BKFORE THE VOTE. "" ' Reed Makes an Eloquent Piea cor the Adoption of the Resolution. Washington, Feb. 14. Although i was known that an attempt would Ix made today to pass the- resolution authorizing the issue of 3-per cent gol bands In the house, the attendance oi the floor was not large when the speak called the house to order at 11 clock. This was probably duo to tlr fact that many members suiposed tin house would meet at noon as usual Despite the small attendance, however there was mudh excitement on the floor Wilson, chairman of the ways an meani committee, who opened the de bate, gautloned the house ,at the very outset that unless line debate could bi restricted to the resolution from th ways and means committee to the ex luslon of all partisanship, it would Impossible to vote intelligently on tin question at its conclusion. Wilson then proceeded to carefully tate the case. lie said there was m arch of revenues in the treasury. A revlous operation of the treasury hat ;ei3uHed, he said. In the United Stntei xchanging Its own bomLi for Its owr old, and now Secretary Carlisle had lone What Secretary Sherman did, tin and again, when he was refunding the public debt -"he hal purchased gold li ther markets than our own. Hopkins, Republican, paid if the st:iU rient Wilson ma le had been true, tho. coin was really as good ax gold ar meant the same thing, why had not the president to)d the capitalists so? " pposo this resolution because It wll1 my Judgment destroy the credit o he United States. In future It wuuh' necessary to put the word goUi Into every ibond. The secret loan wa negotiated for 'higher rates than any lvilixl country was paying on tit- da!.t, higher, . even, than bankrun. Egypt, little- Norway, or any otht country." Livingston created an amusing diver sion by sending to the clerk's duuk and having read, amid roars of laugh er, extracts from Hoods poem, "The Golden Ass," or "The Golden Bull.' Vow this is poetry: VVo Knjish John with his pickets full 'lfien at war by land and water: Whl.e )e-f and mutton and other meal Were almost as df-ar as motiv-y to eat And farmers reaped golden harvests ot wheat At the Lord knows wh-it pr quarU-r." And concluding with the well-know lines of moral beginning, 'Gold, gold, gold: Rright and yellow, hard and cold. Heavy to get and litfht to hold, Hoardod and bartered, bought bjk! old Hatch read amid much demonstra tion a letter addresred by ex-Grvvemoi Proi tor Ktiott, of Kentucky, to Senato-Bla'-kburn, In which Mr. Knott c-harac '.prized the pondln-r proposition a th "In insolent demand of the g ddltes." "They do not f'-m to want to leave js a hreaftr. Whenever the govern r.ent ajrreea to pay goH, ijver If doomed for aJ) eternity. Ai Ju!ge Forbes said to Johnny Moore, 'Good bye, world, howdy, hell.' " '"Pho isue has come," said Eryan, of Nebraska; "you have got to meet this proposition. On these questions we find the Democrats of the East and the Re- publicans of the East locked, and pro ceed to carry'out their policy wlUhout reference to the rest of the country But if they do that, they must expect that on the principle of Belf-preserva' lion the rest of the country will drop parly lines and unite to preserve their homes and welfare." Reed arose. . Instantly the Itum of voices ceased, and a hush fell on the house. "Mr. Speaker," he began, "that doctrine of the union of the south and west has been preached before, and by prophets Whose Inspiration losUS 'ong or than that of tho gentleman from Nebraska (Dryan). Cut It lhas been a failure. It always will be a failure. We not only send our proparty West, but we send our children there, and no man who . crosses from East to West can fall to be struck by the fact that there la after all a unity of sentiment between the two sections of the coun1 try that no language will ever blot out or destroy. The Southern, and Northern Democrats may not be able to live to. "eth?;. I am glad they are not able to live together. Hut I say to jfou that alio Republicans of the East and West, and of the North and South, tiavj fouui som.; method of living together. f.nd they will continue It." "GontlR.Tjen, we are at liberty to pay he bonds In something besides the equivalent of gold, but whether we are "r not, tihe fart remains that urged (n by Inexorable law, we have thus far paid In gold or Its equivalent, .ind very itrnn In the nous believes we .'ihall do so ia the future. It Is not proposed," continued Ped, "to re .luce the rate of Interest provided n this contract, provided we make th liorsls sold 'payable In goid.' That word Is practlcnlly there now, as every onf asrrecs. This resolution does not. In volve the establishment of a policy It is pimply action on a single trail a tlon of tho government." The dt'liate was closed by Wilson, who admitted that the contract made Uy the secretary of the treasury con tained very tiard terms for the govern ment, but lie believed the terms to br the best that could ba obtained. But congress could, toy givintr the secretary authority to write In the bond wliat the contracting parties thought should there; ali'hou'Yh all agreed the fcnrrd would be redeemed In gold, and save the tax-payers $500,009 a year.
