Mr Tracy of New York ias opposed the

Mr Uland admitting the Impossibility
of passing such ft bill replied that wns
Just what he wished to do
Mr Kllgore sought tho mlddlo ground
and said the Introduction of a free coin
age hill now would do more harm than
good Tho cause of silver could only be
advanced by degrees and he favored soma
legislation which would strengthen tho
