one of thu inset 1m ponant before Congress I was not a local question but general In its iiatun1 npil the deprt lon l In business circles I all over the Uofh was brcly due to the treatment or silver

was no len why it should not be applied to pig iron or orn I thus took away from silver Its money value which after all was its chief function Tit iCATURE OP TIlE BILL authorizing thu Secretary of the Treasury to suspend the receipt1 of liver bullion was also objectionable In his opinion The use of this opinion might render the Secretary oClheTrullable suspicion ando and-o tile Imitation of eing l dishonest which tough they might not be true would malts nn unfortunate condl ioli bf allaire Public officers might be always honest men in using tills opinion he said but not discreet which would be

business Rort coUntry be the result Teller thought the United States was capable controlling the silver question byadoptlng the policy of Iree coinage and this he raid was the only legItimate method of treating treat-ing the question although ho was in doubt whether a bill of that tort could escape a veto by thu Iresi dent If silver li denied access to the mint the price of gold will increase

entertain en-tertain such profound rrsptcL I forces on me the conviction that in the three years which I have resided in this country I have not U en able to fully and correctly comprehend the principles and cjstemof jour great government In my country we liave acted upon the conviction that here two nations deliberately and solemnly enter upon THC STIlUUVTIOhS they thereby form n nacxed contrail from which they could not be honorably hon-orably discharged except through friendly mgotiatlons and a new agreement 1 woo therefore not pro pare j to learn through the medium of that great tribunal that there was a way recognized by law and practice prac-tice in this country irhereby jour government could release itself from i treaty obligations without consultation consulta-tion with or the consent oCt other jfflrty to what wu had belli accustomed accus-tomed to regard as a sacred instru meiiL When it is remembered that treaty relations between tIes two nations were established at the express ex-press solicitation of your government govern-ment and that its every request for further stipulations have been met In the highest spirit of complaisance I think you must sympathize with my astonishment that the body which itself Initiated this and which policy ald represents the intelligence and justice of the great American jieople should trample these treaties under foot mlle olTend a nation which has always held these compacts in such sacred esteem I trust Home way will bo found whereby the hasty and unprovoked action of Congress may bo undone ths rang and damage to
