Show Hon R P BLAND Silver DICK as he is called will Introduce a free silver coinage bill in the House after the committees are appointed It will be very much like the one which passed the Senate at the last session but which got stranded in Mr REEDS lockup Mr BLAND outlines his plan as follows If a majority of the members favored frea coinage I do not see how that would cause the I Democratic National convention to Include a I free silver plank In Its platform Congress and tbe National convention ara two different bodies and the action of one would not necessarily neces-sarily affect the action of the other The fluctuation In the price of silver during the past summer will not have any effect on the friends of free coinage Tonight I see that England has ordered 1000000 of silver coined Thiswill raise the price of silver here and if tomorrow the order was countermanded silver would fall again When a free coinage silver bill Is parsed then the price will cease to fluctuate fluct-uate The silver question will be fought harder in the coming Congress than it has ever been ergot before 4 |
