down South.
Mrs. Turner-What class Of p.on,.
did that?
Senator Dabois-They won't l..

Mrs. Turner 0epeatine)- What
class Of people did that, Mr.. Dubo;.,
Mr.. Dubois-It makes no diffe,eno.
what class of people did it. Their. !,

or LAZY, who will think that M.
Weaver has the slightest ch.ns, a.
carrying . single electoral vote in IL.
South. He 10 hot even allowed T.
campaign down there, and their onl,
hope is to carry . few Republican
States in the East. So that it is f.;,
l say. to discuss tho Democrats
national party, for, after al, it il the
only one which is consending with Ii,
Republican party.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected Psesident
in 1884, and he was elected on plat.
form which pledged him substantially
to the free coinage of silver. Yet no
had not taken bis seat before he wrots
an open letter to the country IN which
he informed the country that he not
only was opposed to tho free coinage
of silver, but he demanded that the
Bland act, which provided for tho
coinage of 1900, 900 worth of s,lve,
every month, should be repealed. You
oil recollect that. And in addition to
that. during his entire four years ~
President, his party had control Of the
lower house Ct Congress; yet there
was not Democrat in that body Who
had the temerity even 10 introduce 4
free coinage measure; much less did
the Democratic House pass ono du .
ing that time. Mr.. Cleveland told
them that they should not do it.
The Republicans came into control
of both branches of Congress and tho
Presidency. They had control Of the
Fifsy.6rst Congress. They passed =
silver bill which provi les for the pur.
chase OF 100000 ounces Of silver
every month. We oil though. that
was good bin. We expected great
things from that bill. Captain Gum
himself, | believe. stated that i. would
put silver and gold on . parity and
force the FREQ coinage of silver. It
was passed by Republican Congress.
and signed by Mr.. Harrison 10 the
interest of silver. Il Was done IN
good faith. The Democratic party,
which mot in Chicago in June last,
refused not only to declare in favor Of
silver at all, but demanded IN their
platform the repeal Of this ac.-ths
'nly silver legislation which you have.
And it is good legislation. 1t takes
Up all the silver which is produced in
he United States. outside of what 10
,sed in the arts, or about $4,000 Q :
ounces. Our annual output is, | think,
lbout 100000 ounces. Under this
dill all the silver produced in tho
United States is purchased every
month. It was purchased last month.
md this month, and will be next
month. On that bullion pape' money
n the form OF silver certificates .
