Senator Powers Conservative Silver Views.

New YORK, March 19.-United States
Senator Power, of Montana, in an inter
view, says he thinks the silver advocates
in the last Congress had made a
mistake in trying to, adopt measure pro-
viding for the absolute free coinage of sill
yer. The Senator is rated as one of the
most ardent silver men because his own
state was full of bullion owners. He said
however, he did not think it was sound
policy to Jump too quickly to the free
coinage OF the white metal. cit will not
do for three silver producing states to at
tempt to dictate the financial policy of the
whole country" he said. Colorado, Mon
tana and Idaho, of course, want to dispose
OF their silver at the best possible prices.
[ think the rest of the country is willing
to act fairly with these gtates if they do
not ask too much. ] do not believe it best
to adopt free coinage while bullion is worth
only 81 per ounce. When legislation is
enacted that will advance the price of bull
lion, which l hope will soon come, a free
coinage law will follow naturally
Senator Power is at the Fifth Avenue
hotel nursing wrist sprained about two
weeks ago as he was alighting from car
rage.
