REPUBLICAN EFFORTS TO PREVENT THE cIRCU-
LATIoN OF SILVER
The Republicans now claim that they have
brought the silver dollar from its hiding place.

nothing as money but gold. Ever siuce the
remone t1zatiOn OF silver by the Democratic
partT in 1878 the leaders of the Republican
party have sought in every way possible To
prejud ce the people against It's use. John
Sherman, when In the Senate OF the United
Stares kDpposed the remOnetiZattOn OF silver -
bitterly as did Mr.. Garfield, and since Mr..
sherman has been Secretary OF the Treasury,
he has allowed no opportunity TO pass IN wnich

New YORK against IL. He had his Assistant
treasurer made a member OF the Clearing
House Board OF New York City, and tneni &C
cOrCipg to resolution passed by the Board
(the Assistant Treasurer of the United States
being a member thereof, silver was not TO be
offered in payment for any balance due any
member of that Board, and was not TO be re-

a business man wants 10 deposit IN
bank what he receives, and check
out OF bank as his necessities require
that an arrangement of that kind was calcu-
lated 10 bring about great opposition 10 the
use OF silver as money; and that accounts for
the orsiudics among business men of the East
against silver. He has constantly refused 10
hand out silver In the payment OF our bonded
debt, viii the silver he has on hand Is q legal
tenier for every dollar that we owe. But he
prefers 10 issue new bonds, bearing interest,
and sell them 10 buy gold with, instead OF
paying out the silver he mas on hand II he
would pay IL out on the bonded debt OF the
country we would save the issuing OF new
bonds lust 10 the amount OF silver That he mas
on hand, and the interest upon the bonds also
Mr.. sherman has never lost hope OF bringing
the law into cOntempt; he even showed
disregard for the law making silver legal

mis- only business is to carry out the laws

made by the Republican party to dlscounten-

Hayes, and his vetOing of the silver oill-the

his late message recommending Congress To
stop the coinage Of silver dollars, many Re-

late speech, that they are the especial friends
