There has been lots OF talk-protably
more on the outside than among thoAe
directly lnterested-abOut a bargain
between tho free silver men aud the
Republicans In the Senate, for the
purpose OF passing free coinage bill,
ut an increased ratio, and preventing
any tariff legislation during the life o.
this Congress; but persistent hunt
fAied TO discover any real foundation
for the talk, although several Senators
admitted that tho subject had been
mentioned 10 them. Whatever msy
DO done In the future, am certain that
no such bargain exists at this time.
