Hill.
The anti-option bill was then taken up ,
and Mr. Palmer , democrat , fi oin Illinois , i 011-
tinued his aigument ( begun j esteidav ) in op
position to it. He said that one of the most
sciious objections to it was that it stiuek at
the common light ot citizens to make cou-
liaels in aiiy'nianner now pcuiutted bjlaw. .
Nothing , Mr. Palmer s lid , was fai tlicr fiom
the tinth than the idei that the farineis
and planteis ol Iho United States demanded
the bill or would demand it , if thcj weie
made aw.110 of its piovisions. The people
wanted to bo pioteeted , inoio than anv thing
elsOjfiomtheirso called fiiends , fiom the men
w ho w ould subv ei t the 01 doi ly , constitutional
ideas of goveinment , and who would turn
tlioso helpless people whoahva.vs suffeicd
most when ouleily goveinment was at
tacked , over totliomcio discietion of con
giess. Ho was happy to know th it theio
was no in gent demand for such a bill in the
state of Illinois. 'Iho effect of tlio bill ,
should it become a law , would bo to duve
.speculatoisout of the business , and to give
laigo capllalisls a monopolj in dealing in
f.uin products. The effect would bo to
diminish puiehnses , lo diivoout competition
and to leave the Held of business to the men
who weio so llcicely demanding Ihe pass ige
of the pending bill.
.Mr. I'i'llVr'H llc'iiiiirkx.
Mr. Peffcr. populist , fiom Kansas , siid
that ho woi'lcl not ho quite satisfied with his
own conduct if lie did not , at li-ast openlj ,
boioio the senate , expiess his appioval
of Ilio pending me.isute. It vv.is not
his intention to enter into a discus
sion of the details of the bill , nor did ho
expect lo consider at length the legal
question involved in it. But ho wished to
einpliasi/o the iinpoitance of cailyand favor
able action on tlio bill , Ninelj percent of
American faimeis favoied the pissige of
the bill , or of another having the simo ob
ject in view. Faimeis did not object to buj'-
ing and selling for futuio deliveiy. Th it
was olten convenient and sometimes ncces-
saij. But the laiinc'is insisted tliat a llcli-
tious , motcmtod and false comnieuo In
pmc'lv imaginaij m tides , which continuillj'
intcileicd with their business to their in-
Jinj , ought to bo Mippiessed Thev did not
expect tliat the pending measine , if it became -
came a lawwould liil them wholly of the evil
complained of , but it would open tlio way to
moio Biicccssful legislation after the methods
ofovadinglthadboendlscoveml. Ho doubted
whether KM ) votes could bo obtained among
thofarmeisof K.insis in opposition to tlio
bill ; so that , in uiging its passage ho was
doing their bidding , and it afforded him
plcasmc to aid them in all mallei s about
which they had given him instructions , as
they had done in this matter ,
Mr. Pofler jieldcd the floor without con-
eluding his icmaiks.
