CONGRESS MUST ACT.

Silver Must He Given Back Its Constitu-
tional Rights of Free Coinage.
If elected men stand squarely up to
the position which they were supposed
to occupy on the silver question, it
would seem as if silver must be given
back its ancient and constitutional
rights of free coinage by the present
congress The house, as now consti-
tuted, is without doubt in its favor
The last senate passed free coinage
bill so worded as to demonetize the
greenback in the same method in which
silver was demonetized in 1873. Hav-
ing resorted to so dishonorable a
method to dwarf the people, when pre-
tending to favor their relief, it places
the present senate in a most peculiar
position. VIII they show that their
action of the last session was honorable
or dishonorable?
When their pretended measure of re-
lief was shown to be a fraud. they
skunk into their hiding committee
room and burrowed. The senate bill
was never passed after the exposure.
| Had they favored the bill as it repre-
resented itself, it would have received
warm attention. If that senate bill
was not an intended fraud, it must re-
ceive the attention of the senate as
now constituted. 1t would seem, from
| these facts, that the real danger now
| lies w ith the executive. The president
seems to occupy very different grounds
from those he was supposed to occupy
when receiving the peoples support

Cleveland's course was in the same
line and carried him to his defeat. Har-
rison's ideas were supposed to be in ac-
cord with the demands of the great

The Tendency to Confouud Commercial

about intrinsic value and have faith

and no less potent word marshalled

extract:
1T seems impossible for men to dis
cuss this subject without confounding

as to insist that gold has an intrinsic
value greater than that of silver. But

value, then language is worthless rs q
