pose the free silver bill in response to a call

regret read was one from eX- President Cleve-
land, in which he says in part; ut surely
cannot be necessary for me to make formal
expression of my agreement with those who
believe the greatest perils would be initiated
by the adoption of the scheme embraced in
The adopting of the measure now pending in
congress for unlimited coinage of silver
at our mints. II we have developed unex-
pected capacity for the assimilation of a
largely increased volume of currency and
even if we have demonstrated the usefulness
of such increase, these conditions fall far
short of insuring us against disaster If in the
present situation we enter upon dangerous
and reckless experiment of free, unlimited
and Independent silver coinage"
Resolutions condemning unlimited silver
coinage were passed EG-Secretary of the
Treasury Fairchild was the chief speaker in
