Mr. Latinor said: Mr. Chairman: The silver ques tion is general, including that branch involved in the bill now under consideration, has boon so frequently and so thoroughly dis cussed by able men on this floor that many beliove the remark I have heard sovoral times in the last few days, that "nothing can be said on that subjeot." Of courso, that is an exaggeration, as every speaker presents some now viow; but tho question is, can anything bo said that will tend to promioto tho correct solution of the whole problon and benefit the general welfaro without infringing upon individual rights? I believo it. I am a now ioiber of this lon orablo body, serving my first term, and have deened it prudent to sit. in my soat and liston to those of more age and experience through - out tho ontiro extra sossioi, and the prosent session up to this timo. I havo hoard almost overy speech for and against silver coinago, and yet nio man l has given expression to tho thoughts that are of the most burning importanco in my mind. I regret to say that I have heard able men discuss this ques tion fron a sectional and partisan standpoint, and sock to gain strength for the sido represented by arousing sectional proj udices 1ndml partisan hatred. This ques tion is, in my opinion, a great, iroad, national question, in which tle whole peoplo are alike inter sted, and whito I have tho honor to epreient in part the grand old (,('m nnollth of South Carolhia, I stand hero as a moiber of the I lonse of Represontativos of the C ..ongross of the nlited States, an(d co1ceiVO it to 1)0 my duty to legis. lat for the bonofit of the wIiol( peoplo. [Applause.] South Carolina expects this of me, and for that purpose has hon oe( mo with this position. South Carolina, sir, is not tho largest Stato in this Union, but in my opinion, it is one of the best. It has boon prolific in patriots and patriotism since colonial times. South Carolinians have always shmown~ a willingness to bear their share of the burdens of govern menit, and tihe very patriotism that pr ompts them to do so gives them thle coutrage to demand that they be allowed their share of the heono fits. They have long realized the practical Jpll~ication of the doc trino that national legislatinn can net be onaetod )vhich benefits one Stato or section~ at the expense of another without binig in direct conflict with the fuindamntal prin ciples of this Governmuent, ad, thoroforo, tonding rapidly to its destructioni. TIho idea is utterly foreign and rep~ulsive to Americans, that the States of this Union can prosper, like a p)ack of hyonas, by feeding up~on each other. If a legal blight or. political curse falls upon South Caiirol ina. anud robs the honest piro d neer, Maine and California, with al11lihe other States, must in time feel the evil. Every line of the Coas ittion brea01thes co-operation between the States. They can r'ach the highest degroo of pros p'ri ty ad dlevolopamen t by co-op raitinig together in) 01n harmioni hJolo. Tlhmeso truths aret fun :ianei-nal, and I fool that I would pI~rop)erly (discharge the high ny giving expressioni to thenm -et as thle bais of what, I have t( iy in hiohalft of the passage of thiu bill.

The consumma- i d Lion of such a schome would ulti- a s natoly entail more - misery upon tho bumain race than all the wars, postilences, and faminos than over occurred in the history of the 0 0 world. 0 The pedigree of that act which 1) is correctly called a crimo against it the people is interesting, and can 1h Y not be too often repeated. The o: progonitor of the act demontizing s( i ilver was the credit-strengthoning a Y act passed in 1869, and it in turn h was sired by the act of April 12, i 1866, which provided for the re- g iroment of a large non-interest. t g bearing debt which was circulating n e aiong people in the shape of our- ii s rency. By this law a largo portion 5 )f that legal-tondor curroneywas re- a Y tired and burned, and intqrost- N t .earing bonds issued in the placo t r .)f it. This criio against tle pro 1 ductivo and commercial pursuits ti f of the uation was the direct off- f1 I spring of the parent of the whole o: conspiracy-tho act of February fi 3 25, 18G2, which placed the oxcep- w, - tion clause on the back of the Trea- ti I -ury notes, and by discrediting its ai own patper the Government caused st gold to go to a promium. c< Tho evil, then, which started b this train of class logislation cropt I at a timo when the poople and h die Congress had their whole at- P tention conterod upon tho civil d war. Two colobrated documents c mitlining this train of logislation t 1s a conspiracy wore published t ibout the closo of tho war; tiey 1 iro known as the Hazzard circu- d ar anid the Buol circular; they e havo hoon publishod in overy ro ormi paper in the land and often u - read 11pon1 this floor. The authen- W ticity of both theso circulars has be1n oftonj chatllon1ged, but it never enn bo again. All questions as to authit.icity is ba rre1d by the fact tIbat tho very cotspiracy ouitlined 0 in thoso circulirs has hoon inacted a* into a law and 11W stiaids asi a t matter of histor-y.

Thie nation thien "* commenl01ced ant era ofi prospcirity whot a parallel in history, but 20 it was of short duration. On eo A pril 12, 1866, a lawv went intoeof >(3 feet as8 an amendment of the act o (f March) 8, 1865 which authuorized Id the Secreta.1y of the reasuiry to is is sue and sell bonds hearing 6 per, nterest for the money in ue mong the people and burn the ioney. This was the beginning of an era f contraction in the iolumet9f arroncy that has been steadig ushed from that day to thI,.an ;s path is strewn with wreolo omes, blasted hopes, bankrupt iterprises, mortgaged farms, de. )rted fields, closed faotories, and in army of tramps on the one - and, and on the other.a few.mil. onairos. These evile came on" radually, because the law limited io redemptionl for the first six ionths, but the amount of nondi isuod under this act was $958,489'. 50, and for every dollar so issued dollar of legal-tender currency as taken from circulation among 'io people and burned. This operation extorted not less ian five hundred million of pro. ts from the staggering industries i the country, and in the whole lancial history of the civilized orld no parallel can be found to is audacious deed of broken faith id treachery to the people. It ands by itself, towering above all minion frauds and dwarfing them r its own vast proportions. And yet gentlemen toll us there as been no contraction. A com. nrison of the prices of farm pro. nicts at tho tino this contraction .mnonced and now, will show iat it takos from three to five mnes as much to securo a dollar ow as it did then. Why is this omon of contraction forever hov ring about these Halls and seek ig to impress its blighting mark poll Overy itomli of legislation? I ill tell you why. A contraction ill the volume of IUonPy increases the purchasing oI wer of t ho dollar, and therefore , isa gain to those who have mo &y loaued, both because it increa es tho value of the principal and ho interest, and to those who have ixed incomens; but their gain is a lirect loss to all who have to bor. ow money or to pay interest, or invo investnents in land or com tiodities for salo, or any kind of MuRinOSs invest ments, because they re compollod to give more labor nd commodities to secure money .) moot their eugagements. There i another class, and it is a large n10, that is bonofited by contrac ion, and that is the manufacturer hat is protected by a tariff. The nect is that the general price of all :iinodities and of labor fall as tho olumeo of money is contracted, ndl there are only two oxceptionls, wo things that do not go down as hoe volmne of money contracts: noe is tariff-protocted articles, and je other is debts. They are both vils, and the only way to get the est of them is to expand the cur mcy, But now, Sir the people are be oming aroused to a proper under tanding of this question and the rime of contraction must cease. Applause.] * * * * Again, if the commodity price >O lower than the coinage value, ommodity transactions will cease mnd all the silver be held for the :oinage price, wich will tend to orce the commnodity price up to a ovol with the coinage price ot val wo. 'This is exactly what happened rhonj the Sherman law first passed, mid three (lays after it wont into tdoet silver had risen in comnmod ty p~ri(eo to $1.21. But why did it top~ there, and go down? For ex etly the same' reason, that it wont p.
