The Silver Question

The Western silver men have beer
led on by the strength they possess In
Congress to demand practical free coin
age. In this they have entire ly over
stepped the bounds Of discretion. Will
silver certificates representing gold dol
lars worth Of bullion, the opponents Of
silver were willing TO yield reluctant
consent to an enlargement Of the coinage
But the silver men are not satisfied with
this. They de msnd free coinage and viii
listen to nothing else. By taking this
stand they put themselves in position to
lose everything. There Is no reason to
doubt but what any measure that Con.
gress might pass looking to the free
coinage Of silver would surely be vetoed
by the President. Indeed Mr.. Harrison
10 on record on this very matter. In his
first annual message he said:
think II Is clear that 10 we should
make the coinage Of silver at the present
ratio free, we must expect that the diff
ference In the bullion values Of the gold
and silver dollars will be taken account
Of In commercial transactions, and
fear the same result would follow any
considerable increase Of the present rate
Of coinage. Such result would be dis
creditable to our financial management
and disastrous to all business interests,
We should not tread the dangerous edge
Of such peril.
1t would be well for the Western Sen
ators who are carrying matters with such
high and arrogant hand, and who sp
pear perfectly willing to sacrifice the
commercial interests Of the whole coun
try upon the altar Of their metal god
to bear these words distinctly In mind
II they disregard them they will be sur,
~ find that the man who uttered then
meant precisely what he said.

The General Assembly of Louisiana met
| in il, beier NAL session at Barton Rouge on
Monday. The annual message of Gov.
Fra els r Nichols was chiefly devoted to
q review Of the lottery question which is
| paramount to every other matter to come
IT, fore the Assembly. He denounced tn
Infamous lottery schemes of that State in
ringing sentences, samples of which are
given below. They will be read, not With
out emotion, by every lover of country and
humanity who can read the English lau-
guage. Let every honest freeman pray
that Gov. Nichols appeal may prevail: -
1.-THE occasion is too serious to mince
matters. am addressing men of Louisiana
who know as well as l do the value Of my
words when say to them that should this
lottery get firmly planted in this State, it
will own and hold the purchasable vote
solidly in the hollow of its hand forever,
and through it, and by it, the liberties the
| property and the honor of the people of
Louisiana are at its feet. IL would make
and unmake governors, judges, senator's,
| n pre- Sc natives, commissioners of election,
returning officers, assessors and all other
fficals at it's will. Merit would be disre-
| gardfd and the test for office would not be
not ability, integrity. public spirit or worth,
but suhseryiency to the hehests of that CO NJ
pany Virtue would be the very best bar TO
official position. foresee the most d,reful
eonseque noes if tn lottery company per-
sists in its scheme to folst itself upon the
paople. | foresee that this State will be
shaken as if by an earthquake from the
Arkansas lines 10 the gulf BY reason Of what
will be deemed a menace, present and flu.
ture, to the peoples dearest rights, and
consider it my solemn duiy to warn this
general assembly, for | feel deeply that
| what say is true. And for whom and for
what is all this strife to be occssoned? For
the personal interests of a handful to men,
| many of them connected with the darkest
days of the reconstruction period And it
is for them and to hem that we are asked
| to sell out cur birthright for a mess of
pottsge. As the governor Of this State.
will never consent. 80 far as am concerned,
that The destiuies Of this great State shall be
aced under the control and dominion of
any corporation whatsoever. and especially
that it shall pass under the control Of
gambling institution, aud I shall exercise
all the iif fence of my official position at
all times to avert and avoid what | would
consider such disastrous as well a. such q
disgrsceful event. In so doing. expect,
and invoke the aid and assistance Of all
good and true sons of Louisiana, both in
and out of this general assembly, and
should fail in my efforts TO preserve the
good name. the welfare, and prosperity of
the State, no part of the respo visibility nor
the shame shsll rest u on me-"
