Congress Harping on the Two Repeal
Bills.
Washington, Sept. 29.—1n the senate
today Mr. Cameron, of- cuusylvauia.
presenud a petition from Philadelphia
manufacturers asking legislation to re
tain the protective tariff and the iu- (
togrity of silver as a money metal. He
said the signers represented $75.000,- :
000 in capital and a yearly product of
$150,000,000.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Harris, democrat, of Tennessee,
spoke against it. He declared it prac
tically meant a gold l standard, as there
after silver would only be used as fmo
tional currency and he favored the coin
age of all American silver; but hoped
Mr. Sherman would join him in re-1
habilitating the Bland Allison act, and
going back to that amount of coinage,
if not more.
Mr. Sherman said he believed thoj
continued purchase of silver, either
under the Blaud-Allison act or the act
of IStHI would eveutuauy force gold
from circulation and silver would be
the only standard. Free coinage would
have the same result. So he favored
the abandonment of the system.
