SILVER TALK.
Pending the discussion of the silver bill
Senator Teller said i'll the senate yesterday
that the bi-metal principle had had its
worst enemy, its most affective foe in the
treasury department. 1t had been within
the power of the administration to relieve
the people, so that what the people had
suffered was at the door OF the admins
tration.
But there was no feeling favorable to
bimetalism in high places and there would
not be while Wall street could enforce its
will on political parties. Each party had
been met by the declaration that congress
must legislate 80 as to gain the good will
of the business interests of the country.
That meant Wall street. He remember
ed the case of President Cleveland ad-
dressing crowd of people in Wall street
and saying he saw before him the repre-
sentatives of the great interests of the
country. But the fact was, Mr.. Teller
said, that he did not see before him
single man who had ever done an honest
days work, ever produced an article of
commerce, or ever promoted the indus
trial pursuits of the country.
