election Law. Could anybody in the
State have done differently or accom-
plished more for silver from your
standpoint?
| met Speaker Reed about Eve
minutes after the vote was taken and
he was as angry . man 40 I ever saw.
He said: IL stood in this desk last
summer and the waves of Democratic
wrath rolled up against me as the
angry sea roll. up agains. the shore;
[ worked lay after day to make Idaho
= State, and I counted quorum Of
Democrats who refused to vote that
you might have statehood; and vet
your Senators have not been in their
seats 20 minutes before they slap US
in the face" That was true, too. l
told him that here in Idaho we had
made an issue as to the rules adopted
by tho last House and as to the course
adopted by him, and that his conduc.
rs Speaker had been vindicated; but
when it came to the question of the
free coinage Of silver, no man could
sit in the Senate or the House and
honestly represent this people. who
did not stand re. dy to vote for it at
any time and under all circumstances.
Do you expect to get somebody in
there who can do more than that? I
do not understand wha. the scheme is.
1t must be that you want to get some
one in there who will vote for fiat
money, the sub treasury scheme and
tine $40. 0O0,0O0,O00 dollar purchase Of
the railroads. Well, won's do It, so
far rs am concero+d. don't be.
Iieve there is peoples man in Idaho
who would do it either; there are not
very many OF them, and they would
not commit our new State to such
rash doctrines.
l want to call attention of the
farmers here to one more proposition
and then will not detain you longer.
They ask you to vote for Grover
Cleveland and free lead. The Dem.
ocrstic Committee on Ways and
Means say it will remove one of the
barriers which prevents free CONNER
cial intercourse between this country
and Mexico, and they want to do that
in the interest Of the farmer-.the
farmers Of Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. The government of the
United States-the entire United
States-shipped into Mexico in cattle,
hogs, horses. mules and all kinds Of
farm products during the years 1890 l.,
. total amounting to $5,O62,0l7.
In 1890 Colorado alone purchased
over $12,OOO,00O worth of Kansas
and Nebraska products. Colorado
has purchased more from Kansas
and Nebraska in one year by half,
than was shipped from the entire
United States into Mexico in two
years. The miners of Colorado
made that purchase. Where do the
miners of Utah, Nevada, and Idaho,
get their products? The more in.
dustries you can establish in this
State the more men you will have
here buying hay and other farm
products from the farmers, and the
better market you will have and the
more you will receive from your
farms Perhaps there is no better
illustration than the one I have
given from Colorado.
