THE SILVER DEBATE.

Eynopsis of the Discussion in the United

States Senate.

* On the 14th Mr. Jones (rep., Nev.) spoke in opposition to the repeal He said the pending measure was a veiled attempt to impose the gold standard upon the people of the United States. The very vehemence and universality of the denial was of itself suspicious. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” _ In reply to a question by Mr. Vilas (dem., gVV is.) as to whether he (Mr. Jones)- did not fear gsgrious monetary disturbance if *free coinge'’ were given to silver at the ratéof 16 to 1, Mr. Jones replied that he had not the slightest doubt that in ten n:inutes after a free coinage bill became a law silver would be on a parity with gold and wouild stay there. ¢ : Taking advantage of a break in the discussion Mr. Vocorhees asked if it would be agreeable to the senator from Nevada toyield toa motion to adjourn, to which Mr. Jones responded that it would. Mr. Voorhees then said: “With the concurrence of and upor consultation with the friends of the pending measure I have a motion to make at this hour. Before I do so, however, I désire to correct any misapprehensions that may prevail in some mipds. There are some eager minds in certain directions just at this time. I remember reading. once with great interest an account of the battle of the first commodore of the “American navy, John Paul Jones, off the coast of “&cotland, by moonlight, with the Serapis and her allies. When the British commander asked him whether he surreiidered he said in reply: ‘I have only begun to fight.” If there is anybody who thinks that the friends and advocates of this bill have surrendered, or have it in contempla‘tion, I desire to answer, in the language of the immortal hero of the salt seas, that we have only begun the fizht, and with that I move that the senate now adjourn.” 'The motion was agreed to and the senate, at 5:05, adjourned. On the 16th, after congiderable discussion of other business, Mr. Peffer (pop., Kan.) resumed his” speech against the repeal bill Yielding temporarily to Mr. Palmer (dem, 11L) the latier rémavied thiat he had been kept in the chamber night after night listening, not to debuate, but to speeches which, as -the newspapers asserted, were made to consume. time. On being asked to specify any particular speech he started to express his belief that the senatur from Nebraska (Mr. Allen) had— But Before he could® finish the sentence he was.interrupted by Mr. Allen himself, who angrily insisted that Mr. Palmer had no right 'to malee such an imputation, and he called him to order for violating the rules. Mr. Palmer said he would not take anything back. And then Mr. Allen retorted by saying he was not in the senate with a brass collar around his neck, as'other senators were; that he wus not here to do the bidding of some man who had put chains upon. kis neck and told him what td do= S =

‘Considerable’ time was consumed on the question of the presence of a quorum, several roll calls being had, after which Mr. Peffer continued his remarks. He said a . time would come, if that majority had patience and would hear what the senators had to;say on this question, when senators would vote, but not until then. Butif the senate insists on forcing this bill, refusing all offers of a compromise, just so long will we insist that we are the majority; that we represent the great mass of the people. He said the supporters of the pending bill claimed to be bimetallists. Let them prove their words by their works. In reply toa query by Mr. Palmer if he meant that the majority must consent to 2 compromise before a vote could bte had Mr Peffer replied that if they (the minority) couid prevent a vote until then they would doso. , The colloquy between Mr. Peffer and Mr. Palmer kept up until 10 o’clock, when a motion for adjotirnment made by Mr. Voorhees was agreed to. s :

On the 17th, immediately after the journal was read Mr. Dolph (rep., Ore.) rose to correct it on the ground that it was inaccurate in failing to recite the presence of Messrs. Allen (pop., S. N.) and Kyle (pop.. Neb.) on sundry roil calls, they having been present in "ths senate and failed’ to vote. Mr. Hill (dem., N. ¥Y.) said be had never shared in the = criticism . that in the dabsence of rules the speaker of the house had not the right to' tell the ¢truth and to make the journal refuse to tell alie: that the speaker had not the right to exercise his ‘own senses, and wh@jmember sat right in front of him and aid not vote to-have the journal show the fuct of his presence.. The senate, Mr. Hill sald, was clipging to some traditions of past ages and there was no sense in it: there was na reason for it. and never had been. There was no harm in what was proposed to be done. The rights of ng one would'be invaded. The duty of senators was greater than that of merely remaining in their seats; it was their duty o take part in the transaction of - business. He believed that the presiding officer of the senate had a perfect right under the rules, upon a rollcall either upon his own suggestion or that of any senator, %o first ask a senator who is in his geat to vote. If the senator refused to vote then the presiding officer had the right to direct the clerk’ to enter upon the journal that the senator was present and declined to vote. Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala:) said he was not surprised that the senétor from New York (Mr. Hill)had charapioned the rulings of the speaker of the house because he was the unfortunaie instrument, ,when he presided over the senate of New York. in° the introduction of that . heresy not only into the democratic party = . 4nd its traditions, but also into ' the corstitutional rights of legislative bodies. He said he did not wonder that a politician born and raised in New York, where arbitrary force was the moving agency in all political machinery, both democratic and republican, had at last come to believe that there was nothing clse to be donein politics but simply to get a majority of the votes and then use the power which that gave. Mr. Morgan went on to speak of the ‘‘alliance and coalition” between certain democratic senators and ‘certain republican senators as certain to disrupt the democratic party, and he asked whether his democrati¢ colleagues were willing to strike that fatal blow. 'The coalition in the senate was created in defense of the national banks and for the purpose of destroying silver monev. : Mr. Gray (dem., Del.) said for himself ‘the charze was untrue. i : Mr. Washburn (rep, Minn.) asked Mr. Morgan what he meant by his declaration of a coal-

ition. g : ¢ Mr. Morgan replied that he meant an agreement between the Gemocrats and republicans who favored the pending bill that it should not be amended in any particular whatever. - Mr. Wiashburn desired to state that there was no coalition of any description. An exciting controversy followed between the two gentlemen, in the: course of which Mr. Washburn said he was not to be stamped upon and insulted for his position: Mr. Morgan responded deflantlv that he was responsible for every word he said, either in the senate chamber or outside. Did Mr. Washburn understand that? asked Mr. Morgan To this Mr. Washburn responded: “Perfectly.” Mr. Morgan then went on with his argument. In the course of it he alluded to Mr. Sherman as one of the leaders of the coalition and Messrs. Lodge and Hill he called “‘the juveniles from Massachusetts and New York.””" : On the question of closure Mr. Morgan defied senators to establish such a rule. He would not be alarmed into subordination to the scheme of anyone by anything of the kind, nor would he surrender his constitutional rights in response to howling, rampant demands of conces: sion to the national banks. . “If I must die here,” said Mr. Morgan in closing, “I will die like an honorable man at my post.’ N Mr. Hill (dem., N. Y.) said it was true that there were pgliticians in New York. He supposed there were no politicians in Alabama. They were all statesmen from that country. Mr. Morgan had spoken of his lifelong devotion to the iconstitution. *“I supposed,’” said Mr Hill, ‘that for a brief period my friend was supporting another constitution, but I may be mistaken.”” As to Mr. Morgan’s talk about dying at his post, Mr. Hill had heard like state: ments by men who were going to ‘‘die in the last diteh,” but, said Mr. Hill, ‘there are many of them jeft.”’ = 3 s Mr. Hill said he did not know to what Mr, Morgan referred by the corrupt politics and corrupt elections of New York, ‘“but let me tell him that from all I have heard of the election methods of Alabama and other sections of the south I think those of New York will stand easy comparison.’- : e Mtlso said to his Alabama critic that, “if we may judge from the report in the consz;exectmnbﬂbe of Cobb vs. Wilson, the po litical methods of the senator himself are not above suspicion.” Al i . Mr, Skerman &m.o.s said the rules of the senate were made to expedite public business in an orderly, proper manner, q@i&h&f@i@% was fo enable the senate tolegislat ngs‘g 8 wagsthe primary object of all rules, it was equally ‘important to give the minority full and free opoortunity of debate.

his senatorial experience. In fact, obstructive measures had beenresorted to which had never been invoked since the senate was first organized. It was then a dignified body of twenty-six members and it went to the -extreme 'verge of liberality 1n debate. - The practice of stopping a senator in the midst of his speech to suggest the absence of a quorum was an innovation and wasa kind of obstruction that had never been resorted to. When the republicans were in the majority they had never shrank from the responsibility which was now upon the democratic party. He said: ‘“We ask our brothers on the other side, for whose abil ity and standing we Thave the highest respect, to meet together and consult with each other. If they do not like the president’s plan give us some other, and in God’s name let us settle this important question for the people of our country. Then we will take it into our comsideration. If we can agree with you we will. We will not follow your example. If we do not agree with you we will give you a manly ‘no.” You must agree, or else you must abdicate, and this side will take the responsibility of.doing something.” Mr. Morgan asked whether the senator (Mr. Sherman) would vote for the unconditienal repeal of the entire Sherman:act. “No,” replied Mr. Sherman, emphatically, “and no other man who understands the subject would do it, in my judgment.” : Mr. Morgan said heintended to offer an amcndment to that effect and ‘get a vote upon it. ! &

Mr. Sherman stated that he would vote against it with the greatest pleasure. and then, in conclusion, said: **Break down this barrier now maintained by the United States senate, break up tpis violent : nd insolent obstruction to the will ot the majority: give the senate free power and play and in ten days from this time the skies will brighten, business will resume its ordinary course and ‘all the clouds thatlowered on our house be in the deep bosom of the ocean buried.’ '’ Mr. Miils (dem., Tex.) said Mr. Sherman had shot to the mark when he said that the responsibility rested upon the democratic party. Mr. Butler (dem., S. C.) inquired whether the senator from Texas would participate in and be bound by a caucus of democratic senators. Before Mr. Mills could answer the question, Mr. Hill asked Mr. Butler if he would go into a caucus of democratic senators and representatives and abide by the result. ; Mr. Butler said he would, and in turn asked Mr. Hill whether he would go into a caucus of democratic senators and be bound by the result. X : z Mr. Hill preferred to go into a caucus whére the entire body which had power to legislate was represented, and of that body the senate was only a part. - ¢ : On the 18th Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala.) took the floor on the motion of Mr. Dolph (rep., Ore.) to amend the journal so as to show the presence -of Mr. Allen (pop., Neb.) when the roll was called at 6:30 '‘o’clock Monday evening, that senator having failed to answer when his name was called. In. the course of his remarks he said that while the decision cited by Mr. Hil! (dem., N. Y.) relative: to the right of the house to make rules to ascertain the presence of a quorum might be perverted into a . support of Mr. Hill's position, as a judicial decision it could not be placed in that category except by the artfulness of an astute politician. A fair-minded lawyer could not do it. There were men in the -world whose consciences were so easy that ‘the§ " could 4ollow the- s\upreme court in all its - decisions, who @ould bend their consciences to any purpose that political necessity required at. any ‘time, but such ‘men had no just conception of the right and the rights of the representatives of the people and of the states. - e .

Referring to Mr. Hill's allusion to his (Mr. Morgan’s) e¢onnection with the confederacy Mr. Morgan said the eleven states which went out of the union did so, not to dissent irom the constitution, but to preserve it. He had more respect for those who had the pluck to shoulder a gun and go to the front than for those who continually referred to that period, but remained at home. It was only those who hired substitutes andpleading the baby act remained at home who were in the habit of rising in the senate and out and referring t& the fact that he (Mr. Morgan) had participated in the secession of the south. He was not ashamed of the fact.

Mr. Morgan, referring to the action of the secretary. of the treasury, said he did not beleve congress could confer the discretion upon tkat officer to coin or not to coin at s will The secretary in this respect had but partially executed a mandatory law.ga Mr. Morgan argued that the Sherman act should be repealed out and out. g & ;

At the conclusion of - Mr. Morgan's speech a motion by Mr. Voorhees to lay on the table the motion of Mr. Dolpoh to amend the journal was agreed to—4s to 3.; ‘ Mr. Teller (rep., Col) then moved to amend the journal so that it would show his presence on @ certain roll-call when he did not respond to his name; and on this motion he addressed the senate. He quoted from a statement of Mr. Carlisle in regard to insisting upon the passage of the repeal bill and said: *“What right has the ‘secretary of the treasury tointerfere with us in this matter? I resent it myself as a breach of privilege. 1 have heard a good (eal about the dignit{ of the senate. The miseonduct of one senato or a dozen senators will never degrade the sen: ate. The senate will be degraded, however, whenever it abandons its prerogative of independent legislative action given it by.the constitution. Whenever the senate shall take its orders from cabinet officers or an executive, then there shall be degradation of thé senate—degradation that the people of the country shall take notice of and understand. When we decline to be stampeded by boards of . trade, chambers of commerce. ete., we will command the respect of the American people. But when we surrender our convictions, whether it be on’ ‘the advice of the president or on account of public clamor, the degradation will begin and the usefulness of the senate will be at an end.” He quoted from President Cleveland’s letter to Gov. Northen, of Georgia, and insisted that it was an attempt to influence the action of the senate on this measure. ¥ :

* Mr. Daniel (dem., W. Va.) regarded those who called themseives the majority on the pending guestion more responsible for the delays which had occurred in coming to avote than those whom they described as a minority. He wished to say to Mr. Mills, of Texas, that he, for one, was ready instantly to submit the question to a majority of democrats who. had een sent to the senate charged with responsibility. Was Mr. Mills ready to do this and abide the result? S ;i

Mr. Mills did hot reply to this question, but further along in the debate said there was no doubt a paramount and permanent power in both houses to get the rules necessary to enable ‘them to dispatch public business. *ldo not? blame the minority,” he said, “I blame the majority for sitting still like children and permitting the government to be par alyzed. The government is in a state of paralysis. You cannot: pass an appropriation bill, or a bill reducing taxation, nor help yonr commerce, because we are told the senate has left its rules and abdi cated its power, and this great branch of the government, intrusted with power to legislate for the people, is a dead body until the minority permits it to act.” Ats:ls p. m. Mr. Voorhees moved a recess until 10 o’clock Thursday morning, which was agg}eed t0...° P : : n the 19th Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) took the floor on the motion to amend the journal and argued thatin the midst of an exciting discussion was not the time to change the rules of the senate. He said the appeal to the vice president to make himself infamous throughout all ages was most outrageous. He was an American and would not lay his hand upon the constitution and laws of the country. The rules of the senate were made for occasions like the present, to protect the minority, and they would protect the minority. * Mr. Dubois (rep., Idaho) regarded the present as an unfortunate occasion to attempt to change the rules. .In reply to a question by Mr. Hill Mr. Dubois said that any bill which the ‘people of this country desired passed. and on, which they had voted, would be passed by the senate. He said a majority favored a compromise. In respect to the criticism of himself for not vating Mr. Dubois said it was his pleasure and delight to sit in the senate, but if his expulsion from the senate would prevent the passage of the repeal bill he would not hésitate for a moment: . fe i Mr. Palmer (dem., IIl.) 'ﬁgg;dea Mr. Teller's motign that his (Teller's) name be entered as i St € S Do oo 48 & persopal request. H{ Palmer went on sarcastically to remark that he had understood the senatetwas o courteous body and that a personal request of u senator was always acceded to on the lofty ground of courtesy. Mr. Call (dem., Fla.) opposed any changein the rules and was followed by Mr. Butler (dem., 8.

a strong, determined, sincere anxiety to pass a bill it would make some concession fh order to get it through, and. if that was not done, the bill ought not to pass. _

A running debate ensued between Messrs. Butler, Hill, Mills and Palmer as to the right of the majority to change the rules at its pleas‘ure so as to secure a vote on the measure favored by the majority, Mr. Butler contending that ‘‘the minority is clothed by the constitution and the rules made in pursuance of it with power to prevent the passage of obnoxious measures, and when the majority has expressed Jdtself in a constitutional way, in accordance with the pules, then I submit it has the power and right to pass measures, and not till then.” Mr. Palmer (dem., Ill.) said he understood the interpretation of the senator from -South Carolina to be that unless the minority consents the majority cannot vote. The minority had the right, in good faith, to exercise the fullest debate, but he denied that it had the right to debate for the purpose of exhausting time. ~ "Mr. Butler said no one had done that, and wanted to know who was to determine whether he was obstrueting or not. : 2 Mr. Palmer replied *“first, the senator himself, and secondly, the majority of the senate.” ~After further sallies between the senators engaged in the controversy, Mr. Butler closed with an appeal for a compromise. - Mr. Teller withdrew his motion to amend the ‘journal, and Mr. Peffer (pop., Kan.) resumed his speech against the pending repeal bill, and - at 5:05 a recess was taken until 10 o’clock on the 2uth, Chih

* On the 20th Mr. Voorhees (dem., Ind.) offered a resolution to amend the rules, saying that it was practically the . proposition heretofore presented by Hill (dem., N. Y.). It provides that whenever a bill or resolution is pending’as unfinished business and has been debated thirty days 1t sha ! be in or er- or any senator at any time to’ make a motion to. fix the time for taking the vote.. This motion 48 not to be amendable or ‘debatable, and is to be put immediately;, and if agreed to by a majority of all the members of: the senate the vote on the bill or resolution is to be had at the time fixed in the motion; with» out further debate or amendment, ‘except by unanimous consent. And no motion of any kind is to be entertained during the pendency of the motion to fix a time or at the time fixed until the bill or resolution is finally voted upon. : : . . e Mr. Peffer (pop., Kan.) offered an amendment to the pending repeal measure. It;propnse/_‘s free coinage of gold and silver under the provisions of the actjof 1837 that revives that acts Senator Peffer stated the pointssin which this amendment differed from that heretofore offered by him pProposing free coinage; and which had been voted down some time ago. He then went on with the speech commenced by him on the 13th, and continued in installments on Saturday, Monday _and - Thursday. Speaking of the course urged .upon the vice president, he said: ‘Let! no Casar come into this body, and ther there will be no need of a Brutus.” He said further: “If we defeat the holy or unholy alliance of administration with Wall street this struggle will become memorable in history, for the senate of the United States will have .Bhown itself to be the last refuge of constitutional liberty.” : After he had spoken for two, hours, but without nearing the end of his discourse, Mr. Peffer at sp. m. yielded to ‘a motion to take a recess until the morning of the 21st, which was agreed to. : . e
