Speech.
Senator Voorheea said that while the
calm, unbiased public opinion of a
great majority of American people,
Irrespective of parties, had Juatltled
the action of the president in conven
ing In the extra session, the causes
for the action were widely and dan
gerously misunderstood, and by certain
classes, purposely misrepresented.
Therefore. he desired to say
a few words ln explanation,
spoken in no spirit of strife or con
troversy. For five months had gone up
the voice of prophets of financial evils.
From the great money centres' had
emanated cruel edicts contracting the
currency and resulting in panic. No
one believed there was want of con
fidence ln the government's credit or
In the stability of the laat administra
tion and the record of the billion dol
lar congress. The American credit was
better today than that of any other
country on the globe, and even cow-
aruijr capital seized upon our bonds
with swift greed. Investors of capital
complained that the administration had
declined to Issue at least 1300,000.000
more bonds. This additional Indebt
edness, increasing the burdens of
American labor, would be hailed with
the keenest delight and swept with
avidity into unpatriotic vaults by the
very parties who most loudly de
claimed against the government credit.
There were mai^r reasons why our
credit should be stronger now than
ever before. It rested on the absolute
unity of purpose of the American peo
ple that It should be upheld. No one
not a political madman deemed a po
litical contest ln this country possible
on lines of sectional animosity. The
public credit of every European gov
ernment was unceasingly threatened
by shadows of coming wars. Fnanclnl
resources there were constantly weak
ened by vast standing armies and
permanent navies, but throughout the
wide earth there were none to
molest us or make us afraid of war
or rumnra of war. Alone, m It were,
the Colossus of the western hemis
phere. and towering up In Isolated
power and glory, our limitless material
resource* are sometime* overlooked
ln summarizing the elements of our
financial strength. The Interstate com
merce of the United States alone ex
ceeded In value the entire foreign com
merce and carrying trade of Groat

not today a commercial friend ln the

ery trading people In the world. He
had faith that the great evil which
crippled this commerce would be re
moved with other evil* which chal

the greatness of country waa studied.
It would be seen that financial panics
and alarms could have no foundation
here.
The Governmens Credit.
when the scenes through which wo
are passing now had grown dim ln the
lleht and progress of distant centuries.
He should vote to repeal the Sherman
act as he would remove a dead fly from
a box of sweet ointment, as he would
abate a nuisance and wipe out an ob
struction to rational, wholesome legis
lation. It tainted and vitiated the
entire financial system and destroyed
confidence ln all business transactions
every hour It remained a part of the
law.
The question had been whether a.
vote shculd be given for Its uncondi
tional repeal or whether, before a sub
stitute must be agreed to, Mr. Voor-
hees would at once eradicate this con
fessed evil from the body of our laws,
with another condition that a man
has a right and a free agency to sup
port and to secure, in connection with
this repeal or aftcrwkrds by an inde
pendent measure, as tho success-or Its
immediate repeal, the primary duty of
the hour, might at the time dictate a
sound flnaelal system, embracing the
coinage of silver on tin equality with
gold. In making this statement, ho
only repeated the declaration of the
Chicago platform, on which the Ameri
can people restored to the presidency
one of the strongest, ablest, purest and
most patriotic characters ever known
to American history. /
Uuuted the Plank.
Mr. Voorhecs at this point quoted
thi financial plank of the Chicago plat
form. and saying that the record did
not atop at this point. He quoted from
President Cleveland's letter of accept
ance. which he said was In no wise
modified or contradicted by the singu
larly able message delivered a few
days ago. He said that It contained In
four brief sentences 'every sound,
wholesome, enduring principle of fl-
njnee ever known In the history of the
most prosperous nation of earth. Who
dared deface the clear and explicit
word* which he read to charge that
their author was a. monometallist In
disguise, a believer ln the use of gold
and gold alone, but wearing,
for the sake of an election
to the presidency. a bimetal
lic mask. Hla fearless frankness in the
expression of his views on all public
quenaons without regard to their effect
upoa himself had long been conceded
by fnesvc and foe to bs the leading
<a**weterl*lc o( hi* mind He had
never recalled, retracted or explained a
single word of hla litter of acceptance
and It was Just as binding as when

was wllkng to stand or fall by bis fahh
In the truth and honor of Grover Cleve
land. and In bis well known fidelity
to pledges when one* they are made.
A Tribute to CarllaU.
But there waa another and exceed
ingly sensitive and powerful test of our
government, a credit which asserted It*
claim not only to the trust and admi
ration of the American people, but alto
to th* business confidence and respect
of every civilized nation benatb the
sun. Money was simply a medium for
the exchange of values; money was a
creature and congress ita creator. Gold
and Its alleged Intrinsic value went for
naught as a circulating m'dium unless
th* coin bore the stamp of the govern
ment—a scamp more powerful than th*
grasp of the lion's paw or the eagle's
claw In bestowing Ufa and activity to
the dead and otherwise uadcaa material.
The same official stamp on paper at
♦nc* ennobled them to an equality with
purchasing power, no matter how de
based or valueless the material may
have become aa commodities by sinister
or unwise legislation. It would doubt
leas sound strange to some can that
there were nine dlff, rent currencies
transacting the business of this coun
try. and, to a largs extent, the busi
ness of the world. So uniform in pur
chasing and debt paying power were
They; so ln harmony with each other

help tho Democratic party and tho coun
try tt such a stupendous mistake is to

Itatlo a Matter of Detail*
Continuing, Mr. Voortmes said that
such qusa'.tvns as ratio wore nutters of
detail, but the American people had de
clared that silver should not M de
monetized and contraction take the
place of monmetallism. Congress would
ettabhsb a fair ratio and neither of the
metals would he dismissed. No effort*
would be spared to effect an interna
tional agreement, but under no circum
stances would the laboring, debt paying
nine-tenth* of the American p-ople con
sent to the double debt of debtors by
destroying half of the constitutional
money. He would say to those urging
a single gold standard that the people
would tear down and annihilate such
an oppressive and destructive system of'
other features ef the suuailon il« funding
finance if It should ever be established.
Mr. Voorheea said there were- other
features of the situation demanding
consideration which did not result from
the Sherman act. The bitter assault
which bad been witnessed on the pres
ent administration to compel an enor
mous Issue of government bonds bad
not gone unheeded by the American
people, nor had the authors of the as
sault and those Interested In Its suc
cess escaped widespread and Intelligent
observation. By breaking the gold re
serve It was supposed the secretary
of the treasury would be under the
immediate necessity to Issue and sell
bonds to keep the reserve Intact. They
startled th* country and filled the
world with the cry that American gold
was running away from the silver-
blasted country, chased out by silver
money, and that there was no way to
lur* It back, except to bait plentlfully
wltb government bonds.
DM Doubts Duty.
The Sherman act was made do double
duty and charged with grave offenses
In which It had no. part. The gold
shipments ware to be 'accounted for as
part of the plan to sack the treasury,
which was to b* accompanied by a
concerted outcry from terror-stricken
business circles and from tbe whole
national banking system, that nothing
could restore conAdtnce and credit
save the Issuance of P000,000.000 of
bonds. He had no desire to assail the

The fact that tho amount of money

three months In the year by the pay
ment of pensions has excited the open
anc. bitter opposition of the great
money centres from the v,ery beginning
of our present pension system. Tho
charge now made of fraudulent pen

been, heard from the start, and had
had the Inspiration as ln former years.
That frauds were sometimes committed

true, and they -hould be Investigated.
Fraud was Incident to human affairs
aid from it there could be no complete
esoare. It was the question of money,
however, and not the question of fraud
which provoked the greatest wrath ln
certain quarters on the subject of pen
sions.
Another Hit For tits Banks.
Turning again to a discussion of the
national batffllng system, Mr. Voorheea
asserted that the banks were entering
on a final fight for a prolonged future
existence; they ere engaged at the
present at the preliminary to their
Waterloo. They Intensely realized that
the present supply of government bonds
for the banking purposes must be very
largely Increased within the next five
years or they would be forced to com

the theatre of action on which they
had so long appeared.
■Mr. Voorh-es took tola stand against
the existence the tncreuse or the per
petuation of the national debit for the
purpoe -? of national banking and called
upon the banking th* million* which

First. A sufficient volume of cur

on a practically specie basis.
Second. The absolute denial and de
struction of all power In the hands of
individual corporations or syndicates
to cause fluctuations in amount of dif
ferent currencies In circulation, thus
rendering panics and business.distress
Impossible for the future.
Third. Every dollar in circulation,
whether gold or silver, state hank or
United States notes, on a strict parity
and Interchangeable with every other
dollar, thus securing to the people the
benefits and aduantagexof both a state
currency and a national currency, cir
cuiting In harmony and uniformity all
the functions of money at home and
abroad.
Fourth, the setllsmont of the vexed
J ucstlon of allver money at once and
orever, by authorising It to form its
portion of specie basis required by the
constitution for every charter bunk In
the union; by recognising It when defin
