statesman There is no douht Of his honesty or
sincerity and there is no doubt either that he is an
unsafe guide in matters relating to financial lcssla
ton. Just now lie believes that the House i ready
10 follow him and ratify The bargain 10y which
Free Coinage bill passed the Senate, and he naturally
shows great Impotence account Of the effort to have
the bill fairly and deliberately considered by the
committee OF which he is member.
A majority OF the committee docs not agree with
him In this respect, and therefore Mr.. Bland becomes
angry and imputes bad motives to the members who
do not agree with him. Mr. Bland knows we'll that
the only way to get The Free Coinage bill before
the House is 10 have the committee report il. and a
man with his experience ought to know that
persistent attempts to bulldozc the committee arc MOI
likely - succeed.

the cooperation of OF the strongest nations Of tho

pronounced the movement a mistake But in that
movement Germany had found as an assistant not
Eur,pcan nation. hut The United States a nation
struggling toward specie payments. When the Hand
Act had passed the bankers predicted that all Of this
cOnntry's gold would leave the country. YET I'm l--O,
after the passage Of that the gold circulation was
500 600 900. a. against SiOGOOo.oOO In 1870.
without ending his statement, Mr. Ncwlands cavo

sition To restore the value Of The subsidiary coin de
based in 1755 from fear that ii would otherwise
leave the country
