The president in his letter prono<e
| to submit the question of free sa3ln
| age to the commercial nation a.
r Europe, and has appointed Il co1uinls
sion for that purpose, consisting oI
three gold advocates and two advo
Gates of the free coinage Of silver
He reiterates in that letter the trite
formula of John Sherman, that the
ratio between gold and silver
must be such as to make the com
mercial value of the silver in the
silver dollar equal to the commercial
value of the gold in the gold dollar.
His position is exactly the same as
that of his financial mentor, John
Sherman, who. in his campaign
speech at Philadelphia, Pa, on the
8th of October, said:
Now, what we want is both gold and sill
yer money but always maintained at par
with each other, money having the same
purchasing power. How can we get it {?
The simple answer is by putting enough
silver in the silver dollar to make it eaual
in value to the gold in the gold d allar If
971,4 grains are not enough put int the
silver dollar 4S0 grains or lo0 grains Give
the people an honest dollar and thus settle
the silver question
That is the settlement which Mr.
Harrison and Mr.. Sherman propose
shall be effected by an international
conference. When that is done sill
yer will be forever demonetized.
and the present discount on silver
will forever be maintained. This
policy means for Nevada the utter
ruin OF her mining interests and the
destruction of the state.
The Force Bill.
Mr.. Bartine. you are a little weak
in your explanation Of the force bill.
The people of Nevada would be glad
if you would explain to them how
many federal supervisors and deputy
could be employed for elec-
ton purposes under that bill how
much money could be expended by
executive to pay those
officers and the other expenses of
elections out of the standing al,pro-
priation contained in the bill. They
would also like to have you explain
what power these federal officers
would have had under the terms of
the bill in the registration, counting
of votes and returns of elections, and
the authority of these fed
eral officers would have been para
aount to that of the state officers in
elections where member of con-
sress is to be chosen. They would |
liso like to know if you are in favor,
where the colored people are in the
majority in the South, of installing |
hem IN power and intrusting them |
With the government Of those states.
\ fuller discussion of this subject by
'ou would interest your hearers
Iu1te as much as abuse of myself.
Bartine Voted for the Force Bill.
You admit in your speeches that
'ou voted for the force bill. Please
ell the people how many silver men
oted for that bill besides yourself
nd how many silver men voted
galnst 1t; and whether in your ac-
Ion IN that respect you co-operated
Nth the silver men or with the gold
len of the house.
