Mr. Iinlley wa rtcognlc.ed for on hour. Ho
flist yielded twenty minutes to Mr. WlieMer
( /em. , Ala. ) , a member of the ways and
means committee , who submitted an argu
ment In support of the resolution. Before
closing Mr. Wheeler yielded a mlnuto well
to half a dozcti members on the democratic
mde , each of whom , us Mr. Cowherd ( dcm. .
Mo. ) tuld , erected a hook on which to Lang
a fcpDech In the congressional record.
The a ; > pcaranco of Mr. llland of Uland
dollar fame , to whom Mr. IMIloy yielded tea
in.nutc.i. ' .vas greeted with applause. The
course of the president and Secretary Gage ,
Mr. llland euld , In pressing the goli ! atand-
aid upccl tlio country , had driven the bl-
incullisls In congress to In'roduce ' and In-
Blat upco the paataiso of this resolution.
Yet , ho said , Mr. Dlngley charged the
minority with playing at pollUra. livery re-
liubllcan who voted against the icsolutlon
violated the St. LouU platform and voted
npilnst the coinage of silver lu any form
tree or unlimited.
Mr. Dolllvcr ( rep. , la. ) made a stirring
ppoccli of ten mlnutcii , Ho Hatd ho was
TOidy to agree with Mr. McUwan , who in
doscrlblliR the demoralization of the silver
campaign , said the people were almcst ready
to cnure : the horroro of a gold standard If
by so doing they could get rid of thu noise
of the advocates of 1C to 1 ,
Mr. Hepburn ( rep , , la. ) , In opposing the
rraolutlon , which he said was equivalent tea
a free coinage declaration , referred to ex-
Uovernor Holes' refusal to longer follow the
litandard of free silver.
Mr. I HIM ( dcm. , Ky. ) created something
of n i n-atlon In Ihe course of tils speech ,
while he v/ao referring to the crime of 1S7.1 ,
he unr . .red that If there- was cciy place
In ha.'t.i hotter than any other , It would be
reserved tnpeclally for John Sherman.
Many hisses from the republican sldo
greeted llils statement.
Later , speaking of the republican cry of
parity between gold and silver , Mr. Ilhea
aU a man who hugged his chambermaid
or cook had as v. oil la lit of maintaining the
licuor of liU household , its llioso who de-
br. > < 1 Oliver in every way lo plate of pre
serving the parity ot the two mctala.
After some further remarks by Mcasrs.
I.atey and Hepburn ( reps. , la. ) against the
rc-solutlrn , Mr. Calluy closed for Iho demo
crats In a speech which sllrred hla follow-
on lo a high pilch of entluulaam. Mr.
IMIlcy , ow'ng lo the great pressure for
time , l.ail only four minutes 1m which lo
close Ihe debate for hla side.
The reso'u'lon ' muleoonildcmtlon , he t > > ild ,
contained two oroposlllons , ono moral and
the other legal. One asserts as a matter of
law that the bonds of the United Stales aie
redeemable nt Ihe option ot the government
in fiilver , and the other as n mailer ot morals ,
tli-nt lo reslnro lo Its coinage such silver
coins as a legal lender in payment of the
bonds , principal and Interest , Is not In violation
lation of the imbllc falt'i , nor ta derogation
of the rights ot the public creditors. He
would not dwell , ho said , on the legal adject
of the question. There wns not a lawyer In
the- United Stales , nor In any oilier country ,
who would venture on his professional repu
tation to deny that the bonds could be pild
In silver. That wait without saying. The
republicans In this matter must justify t'acm-
selvctt , If at all , upon thu iiruiosltion lhal In
their conscience they believe that gold was
the money of the contract.
"Does one of you believe , " said he , ad
dressing the republicans , "that If the bond
holder owed the KovernuiC'nt , under a similar
contract , he- would not exercise his cotlcn ?
If It la right that ho should exercise his op
tion as ho would , wo bell&vo Iho government
has tlio same right with their poslllons re
versed. ( Democratic ciylauae. ) We are
revly to meet you on this Issue the Issue
thai Iho money which Is good enough for Iho
people who produce the wealth , Is good
< Miough for the Idlers who spend It ; lhat Iho
money which in good enough for the poor is
good enough for the rich ; that , the money
the laborer receives for his toll , and Ihe
mtrchant for his wares , is good enough for
Iho bondholders , end by Iho eternal , he
filial ! bo coiroelled lo take It. "
At IWs point the hammer fell nmld a
burst of enthusiasm from Iho democratic
aide.
aide.Mr.
Mr. Henderson ( rep. , In. ) and Mr. Dalzell
( rep. , Pa. ) closed the dotyUo with five mln-
ulo Eoeochea In oppcalllon lo the resolullon.
The former created Intense enthusiasm , as
with the stiiing of his leg resting on a bench
at the right of the tweaker's chair and his
crutches by hla sldo , ho rallied his followers.
Tills resolution , ho laid , reminded him of the
mcriograms ho used lo see on the Bryan ban
ners.
ners.MT.
MT. Ilalley You will eo It again In 1900.
( Democratic applause. )
Mr. Henderson Yes and wo will tear it
down again. ( Itwubllcan applause. )
"U was Iho three It's , " continued Mr.
Henderson , "radicalism , rascality and rcoudl-
atlon. This scene reminds mo of a popocratlc
convonllcu. H has the old familiar howl
against the bondholders. Hut , 'gentlemen
must remember that they cannot cut down
the money of Ilia bondholders without cut
ting In half the money that goes to the old
soldier or hlii widow or orphan , or the money
of Iho men who toll. "
Mr. Slmiwjn ( pop. , Kas. ) : "How about the
taxpayers ? "
Mr. Henderson waved Mr. Slmpson'H Inter
rogatory aside. The resolution , he resumed ,
wns In reality part of Ihe program that
Bought to commit itho country to the single
silver standard , Ho recalled the president's
declaration In 'his ' Now York speech.
"fiod bless little Mac. " ho exdalmcd fer
vently. "His declaration , moans that the
Ibost money In the world shall bo 'paid ' to
the bondholder , the plow-holder , the hod-
Jiolder. the pen-balder , the pension-holder ,
nml all who toll and nM wbo sweat. ( Hcpub-
llcan upplauso. ) Put that in your plpo and
smoke it. On th-at Iwuo wo will meet you
next .fall and thrash you as wo thrashed you
in 1S9C. " ( Prolonged republican choora. )
Mr. Dalzell ( rep. , Pa. ) declared that the
resolution was meaningless unless Its pur-
pcno was to open the mints to the free und
unlimited coinage of silver. It was a
prcipoaltlc'ii ' that the United States t'tamp ' Its
'legend ' on 44 cents of silver and declare that
it was $1 , It was a proposition of national
iT'pudlr.-tlc ' < n , iul against It all the forces of
national Integrity and honor were arrayed.
Moro eacrod than the centuries of history ,
Uo ( radlllm and Ma heroes , was Ita honor ,
and ho lhanked God that Ihe party In | Kywcr
had been anil always would bo the proteclor
of tint honor.
Others who spoke on the resolution were :
For It Dockory ( Mo. , ) , Clay ( Ala. ) , Wheeler
( Ky. ) , Pearce ( Tenn. ) , Ilalrd ( La. ) , and Ma-
gulro ( Cul. ) , all democrats , and nearly all

flrosvenor (0. ( ) , Grow ( Pa , ) , Hrnmm ( Pa. ) ,
Johnson ( Ind. ) , Steele ( Ind , ) , Brans ( Ky. ) ,
Walker ( Maso. ) , and Cannon (111. ( ) , all re
publicans ,
Thru at G o'clock ramo the vote , -which
was followed with great Intoreat , notwllh-
( standing < the defeat of the resolution was
a foregone conclusion. The speaker an
nounced that the vote would be directly on
the resolution , not on the adverse report.
Jt WEB soon evident that party ranks were
being hold Intact. There were only three
ibreaki. % Messrs. Ulllott ( dom. . S. C. ) , and
McAleer ( dom. , Pa. ) , voted against the reso
lution , oml Mr , Llnney ( rep. , N. C. ) voted
for It. .Mr. White ( rep. , N. C. ) did not vote.
After the roll call was complete the
apoakcr arkod that his name bo called , nnd

People who , from ono Incentive or an
other , are Interested In fairs and shows of
the exhibition variety , nre looking forward
to the approaching fair of the commercial
travelers , which tikes Its turn ) at the Madi
son Square garden , February 23 to March
5 , with rosy anticipations , Manufacturers
ho nnd the opportunity to ptTsonallach
the people at fairs nude nnd managed on
a broad scale and by demonstration to create
Interest In and a demand for their products
tegard the national commercial trovelcrs'
fair as an unusually good chance to reach
the business community , which Is naturally
greatly Interested In its charaeicrlstles "ml
Its success. The prospectus of the fair was
scarcely out of the hanJs of the fair's gen
eral maragcr , Mr. Alfred Chassraud , before
ho had several applications from manufac
turers for the reservation of space for the
exhibits which they proposed to make.
The writer of one letter said : "Our firm
would certainly In some way show Its good
will toward n class of men who wo feel have
contributed greatly to Its success , and to a
degree lhat Is not to be measured by the
compensation that has been cheerfully and
as liberally aa possible rendered In the way
of salaries and commissions. Our traveling
salesmen , we are glad 'to ' bo able to say ,
have shown their good will constantly. Wo
can help the fair and the boys , who , by Its
aid are trying to finish the homo for the
widows and children of commercial travelers ,
and at the Rime time 'benefit ' ourselves by
hlrelng a spnco in It , and will do tint and
make a donation of gooJs besides. We en
close a catalogue and ask you to designate
what , In your Judgment , you can most
profitably dispose of at the fair to the ex
tent of $50 worth. " "
The fair's president , to tlio fullest ex
tent that so busy n man's time nnd condi
tions will permit , Is actively Interesllng
himself In the success of the fair. Thu presi
dent Is Hon. Chaunccy 'M. Depcw. The
fair's secretary Is Mr. H. G. Dun , who has
proved bis inlerest In the undertaking of
a class ot men for whom his agency has pro
vided no much Important reading mailer
by talking and writing In the fair's behalf
at every opportunity and drawing several
checks of liberal amount ns the expenses of
organizing the fair made financial support
a necessity.
The full Mir commlttco , every member of
which has proved his earnest wishes for
success and that ot Its object , by 'hearty '
co-operation In many effective ways , Is com
posed of : President , Hon. Chauncey M.
Depow ; vice presidents , Hon. Frank P.
Black , Hon. Uobert A. Van Wyck and Hon.
William L. Strong ; secretary , It. O. Dun ,
csq. ; treasurer Hon. George R. Green ;
counsel , Van Schalclc & Norton ; lady chair
man , Mrs. Thomas S. Platt ; chairman press
committee , Allen S. Williams.
The homo Is an urgent and humane neces
sity. If all commercial travelers nnd those
associated with thorn through business re
lations , could read the scores of toiichlngly
plaintive appeals for Ihe sheltering protec
tion of Ihe 'home , written by men who once
received large salaries und represented great
manufaoturlng or mercantile Interesls ( bul
who , through no fault of their own , are now
Indlgcnl ) , and could understand Iho actual
necessity for a national commercial travelers'
home , hospital and school , the building at
Binghampton would bo Immediately com
pleted.
The fair will present some novel features
and will prove potently attractive as an
amusement resort during Its six days' run.
Traveling men are not the ones to make
any fair of theirs a cold and unnecessarily
dignified matter of business. They get that
all the time , and while their fain lasls they
propose to make all the money they possibly
can , but are determined to give Its patrons
tbo worth of their money In fun nnd like
wise to get some out of It for themselves.
