Tur pie of Indiana addressed the senate in support of the resolutionS resolution-S TURPIES ADDRESS I shall vote for the resolution willingly lingly he began I think it opportune oppor-tune especially when we are comront ed by a measure which contemplates an Increase of the public debt by three or I four hundred million dollars I is indeed I in-deed proper that we should repeat the declaration that all government obligations g tons are payable in coinnot In gold By the original resolution passed nearly 30 years ago Mr Turple held coin was made synonymous with solvency sol-vency and that the funded debt was thereby made payable in both gold and silver or in either of those metals If we abandon silver said he and agree to pay all of our obligations in gold we would simply clinch the hold of the debt syndicate upon the country coun-try I however we maintain a bimetallic bi-metallic standard and enforce that position po-sition by opening our mints to the free coinage of silver the s syndicate of national na-tional dobt would become as strong friends of silver a is my friend from Colorado the author of this resolution to it that for they would naturally see they would not lose anything on their holdings of government obligations T RTTf Inn nENOUNCED He denounced as a mendacious falsehood false-hood of the gold men the statement that the standard silver dollar was worth only half its face value and that some time in the future it would be worth still less Mr Turple analyzed the bill proposed by the monetary commission and sharply attacked the proposition that all debts should be payable in gold inasmuch especially as the provision made the government obligations payable pay-able in gold He suggested that this was an indirect method of discrediting j j I the standard silver dollar which by the enactment of that proposition I would be left high and dry without its proper debt paying ability Mr Turple did not believe any such proposition would ever find public favor fa-vor in the United States Indeed he had he said a profound conviction that silver would finally be retored to its proper position not by international I interna-tional agreement but by the honest individual in-dividual lg action of the various countries I I of the world Mr Turpie spoke for an hour and a I half concluding with the statement that he and other silver advocates were pleMr willing to rest their case with the peo I Mr Morgan of Alabama under a I question of personal privilege rose at I the conclusion of Air Turpies address to make a statement of which he had earlier given notice i i I I MORGAN AND CLEVELAND Mr Morgan referred to a dispatch from Princeton N J published yesterday yester-day quoting exPresident Cleveland as denying a statement said to have been made by Mr Morgan in an executive session of the senate to the effect that Mr Cleveland was once in favor of the annexation of Hawaii Mr Morgan said that he could not discuss his own statements state-ments made in executive session No statement for publication was i made by me said Mr Morgan hence I Mr Cleveland in accepting such a statement without first ascertaining from me what the fats were shows hs willingness to accept ex parte statements state-ments in Hawaiian matters Mr Morgan said that It was well j L known to some of Mr Clevelands friends during his first administration that he was in favor not only of the annexation of Hawaii but also of 1 Cuba I i l I cannot declared Mr Morgan accept ac-cept Mr Clevelands statement that he i vas always opposed to Hawaiian annexation t an-nexation I can name at lea t one con fldential friend of Mr Cleveland who i I will support me in the belief that the > f statement is not true t i Mr Morgan then presented an extended I ex-tended review of Mr Clevelands connection con-nection I as president with Hawaiian I I affairs Istrr course of which he denounced de-nounced the accrediting of Special Commissioner it Com-missioner Blount to thf government of Honolulu as a piece of duplicity without with-out parallel CLEVELANDS POLICY I V Mr Morgan reiterated his belief that Mr Cleveland was in favor of annexation annex-ation but that 1 Doles honesty forced the president to abandon his policy of overthrowing the provisional Hawaiian government The correspondence corre-spondence he read he said laid the foundation for the broad predication that Mr Cleveland was capxole jf declaring de-claring one policy and maiding to carry another into effect Mr White of California facetiously referred to Mr Morgans discussion of the Hawaiian question in open session ses-sion and declared that the senators remarks showed the utter futility and folly of confining the discussion of such p matters to the executive sessions of the J I senate L Mr Vest of Missouri thought i would be unjust to exPresident Cleveland if f the fact were not at this time called to thesenates attention that a resolution paged by copgress in 1S95 relative to this governments policy concerning forig affairs which Mr Vest con divided between the l ceived betwen president and congress the responsibility for the r administrations attitude upon the Hawaiian matter
