Mr. President, I fancy that those who
are shoutiug over the action of the House
of Ilepresentatives in passing the bill
to repeal this law without conditions,
and are glorifying the President for call
ing us together and giving us a message
containing no recommendation except
to repeal this law I fancy they little
know- what is before then). The doctrines
of Prince Bismarck and Horace White
have not yet become a part of the com:
mon law of America; thank God, there
remain others to be consulted besides
those professors of "high finance."
It was said that the string of the bow
of Ulysses warned him of approaching
danger by singing a song of battle and
of strife. Let me say to those conspira
tors against the welfare of the common
people, that before they shall finally suc
ceed in their unhallowed designs, and
drive them through " the vallev of the
shadow death" to attain the single gold
standard, in order that the conspirators
may growrichon human suffering, they
will see mauy a field of political battle and
hear the roar of much political strife.
