Senator Allison is Not in Favor
Of That Currency.

he Makes Ringing speech tn Fa-
VOr of the Republican Nominees
and Platform Some Facts for
the Opposition 10 Consider.
WAvERLY, Iowa, August 31-Following
is the summary Of a speech delivered by
Senator w. B. Allison at the opening Of
the republican campaign this afternoon.
After brief reference to the candidates
respective parties, Senator Allison said
that he believed the republican party would
win in the coming contest because its pol
itics are such as to secure the confidence
and support Of the majority Of the United
States; constitutonally expressed if only
that majority can vote and be fairly
counted. The record of the present admin
istratiOn has been such as to inspire public
confidence. Our complications with Chilli
we're disposed of in a manner to reflect
credit upon onr country. Industries have
been prosperous and many new ones estab-
hshed. Secure internal commerce has
grown beyond reasonable computation,
our foreign commerce has received a new
impetus under the recent legislation of
congress supplemented by a friendly ad-
ministration, our trade both foreign and
domestic.
Is IN HEALTHY CONDITION.
Finances are in healthy condition. Our
currency ample in volume and uniform in
value, and is being steadily increased under
the legislation Of 1890. He referred in de-
tail to the record of the Fifty-frst congress,
TO the revision of the land laws, measures
for internal improvement, revision of reve-
nue. laws, and cOntrasted the work Of that
congress with the work of the democratic
house of representatives in the last session.
Appropriations of the republican house
we're compared with those of the demo-
cratic house, and the latter alleged to be
much more eXtraYagant. The democratic
party this year stands for free trade. There
is no reason in its platform. 1t promises
to repeal tine Mckinley law as one Of the
benehcent results of democratic victory
not only this, but that every shred and
remnant Of protection, incidental or other
wise,
SHALL BE TORN
up root and branch. The republicans ac-
cept this issue thus presented. The speak
er denied that protection resulted in pri-
vate fortunes. Great fortunes are some
times made, but they are an exception. II

question, he said this country would lose
its power at once if it opened its mints to a
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Free
coinage Of silver would place us with Mex
leo on a silver standard and gold would At
once be at a premium. Our people favor
the free use Of both gold and silver All
parties have 50 declared in their platforms,
and they only represent public opinion,
but public opinion also asks that parity be
preserved. That neither, as money, shall
be at a discount or a premium. Upon this
question the democratic platform is
in accord substantially with the re-
publican, except that the demo-
cratic proposes an unconditional
repeal Of the law Of 1890 which furnished
us a constant addition Of legal tender paper
paper money of from fifty TO sixty millions
annually. They would substitute in its
place state banks by repeating the 10 per
cent. tax on state bank circulation, thus
providing
FoRrY-FoUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF MONEY
under as many state laws. This means the
restoration of the "red dog" wild cat' and
all other pet names given TO deprecated
state currency so familiar TO experiences Of
over thirty years ago. Senator Allison con-
cluded with brief references TO the Iowa
candidates, state and congressional, and
paid a glowing tribute to Congressman Da-
vid b. Henderson, Of the Third district,
who, he felt confident would be returned
despite all attempts made to defeat him by
the combined forces Of the enemy.
