net that he was there as the special rep
resentative of Wall street interests, and
that it was expected of him to use his
influence in behalf of the gold bugs.
He discharged his duty to the special
interests he represents when he urged
his silver certificate plan upon congress,
for it was nothing more or less than
skiilfully devised scheme to demonetize
silver under the specious guise of
making the government purchaser
of silver bullion. The friends Of the
silver dollar have not been deceived by
Mr.. WINDOWS finesse, but, on the con-
trary, they were aroused to the neces-
sity for prompter and more vigorous
action in the direction of free silver
coinage than had heretofore been EN-
ployed. That was the secret and the
whole secret of the course now being
pursued by congress in relation to
silver.
Ii there Is any country in the world
Justified in maintaining the double
standard, it is our own. Gold and silver
are both American products, and it is
clearly to our national interests that
both should be recognized as money.
Nothing but selfish motive could
prompt opposition to any legislation
that proposes to place silveron an equal
ity with gold. The hue and cry raised
by the advocates of the single standard,
that the proposed legislation of congress
would result in lowering the market
price of gold, is tribute to the intrinsic
value Of silver, as well as an admission
that it has been purposely dishonored
by former legislation.
1t is to the interest of Wall street to
have hard times. A free coinage of
silver would create flush times; hence
Wall street opposes silver imitation in
every form. Wall street bias had full
swing so long in shaping the financial
policy of the government its represent
atives can't realize how it is possible
that the people should have a voice in
the matter. Fortunately, however, the
members of congress are brought into
closer sympathy with the people by
reason of the agitation of the silver
question, and are acquiring wisdom as
the discussion proceeds. Congress is
nearer right now Oh financial matters
than it has been at any time within the
last thirty years, and we hope to see it
hold its ground.

SILVER AGITATION.

1t must be source of modification to
Mr.. WINDOW that bis silver plan re-
eeives so little consideration at the
hands of congress. His plan had the
single merit of being the ouly sugges-
ton that has come from the HARRIS ON
administration which might be dig
nified with the appellation of policy.
That it was bad policy does not de-
tract from its distinction.in this respect;
hence to have the majority party in
both branches of congress. which is
presumably in sympathy with the adj
ministration. treat it with more in
difference than they would sugges-

1t does not follow. however, that coll
gress is to be blamed for this apparent
indignity 10 the administration. The
silver question is an old Issue before the
country. and has had the fullest discus

their minds as to what they want, and
congress is beginning to learn the fact.

deposition before Mason Bey to the eff
