The house bill now before us, as well
as the substitute reported from the finance
committee, provides for the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman act, making no
provision for or recognition of silver coin-
age. The house bill is, in my judgment,
the more direct and manly mode of deal-
ing with the subject. Lt repeals the Sher-
man act, destroys silver without making
any apology for it, and makes provision
for disposing of the remains (the coined
silver) by making them redeemable in
gold, if this is necessary to preserve their
parity with that metal. It disposes of the
silver question and leaves nothing undone
that is demanded by the gold mono-metal-
lists. /
The empty declaration of the senate sub-
stitute in favor of bi-metallism, in the
same enactment that destroys bi-metal-
lism and establishes gold mono-metallism,
is so grotesquely inconsistent as to need
no comment.
I shall cast my vote against either or
both of these bills. It is generally agreed
that the Sherman act has had little or
nothing to do with bringing about the
present financial disturbance, and that the
exportation of gold attributed to it is for
the most part a natural and legitimate
outflow for the liquidation of a large
trade balance existing against the United
States, which is now and for some time,
notwithstanding the Sherman act, has
been rapidly returning for the purchase
of our agricultural and other products.
The legal tender treasury notes paid
out under that act for silver bullion,
amounting to about $50,000,000 each year,
has been a much needed accession to our
volume of circulation. Its operation in
this respect has been most beneficent.
This act has been made a Stalking-horse,
behind which the plans for the demone-
tization of Silver and the issuance of gold
bonds for the benefit of the National
banks have been perfected and pushed by
a band of reckless and unscrupulous con-
spirators aga'iin-st the peace, welfare and
prosperity .of Itfhe people of the United
States.
The president of the United States and
his secretary of the 'treasury are honest,
patriotic men, devoted to what they con-
ceive to be the best interests of the coun-
try, but they have been deceived, duped,
and imposed on, and their confidence be-
trayed by the bold, bad men, who on a
cold calculation of enormous profit to
themselves and their confederates, backed
by unlimited wealth, have been able to
dontrol the influences which have precip-
itated the present unhappy "monetary con-
diRilons upon the country.
Mr. President, the victory of Organized
capital against the people, if this bill shall
pass, will be a memorable one. But the
people have been taken unawares. They
have been deceived and betrayed. Sol-
emn pledges made to them have been
broken and trodden under foot. They will
never submit ho the domination of the
money Changers. The day the pending
bill becomes law, if it shall pass, will mark
a renewal of 'the contest, to be fought
to a finish. The supremacy of the Amer-
ican people in the administration and con-
trol of their own ■government will yet
be vindicated.

Times, scouts the idea that England, a
great creditor nation, owing nothing to
other nations, would ever consent to an
agreement for bi-metallism and thereby
reduce the value of the great debts due
from this and Other countries to England,

than gold. Mr. Gladstone knows if this

A decrease in the number of grains of
gold in the gold coin, or an increase in
the number of grains of silver in the
silver coin, or a decrease in the weight
of the gold and an increase in the weight
of the silver coin, would bring them to
parity. The gold eagle (ten-dollar piece)
as established in 1792, containing
grains of standard gold, was in 1834
duced to 258 grains of standard gold,
silver dollar established as the unit of
value in 1792, containing 416 grains of
standard silver, was in 1837 changed to a
dollar, the same we now have, of 412%
grains of standard silver.
It is no new thing to change the ratio
Of the metals to each other. Why can
we not change it now, and for con-
venience reduce the number of grains
In the gold coin, leaving the silver dollar,
as at present, with 412% grains of stan-
dard silver? Gold is overvalued about"
40 per cent as compared with silver and
other commodities, and a subtraction of
a part of this overvaluation, by reducing
its weight, would restore the proper
equities between debtors and creditors,
and raise the prices of all commodities
from their, depression to a fair conserva-
tive level, while producing parity between
the metals, as the party is pledged to do.
When congress possesses the power,
and the democratic party holds the ma-
jority to do, and do surely and well, that
which the American people have been
promised shall be done, shall the wishes
and demands of the people not be con-
sidered and some effort made to- comply
'with the promise? It seems not. I warn
democrats that the people will be heard
from later. We are told by the advocates
of this bill, or at least by the leading one=j
among them, that we must pass this bill
fend adjourn and go home; that nothing
piore iS needed to be done, except to pass
a bill already favorably reported provid-
ing for the issuance by the National banks
of $20,000,000 bank notes, which many be-
lieve will be locked up in their vaults as
soon as issued, where all the other money
in the country is hoarded instead of be-
ing put dn circulation.
No need, say they, to press tariff reform
and a repeal of the McKinley bill. True
it i's that manufacturers, producers of raw
material, importers and consumers alike,
a re vitally interested in knowing what
changes are to be made in the 'tariff, in
.order to intelligently and properly conduct
their business, which is languishing almost
to the point of paralysis for want of this
information. We are told that it is too
hot now, we must wait until the regular
session >in December next before taking
England, because she Is a great cred-
itor nation, and also Germany, who allies
herself with England, has always been
an immovable obstruction in the way of
an International agreement for bi-metal-
lism, and always will be, because gold
flowing into her coffers from all the na-
tions of the world is more valuable, will
buy more of the products ot labor the
scarcer and higher it is. If additional ev-
idence of England’s determination that
bi-metallism shall not be established in
the United States, if she can prevent it,
were needed, the recent action of the
British government in stopping silver
coinage in India except on government
account, the severest blow yet stricken
the silver interest, on the eve of the meet-
ing of this special session of congress
called to consider this subject, ought cer-
tainly to be conclusive.
We have no hope of an International
agreement. There is no idea entertained
anywhere that one is possible. We must
depend on ourselves if we expect ever to
have bi-metallism. Our people have de-
manded the restoration of gold and silver
coinage as they existed prior to 1873—both
free and on an exact equality at the mints
and before the law. In the language of
the distinguished senator from New York
(Mr. Hill), in his learned and able speech
delivered a few days ago in this body:
"‘‘Bi-metallism does not mean the stop-
page of further silver coinage while main-
taining our present silver currency in-
tact, but it means the free coinage of
silver and gold by the government either
under an International agreement or in-
dependently.
“The stoppage of further silver coinage,
but the maintenance of existing silver cur-
rency, accompanied by the free coinage of
gold, is not bi-metallism, but it is what
the famous French financier, M. Cernu-
schi, called ‘humped-back mono-metal-
lism,’ such as exists in France and Ger-
many today.”
This definition of the distinguished sena-
tor is an accurate and felicitous one,and is .
in strict accord with the popular signifi-
cation of the word “bi-metallism.”
The democratic party in the Chicago ;
platform, on which the present adminis-
tration came into power, pledged itself
to the people on this subject in the fol-
lowing emphatic language:
SILVER PLANK.
“We denounce the republican legislation
known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a
cowardly makeshift, fraught with possi-
bilities of danger in the future, which
should make all of its supporters, as well
as its author, anxious for its speedy re-
peal. We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic and exchange-
able value, or be adjusted through Inter-
national agreement,' or by such safeguards
of legislation as 1 shall insure the main-
tenance of the parity of the two metals,
and the equal power of every dollar at
fell times in the markets and in payment
of debts; and we demand that all paper
currency shall be kept at par with and re-
deemable in such coin. We insist upon
this policy as especially necessary for the
protection of the farmers and laboring
via^qps, they' first and most defenseless
Victims of unstable money arid :a tiuc.tuat-
tng currency.”
, ' In response to the solemn pledge given
in this platform, it is proposed by the
pending bill to repeal unconditionally the
only law authorizing the coinage of a
dollar of silver to be found on our statute
book, and in so doing to erect the single
gold standard, discarding and rejecting
silver. Pledged to bi-metallism, we pro-
pose to establish mono-metallism. Pledged
to the equal use of gold and silver, and
paper redeemable at par in the coins of
both metals, we deliberately falsify the
pledge by abolishing the coinage of silver
- and providing for that of gold alone. We
are driven by no necessity to thus violate
tne solemn promises of the democratic
party to the people. If they are thus vio-
lated and broken, the act is a purely vol-
untary one, and utterly without justifica-
tion or palliation.
There are well established precedents In
the history of this- government under
Which our platform pledges can be Surely
and safely redeemed. The free coinage
of silver as it existed prior to 1873, at
the present ratio, it is believed by the
great majority of the best thinkers in
this country, would in a very short time,
by bringing down the value of gold and
raising that of silver, bring these metals
together in substantial parity. Safeguards
of legislation, it is confidently believed,

hold of the subject. AU that these gentle-
men desire, if the pending bill passes, will
have been secured in the destruction of
silver and the inauguration of gold as
the crowned despot of our monetary sys-
tem. That accomplished, their labors are
finished.
It is all -they want, except that co-
gress 'sfLlall adjourn. The $50,000,000 of legal
tender treasury noites required under
the Sherman act each year to be paid out
for silver bullion, Which goes out into cir-
culatifon, and is (the only 'source of in-
crease in the volume of money to meet
increased demands from increased popu-
lation and business, will be cut off by the
passage of this 'bill; and 'to this extent
currency will be contracted, in addition
to the universal shrinkage inevitably to
occur from the adoption of the gold stand-
ard. The secretary of the treasury is re-
ported by -the daily papers of this city,
in interviews, as saying that the Country
needs no addition to its circulation,^ that
we have money enough, and that a^l we
need is confidence. The president, in his
message, makes but one recommendation,
and that is. to repeal the Sherman act.
The bankers, capitalists and gold-mong-
ers, Whose wealth is to be largely In-
creased if not doubled by the repeal of the
Sherman act, are using all their power
over merchants and the interior bankers,
resorting to every form of coercion. Print-
ed petitions, with printed letters of in-
structions, have been showered over the
country from New York and other East-
ern cities, (o be filled out with signatures
and forwarded to Washington for effect
upon members of congress. The pressure
through National banks,machine petitions,
the metropolitan press and the vast power
of the executive department of the govern-
ment for the passage of this bill is the
most tremendous ever known.
The house, unable to withstand it, has
succumbed, and the United States senate
stands today the only barrier between the
people and spoliation. Thrown into dire
distress and rendered utterly helpless by
a panic conceived, excited, produced and
manipulated by the New York National
banks and their co-conspirators in other
Eastern cities and in England for the pur-
pose of coercing their consent to the pass-
age of this bill, the people of the United
States have a right to expect congress to
protect them against the gigantic .com-
bination which is assailing them. Do sena-
tors doubt the existence of this combina-
tion? I call to the stand Hon. John G.
Carlisle, secretary Of the treasury, who
in 1878, on the floor of the house, of which
he was then a member, in a speech of
remarkable power, used the following lan-
guage. It has been heard before, but
will bear repetition:
I know that the world’s stock of prec-
ious metals is none too large, and I see no
reason to apprehend that it ever will be
so. Mankind will be fortunate indeed if
the annual production of gold and silver
coin shall keep pace with the annual in-
crease of population, commerce and in-
dustry. According to my views of the
subject, the conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and in Europe to
destroy by legislation and otherwise from
three-sevenths to one-half of the metallic
money of the world is the most gigantic
crime of this or any other age. The
consummation of such a scheme would ul-
timately entail more misery upon the hu-
man rece than all the wars, pestilences
and famines that ever occurred in the his-
tory of the world.
The absolute and instantaneous destruc-
tion of half the entire movable property
of the -world, including houses, ships, rail-
roads, and other appliances for carrying
on commerce, while it would be felt more
sensibly at the moment, would not pro-
duce anything like the prolonged distress
and disorganization of society that paust
inevitably result from the permanent anni-
hilation of one-half the metallic money of
the world.
Mr. President, this testimony of Mr.
Carlisle needs no comment. He denuonc-
es the conspiracy, formed “here and in Eu-
rope,” to destroy by legislation or other-
wise from three-sevenths to one-half of
the metallic money of the world as the
greatest crime of this or any other age.
The same men or their successors, anima-
ted by the purpose which moved the con-
spirators of 1873 to demonetize silver are
the conspirators of today, seeking the re-
peal of the Sherman bill, and, through
that, the destruction of silver as a money
metal. They are doubtless amused to
hear gentlemen who vote for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Sherman bill, * and
thereby vote against the coinage of an-
other dollar of silver, claim to be bi-metal-
lists. They know that the power which
destroyed silver in 1873, and is able to
sweep it from the statute book in 1893,
can and will never be overcome for the
establishment of bi-metallism by anything
short of a financial and political revolu-
tion.
Those who cast such votes, honest and
conscientious as I admit them to be, will
have the consolation (if it be a consola-
tion) of knowing that they have done all
in their power to strike down silver as a
money metal, to banish bi-metallism from
our system and to establish gold as our
.sole primary metallic money; tor our sil-
ver coin is, by the bill passed by tne
house and now before us, in legal effect,
made redeemable in gold.
I make no apology, Mr. President, for
reading here an extract from the very
able speech of Hon. William H. Hatch
of Missouri, recently made in the house of
representatives, giving valuable informa-
tion on the subject of the present panic,
its origin, etc.:
And if you desire to know the present,
direct and most potential cause of the
present panic and money famine, it can
be traced directly to the action and de-
clared purposes of the bankers of New
York city and other large money centers
of the government. And shrewd, astute
and able, as they arrogantly claim to be,
their babbling and bullying declarations
furnish the most damaging testimony
against them.
I will read some extracts from a. great
New York paper, one which is at the very
head of New York journalism—my friend
from New York (Mr. Cummings) will not
controvert that statement—a paper that
claims to have the courage of its own
convictions, a paper independent in all
things, consistent in but few (laughter),
though claiming to be in the main demo-
cratic. I read from the New York Sun
of Friday, April 28. After reciting some
of the incidents of the enjoyable confer-
ence between Secretary Carlisle and the
bankers, it says:
“As the secretary outlined the policy
of the government, it was that nothing
would be done that in any way would
reard or check the determination of the
Cleveland administration concerning the
repeal of the Sherman law. The secre-
tary went over the currency laws of the
country, and said that they were in bad
shape, and needed revision. He said the
revision should start with the Sherman
law. There is a determination, also, to
show to the miners of silver the evil
effects of the Sherman" law on their for-
tunes.
“President Cleveland’s advisers have
told him that ihe only way to induce
the Western and Southwestern senators
and congressmen to consent to the repeal
of the Sherman law, is to demonstrate
to their constituents that they are losing
money every day tbat this law is in
operation. The missionary work in that
direction has been started by a number
of the banks in the solid communities
of the East. They are daily refusing Pealed the Bland act of 1878, which par-
credits to the South, Southwest, and
West, fearing the effects of the Sherman
law.
“The Chicago bankers, it was said, are
carrying out the same line of policy.
Secretary Carlisle, in his talk with the
bank presidents, made his stand very

It is to be heroic treatment all
the way through on the Sherman law,
and possibly by the next session of con-
gress the silver mine owners and the
adherents of silver in the senate and
house will be ready to consent to a re-
peal of the law.
“The bank presidents, replying to Sec-
retary Carlisle, cordially informed him
that they. would be ready at all times
to co-operate with him in the successful
administration of the financial policy of
the government. ~"

(Laughter.)
■ The New York Sun of Saturday, April
29, in its financial column, says:
“The conference yesterday between
Secretary Carlisle and a number of the
bankers of this city was of great value
in that it resulted in a definite under-
standing of the financial policy of the
administration, as indicated in this col-
umn last Tuesday. That policy is to
interpose no obstacle to the natural opera-
tions and logical results of the Sherman
law. In a word, the administration pro-
poses to allow the people to reap the re-
wards of their own folly.”
Was my friend from New York (Mr.
Cummings) in the city of Washington
on the first day of May last?
Mr. Cummings—I was.
Mr. Hatch—I thank the gentleman, for
giving me that information, because It
furnishes a key to the whole situation.
The New York Sun. In its Washington let-
ter, published May 1, 1893. Says---
Mr. Cummings—Will the gentleman per-
mit an interruption?
Mr. Hatch—Yes, sir.
Mr. Cummings—The gentleman’s state-
ment is correct, but his assumption is
erroneous. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hatch—That remark is simply
evoked by the gentleman’s modesty.
(Laughter.) I will read this statement:
“The statement of Mr. Carlisle to the
New York bankers makes it clear that,
while Mr. Cleveland works in congress,
the bankers will be expected to work, not
in New Y"ork only, but throughout the
country, doing their utmost to pinch busi-
ness everywhere in the expectation of
causing a money crisis that will affect
congress powerfully from every quarter.
There is an explicitness in these declara-
tions and a boldness in making them
that would be astounding were not the
country too familiar with Mr. Cleveland
and his methods to be astonished by any-
thing from him.”
The circulation and Importance of this
paper warrant the assertion that Mr.
Carlisle read these statements. I have
watched in vain for any denial or even
modification of them. On the contrary,
proofs as strong as holy writ are accumu-
lating to justify and prove their correct-
ness.
Now, my friends, there is the beginning
of this money crisis.
The publication quoted by Mr. Hatch
has been quoted from New York to San
Francisco and has never been contro-
verted or denied. The proofs piled up
in this debate, both in the senate and
house, in support of the truth of the prop-
osition, that this panic was deliberately
brought about for the purpose of placing
the people in duress, in order to compel
their assent to the repeal of the Sherman
bill and their acceptance of all its conse-
quences in the revolutionary and radical
changes in our monetary system," is so
conclusive as to leave no room for doubt.
I take the liberty of using here again
a quotation from the Philadelphia Press,
cne of the great newspapers of the coun-
try, which has been adverted to here and
in the other house, as follows:
“The New York banks for several days
have been endeavoring to bring a home
influence on United States senators to
induce them to vote for the repeal of the.
July silver law.
“To this end correspondents of the New
York bqnks in the West and South have
been told that they need not expect to
get money from New York until the
purchasing clause was repealed, and the
Southern and Western bankers have been
strongly urged to write to their senators
and to insist that they work and vote
for immediate repeal. This movement
has given rise to the recent feeling in
New York that the silver majority in the
senate could be overcome, as the influence
of the banks of the metropolis, w'hen
concentrated on any object, is regarded
as invincible. There is a feeling that the
strain is not as great as it was, and im-
provement is hoped for. Some anxiety
exists as to the action of savings bank
depositors when the thirty and sixty day
limit expires next month. The require-
ments of money for the crops will also
be a potent factor, but no one is dis-
posed to contemplate future conditions,
especially if they are likely to be un-
pleasant.”
Mr. Vance—If lit would nolt interrupt the
senator from Texas, while he is on 'that
point I will state ‘that I received a letter
this mornimg from a very respectable bus-
iness gentleman in Salisbury, N. C., in-
closing a letter from a New York banker,
which is very sho'nt, and with bis permis-
sioin I should like to' read it.
Mi'. Coke—Certainly.
Mr. Vance—The 'letter Is as follows:
“No. 3 Broad Street, New York, August
31, 1893.—Dear Sir: We aire obliged to you
for your favor of the 29th instant offer-
ing loan on your mills—
This gentleman is connected with a large
cotton mill at Salisbury—
“whi'dh appears to be very good. It is
not in our Tine, however, and we don’t
know any parities here who could handle
the paper. We 'hardly think that the times
have sufficiently improved to warrant ne-
gotiations.
“The senators from our country are not
looked upon as promoiters of the general
welfare. If their stand represents the
views of your people on financial matters,
it will be very difficult for you to secure
any accommodation from capitalists in
this section until there is a decided
change. Yours truly,
“E. D. Shepard & Co.
“I. H. Foust, Esq.,
“Secretary, Salisbury, N. C.”
Mr. Coke—I take the following from the
New York Sun Of April 29: *
“Let us point to anoher fact and we are
done. Never before have the large banking
institutions of Chicago and the West
ordered their gold in such large quanti-
ties direct from Europe, and in this fact
is found one reason why our bankers are
puzzled, over the anomaly that although
all these millions are coming to the coun-
try they experience little or no relief
therefrom. The other resacn, gentlemen, is
in order to foAe the repeal of the Sher-
man act and to quickly establish your
power over the plain people of this land,
you first sent out of the country $110,000,-
000 of the peole’s currency in order to
assist the Rothchilds to demonetize silver
in Austria and elsewhere, and then let
it remain there to teach the West and
South an 'object lesson,’ as the president
called it, until you found it was necessary
to recall it in order to save your
house from destruction. Now, you have
not only taught thq West and South an
object lesson, but yourselves one as well,
and you can be sure of it.”
These quotations from the leading papers
of the country could be extended greatly
beyond the time I can give to' them, all
establishing the existence of thte great
conspiracy.
Mr. President, when the Sherman act
was on its passage through the senate I
voted and spoke against it, believing it a
bill that should not pass. That bill re-
Bland act of 1878, which par-
tially remonetized silver, and provided
for the coinage of not less than two nor
more than four million legal tender silver
dollars monthly. It is now proposed to
repeal the Sherman act, without restoring
the Bland act or in any other way pro-
viding ’ for free silver coinage;
