HE I'SICS HIS WKAl'ON IN TI1IC SISNATK. Violently Attack* tlio PresWlCutv and Uoth the Ol.l Parties Come la for it Share of Criticism. On Weduesday when t ho Vice l'res ident laid beforQ the Senate the uu finished business, being tho House bond bill with the finance committeo'B free coinage substitute, Mr. Tillman addressed the Seuate, coining to the frout row of Boats on the Demooratio sido and spouking from the desk of Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, on that Senator's invitation. lie s\*oko as fulladva: "Mr. President," the SentUor began, "it is not eayiug too much, and I feel warranted in charging that tho do rangemont in our flnuueoa and all this ory about sound jnoney and maintain ing tho honor and crodit of tho United States are all part and parcel of a dam nable sohemo of robbery, which hud fos its objoot, llrst, tho utter destruc tion of silvor as a money pietaljsooond, <ho incroaso of the public debt by tho issue of bonds payable iu geld, and third, the surreuder to corporations of tho power to issuo all paper money and givo thorn a mouopoly ot the func ion," ' In a refereuco to tho Shorman silver law of 1800, Mr. Tillman said: "Tho silvor Republieuus of tho West, who had dosorted the silvor Democrats of the South, and accepted tho compro mise offered by Senator Shorman, may tako warning us to what faith or trust they can pnt in atiy utterances or no tions of tho Sonator from Ohio as to legislation iu regard to our iln?ncos. The time for another prosidontial elec tion approaches. They must under* stand that the electiou of any man to the presidenoy who shall veto a freo coinage bill means defeat. It means continued disaster to our industries and increasod poverty to tho musses of our people. "If the seorol history of tho year 1892 should ovor bo written, it would disclose tho fact that tho goht ring of New York, which embraced nearly all the bankers in tho Eastern and Middlo States, and the stock gamblers of Wall street, qoutrolled the presidential nominations of both tho Demooratio and Republican parties and had an un derstanding with tho managers or with both the candidates themselves in ro gard to what policy should bo/pursued towards our finances. They contrib uted money for the Rooming of Mr. Ql^velaqd as the only^Available Demo oratio candidate, and they abused and ri diculed every otherDemooratic aspirant Mr. Cleveland was undoubtedly very strong with tho mass of people and his patriotio and syropathotic utterances, daring his first administration, in be half of the agricultural classes, gave him great strength; but th*re was no doubt that money was used lavishly and that there were pledges made in regard to the distribution of patronage as a means of controlling delegates anvd securing votes. "There was plain evidenoe to show t^at the President himself had weak ened on the question of tariff reform, and the financial plank was cunningly drafted so as to satisfv both gold and silver men, with the intention that it should bo interpreted, if Cleveland won tweeted, <w meaning Wrwation of silver^oinago and the forcing of a gold standard upon tho people. Inter preted according to tho plain uso and meaning of English words, tho plat form meant bi-motalliom, but there were conditions and ambiguous phra ses which had afforded au cxcuse to tho elastic conscience of tho bull-hcadod and self-idolatrous won whe/ holds tho reins of power to pursue tho ptfiifly ho has. Whether the scheme was agreed to by the President in person or not and whether he bound himself in plain terms or not will perhaps never be known. His course has been un swerving in the absolute contradiction of bis public professions and letter of aooeptanoe. Tho expectations and in terests of tho people have been forgot t ob. and ignored. Tho party which elected him has been betrayed and its "banners which floated so triumphantly in tho breezes of 1892, now trail in tho dust of defeat. TJ^e practical destruc tion of the party nJts bean ?*ocom plishad." Mr. Tillman quoted from Mr. Ulevc land'H let tor of acceptance, ?n<l com mentcd upon it as follow b : "There iH nothing hero which. would warrant one to expect that the leader ol the Democratic party, it* head ainl guide, would ignore the platform and treat ivith contempt the trusted lieu tenant* whom, the peoplo had. sent to the natiouaj^eapitol tomytft iu shaping the party's policy. The languago wonlalea4 us to expect the very ro yfif. How many of these reasonablo expectation* have been met? How ma ny of you, men grown old and gray in fee service of the party and of the nation, men, who were ita trusted leaders be(gre Cleveland was ever heard of, how many, I say, frare been eeUed into hie councils? It any, apeak. I shall be glad to hear them. .Where baa this man sunk bis person ality? ^Whom has he, consulted? Whose advice ha* he rsoognixed?

"While to this besotted tyrant coin hug come to mcau gold alone, be can not by his more 'ipso dull' cuaugo the law of thin lutul and pervert tho plain meauing of the English language. lUpublicun partners in crime, who tod the unrighteous find unlawful exHiupio which he has ho poraistoptly followed, f'?jm in it to tho ut rib honest-working bus iness men of tho country as equal part nura in his guilt." The repeal of tho Sherman law, -it was. asserted, which wan the tlrst pond of aVtaek of thin "unholy ulllauco" was ouly\ accomplished through tho aid and iri ?eonjuuetiou with a majority of the llepiihlioau*Hcnators. "This Democratic President accom plished whr*. was not possible for any Republican oxecntive under these cir cumstances to have brought about. A. change of tho paity in powor had left a largo numhor of olllces in his gift with which to buy vote*." In discussing the "honest moaning" of parity of goldaud siiverin tho Sher man law ho said: "Tho qbjoot waa to have thom assist uuoh other, to hold silver up by. holding gold down/and an honest Secretary of tho Treasury, who should havoroaigued his ollloo rather thnn submit to tho dic tation of a besotted chief, would have paid out silver to proteot the Treasury from the gold gamblers and bond gam blers uu tho law and his oath of oiUco xpquircd. But, alas, tho old breed of Southern statesmen like Calhoun, who, nftur a lifo spent in tho public servico, had' to bo buried at public expouHO and his debts paid by the ?State of South Carolina, is ho morel No wonder tho Senator from Massachusetts feels war ranted in twitting us with tho decay of Southorn statesmanship and charg ing us with dishonesty. He oharges it, howovor, in another connection and as aiding and abetting this Judas from Kentucky who, after a brilliant oareor of twenty years aud more as loador a?d champion of tho ailver foroos, has, in his old nge, come to this pitiful pass. And then to think that the indiotmont thus brought against a whole section should havo so much color of truth and of f#ot to back it up in tho apostasy from their principles of tho two other Secretaries from the South ? appointees of a President who has so disgraced tho namo of Democracy. \ "The South bows itt^head in shnmo at this exhibition of mdral cowardice and dospiset the renegades; but I must remind the Senator from Massachu setts that thoro is ns jet only moral turpitude and treaohery to bo charged against these men. The Southern Congressmen and Senators who o&me here poor aro still poor. They have not become millionaires, liJ/e some of their Northern brethren; and there is no Credit Mobilier steal, or Colfax soandal, or Belknap bribery charge* abje to any Southern man. Lpt him romember thbse things and keep baok his sucors and taunts/' Discussing the Wilson tariff bill, Mr, * Tillmansoid: "It is true he did not sign it, and allowed it to bocorae a law without approval. But here again we havo a spectre of charlutunry'niid hyp JiQ o f _jnpe|io his party which has always marked hb*. career. Tho tariff law whioh ho repu* dieted as unworthy, iavolving 'party po*-Ady and party dishonor,' is the sheet anchor to which ho clings." And again refeiring to Iho President: "If ho was honest at tho start (and T am willing to grant that muoh) his as sociation with Wall street and his con nections with wealthy men has de bauched his conscieuco and destroyed all sympathy with thQ.T^anses . "? Tho Senator thon referred to tho fall in tho prices of all farm products. The impoverishment of the farmers had destroyod, ho taid, thrfr ability to purchaso on tho ono hand, while tho deoroased prices of their produots of exports in European markets had loft our debts for imports and interest on obligations abroad unpaid. Hence tbo exports of gold to meet these ob ligations.
