The silver bill wai again taken up, and Parrel;! addressed the Senate. Sen-ate. He declared himself In full accord with the pui,Msof the bill, but said that he was In favor of going still further. Ho would use formoney ALL THE SILVER OFFERED, and not a stipulated turn, as provided pro-vided for In the bill; and he would coin It aissU market value. If the price of IW er should advance to a par with gold, as the friends of the bill claimed it would, then free coinage wruld come as a matter of course What oljectlon could there be, he asked, to putting Into (ho silver dollar 100 cents worth of silver. Twi other things were nectsrfry. The national bank: system sys-tem should be preverved and the sub-treasury system abolished. Wljj-n the-se measures were adopted the t.ubllc could get all the money they needed. The Issuing by the government, under tho lending bill, of tieasury notes, with sliver bullion behind tl em as security, furnished a circulation that was absolutely safeand could not bo redundant, and would still supply thu monthly retirement re-tirement of national bank currency. The National bank system should be perpetuated by substituting other bonds than United States bonds to secure circulation. The. people would then utilize all the best bonds of the country, and would procure such circulation as the business of tho country demaudtd. THE TRFASCRV fc'OTES to Le issueduuderthe bill would add largely to the circulating nijcHum. He did not think that it was within the province of Congress to determine deter-mine tlieamount of circulating medium, me-dium, but some law like the National tanking law showed a meatu by whlch the people could determine that matter lor themselves. His ol jeet In favoring theabolitlon of the Sub-Treasury was to have all the money of the peoplo in the channels of business, as it was before tho passage of tho Independent Treasury act In 1S40. The money now in tho Sub-Treasuries would le deposited in tho National bank', with adequate security for the whole amount deposited. Another reason for tlie change was tliat It would be handled by the natloual banks without any cost to the government, aud the saving thus cllected would le In the aggregate aggre-gate several hundred thousand dollars dol-lars cr annum. He didn't favor a repeal of the Independent treasury act for the I urpese of benefiting the banks. At the close of Farwt-11's speech the silver bill was laid aside and the fortifications bill taken up. Au amendment to increase the appropriation appro-priation for rifled sea-coast mortars from $250,000 to $400,000 was agreed to. Without further action on (lie bill the Senate adjourned. House.
