speeches were snort. Mr. Dbble, Of
south Caroline, was opposed TO unlimited
coinage OF silver at thus time. He was
not opposed TO silver. He was in favor OF
International bimetallsm If it could be
obtained, and il it could not be obtained
he was in favor Of national bimeLallism.

| lose our gold and receive silver At dis
count of 20 per cent. lt would dlssipate
forever any hope OF an International
agreement.

| country or 10 silver itself. At the SANG
time he did not subscribe to the idea that
the silver dollar was fraud. II was a
| bona tide dollar, and he was unwilling Ia

with those Democrats who seemed to
think the hope Of Democracy lay in the
! destructionof of the present administration.
REHABILITATION FAVORED.
He favored the rehabilitation of silver,
but did not think this government by it.
self was equal TO the task of rehabllltat-
ing 1t. Any attempt TO do this by the
passage of the pending bill would result
IN An income or silver and an OutgO OF
gold.
