posed to the adoption of the resolution
on the ground that it was toopreeipitate.

olution might be modified so as to sim
ply announce it to be the purpose of the

to an associated press reporter : "There
is no doubt the sense of the committee
is in favor of the free coinage bill. The
temper of the committee is to report the
free coinage bill to the house at an early
date. It will be a general free coinage
bill, and in my opinion, such a bill will
nass the house.
