Points of order slept at that time so far as the Senator from Michigan was concerned. The Senator knows that I hold him in kindly esteem. but I certainly would commend him hereafter to withhold his points of order on subjects of this kind. After the adoption of that resolution it would not be surprising to find scattered through the records of the proceedings of that session the consideration of such questions as steerage immigrant passengers. railroad lands. and railroad bonds. a resolution by Mr. Fenton on the subject of the finances. which reads as follows: c8oleed. That the Committee on Finance be directed to inquire what measure or measures can be adopted by the Government which shall give to the country a currency convertible into gold at the will of the holder. thus securing greater stability in the exchanges of trade. in the work of production and investment. and in the compensation of labor. and to report. by bill or otherwise. at the next session of Congress.
