Mail loa anil Us Armond Attacked III Hill DollWer lirleirvd to Krjau'a Ira dlullnu Mi-Clull III Arivlsatl Gold Iulo erats Against tlio Mfmurs. Washington, Deo. 12. Mr. Over street, iu churge of the fiaaucial bill, opened the debate in the house. Representative Ovonstreet iu opening, said iu putt: Tlio. present parity depend entirely upon niieu declarations mid tfuaranteeii, bat its iiiaiuti'iiauc and enforcement rests with the Judgment and caprice of the secretary of the treasury who, by a single ordar directing the use o silver hi the discharge of our obliga tions, may completely destroy the parity, and shift the standard to the motal so used. It H-rms far better to attempt a proper regula timi of the question by clear and permanent stii u e rather than depend upon ocraaionnl declarations by the government of its inten tion It is far bettor to end the matter by a public Ian-, which shall be plain and nuequivo cul, lather than rely upon proposals of what may or shall be done at some future date, or Imcvc so dangerous an option within the con trol or ono man. whether he be the president or h.: Hitanciul adviser. 1 lie p iv-.cn t standard of value in this conn try is gold, anil has been so recognised to practice for more than half a century. Tlw tremendous increaee of silver coin un der the oiH-ration of the laws of 18?:) and ISSM created a doubt as to the ability of the govern ment to maintain the parity of all its money. Prior to IhT.I, when the gold standard was adopted, theru hud been issued by the govern ment only 8,uiti, its silver dollars. From Feb. 11, 1S7S, when the reooinagj of the silver dol lar was authorised, to Nov. 1, ISiil. when such coinage was discontinued, there was coined by the government j.',A7.37il silver dollars. Upon this last dato there was not a silver dol lar in circulat'ou whose face value equaled its intrinsic, value. The difference between the Intrinsic value and face value was a govern ment obligation, so established by congres sional act. The ability of the government to boar this burden was never questioned. The mora moiuy obligation imposed by the law created no acriou-t cmbarraMiient. It was the prin ciple involved, coupled with the repeated ef forts by a Very considerable number of the people of th country to establish absolute free coinage of silver, which shook public confidence and produced the fear that a change of the monetary standard would re sult. If the Uv:d standard today is the gold standard, under the act of 187J, a positive statute to that elfoct can do no harm. If, on the other hand, there is any reasonable doubt it ,-houUl be dispelled by statute plaiu and clear iu it- terms. When certainty sh ill take the place of doubt, and the integrity of our credit be as fixed as the honor of the nation', the national debt can readily bu refunded at lower interest rates, and luture loans negotiated with case upon better terms than ever before. The rapia de velopment of American trade and its vast ex phUsiou, bringing our people into close rela tions with the loading nations of the world, makes it iiuperativo that tlio standard of value in which settlements lire made shall bu tho best known to the highest civilization, and shall safely appeal to intelligent and suc cessful experience. Resent events, shaped by causes beyond our control, bearing obliga tions which national honor requires shall be courageously discharged, open new fields for American statesmanship. Channels of trade yet unknown to Ameaicmi enterprise, and avenues of commerce yet to welcome American products will surely result. Mich conditions emphasize the necessity for a standard of value which shall remain firm throughout the vicissitudes of competitive trade. The, proposition to allow national banks to issue circulation to tho par value of the bonds deposited for their security, is neither new nor partisan. It ha been recommended by four presidents and five s -cretarnwof the treasury, and bills containing such provision have been Introduced iu congress, and sup ported by members of both political parties. It is 1 11 1 in ly consistent with the present banUing system. The same reasons which justify thu issue of HJ per cent of the bonds, will justify on is-cuo to the par value of the bonds. The only objection advance 1, asido from that of dogmatic atta k, generally, upon banks, is that itprmtts too large an increase of the volume of circulation and threatens an infla tion. Bat it is unfair to compare the amount jHJss.b.e under the proposed bill wttn the iimount of bank notes now in circulation. The lack of profit upon bank note circulation, be cause of the tax, has reduced such circulation far below the amount ever expected, and such reduction can be creditably charged to a con traction which was e qually unexpected. The proper comparison is between the amount possible under the present amendment, which would b) but u luiwr cent increase, an amount which can be easily absorbed by the business of the country and utiliz-Kl in ns many differ ent money centres as there are national banks. The repeal ot the tax upon national bank notes, und t'.i'.i substitution or a tax upon bun,: fr.t.icli'iM'i. as measun-d by their capital, surplus, and undivided profit-., are proposed in a spirit of fairness, and fora just distribu tion o the burden of the tax. The larger banks will pay the tax in the same degree us the smaller bunks, while the amount of reve nue will be practically unchanged. In the course of his speech Mr. Khaf rotli (bilverite, Colo.) interrupted to asit if the bill would not result in con tiaetiiitr tue curreucy to the extent of the .!-ll1l,.H),'K)i) in silver impounded "it would not,'' replied Mr. Over fctreet, "because lor eveiy bilver dollar which noes into the treasury a gold dollar will ko out into circulation."

Mr. Macldox (Dem., Ga.) was tho first 8eaker in opposition to the bill, lie ferritin to former Speaker lieed's New orl; speech advising the immediate en actment of Kold Htiiudued legislation be fore some blanch of tlio government got away from the Republican party, he Kiid: "Tho faithful understand that thin legislation must be enacted at onco or not ut ail." if gold was tho "existing standard " as contended, it was so by the unlawful usurpation of the executive ollieers of ollicers of the treasury. The treasury, under the bill, he pre dicted, would be raided. Tho "bill would convert every obligation of the treasury into a void obligation, and would compel the government to sell millions of gold to the amount of 2." per cent of all tlio outstanding notes of whatever character. He argued that under tho bill banks with 11,000,000 capital, now required to deposit bonds equal to a third of their capital in tho treasury were required to deposit only li'50,000 in bonds, enabling them to con tract or expand the currency at will.

For himself, tie said, he was proud to Bay that he was obeyiug order the orders of the peoule of his district trying to put the laws of the country into harmony with their opinions The pending bill was a compromise representing the united wisdom of all. lie (Dolliver) did not waut his record ami past follies to be brought un against him. He had voted for the Shertnau act, in 1SU0, an act which ho now regarded m a pieoe of unutterable stupidity. Continuing, Mr. Dolliver said he be lieved that the result of the campaign of ISittf settled the silver issue. Iu ISlHi the cry of Bryan, he said, was for more money. Money was scarce. It was hoarded. The day after the elec tion it came out from its hiding. "Are you willing now," interrupted Mr. Simms (Teun.), "that the mints shall bo opened to silver if au interna tional agreement could lie obtained?" "No, sir," rpelied Mr. Dolliver; "I have had my last whirl with silver. I have been humbugged for tho List time." Mr. Dolliver said that the cry had been for more money. In three years of Republican administration $100,000,000 had been added to tho Yoluuio of the currency, moro mouey than could have been coined by the mints in ten years if the mints had been opened to silver. Mr. Dolliver recalled Mr. liryan's prophecy that the gold standard could not be enacted without a universal fall of prices. "Is there a man lu this chamber," he asked, "who will rise iu his plaoe and say that Mr. Bryan kuow what he was talkiug about?" Not a Democrat rose. Mr. Dolliver paused, reiterated his question, aud then resumed. "It is then confessed that iu a ques tion which goes to the heart of the con troversy Mr. Bryan lacked wisdom." He also called attention to Mr. Bryan's prediction that wages would fail aud men would ba thrown out of employ ment. Yet at tho end of three years of Republican administration uuder the gold standard there was not an indus trious uiau iu the country without em- Eloymout. Those three years, said ho, ad resolved last foars of the Republi can party as to tho wisdom of enacting gold legislation. Mr. McUlellau (N. Y.) opposed the bill. "I do not wish it understood," said he, "that I advocato the present sys tem of bauk uoto currency. The first direct consequence of the enactment ol this bill, he said, will bo a very great raise iu tho market price of government bones. Its enactment also would result iu the extinction of tho present bauk note curreucy. He argued that tho im pouudiug of the treasury notes nnd the United States notes iu the terms of the bill would result in a contraction of the currency, amounting to over $205,000, 000, and require an issue of bonds to that amount at au anuual cost of $3, 000,000, or a total contraction of the cur rency of nearly $ 10,000,000 and a re duction of the per capita to 1U.21. In conclusion he appealed to the sound money Democrats iu the house not to vote for the bill. Mr. DoArmond (Mo.) followed in op position to tho bill. Replying to Mr. Dolliver, he said the Democrats had uot boon overborne in 18SH5 in the conflict of reason, but the Republican party had won by summoning to their aid the cor rupt uud tremendous power of money aud corporations, lie charged the Re publicans with deceiving the people in lSlifi. They were bimetallists then. If they wore honest thon they must be dis honest u-iw; if houest now, dishonest then. The change of the bonds from coin to gold bonds, he said, would make a free gift of 1100,000,000 to the bondholders. The bill would create a bank trust. Ho predicted that this measure would overwhelmingly defeat tho Republican party in 1!)00. When the people's vio tory was won next fall said he in con elusion, it must not be necessary to go to tho " ineclad cottage at Gautou, O., to otfer congratulations but beyond the Mississippi to that modest home in Lincoln, Neb., where resided that great and staunch friend of the people (Dem ocratio applause.) Mr. Greene (Pa.), then announced the death of his colleague, the late Representative Ernientrout, of Penn sylvania, nnd as a further mark of re spect the house adjourned.

How to Aid the Poor Without Pan perlilntr Them. Tho difllcult problem of assisting the poor without pauperizing them seems to havo been successfully mot by tho Dutch. A model in miniature exists of a com munity whero thoso who have lost their hold on prosperity nro restored ot least a semblance of self support, family ties are presorved. education is afforded tho young, and, in short, tho utmost posslblo is mado of tho most unpromising nmtcrliil. Tho poor colonies of Holland, four in number, nro not, ns might bo supposed, a government Institution, though nt on time co-operation with tho government was attempted which resulted quite in juriously to the undertaking. These col onics owo their origin entirely to a Society of Beneficence (" Mautschnppy van Veldn dighcld") organized in 1818 to meet tho exigencies of destitution entailed on Hol land In common with tho rest of Europe by tho wars of the Napoleonic era. Tho necessitous individual forced to en ter on life as n beneflcinry of tho society is provided with a homo for himself nud his family; nl.-o with tho iiiimcdiato necessi ties of living and, above all, with work, from the proceeds of which ho begins to repay in small weekly installments the advances iniiilo to him.

A valuable contribution to each household is tho ewo sheep provided by the colony and also to lo paid for by duo economy. Its milk, equal to goat's milk in quality, supplies food, and its wool is woven Into garments. Tho family, it will bo observed, is nl ways maintained in its ontlrcty, tho im portance of tho family life being, ns is known, ever highly esteemed in Holland, whilo the largo infusion of Jewish blood into tho Dutch is believed to have also a strong and favornble influence upon the system.

One Man Who Thinks It ft Very Pe. cnllar Operntlnn. I saw nn houest farmer trimming nn osnge hedge over In Henry county. It is a very peculiar operation, nnd I listened to It with a great deal of Interest. I say listened because the Interesting feature of trimming a hedge consists not so much in what he says. The honest farmer had a crooked knife on the end of a hoc han dle, lie stuck this into the hedge nnd gave it a jerk. Then ho said: "Ah:" Then he jerked again, nnd down came the hedge switch. Then he snid: "Ah-h!" Then he took hold of the withered switch nnd drew It from tho hedge. Then he put his thumb In his mouth and stood on one foot nnd said: "Ah-h-h-h!" Then he once more unto the breach, dear friends, made nnother prod with the hook nnd snid loudly: "Gee whiz!" Then ho jerked at a wicked looking branch with his hook and roared: "Great snakes!" Then he pulled out a crooked branch so full of thorns that it made your back ache to look nt it, nnd when he stumbled over It nnd It wrapped itself around his legs he stood still for a second, then drop ped his hook, lifted his hands to heaven aud screamed: "Oh, bloody murder!" Tho next rake he made he brought a whole top of a hedge plant with liv or six branches right down on his back. Then he threw his hedge hook clear across' h ten acre field, opened his mouth thrice ia a voiceless gasp, spread his arms out nnd fell down tlat on his face, dug his toes Into the turf, drummed on tho turf in ngony with his clinched fists and wniled like a storm of wrath: "Oh, dad essentially, take him off! Somebody take him off!" When ho got up, ho said I seemed in terested In hedge trimming, and he would teach nie how to do it myself. I said no, I wouldn't try to learn I would like to know how, but I was too awfully lazy. Bu.liugton Hawkeye. A King's none MIxainK.
