He Gives n Practical Illustration Of His
Position ON the Silver Question.
There is story current in the northern end
of The Capitol which is at least interesting. A
few days ago Senator Stanford was in the
Senate restaurant. according to his regular
custom, and having finished his lunch he
handed the waiter a gold CONAN English
sovereign-vith which to liquidate the indebt-
edness. The waiter took the money to the
cashier and WIS back in a minute with q polite
refusal to take the coin.
"Oh. but it's all right insisted Califor-
mia multi-millionaire. 1T is good gold. What
more do you want?''
Again did the waiter return from the pilgrim
age to the cashiers desk and again did the firm
refuse to accept the proffered coin. The Sena-
tor had few dollars of United States currency
In his pocket so he paid the bill.
When he returned to the Senate chamber, or
rather to the republican cloak room, he found
therein a number of Senators whose financial
belief is founded solely on a gold basis. To
them he told the story and of them he asked an
explanation.
You say that gold is the only true Standard
that it will buy anything in any civilized coun-
try. Why is it that here. in the capital of the
nation-in the Capitol ITSELF cannot pay for
sandwich with good gold?''
Finally one Senator said: "Your coin was not
a legal tender"
That's it exactly" rejoined Senator STAN
ford. "Its the stamp that makes the money
