PiC ES~.C., TUR1SD)AY, U S 1 83 O 0 A GR IEAT SIiPECuI. DELIVERED BY SENATOR VORHEES IN ' HE SENATE. Ile Chinka tiat Prcstdoint Clovotand an( Secret%ry Cariste are lotha iii Favor o Silver a W.ii as (Aolt for money. WAS11INGTON, Aug. 2.-In the Sen ate this morning, M1r. Allen offered at amendIment to the Voorhees repeal bil -in the form of a provision for th( coinage of silver at the present ratio ol 1W to 1, under the same conditions en forced as to the coinage of gold, and di rectinr the coinage(withollt unneces sary delay)of the silver bullion now ir the Treasury. It was referred to the 1i nance scmmittee, as was also a bill, in troduced by Mr. Pelfer, for the reduc tion of salaries of all government olli cers from $1,000 uipwards by 15 and 2( per cent. Notices of speeches on the financial question were given by Air Stewart for tomorrow and by Mr. leffei for Thursday. Mr. Voorhees,chairman of the financ+ committee, then, at 12 25, took ihe loo and addr,3sse(d the Senate in ad vocacy o the bill reported by him disconti-uing the purchase of silver bullion. Tht speech lid been prepared by him in ad vance and lie delivered it Irom type written sheets, but it was spoken wit I all the energy and firmness that Air Voorhees had ever displayed in a speecl before the Senate. From the first. sen tence he commanded the clo3e attentio. of the Senators on both sides of th chamber and of an uiisivlly large at dience in thd gallery. Ile had not ter speaking more than a <quarter of ait hour when he noticed Mr. Stewart ris as if to put, a question or to interpos a remark, and he prevented that b3 stating that l1e declined in advance tc yield to any interruption, and that t1 would.iave to appeal to the chair Ior protection in his right to the floor "You will have plonty of chances a' me," lie said, addressing the Nevad; Senator. "I will be a naked object here and will answer all utiestions. I hop I will have a little peace today for ahow an hour." lie then resumed the delivery of iii speech, but had not male much I urthei progress before he was again interript ed-this time by an outburst of ap plause in the galleries following an en comium on 'resident Clevelnd . h'll breacli of proprieties of the occasioi was checked by Vice 'resident Steven son, who threatened to have I lie galler les cleired if t he offence should be ru peated. Mr. Voorlies said that while th calrn, unbiased piblic opinion of a grea majority of the Amnerican pe,nle, irre spective of parties, had jiustilled the a', tion of the 'resident ini convening thi extra session, the cause for the actioi were widely and dangerously misunder -tood and, by certain classes, purposel: misrepresented. 'lhereflore he deeme fitting a few words in explanation spoken In no spirit of controversy. Fo live months It id gone up the voice o the prophet of financial evil; irom thi great money centers had eminated criue edicts, contracting the currency anI re sulting in panic. No one helieved tihei was want of confidence in the govern ment credit or the stability of its cur rency, notwithstanding the empt.] treasury left by the last administratiot and-the record of a billhon dollar Con gress. The American cre(lit, was bettei today than that of any other country oi the globe, atI ev-en cowardly capitu seized upon our bonds wit h swift greadI Investors of capitai coiplained tha the aftministration had ret used to isst atleast three liintidred tntillion moro bonds. This a(Iditionul italebte-iness increasing the urden of Atnericat labor, would be hailed withi the leenes delight and swept with avidity into utn patriotic vaults by the very piarties wvh most loudly (declain against t,he gov ernment credit. There wvere many reasons why ou credit should be stronger now thani eve biefore. It rested ont the absolute unit' of purpose of the Amiericamn pecople thal it shoulrd ~e upheld. No one but a po l itical mad man could( deemii a pol itica contest In this country ever again piossi ble on lines of sectional an i htosity The public credit of' eey Eu repeat goverment was unrcersingly th reateneti by shadlows of cotiingt wars; fin anicia resources there were const anttly weak eneci by vast standing i nitites and per manent navies; blit throughout, thn widle earth t here were none to tmolesi us or make us afraid of war or ruttier of war. A lone, as it were, t he colossus of lth western hum isphere, aind t owerinig iul In isolated power atnd glory, our limit less material resources are sotmetimtte overlooked in somtuarizing thme ele mients of our inaanictal strengthI- TI'm insterstale comumerce of the in iter'i States alone e'xcedled in valutie the ent irn foreigh commiterce and carrying tradl of Great Britain, Giermany, I-'rance Atustarla 11 olland, lttissiai anll elgiti ti put together. Decvelopment oif itterna] resources, of wealth on the farm, in flhu factory, on the rivers, on the ocean bor der1s, in the mouintains and on thte in landI seas dwarfed into intsigilicanrc< the achievements of any othem age, ract or nation. LegIslation bad checkedl our foreli trade and we bad not today at cottmier cial friends ini the world. F'or ever law that we enacted denying to foreigi proudluctions a place in our nmarketn and declinefing commercIal friendship we might be certain of an itnj urious blow in return f rom every tradinu peopile in the worIl. f le hadl faith thal the evil would lbe reunovedh, wit h otlher evils which chatlenged attentl ion and action, and if the I riue great neis of the country was studied, it wVott be1It seen that financial panics aii( alarmts could. I have no foundattiotn he(re. But there was atnet.her anid an ex eedilngly s'msitive andI powerftul test, of our government credit, which as nierted Its claim to thle trust arid aelmir ation of the Amnericatn people, and also the b)usiness conlidence arid re*spfcet of every civtlized tnation beneath the,siun. Money was simply a mnedlitan for thIn exchange of values; montey was a crea ture and Congress Its creator. G(d and its allegedI lii ntnic valu iOwent for naught as ai circi latinig itt-dmont un less tL:e coin bore't the stamn o)(f the govy ernent-a stamp more powerful than the grasp of the lion's paw or the eagl's claw In bestowing life and activit,y of a diead and otherwise useless material, The same oflicial stamp on stlver, or ot paper, at once enlabledi them to an equality with gold In purchasIng pow em, no matter how debased or vatluelesi the material may have become, a onm modities, by simuster or un wise legisla tion. It would doihtless s )nd strange to some ears that there were nine difTer ent currencies transacting the busi ness of this coutitry, and to a large ex t ent the business of the world, So niiiforn in purchasing and debt paying power were they, so in harmony with each other and interchangeable, that hardly one hail of them were generally known to exist. The national credit.had been tested by the smooth and harmonious circulatioa of those nine currencies I and had met the ordeal in a manner to awaken the pride of every patriotic American's heart. Never was a part - of it discounted or discredited except by the government itself. That hap pened once, and will never happen again. Mr. Voorhees said he had referred to these things to illustrate the power and - duty of the governmeni, in furnishing sound, reliable and 'constitutional money for the people. At this ponit he said lie was contronted by a bt%v with out, precedent or p;arallel in A merican historv-% law which for months past had been the theme of all tongues and pens, and in whose name financial pan-i ic, alarm and distress had been invoked and for whose repe-fl this Congress had been convened. Mr. Voorhees briefly sketched the birth of the law, which re. - suited from a compromise, and said that in an evil hour, the worst and darkeit that ever befell the cause of hinietallism or the honor and existence of 8ilver money, this pernicious com promise was accepted and fastened on I he count ry. The act, he said, was not intended in good faith for the coinage of silver at all. On the c ntrary, it emanated froin the enemies of silver itioney, awl its purpose was to degrade, di-thonor and disgrace this, one of the preciois metals, and it coitbi no longer hold its place wit h gold as a part of the specie basis of the country and of' t lie w,,rld. In reducing silver to a merchantable commodity on a level with the prodfu(ts of' the field and[ farin, and issiuing tre-is itry certific:ates on it acerling to its market valte, there could be but one ef'cL on the dignity and stability of that great mtioney metal. I t. staggered under the blow, iintil now its enIemies predicted with joy its spefdy ani total destruction. -M r. Voorhees said that he spok e in noP partisan vein, but yet it was with great - satisfaction that he Itioted from the record thaTLiot asingle vote olhis I sid- of the chaier was ca:st' for the act which bore the nime of the ema - tot from Ohio to stw-h a peculuir eii - ince. As a firm, inun al 'tei rig belever in biimetallisti and as an indeviat iug 1 supporter of the comiage and tise of t both gold and silver as the st-and'ard Ioney of' the coint iry.withoit, diserltni tiating against either metal, Mr. Voor 3 hees said he voted against the pissage' of the Sherman act, and for its repeul. - The outcry in cert:un (I tarters at this time that those who vote for the re I peal of this measure are enemies of' silver as money and in favor of its de r monet ization was not only false, so Iar as lie w:is concerned, but, in the liaht 3 of what had helped in the past it was I absurd. Amd now in this, the darkest day ev er known to silver, he avowed his mi - sh:ken faith t hat it would remain or ever one of' I he world's great and po tmential factors of fiiance, conimerce, St ri tlie and daily business t rainsaction.s. - It. wou(I neit her be denionetizod nor driven away froi the habitat ions of i t laborint in tss's ofh mankitin.

WAsr11NOTON, August 20.-Senator Butler was called away from Washing ton yesterday by the death of a near relative in South Carolina. His ab sence at this time may prevent him from making his intended speech on the Voorhees bill, which provides that the national banks may issue notes up to the par value of their bonds. Sena tor Hitler's proposed amendments, previoisly referred to in these dis paclies, provides for the free coinage oI silver and the repeal of the State banlk tax. ''lh opponents of the unconditional reital bill have taken up Senator But ler's aniendinents and will endeavor to use the:n as a club to pound the life out of the Adiniiiistration bill reported froin the finance conmmittee by Sena tor Voorhees. It is claimed that the 1'ree silver iien will inake the light on th(i nat ional bank bill, and thus feel their way before consenting to take a vote on the unconditional repeal bill. I n other words, they propose to make a masure of tie aink Ectension Act. It is probable that Souator Butler had no sich int ention whien he ingroduced his ainendieits, but the free silver ien in their desperation have se*zed ii pon thein and converted themn to that iGi0post'. In :;pit of the tactics employed by I le I ret. si I %ear mi there is a growing Ieling that, goo.l sense and jtudgment will vventually prevail, and men who are not w con. , idering wtiether they will ij ur- tI Iei r po Iliticil p)rospects by vot ing.
