Mr. Sit took the floor and explained the bill , purpose of which was to promote and vance the scheme of International blmcl llsm , the only safe bimetallism , and the niclalllsm to which his party was pledg The house amendments were added to g the bill greater efficiency. Mr. McCreary , who was n member the last International conference , gi hearty support to the bill. He said ho 1 confidence that the Incoming presld would discharge the duties Imposed U ] him by the bill. Ho favored internatlo bimetallism. "Did you not say , upon your return fr Brussels , " Inquired Mr. Cox , "that dlfllculty of reaching an International agr mcnt lay with England ? What reason hi you for believing that England will cliai her position ? " ENGLAND MOKE FAVORABLE. "England , " replied Mr. McCreary , "Is greatest creditor nation. She has had gold standard since ! 181G and she will no until the countries ot contlner agree Europe force her to. But sentiment In fa ot bimetallism Is growing In Engla Nine of the present ministry are memb ot the Bimetallic league. " of Jl silver republican Mr. Hartman , of the silver tana , stated the position publicans. They would vote for this I ho said , but they desired to disavow i belief that an International convent would result In anything tangible , and register their protest against refusal adopt Independent bimetallism as un-An : lean , humiliating and degrading. Mr. Mcllao voiced the position of the vcr democrats. They believed silver she bo remonotlzcd. If It could bo done by ternatlonal bimetallism they would place a stone In Its path. It the republic tried and failed , as he believed they woi they would be relegated four years from i to the oblivion which would swallow up Cleveland administration. Mr. Qulgg took up the cudgel against bill. The republicans , he eald , had he democrats who had voted the "mule tick In the last campaign advocate this hill , "thoso who had supported Bryan. The 'publicans , who had gone through the c , palgn denouncing silver as a humbug , v now asked to vote for a bill which re < nlzed It. The battle had been , fought won on the gold standard. If the republic who supported this bill had had their ' the platform would have b at St. Louis , n straddle. Mr. Hepburn Indignantly refused to al Mr. Qulgg to Interpret the platform for h He resented the Idea that the platform revocably committed the party to the ( standard. It was to him a distinct pie to promote by all honorable means an In national agreement. JOHNSON IS VEHEMENT. Mr. Johnson followed the lead of Qulgg In a vehement and at times most s Rational speech , which was listened to w close attention , but which received no dt onstration cither ot approval or dlsappro' He said bimetallism was a thing of the p ; H was impossible. A statute could no m defy the laws of trade than the law of G Ho said H was as ridiculous to talk of < atlng value by the agreement of sevi countries as It was to attempt to crcati by the legislation of one. He recalled fact that members said they would supi the bill , but they had no faith In It. He. had no faith In it. It was a senseless thl It lacked logic. Why temporize with i question longer ? What would the w < think ot our weakness and vacillation ? the country believed In a debased curre Bryan and not McKlnley should be Inau rated. Ho warned the republicans that t had suffered in the past because they yielded something ot principle to the mands of the Inllatlonlats. The acts of 1 and 1890 were mistakes.
