Excerpt from Silver Coinage: Speech of Hon. John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, in the Senate of the United States, Wednesday, January 29, 1890Sec. 3 That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to ado t such rules and regulations as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of t is act.Mr. Mitchell. Mr. President, the pending bill, irrespective of the question as to its merit or lack of merit as a separate and inde pendent proposition, and the consideration of which shall not now Specially engage my attention, although I am frank to confess my im pression is it is about the thing needed, brings before the Senate and the country one of the most important public questions of the day. It is, moreover, not a party question, but rather one upon which the people and the people's representatives divide, irrespective of party lines, at angles quite as divergent as do the two great political parties of the country on many of the other great questions now before it. It in volves a contest not, as is sometimes insisted, between the friends and enemies of honest money, nor is it a question as between wild inda tion on the one part and conservative money sense and action on the other, nor is the subject so dwarfed 1n significance as to be one having relation solely, or even mainly, to the interests of the silver producer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
