SBSilX A number of petitions were pre sented in the senate praying for the suspension of silver coinage. Harrison reported favorrbly from the committee on territories an orig inal bill to admit Dakota and provide for the organization of the territory of Lincoln. Butler reserved the right to submit a minority report if after the perusal and consideration of the mi j Tity re port be shall conclude to do so. Harrison, from the same commit tee, reported adversely on the teiolu- tlon heretofore offered by Butler and Vest calling for inquiries as to the organiz.tlon of s ate government in Dakota. The resolutions were placed on the calendar. Morgan oflere 1 a resolution relat ing to the trustees provided for by the Utah bill to manage the property and affair# of the Mormon church organization. The preamble to the resolution recites that the anion of obureh and state in a J dnt adminis tration of temporal and spiritual af? fairs of any ohuroh or religious sect is dangerous to the freedom of relig- oftUyf constitution of thi Uultid ate#. The resolution sets forth, among other things, that In the opin ion or the senate it Is not within the power of congress to appoint < fillers of the Ujltea Bates to participate with effleert of any churoh or relig ious sect in the msnagement of the a flairs of anoh chuioh or act, and that it Is In violation of the eonstltu* tion for the president to appoint any snCb ofBoer under any law. At Morgan's request, the r> a dutton was allowed to lie over. Pugh oalled up Bttk’e ether reso lution and addressed the senate on it with tha aid of all the leaf olng In the world. Pugh sa d the greatest rates men were still grappling with the money question at present at the earns point at which they began to grapple with it. 80 far as tha United State* were concerned there had never been a lime when our paper at met. ho currently had hern so found nnd heal’hy ns If was to-day. Tula eon* dltlon of affairs and premium on our I ouda. constituted grim Batlre on the kwa-ssny sat on tha money question. NJibing wa< more to be de-ired, Pugh thought, than tbal thanks, baLkere and tha federal treasury should stand aside and allow Gr s'laaa’slaw to have fu'l and free operation on our silver cur rency. Hu bad muoh confidence In the praetloal sense, sound Judgment and integrity uf President Cleveland and bia devotion to the constitution and Ua principle a. hot many democrats would differ with the president on the mosey question and on tha de'alla affecting tariff These questions were so far reaohing and complicated in their operations as not to be cap able of dual solution satlafaotory to all honest Inquiries. He (Pugh) had given the president’s message muoh consideration, but waa constrained to differ with him with re gard to moaey. Pogh quoted figure* from tha New York clearing bouse to show that only shout 8} per cent of tha clearing housa Iran esc'Ions wera represented by oast ; the remainder being made up principally of ebccka. CoFg'ess was confronted, he a ll, wltb an of ficial announcement that our busl- uses relation* bad raaobtd the crisis ia which we must suspend the oiln age of alive - until we could secure an international rata between gold and silver. Tha real point involved, Pugh believed to he, not the suspension but total stoppage of silver ooinage, and if silver coinage were suspended now It would be a bh w that would eventually lead to the consummation of an organized oonaplraoy of capital ist* to accure absolute oontrol of all our onrrenoy and the regulation of ita value and oona^quent purchasing powers Pugh believed he spoke for the southern people when be ■aid that three-fonrths of them Would tc-day, If opportunity were given, vote sgainst the proposi tion io“suspend k Bl!ver Coinage. P tl- tions that came to congress favoring suspension were all on printed blanks and signed mainly by bank ers. Pugh critlciaed the argumen t of the secretary of the treasury and the president. He inquired whether we were to take the mere dictum of the preuident on this matter, and in sisted that the execu'ive iffloers w<ru under obligation to enforce the laws of congress Why had •hose laws been hourly violates? Had congress abdicated i's powers to the 1 x outive depart men ? The gov ernment national banks, who were flscai agents or the government, sb( uld no!, Pugh thought, bave been allowed to beoome numbers of the clearing house. Then the discredited silver certificates < f ihe government national banks had evaded the laws of congress by agreeing that they would not cfler silver certificate to 'he cleaning house, and therefore none hud been actu dly refused by the clearing house. A newspaper, be said, had Fqu rely defended evasion. Why was. silver opposed by national bank ? B cause silver was the only medium of our currency which they could not oon- * rol, 8 op the coinage of silver, said Pugh, and those banks willli-comi- absolute monarebs of all they survey. The opinion of James G Blaine, hi continued, would bavs influence wltb some He read from rsmarks made by Blaine while In C ingress to theefftet tbat establishment oFmono • metallic gold standard would be In* urlona tnourindnstriaeandcommerce of the United Stats* and that the Uaited B ates could not wisely treat stiver as the European countries did Bith metals, Pugh insisted, were necessary In order to counteract con stant tendency of money to contract under the vast increase of values of the world, pe quoted ft®®’*' 1 nent Englishman ai’hoAly, Mr Gosohen, to show that no gold stand ard country tn the - world had nd vauoed In prosperity in a degree at all to bs oompared wi h that pi the double standard of the Uoited S ares. Without concluding hts remarks, Pugh gave way to Elmundsfora motion to go Into execut’ve session. Vatios gave notice that at the c! b of the morning busiiKB to-morrow he would ask tne s uaie to continue the sousideratlon of B.cfc’s resolu tlon Coke gave notice that on Wednes day next he would ask permission of the senate to b ibmit some remarks on the same subject.
