appends the following explanations.
The truth is that Prince Bismarck

same desire was at the foundation of
the attempt made by the Chancellor
u time ago to procure the ap-
pointmpnt OF a responsible represen-
tative OF himself in colonial affairs,
which during the last few years have
grown greatly beyond the scope of
the original programme. This change
has, however, proved imp~racticable
up to the present, as it car only be
carried out by the creation of an in
dependent Colonial Office; established
on The principles laid down in the law

The bill which passed the house June

for it with silver certificates, which
are as good as silver dollars or gold
dollars either for that matter, thus
adding to the circulation each year

BANDS expression of 1899, 1898
monthly, or S19, 1876 SOC every year.
Now to the proof. On the day the
bill passed the house tue 37l Ia
grains of silver in a silver dollar were
worth just 70 cents. Suppose l had
1000 ounces of silver bullion, to-day
it would be worth 81, 063.47; l could
pay just that amount of debts with
it, or it would go just that far in
buying land, or mines, or wheat or
merchandise. Or the U. S. mint would
give me just s1,0OS.47 in money, or
silver certificates for it. But il Mr..
Bland had his way in the establish
ment of free coinage l could take
that same 1000 ounces Of silver in
the mint and there get for it $780,
80, with which I could then pay debts
or buy land, or mines, or wheat, or
merchandise to that amount easily.
In other words every of silver
the mint would coin for me would be
made worth % 4.10 more to me in
any way l should want TO use it.
How would the man l owe or the
farmer from whom l want to buy
mules or wheat, or the merchant
from whom l want to buy goods be
helped by the government, as q pure
gift, making my silver worth 2S per
cent. more to me? Has not the farmer
as much right to demand that the
government shall add 20 per cent. to
his mules, or cattle, or wheat, or
corn?
But how does this added value
come about? In this way: AS the
law stands and under the bill passed
by the house the difference in value
between the uncoined bullion and the
coined silver dollar goes into the T.,
S. treasury. Mr.. Bland would shift
it from the U. S. treasury to the
pockets CT the silver mine owners
He voted against giving the drowned
