""-g Washington Letter. lFrom our regular oorreepondent.l Washington, D. C., April 12, 1893. Perljape no proposition for the consideration of the Fifty-second congress has been watched by the people ot the country sb closely and carefully ss the proposed natasufe for the free coinage ol ailvef. And there is no question upon which the people of the country, regard less of party, are more openly and outspokenly divided. It becomes a partisan question only as the leaders of the two politick! parties conceive that they can sway votes to each other by and through the mistakes each conceive the other to have With this prelude the attentionof the reader is called to what recently occurred in the House upon this subject. As indicated tn previous communication, yoify correspondent expressed his belief , that the measure would pass both the ijouse and Senate. The facts, so far. show lha contrary, and in the writers’ opinidb tha reason of the recent failure o ihe measure in the House will be given. The friends of the bill were over confident, .id confident that they controlled a certain majority at any and all That they did hot carefully poll the vote, and were unacquainted with the exact of the friends of the measure upon all the preliminary votes that always pr ecede the passage of a bill so hotly contested. The opponents of the free coinage of silvef;were.-active, alert and aggressive all along the line, and familiar with the position of members upon all the preliminary questions leading up to a final vote. There were Democrats who would sup portfire measure upon its final passage’ who deemed it unwise io press the question to a final vote until the national con ventioas of the two parties had defined their respective positions. And these men were sufficient in strength to prevent its passage at this time, without the adoption'of a cloture provisions by the Committtean Rules. And so nearly were the partly divided, that the passage , of the measure, with the aid ot qloture was yery uncertain at this time. - Under the rules of the House, the force arrayed against the silver bill by filibustering and dilatory tacticts could prevent a v ote dj»on the previous question until the crack of doom, unless the Committee on Ruled would recommend a cloture rule, which they would not no unless the speaker/asked ior it, which he declined to <|o, unless a majority of the House would ask for it, which could not be obtained at the time, because the minority who wished the question temporarily postponed refused to join in the request. Republicans practically took no part in the debate. Wha J aid and comfort they bad to dispense was offered to the anti' silver v Democrats. Practically their 'moutU were sealed, because they would have been compelled to condemn their own acts, as Mr. McKinley did in the Rhode Island canvass, and as the antisilver Democrats did in the House by de ' daring the present silver dollar as worth only seventy cents on the dollar, which was apractical condemnation of Repub lican legislation as having gone a step too far in the direction of our silver. The silver men. retorted, claiming the silver dollar was just as good as the gold dollar, and would purchase anything offered for sale in the United States on the same terms as the gold dollar. And so the merry-go-round continued in one'of the most exciting debates for the time it lasted, as old timers declared, that has ever been heard upon’ the floor of the House. The measure known as the free wool bill passed the house last week, ex actly as reported by the Committee on Ways and Means, every amendment offered by Republicans having been rejected. The debate was very interesting through Outs lh these debates it is customary to , Interrupt the-speaker with pertinent ques tions well Calculated to embarrass him, in which the e are many lively tilts and bright repartees As a result, whenever a speaktr arises. to address the House, two polit 4ca| associates gather around him to aid ind'encourage him. The result is many of his brightest answers are conveyed to him folio voct by two friends. These are most enjoyable features ot these debates, the spiced wine ot these intellectual encounters. rfSretofore the old veteran protection Republican phalanx, by their aggressive nett, assumption of tacts, and their heretofore paralysing cry of free trade, have had the advantage. Bu tin the fifty -second Congress the table has been turned, not by the, superior numerical strength ot the Democrats, but for the reason that free trade no longer paralyses. Democrats i have lost their timidity and have assumed the aggressive. They force every position assumed by the Republicans, with the facte -- •*• _ «• *••••.’ • *

analysed, with logical reasoning, they foil their adverrer'e', and their once t'rjaded questions are turned upon them to their discomiorture. Many of the brightest Re publicans have had their own weapons turned upon them, and were compelled to retire with trailing flags to the music of Democratic hughter. The result is Republicans are on the defense. Reciprocity with its little hatchet has been one of the undermining forces of protection. The people 'doinot want the kind of reciprocity wolves gives to lambs, such as Mr. Blaine dribbies out, but that reciprocity whichaffords real and active relief to the cry of the laborer and husbandmen. It is true we are a great and prosperous people, in a degree, in spite of pro tection. But that prosperity which has turned one-halt of the wealth of this country over to 25,000 people in the last thirty years, requires more serious modification than Blaine’s reciprocity spigot can afford If we would be truly prosperous, prosperous beyond comparison, our legislation must be directed in that channel, that no one in all this broad land will be unjustly deprived of his earnings or his legitimate gains, by that, abhorent system of class tegislation mis called protection, and only rightly named when called legalized robbery. The cry of the people for Cleveland is the angry protest of the people against machine politics. It should be headed. No man is greater than his party. The writer believes that an uninstructed dele gation should represent the Democratic party in the national convention in Chi cago. Instruction mars more men than it makes. The fierce strife growing out of the effort to nominate this min or that man, often leaves unhealed wounds that drag down the successful candidate to defeat when the final conflict comes. There is no doubt that the popular vote of the people of Indiana is to day for Cleveland, and the writer is one of them. But, if any of the prominent candidates named have been placed in a position, that it would be unwise and impolitic to nominate them, the delegates- composing the convention, fresh from the people, should be governed by their impartial judgment and name some man for their standard bearer not affected by these party strifes, if it is their earnest desire for victory to perch upon the Democratic banner next November, 0 A Severe Case. * Amos Clark, a prominent man of Clarindo, lowa, says: Through the recorn mendation of J. P. Burrows of our city, I gave your Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup a trial in a case of severe cough, after using it a short time my cough was cured, which fact gave me such great confidence in its merits that upon every occasion I recommended it to my neighbors. Sold by all druggists. Epworth League. The last program published will be rendered at the next meeting. Don’t forget the Easter social at the M. E. church to morrow (Saturday) evening. The business meeting held last Friday evening was an interesting one and well attended. Some of the subjects called forth considerable discussion. The devil does a great deal of work with the loafers who stand looking over the wall into the Lord’s vineyard wondering whether it will pay to go in and take a hand or not. Work' for the library and humanity. Don't be a weeping prophet. All the tears are wasted beyond what are necessary to wash out the glands, unless you ean shed enough to run a saw mill. With charity for all and malice toward none, we come w ith tidings of glad joy Not many years ago the wild, inhuman inhabitant of the woods roamed through marshy forests where now stands the beautiful mansions of the civilized world. On the ship of progress the banners are fluttering, the colors blending and round her like avail descending to influence of Christianity and education are surround ing the regions of darkness and superstition. The earnest supporters of the League library and reading room are pushing the work by a thorough organization and soon the young people of the city shall have the opportunity of educating themselves without investing money in books, and it can be Said by no one, who shall live and die in the city of Decatur, that they have not had the opportunity to obtain an education. The citizens who wou'd rather their children should cultivate their literary tastes than their tastes for intoxicants should be liberal in their support of this institution. John F. bnow.
