Parliamentary reform

Transcript of a speech given by Senator Hill in the U.S. Senate. Hill wishes to revise the rules for bringing a measure to a vote. He compares them to “a mere rope of sand, without strength or force.” In his view the existing limitations on debate are severely lacking, and should be in the hands of the majority, rather than a very vocal minority of the Senate. The senator states that the rules made sense a century prior when there were far fewer states, but there are simply too many complex issues being debated by too many people for the system to continue as it stands.

An earnest appeal for the maintenance of the national honor and the suppression of sectionalism, repudiation and mob rule

Major General Sickles urges United States military veterans to set aside partisan differences to oppose the election of the Democratic Party’s candidate for the 1896 presidential election, William Jennings Bryan. Sickles primarily denounces Bryan on the issue of replacing the gold standard with a looser silver standard, which will, according to Sickles, allow debtors to pay off creditors and government bonds with less valuable currency, defrauding many veterans and army widows of the value of their pensions. Sickles considers this an unconstitutional attack on the public credit, a move towards Populist mob-rule. Sickles also accuses Bryan of encouraging the type of sectionalism that sparked the American Civil War. Although Sickles identifies as a Democrat himself, he denounces the platform and candidate, Bryan, approved at the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and voices support for the Republican Candidate, William McKinley.
