Tho bill provides that all liens and mort gages given for agricultural supplies shall he a lieu upon and cover only the crop or crops of cotton grown on thc laud upon which said lien or mortgage is given, and upon no other crop or crops whatsoever. Mr. Vernor called attention to conditions in this State which are producing unrest. The average cotton factory operative makes as much in one day as the farmer does in three. Ho re futed tho argument that tho passage of this law would cause an increase in the cotton acreage, contending that tho effect would be to make fanners deny themselves unnecessary luxuries. Why don't people plant more brcadstuffs ? Because they are taken from them in the fall of the year at a price which makes thc planting a loss. The bill woidd pro tect grain crops and still not force the fanner to plant more cotton in order lo obtain advances. The bill was killed. Senator Mnuldiu's broad tire bil! brought out a great deal of discus sion pro and con. Senators living in hilly counties especially opposed the bill on tho ground that the wagons would be liable to slip in ditches on th?' side of the roads, owing to the rounded shape in which roads gene rally are built. The bill finally passed without a division as general law, making it unlawful to sell nar row tires after January 1, next, and to use them after 1 00 I.

JOHN L ran' m ON THE FINANCIAL BILL-OUR JUNIOR SENATOR TALKS PLAIN.. EXPOSES THE PURPOSE Of BILL ! lt Would Mako tho South and Wost Howers ol Wood and Drawers ol Water lor tho Eas:. WASHINGTON, January IO.-Sena tor MoLaurin, of South Carolina, made the principal speech upon thc currency hill in tho Senate today. Ho devoted his remarks to an amend ant which he had proposed, provid ing for the repeal of the ten per cent lax upon tin' issue of State hanks, which he claims to he the host of Democratic doctrine. Ile said: Mr. J'resident, I shall ask thc in dulgence of thc Senate at this time to present a few thoughts on the merits of the amendment whioli 1 have introduced to tho currency bill. Mr. President, it is claimed by the Senator from li bode Island that it has been framed for the purpose of placing all of our money upon a sound basis and so remedying the defects of our present national bank ing system that the smaller places may have the benefits of whatever gooil may How out of the national banking law. It is useless at this time for mc to discuss thc question of the comparative merits of gold and silver as money metals, lt is useless for mc to discuss thc merits of thc present national system. AN KXISTINO HKl'El'T ADMITTKIL The Republicans in the Senate arc convinced that the present national bank law is defective, in that it does not adequately circulate money in the smaller places, or they would never have introduced this bill. There must have been a recognized evil, or they would not have tried tc provide a remedy. They propose in their bill to remedy thc situation by giving us more banks under thc national banking law and to allow those banks to issue a little largei circulation. This remedy might give us more hope were it not for the fact that in many sections of tho United States thc national banking business has never paid and cannot pay undci thc present national banking law Tho avenues ol profit through whici: the national banks aro allowed tc derive their sustenance do not o list to a sufficient extent in many local i ties of the United States to make them profitable. In the New Kng land States and the Eastern States where the forms of securities ii which national banks tin deal con stitute a considerable proportion o thc property <>f thc people, thesi banks can make money. In tin West and South, where such securi ties form but a small portion of tin business assets, national banks can not make money. NATIONAL HANKS INAPKtJi: ATK l> A U II M T I .Tl' KAL SUCTIONS. Mr. President, no legislation cai enable these banks in such localities to make money without changing the form of property with which the) are allowed to deal or thc nature o thc assets thc people possess. Under thc present banking law, as showr by the last statement of the Comp trollor of the Currency, 17 per cent of thc national banks in tho Weston Stales have oithov failed or gone inti liquidation. With this record botan thc business men what inducement cai be held out for the establishment o new banks? The chances arc ovoi that the bank will go out of exist enco and far more than even that i will fail to make money. In th Pacific States, according to the sam authority, I I per cent of thc nalionn banks organized have failed or gon into liquidation. In thc Middl States ot> per cent of thc banks 01 gani/.cd under t he nat ional bi.i kin law have failed or gone into liquid) lion. In the Southern States 'M pr cent of the banks organised undi the national banking law have oitlu failed or gone, into liquidation. I the Haslem States '.'O per cent han failed anil in the New Knglan States indy lb per cent. Mr. President, thc success of th national banks depends not upon th number of the banks nor their distr billion, but upon the character of th investments ol' thc communities i which these banks do husmos They have not paid in the South i West and they will not pay in tl South or West. More banks wi only create a greater COinpOtitic for a kind of business that now hi simply a bare existence and wi make il harder f??r any national har lo continue in existence. Thc mull plication of banks will end only an increase of bank failures in ll sections to which national bonks aro not adapted. Mr. President, it matters not what our circulating medium may ho por capita if that circulating medium is not equally distributed throughout 'the country. If the circulating medium is $'25 per capita and this is HO distributed that it is *150 in iTow York and $15 in South Carolina, tho business of the East will continuo to ho done at tho expense of other sec tions of the country, which is not only unjust, hut denotes a very un healthy condition of the body politic. It has been truthfillly said that tho circulating medium constitutes the blood of the linancial body; tho banks arc tho arterias through which it is distributed to all parts of the system; the Federal Government is the heart, the duty of which it is to pump the blood into all parts of the body. In thc physical body, if certain arteries have too much blood and others too little, the result is sickness, paralysis and death. That is just thc trouble today with our financial system. ?Some of the arteries arc over charged with blood, while others have too little ; hence certain parts of the body suffer from a lack of cir culation. The present bill is the prescription for this trouble. We are in consolation as to whether or not this remedy is proper and suffi cient. It provides for moro ar t er ie ? in the parts of thc body which now suffer from lack of circulation, but does not provide for introducing the blood into those arteries. The trou ble is not that wc have not enough arteries, but that the arteries we now have arc not acting properly from want of nourishment. TAXc.llM.H IMtOlMiKTY 1JKTTI?K SKCUlt 1TY THAN l'M.l'CTUATIN<; VAI.UKS. Mr. President, my amendment is for the purpose of providing new blood and not new arteries. Tho people of the .South have cotton, rico and sugar. They have stocks ami bonds. The people of tho West have cattle, grain and minerals. They do not have stocks and bonds. We want some way in which wc can uso our cotton and sugar, they their cattle and grain, for thc pur pose of securing a circulating medium with which to do business. The peoi lc of thc Kast have stocks and bo'.Js. They already have a way to secure thc necessary circulating medium with which to do business. More banks may benefit them. More national banks will not benefit us, because we do not own the kind of property upon which the national banks do business. The Kast has practically a monopoly of that class of property, and consequently when the Southern banks want money with which to move and handle the cotton crop they must go Kast to get it. When the Western bankers want to move the cattle or the grain they go Kast to get thc money. Thc circulating medium is in tho Kast. and the West, and South, when they require fr? h blood, have to call upon the Kast for it, and within twelve months it is ul) congested in the East again. Mr. President, the tax books ol the South ami of the West show that the people of those sections art not insolvent ; they are wealthy They are not lacking in property they aro not lacking in bushiest ability ; they arc not lacking in en terprise ; they produce threc-fourthi of thc products of tho United State; and yet they have no money. The last statement of tho Comp trotter of thc Currency shows tba the banks in the Eastern States heh $164,fM l,33(i of stocks and securities Those, of the Southern States heh * 10,8-19,4G.r> ; those of the Wos4,cn States hold t10)MK>,7M>* Tho l>;?'"< of the Kaslern States he'd more thai one-half of all thc stocks and scour ites in the United States. A SAIT: I'llOI'OSITION. I.ct ouch Stale control its owl banking system. Let its Legislatur determine what, kind of security sha] be held and how much currency cai bc issued, and what kind of mono; it shall ho redeemed in. Such actioi will furnish a domestic currency fo tho use of tho people of that Stat among themselves. They only seek to have a mcdinti for their own business. They d not care to have a currency that wil go outside of their State. Th object is not to have it go away fror home. Whatever other pretence may be made, this means will h antagonized by only ono (lass c people, tho money-owning and con scqucntly tho money-loaning clasi since it stands for the best interest and welfare of all others. (len. M. C. lintier, who former! represented in this body the Stat which I in part now represent, use tho fellowing strong language r< HOM Makes the food more del ROYAL OAKIKQ rowe cently ia an opon lotter to a friend in South Carolina: "I regard tho repeal o? thc 10 per cent, tax of far moro value to tho welfare of tho great masses of the people than the free coinage of silver. The present evil in our monetary system is the inadequacy in tho vol ume of currency and the inequality of its distribution-the latter the greater of the two evils. This ine quality of distribution would be cor rected if wc could have local State hanks of issue, under proper safe guards, and just so much currency would be put out by them as tho local demands required. It has always struck me as very nbsure to suppose that any State would or could permit 'wildcat banking,' which is about thc only argument ever urged against State banks of issue. No State, under tho modern meth ods of transacting business through quick correspondence by mail and wiro, and the vigilance of thc com - mercial and business agencies, could tolerate loose or 'wildcat banking1 for forty-eight hours, and there is no good reason why State bank cur rency could not be made as sound and safe as the present national bank currency. "I have said the free coinage of silver would inevitably follow thc reopening of State banks, and for this reason: These banks would absorb every dollar of coin, both gold and s'lvcr, as security for their circulation and to maintain whatever reserve the law might require. For domestic purposes, as a domestic currency, silver is today as good as gold. Silver only becomes embar rassing when transactions are had with foreign countries. Like gold, it passes only for its bullion value in foreign countries, but at homo it is taken at par of its present weight and fineness. I say, therefore, for all domestic purposes silver is as good as gold, and there is no reason why it should not be admitted to free coinage and used by local banks as a redemption and reserve fund." A CI.AKINti hlSCUIMIXATIOX. During thc panic of 187:1 it was impossible for the banks of the South, to :.' iain money in Now York with which to handle the cotton crop, and the banks of the West ex perienced the same difficulty as to tho grain of that section. The banks of New York relieved the financial stringency there by thc issuance of clearing house certificates and in this they wore assisted by the IT ni ted States treasury. Thc banks of the South and thc banks of the Wost immediately formed clearing house associations and issued clearinghouse certificates in regular form, as is shown by tho one which 1 will now read to the Senate : Cl,KAKIM!

If tho South and West should become able to utilize, their wealth in providing a moans with which their communities could ?lo business tito absoluto con trol of tho finances of tho United States had passed out of tho hands of thc Now York banks. Something had to bo done and dono at once Tho treasury, which looked with tho utmost favor upon thc clearing house certificates based upon stocks and bonds of uncertain and fluc tuating value, promptly decided thal clearing house certificates wi .h actual tangible values back of them constituted a State bank circulation and were subject to taxation. If these wore bank circulation then tho issues of the Now York banks con stituted bank circulation, anil yet they were, allowed to issuo them without complying with the stntuto concerning tho issue of circulation. This ruling of the treasury rivited tho bonds of financial slavery on the people of thc South and Wost, and the sudden light of liberty ?vas rudely extinguished. ? I vii ALL s K< "r ION s KAU; OLAV. I want, at a proper time, a vote upon the question as to whether or not thc people of tho South and Wost are to be allowed to uso their wealth for tho upbuilding of their sections or whether they are to bo compelled to do tho financial bidding of thc Eastern money masters. 1 want a vote upon the question squarely and without any other ques tion intervening. We have the pro perty, wo have thc resources, and we want to know whether or not those who lia ve no resources in thc way of products and whose aggre gate property is less than that of tho South and West combined shall have all the money. I have no fight to make upon national bank circula tion, hut that circulation has been cornered. I want for my people a circulation that has not been cor ? nered. I want it issued under tho wisest restrictions of the State in which it is to circulate, but I do not j want thc element of speculation that has so disastrously affected the pur ! chasing power of Federal money to have anything lo do with this money which is to issuo upon thc basis of real values and tangible property. We want to do business to the nulluni advantage, of all sections and upon terms of equality. Wc do not want to do business under thc dictatorship of Now York banks. We do not want for our section to have tho present disproportion of circulating medium to tho amount of wealth it possesses. Wo ask for nothing but an exact and equal justice, anil wo will be content with nothing less. TILLMAN DOWNS Cl'LI.OM. Senator Tillman took a fall out of Senator dillon., of Illinois, during the early hours of today's session of thc Senate. The Senator from Illi nois presented a memorial from a lot of Chicago negroes, asking Con gress to do something to prevent lynching and other crimes against people of their race. Thc Illinois Senator proceeded, bj insinuation, io place the burden of all such crimes upon tho Southern States, when thc South Carolina Senator interjected au inquiry as to the source of tho memorial and thc sceuo of the crimes against the negroes.
