WASHINGTON, u. G., Jan. lO.-Thc sill.
yer question, asa Legislative issue, is
once more awakening the livliest ap-
prchonsions OF both political parties at
the national capitol and within tho past
few days this topic has been tho subject
ofoven moro discussion than has tho
timc honored issue Of tariff reform.
but there is suddenly being manifested
among the Democratic leaders Il dispo-
sition to prevent the silver question
reaching tho dignity OF paramount iE-
sue to the prejudice OF tariff reform agi-
tation, and it is said that prompt meas
urcs are to DO taken to stamp tho tinan-
cial question as q secondary issue and ii
not tu'relegate TO future solution, Mt
least TO prevent those fatal Cmbarrass-
menta that might result from hopeless
party division upon the question.
Representative William NJ. Springer,
OF Illinois, Senator Carlisle, OF Ken
tucky, 4 member Of the finance com.
niittec OF the senate. Senator John NJ.
Palmer, OF Illinois, and Representative
Joseph II. O'Neil OF Massachusetts,, are
lew OF tho prominent Democrats who
aro said To believe the best solution of
the silver Question lies in international
agreement, anawho will therefore favor
the bill now being prepared for the re-
legation OF the question to an intcrna-
tional congress to DO held III Chicago in
1893.
MR.. SPRINGER INTERVIEWED.
Such disposition OF the question by
this Congress would, OF course, prevent
the silver question from becoming one
Of the harrassing issues OF the coming
campaign and enable the fierce political
battle OF 1892 10 be fought once moro
upon tho burning issues OF tariff tfrcform
"What course do you think should be
pursued by the Democratic party in
this Congress with reference to the
silver question: an Associated Press
correspondent tonight inquired Of Mr..
Springer.
"Ihe;:course which have heretofore
pursued inreference to the free coinage
ofsilyer, replied AIr. Springer, is not 4
matter OF doubt. Lam bi-metallist,
and as such | cannot support any policy
which Would relegate silver to tho rear
or eliminate from political discussion.
On tho contrary l would make it 4
great national and international qucs-
tion, and would settle it upon lines Us
