ALLISON ON FINANCE BILL Ohet an Outline of tbe Mennre , Repljing to All Qneations. CLIMAX OF A LONG DEBATE ON MONEY llnnkliiu Mi-mlirr uf tlir Plnnncc Committee .MnKr * n lritnu mill I.ticlcl ArKiiiii < * nt.luiici uf .Nc- WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. The financial delate In the senate reached its climax today. Two great speeches , one In favor of the pending senate substitute measure and the 'other In opposition to It , were de livered , and both were listened to by sen * ators with close attention. The first was delivered by Allison , the ranking member of the finance committee. He had been an attentive listener to the speeches delivered on the other side of the chamber and In the course of his argument he presented his answers to the points raised agAlnst the jiemllirs senate bill. Jones of Nevada declared that the bill was vicious and unwarranted , conferring toj great power upon national banks and fasten ing the country to a gold currency. Ho discussed the question from a historical and phlloftophlo viewpoint.- Tomorrow the senate will begin the dls- cuesjon of the bill anil amendments under the ten-mlnutc rule- . . Allison ? ald that after , cardful considera tion the senate committee had regarded It wiser to deal with 'thepending , questions In accordance with the provisions , of the ficnare measure than .In accordance with the house bill. ' Asserting that ho never had supposed there was any doubt In the minds of anybody that this country was on n gold standard , Teller inquired If in 1S73 th gold standard was made the standard ol value. Allison replied that the' dollar was made the unit by the act of. 1S73. Tell r : "Then . I will ask tho. senator II we were on a silver standard from 1792 to 1S73 ? , " . "We were not , " emphatically replied Alli son. "The standard of value was not pro claimed In the act of 1732. That act pro vided that the two metals , silver and gold , should hold a relative value of fifteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold. We there fore had a double standard of value. " Ho said that since the enactmqnt of the law of 1873 there had not passed current a single dollar of any kind of United States money that was not on an absolute parity with the gold dollar. Concluding this portion tion of his remarks , Allison said : Ilc-Knuetliitr I.ntv of 18711. "I assert that In passing this bill we arc but re-ennctlng practically the provisions ol the law of 1873. We arc reiterating the existing law. The present bill makes the greenbacks absolutely redeemable In gold coin. In no sense does the bill provide foi the elimination of greenbacks from bur cur rency. I want to reiterate that there Is not a provision In the first section of the senate substitute that is not now a part ol the law or that has not been the practice ol the government since 1S79. " Tlllman Inquired it Allison had not sup- i ported President Cleveland's efforts to so- ' euro the repeal of the Sherman law In 1893 Allison said he had insisted Cleveland to thai extent , but he had tnken occasion also tc criticise the democratic party for Its attl- tudo on the money question since. "Well , I merely Interposed my remarks , ' safd Tillman , "in order to get the senator t ( absolve the democratic party from all re sponsibility for Grover Cleveland. He neve ; was a democrat. " "I will absolve the democratic party fron responsibility fet -Mr. Oley.elandrdplja ; Allison , suavely , "and at the sameftlme wll absolve Cleveland from responsibility for tlv democratic party. I know that .he does no care to accept such a responsibility. ' ( Laughter ) . Lindsay of Kentucky inquired whether U case there should be a deficit , the gold ob tnlned from the sale of bonds under the bll could bo used to pay current expenses of th ( govern-mcnt. "Under the provisions of the senate sub- stltute , to' which I nm directing my re marks , " replied Allison , "these bonds , foi obtaining gold can be sold only when thi reserve falls below $50,000,000 , and I wan hero and now to express my firm convictlot and belief that it will never be necessarj under the bill to sell bonds fen .that pur pose. " "But , " persisted Lindsay , "will not thi ultlmato rcbult bo the retirement of thi greenbacks ? " "Under the bill , " replied Alllscn. "thi greenbacks cannot bo retired. I want to sa ; ; that the retirement of the greenbacks , o : any other part of our money , should neve bo attempted without the most carefu scrutiny and tbe wisest consideration of thi legislation providing for it. IIK CioM ( > rlil In response to another question by Lind Bay , Allison said that the Greenbacks undo- the provisions of the pending bill practical ! ; ttouid be a gold CL-rtlflcatc and , he added "it is so now. " Allison said that the bill did not provld- - for the exchange of silver notes for gold be cause the committee did not deem It ncccs sary. The faith of the government had'beti pledged to maintain them at a parity am that pledge had not been broken. We wonli never disgrace and degrade ourselves by al lowing thccu to go to a discount. The provisions for the issue of silver cer tincatw ) of $10 and under , ho said , had bet-i placed lu the hill owing to the popular do manrt for small bills , "Suppose next summer a demociatle prcnl dent was elected , " Interrupted Tlllman. " know you think that Impossible , but mlrarle have happened. Suppowo a democratic prcs ! clout should talte U into hln head to ells crimlnato against gold , how could sllvc dollars bo maintained at parity if they ar not redeemable In gold ? " "You must catch your hare bcfsro yo' ' can cat him. " replied Allison , amid laughtoi "This scheme of finance then reals upoi the continued suprein&cy of the party li powtr ? " "Not nt all , " replied Allison. "I am speak Ing of silver ccrtlllcntcB , not of the jirob nli'llty ' of the election cf a democratic presl dent. " Allen liitorpoHCd to say that hlw ohjoctlo : { to the hill wits that the whole power to Isau mousy would be turned over to the nation.n banks. Allison replied that under the bll every dollar of our currency must and woul remain in circulation. The tall would no was the dog. In conclusion , Allison said : "Thcro la no concealment , no prevarlca ticn in this bill. It contains nothing tha Is not plainly written on Its face. We main tain that the provision of this bill will main tain In good times and In bad tlmr ou standard of value. I say now. as my fin conviction of its truth , that the man wh [ ' falls to como to Its support , cither hccaux he iu in favor of free coinage of silver a for come other reason , will fall of his dut to Ills constituents and to hla country.

After a heated de bate the resolutions committee of the anti trust conference today decided to report In favor ot government ownership of railroads and for their seizure on payment of actual value and without payment for "watered stock or other fictitious values. " There was a sharp discussion In the com mittee and several tilts between members brought on by an effort to make the pint- form read as It had been drawn up , that the government should seize the railroads on payment of actual value "nnd without pay ment for franchise values. " Unanimous action was finally obtained by cutting out the words "franchise values" and Inserting Instead the phrase "watered stock or other aptlliouB values. " The commlitec alno unanimously favored direct popular legislation as a means of obtaining the result. The discussion in the committee room far outranked the deliberations of the main body of the conference. Ignatius Donnelly , John V. Altgeld. A. I' . McQuIrk of Iowa anl George Fred Williams urged the committee to strike from the resolutions proposed a statement that any payment for railroads should be exclusive of franchise value. "This Is n long flght. " said Altgeld , ' "and It will be years before we come to the actual discussion of the proposition on which we are to base payment. Let us not encumber the discussion now. " "If we had encumbered Ihe proposition to free slaves with n statement of what we would do for them we would never have freed them , " said Donnelly. Henry George , jr. , however , took the ether side of the question. "We are going before the people , " he said. "Let us go with the whole , plain truth and let them judge for H. " SliniiNon Xot n. Spring Chicken. Jerry Simpson also favored this view , de claring that he had had years of experience with this question In Kansas. His declara- Ubn brought a warm tiff with Representa tive McQuIrk. "You are not the only one who has had experiences , " said the latter. "Well , I'm no spring chicken , anyway , " replied the Kansas statesman. "Your feathers have all been plucked al ready , " retorted his Iowa opponent. Many startling statemenls were made be fore Ihe commlltee , among them by Presi dent M. L. Lockwcod , In which he said that before the government ownership was finally secured it would be necessary to im peach at least one justice of the federal supreme court. The committee also con sidered a proposition to recommend to the attention cf congress Senator Pcttlgrew's bill for government ownership of rallroadc , but It was voted down. The night session was In the form of a mass meeting which was held at the audi torium and brought out some of the strong est speakers among the delegates , Including John P. Altgeld , F. S. Monnett. Samuel M. Jones , John S. Crosby , George Fred Wil liams apd , Tom L. Johnson. President Lockwood of the anti-trust ileague'sald tonight : "This is a remarkable gathering in iriany respects.

Thomas L. Johnson of Ohio , chairman o' the committee ou permanent organization , reported In favor of Frank S. Monnett. former attorney general of Ohio , for perma nent chairman of the conference. Mr. Mon nett was escorted to the chair. He spoke briefly , introducing C. J. Uuell of Minnesota. . General J. B. Weaver -Iowa was the next speaker. He said : Wenvrr Talks of .Money , "In their origin and throughout their de velopment trusts , great and small , are es sentially Imperialistic. Their fruit , how ever alluring and tempting , ripens only in the deadly shade of despotism. They are simply intolerable In a country whose se-- tled policy is that of freedom. A republ. . whose Industries are dominated by trusts is already stricken with a fatal malady a deadly paralysis , and can only be rescued by united and heroic action. Where bs leading Industries are dominated by tnis s the government may be republican In form but It will be found to be monarc-h'al ' in spirit and administration. The trusts in t'3 last analysis and best 'definition , is simp y organized criminal aggression In business "Conscience and the golden rule , those divine restraints which should qualify and temper all human transactions , are ex cluded from Its business code. Its law Is force. It holds no parry with Its vi 'tajs it looks to a largo military establishme" ' and not to the affection and support of the people for safety ; H demands that the plun dered classes shall be held In subjection The trust Is ful brother to militarism , the twain are of one' blood and both are blaik with the guilt of Cain. Each In Its sphere destroys human life and lays desolate human habitation. The skull anct crossbones or crouching panther should be blazoned as a trade mark across- the door of the council chamber , where trust magnates and ben eficiaries meet to plot the plunder of mankind kind- . - - - - , - . i , . , . . . , "Can we not all see that the -power which controls the money output of a nation has in its hands the controllng attribute of sov ereignty and nolds the whole body of the people and all lines of business at Its mercy ? If they can , as now proposed , strike down all classes of money recognized In the constitution stitution- except gold , which Is already within their control and will there remain , held simply as redemption fund , and largely In the shape of gold bars , ready for shipment to Europe , then they will have a clear field , with all rivalry eliminated. " M. C. Wetmore , the tobacco manufacturer of St. Louis , addressed the conference on his personal experience with trusts , Mr. Wetmoro declared that the trust promoter is the worst enemy of the human race. The pi elective tariff , he declared , was the foun dation of the modern trust and Its concom itant evils. The farmers , be asserted , now feel safe from the encroachment of the tri-s-ts , but there is nothing to prevent the monopolies from entering agricultural fields when the other avenues of Industry have brei' ' exhausted. Mrs. Helen M. Cougar of Indiana fol lowed. She wns' the first woman speaker at the conference. She * . .vaslldly cheered throughout. Ex-Congrensman Jerry Simp- sun of Kansas caruo next.
