Mr Etlloe, (Hem , Teno,), endeavored
to side truck the bank tax bill by
moving to consider bills on the private
cuiendar, but this was defeated. There
upon the debate on thnt meaur.ro was
resumed,
Mr. Broil Ul (Rep., Pcnna.), was the
fii.- t (.weaker. He imposed the bill. He
Contended that our national hanking
system was the best ever known in the
country. To disturb it now by repeal
ing the statute imposing 10 per cent,
tax on stale bnnk certificates, to the
end that every slate might put in the
fiehl competitors of the national banks
in supplying currency to the people,
would expose us to evil's whose extent
was beyond human calculation, The
rolurii toonr ancient slate bank regime
would open tho wv to n recurrence
of the mischiefs incident to that sys
tem. In conclnding liis speech and refer
in lo our present currency, Mr. Bro
sitis said: ''Such n currency would
bless any nation wise enough to create
and maintain it. Ou such a currency
no stall smnn should lay nis hand in
violence. The peoplo of tie United
btates enjoyed the luxury of such a
currency lor bo many years, and it has
had ao conspicuous an agency in build
ing up the greatness of the Republic,
that they will not willingly forego its
benefits for any inferior system They
will not imitate tho folly of the man
who requested thiB epitaph to be en
graved upon his tombstone:
"I was well,
1 wished to bo hotter,
I toon physic,
And here I lie."
A'speech was made by Mr. Henderson

per cent, tax lav and ' y Mi ssrs. Swiin

will say:
It is a sign of cheering import that
in finished business, represented by

litis been less decrease since th i strike
began than mi ,'ht haVr- been expeoted.
There havi been strong hopes thU
week that tho great miner..' strik

but an ( ff rt to enlist governor aa ar

of traffic and acts of violenc, and
concerted efforts of operators will now
be made to start their mines with new
hands.
Meanwhii ' the cans'qunt interrup

The stoppage of iron furnaces between
the Allegheny Mountains and the Miss

iness cannot increas in volume under
any circutnstancs, and y.t payments
through all clearing houses for the
week show a decrease of only 80.8 por
cent compared with last year.
Though a large number of works are
idle, the demand for pro lusts is not
what might be expected either in
volume or in urgency. Tho output of
iron and steel has been suddenly and
sharply reduced, but the rednc d
supply seems about as sufficient for
the demand as it WSJ a month ngo.

men, a coal operator of Pittsburg, is
stopping at the Wellington. He
ii of the opinion that tho min
ers' strike will never ba set
tled by any agreement between
the operators and men, Tuo object of
the miners' loaders iu Inaugurating the
Strike was to foroe tho mine owners
all over the country to recognize the
minors' organlaitlou. It was not so
much a strike for prices as for this
principle. The mino owners will never
com" to an Agreement for the roason
that such a thing is impossible,
He is of the opinion th it thi strike
will end itsdf naturally when tho msu
are compelled hy their nsOSSSitlsi lo
return to work. In the meantime tbe
strike is the best thing that Could have
happened to the coal mine owners, for
they are getting rid of all their eurplus
