a silver substitute
Action Taken by the Senate
Finance Committee.
FREE COINAGE INSTEAD OF TARIFF
The
Sill Identical With That Passed
Saturday Sliver Republicans
Surprised.
Washington, Feb. 4. The finance
committee of the senate agreed to report
for the tariff bill a substitute providing
for the free coinage of Eilver. The sub
stitute waa suggested by Senator Vest
and agreed to by a majority of one, Sen
ator Jones, of Nevada, voting with the
democrats for the substitute, and all re
publicans present voting against it.
Wolcott, of Colorado, the only republican
. absentee, was recoded as voting against
the substitute. Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, the only democratic member
not present, was recorded as voting for
it.
The substitute agreed to is in the
exact words of the silver substitute for
the bond bill which passed the senate
Saturday. It provides for the free coin
age of eilver at the ratio of 16 to 1, di
rects the immediate coinage into stand
ard dollars of the silver seigniorage in
the treasury, accumulated by purchases
made the Sherman act; prohibits the
issuance of National bank notes of
smaller denominations that $1 ; directs
the secretary of the treasury to redeem
greenbacks and treasury notes in either
gold or silver exclusively, at the option
of the .secretary, and to reissue the
greenbacks.
The meeting ot the committee did not
last to exceed half an hour, and waa de
void of special features beyond offering
and adopting the substitute. The re
publicans brought up the tariff bill and
expressed a desire to get it out of the
committee in some shape. When Vest
proposed the silver substitute it was 're
marked that the senate had alreadv
been through one silver fight this ses
sion, and the belief was expressed that
another contest could avail little or
nothing. When, however, the vote was
taken and the result made known, the
republicans made no effort at delay.
A COMPLETE SURPRISE!.
Finance Cotnmittee's Report I'nfavar
ably Kecelved by Republicans.
Washington, Feb. 4. The finance
committee's report proved a complete
surprise to the silver republicans and
was unfavorably received by them.
They immediately began a movement to
have the two propositions, tariff and
silver, separated and will generally sup
port Quay's motion to this effect. The
silver republicans expressed themselves
as follows :
Mitchell (Or.) It is a democratic
move to defeat the tariff. I won't vote
for it.
Pettigrew I am against . it. You
might just as well try to put the ten
commandments on any bill that comes
into the senate.
Carter The bill will be recommitted
and ought to be with instructions to re
port the tariff and silver propositions
separately.
Clark The committee's work looks to
me like boyish play.
Warren I am not for it ; it ia not in
the interest of silver.
Mantle I am a silver man and may
vote for the substitute. However, I will
not feel obliged to do so, if it becomest
apparent as the matter progresses that
the substitute is intended for no other
purpose th an to beat the tariff bill.
Perkins I voted consistently for the
silver substitute for the bond bill in ac
cordance with the wishes of my consti
tuents, and even went to the extent of
opposing all amendments offered to de
feat it, but I do not consider myself
under obligation to' support a measure so
evidentally intended for the purpose of
defeating tariff legislation. The tariff
bill is an emergency measure, and the
revenue it provides for is needed for the
support of the government.
Pritchard I am a silver republican,
in favor of a tariff as well as eilver legis
lation, hence feel it my duty to oppose
this substitute.
It is asserted that all the democrats
and populists will vote against Quay's
motion. If this be true the motion can
not carry, and the contest will come di
rectly upon the substitute. Some "sound
money" democrats are inclined to sup
port Quay's motion, but most of them
take the position that they vote against
the motion as a means of killing the
tariff bill.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm I began to

which Chamberlain's Pain Balm po
sesses I have never noticed in any other

great value for rheumatism . and lame
