Inc merry jingle OF silver IS the
music which the Senate provided for
the people to dance to, by The adOp-
ton OF the free Coinage substitute for
the Financial bill, which went
through III spite of the determined
opposition of the administration and
the republican leaders in the Senate.
The democratic party has been
committed to free coinage, as far as
the votes Of ali the Senators with
one exceptiOn-WilsOn, of Nd. J can
do so, while the republican paIJ of
the eastern and middle states, are by
the same token committed against it..
On this question of finance, the most
important in every country, the re-
putlicans of the west and northwest,
if the votes Of their Senators rep
resent their views and the pIesumtion
is that they do, seem to be in accord
with the democrats and Farmers AL
lance, which is more powerful fac
tor in this matter than most people
believe.
The most sensational feature of the
debate which preceded the adoption
IF the free coinage amendment, was
the speech Of Senator Ingalls, in favor

that; it was Il most speciOusly made

the best and most brilliant Grafton
ever delivered by Mr.. ingalls,, and
hal he not have allowed his hatred of
the South TO invelghle into a defence
of the Force bill, which, by the way,
again has the right of way in the
Senate, at it's opening. it would I'M
doub edly have made him many
friends in that section, where las he
probably knows, he now has none.
AS 1t is, although it was carefully
listened TO and all of it's st: ong points,
and there were many of them, against
the monopoly and greed of the grow
ing money power, were applanded to
the echo, in spite of the efforts of the
Senate officials to prevent it, it is re-
garded as the artificial plea of m
office seeker to obtain the support OF
members of an organization pledged
to oppose his reelection to the Sen
ate, and not as representing his rea
sentiments. Nevertheless he told
his republican colleagues and the rep

about what the people will do in the
future, should their wishes bt

was castieg pearls to swine. The
Republican party has never paid any
attention to the wishes of the people
unless they happened to coincide with
those of the bosses of that party.
