ROBERT = WALKER
This pink Of loc0 foco consistency, this |
great champion Of the hard money demo-
Gratis is wonderfully indignant that the wings
should charge him with Inconsistency upon
the subject of the currency. We're il not
for the manifest hypocrisy which marks his
course as politician, we could smile. at the
staggering, clustering air he assumes
whenever the subject Is mentioned, but
when we refer to the numerous and sudden
changes in his opinions, and then to note
the earnest manner ia which he endeavors|
TO prove hrs cons istency, when the reverse
Is SO palpable to the dullcsts observer, we
can have no other feeling for him than inef-
fable and unmitigased contempt
The course Of no public man 10 the Union
has been marked by SO many and such sud.
den changes as has that Of Robert J. Walker
in the short space Of six years. In 1894 he
was the ayowed friend Of national bank,
and in bis letter to Judge Black then a Sem
ator from this Slate, he urged upon that gen.
tleman in the strongest terms the establish
ment by Congress Of such an institution to
"supply a general currency In that let
ter he also declares that ssa State bank can
no more supply and govern the general cur
rency than State governmout can direct
and control the affairs of the nation - In
1897 he declared in his place in the Sem
ate that he was opposed 10 national bank,
and that the State banks alone were 10 be
trusted as repositories Of the public funds,
and that they alone were safe receptacles
for the public money. Then Mr.. Walker
was conservative, then he stood up side
by side with that distinguished Statesman
William G. Rives, in favor Of the State bank
deposite system, and with an energy and an
eloquence which have marked none Of bis
after efforts, battled manfllly against the
hard money schemes Of that prince Of hum
Burgers Thomas II. Benton, schemes which
he then pronounced sscild cisi0ndsy and
impracticable, !" and fraught with conseqen
ces the most dangerous and pernicious to
the government and the people. And now
Mr.. Walker claims to be consistent, now 1e
avows himselffhe advocate of the Sub 1'reat
sury, and a gold and silver currency, and
the sworn enemy of all banks, and with the
most impernrbable gravity swears that he
has always been consistent "hard money
democrat So far from having been con
sistent on any subject, he has been on al
sides Of all questions. He supported Gen.
