TANGLE IN THE HOUSE.
‘An Error In the Hell Fall on the Bill
of Mr. Bland Q‘s. used It.
THE MATTER CORRECTED.
Congress In Committee of the “’hole
Considers the Selgnlorage Question
Bland Denies a. Statement Made
by the Newspapers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10,—A tangle grow-
ing out of an error in the important roll
call by which the house yesterday went
into committee of the whole on the Bland
bill opened the proceedings in the house
today. Mr. Babcock (Wis) explained that
he had not voted upon that roll call, and
Mr. Tracey and Mr. Reed attempted to
make the point that this broke the quo-
rum, and the subsequentj proceedings of
yesterday were therefore vitiated.
It was discovered, however, that Mr.
Marshall (Va) and Mr. Shell (S. C.) were
recorded as not voting, and as their votes
would complete the quorum no further ob-
jection to the approval of the journal was
made.
After some routine business, on motion
of Mr. Bland, the house went into commit—
tee of the whole for the consideration of
the seigniorage bill. Mr. Bland explained
in a few words that he had never agreed,
as stated in some 'of the public prints, to
striking out the second section of this bill,
which provides for the coinage of all the
bullion in the treasury. Aside from the
question of raising revenue, he regarded
the second section as more important than
the first.
“If we are to deal with the bullion in the
treasury,” said he, “let us deal with it as
a whole. “”9 have already repealed the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act. N o
more bullion will come into the treasury.
Why should we not coin what is there?
To coin only the seigniorage ($555,000,000)
would be tantamount to declaring that the
rest should remain there as worthless.
should be dedicated to monetary use. As
far as I am concerned I never will consent
to stop half way.” '
“\Vhat advantage,” asked Mr. Coombs
(Dem., N. Y.), “would accrue from the
coinage of this bullion, when no one wants
it?” '
“The people want every dollar they can
get,” replied Mr. Bland. “The difficulty
is that there is not enough money in circu-
lation.”
“Is it the intention after the bill goes in-
to effect,” inquired Mr. Tracey (Dem., N.
Y.), “to redeem the siver certificates in
gold?”
"Do you understand that silver certifi-
cates are redeemable in gold?” asked Mr.
Bland in turn.
“I do."
Bland Explains.
“Well,” replied Mr. Bland, “the secre-
tary of the ti'easury has never so held. The
secretary of the treasury has maintained
that all that was necessary to keep all
classes of our currency at par was to keep
the greenbacks at par. They are gold ob~
ligations, and therefore are interconvert-
ible, and while silver certificates have not
been redeemed in gold greenbacks have
never been refused for them. This keeps
all our currency at par. I, am speaking
now from the standpoint of a gold mono-
metallist.”
Proceeding, he declared that it was only
necessary to keep enough gold in the trees-
ury to meet foreign exchanges. Under the
Sherman law he insisted that every dollar
of the treasury notes outstanding was re-
deemable in silver.
“And if I were secretary of the treasury
I should so hold,” he added emphatically.
“I would not use myidiscretion in the inter-
est of gold gamblers of tliis:country. This
bill, however,” he continued, “does not go
as far as the Sherman in this respect. It
only provides that, having been redeemed
—in gold or otherwise—these notes shall,
not be reissued, but shall be destroyed, and
coin shall take their place. In other words,
the holders will be no longer able to force
their redemption again and again in gold.”
Mr. Stone (Pa), who is at the head of
the minority of the committee on coinage,
weights and measures, replied to Mr.
Bland. He agreed, he said, with Mr. Bland
that if the first section of the bill were to
be passed the second section should be.
“If we are prepared to agree to the pram
tical embezzlement of a trust fund in the
first section,” said he, “we should not hes—
itate at the irregularity contained in the
second section.”
He contended that there was no existing
selgnioragc; that it was purely imaginary
as yet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—John G. Prague,

How to Cure La Grippc,
About a year ago I took a violent at-
tack of la. grippe. I coughed day and
night for about six weeks; my wife
suggested that I try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, At first I could see no
difference, but still kept taking it, and
soon found that it was what I needed.
If I got no relief from one dose I 'took
another, and it was only a few days
until I was free from the cough. I
think people in general ought to know
the value of this remedy, and I take
pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I
have received from it. Madison Mus-
