The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was then taken up, the pending question being on Mr. Dolph's amendment to increase 'SoooEym.m. min,8ter 10 PortuglU from Mr. Hoar spoke of the necessity of the United States conforming to the diplomatic usages of n Everybody understood (espe President'who h"d experience of it) that the custom of nations, established for centuries in their diplomatic relations with each other placed the government and citizens | of the United States at a disadvantage. ioreign governments treated eacu other not according to their rank or importam-e. but solely with reference to the question of dinlo I ma tic position. A minister ol the United Sut-s having to discuss a matter of high importance with the prime minister of England or of r ranee would be kept waiting until ambassadors from such countries as Siam or Havti or Servia or Bulgaria had had their audiences. : 8 question of the common law of civilization of nations which no single natioa could put down or depart from, except to its own detriment. To show how the matter worked Mr. Hoar sent to the clerk s desk and had read a letter from Mr. Smaller . correspondent of the Xew York m&u?e. describing how Mr. Phelps, the Amer ican minister, would see the backs of twentv three ministers and seven ambassadors Kfo're be could enter the audience room of the British premier. MB. PLCMB HAS SOMETHING TO BAT. Mr. Plumb intimated that Mr. Hoar had not strengthened his position by quoting from a person who had un-Americanized himself, who could hardly speak the American language und who was a professional snob. What had hap pened he asked, when Franklin was at tlie court of France, at a time wlen names were not things? Had any one degraded Franklin because he was a simple citizen ol a struggling people seeking to emerge from their original condition? Or had any one spoken of Mr. Charles Francis Adams when he was minister to London during the civil war as le-s entitled to consideration than the ambassador from some pumpernickel country in Europe? The ii.tef.-sts of the United States, Mr. Plumb said, ?i! * n<i.t- ,<,eP?nd upon considerations of tiiat kind. The men who expatriated themselves, as newspaper correspondents did. were not the class of |>eople who hied the policy of legislation for the American Congrew. Public sentiment no longer rested in the eastern corner of the country. Jt was going to be fixed in the interior among the people who. as Mr. Seward had said in one of his greatest speeches resided at the sources of the great waters. The letter which had been read to the Senate re minded him of a society column in The Wabh inqtoh Stab. MB. HOAB 8TASD8 CP FOB XB. 8HATAET. Mr. Hoar thought that Mr. Smallev's letter was a pretty good specimen of racy, idiomatic, sparkling English as it is spoken in the United States. It was almost as good English as that spoken by the Senator from Kansas?and that was saying a good deal. But the fact was just this (and it could not be rubbed out or answered by sneers at the societv columns of The Stab or by talk about the dignity of this countrv) that the United States had the right to say in what order its business should be considered at foreign courts. When the United States used the word "envoy" or "minister," it was just as if it mid Jills man whom we send to you is to rank No. 50 in his title to have business considered" But if it used the word "ambassador'' (even though the pay was not raided or the man changed) that meant "we think that our busi ness is of importance enough that our minister is to be considered in France or England as No. 1 or No. 6 (according to seniority)." And that was all tee re was in the question. Bosnc LIYELT 8PABRINO. I In the oourse of a further discussion Mr. Hoar sug,Tested the idea of a western diplo matic representative appearing at a foreign court with one of his trousers' legs in his boot and perhaps without stockings: Mr. Plumb in dulged in further sneers at eastern refinement M/;, ..rt8 ,made * "tatement in corroboration of Mr. Hoar s views and Mr. Blair humorously asked to be excused from voting on the ques tiou (conveying the idea that he might have a personal interest in it.)

Warner, formerly a member of Congreaa from Ohio and now the head of the silver national executive committee, made a j vigorous argument today before the House committee on coinage in advocacy of the bill j for free coinage of oilver. He firat di rected attention to the assertions of j the anti-silver men that gold waa the least variable of nil measures of value. He de- I clarcd this statement to be just the reverse of j the truth and insisted that gold and not other articles had changed moat in value. Since | 1873. he said, gold had increased 50 per cent in purchasing power. He granted that since that yerr there had i en gr<. t improvements in the nn tlKMU of production, but this accounted for a small part only of the difference in value*. There had been a double increase due to a change in the measure of value as well as in the supply aud demand. In the laat seventeen years tnere had been but little change in the m* thods of prod.icing wheat, corn, cotton, to bacco or meat. There h id been no increase in wheat production beyond ihe increase in popu lation, and vet the price has laiicn from #1.42 to 97 cents. a coNTiNrors decun*. The decline, although not regular, had been continuous. In all the staples it took three measures to obtain the same weight in gold that could be obtained formerly with two measures. No. the change miia in tlie gold. The annual average production of gold had fallen from ? 166,000.000 in 1K73 to * 1O5.<<N).60O last vtnr. In 1?7.'J the population of the goid-u^ing coun tries was 75,000.000. There was then no g?M in ermanv, in Italv. in the United Sti.tos in Holland. From 1H73 to 1S81 thc-t four countries took from the gold using countries more than tl.uoo.ooo.ooo of gold. In the United States there were 65.000,-, 000 of people; in Germany, 40.000.1*10: in ltalv. SU.OOii.OOO. and in Holland. lO.ftM.oOO. More' than twice hh many peo.de a. in 1873 were row Using the limited .,.1-intity of gold. The law of supply and demand made' it impossible that the purchasing nower of gold should not be in creased by this condition of things. IE ATTACKS THE COXFIDESrE ABtlrVENT. Mr. Warner then attacked the argument* of those who maintained that it was not money but confidence that was wented. and that the credft system waa the thing to keep unshaken. Mr. Atkinson, he Bald, had stated that credit waa from thirty to fifty times o? great m cur rency. That would make our capital between aev enty-five thousand millions and forty thousand millions. A pretty fair leewav for a scientist. He believed in credit, but it should have a souud basis, and was not as good as money it self. In what did this credit system differ from the wildcat, red dog nnd swamp angel money issued years ago? It waa very good to have confidence, but why not make that confidence legal tender. fYid go a atop further and adopt the suggestion once made in the South Carolina legislature that whoever wavered in confidence should be sliot? He protested againat a con tinuance of a system which brought everything to a standstill every few year* by a collapse of the credit system?this confidence money, l'eople asked, he said. whv tuonev had fallen from as high as ISO per cent to 2 per cent He answered that when the collapse came there was not enough confidence monev to go around and there waa a desperate scramble for it. The collapse of credit dammed up busi ness. prices were fulling and as nobody wanted to borrow credit fell to 2 per cent. AS TO ECBOPEAX "ILVBa. He then ridiculed the statements that lilver from Europe ami India would flood this coun try if a free coinage law was passed. The for eign ratio waa from S to 7 per cent higher than ours. <o that silver could not come here. It was time for the United States to make a declaration of independence and say to Europe in what the balancea of trade in our favor ahould be paid to us. The United States had power enough in the commercial world to main* tain the purity between the two metals. MB. waleeb'b examination. Mr. Walker began hia examination of Mr. Warner by calling attention to the fact that the same number of buahels of farm product* would now buy more of everything the farmer needed than in 1873, Mr. Warner replied that that might be ao as far a* an ex change of products was concerned, but that the farmer when he went to pav his debts and his mortgage bad to pay the same amount of money and in an appreciated standard. Mr. Wilcox also suggested that the great advance in manufacturing ha* much to do with the question. Mr. John Warner, Congressman -elect from ^ew 1 ork, who was one of the delega- I tion sent here from the Cooper Union meeting, then protested against addi- I tional silver legislation. He traversed the statements of the preceeding witness and asserted that the decline in the price of farm products was due to improvements in pro duction and in transportation the world over The decrease was not as large as he would have expected. Sir. Hartine asked: Suppose the people had twice as much currency in their pockets as now; would not their prosperity be greatly in creased? Mr. Warner?No. sir: it would hare vsrr lit tle effect Mr. Warner asserted that under free coinmre silver would come here from France, not from individuals, but from government of France which had a large stock on hand. The French government could get gold from the L nited States in exchange for sil ver, and with that gold it could buy back silver if it were wanted and coin it and still have a large balance of profit. Free coinage would put us in the position of Hutch inson in Chicago cornering wheat The United States would be compelled to take all the silver the world offered, just as Hutchinson had to take wheat from everywhere in order to keep up the price.
