HOTEL CHATS

Congressman John w. Moon OF Mus
kegon was a guest 10 The Morton last
night, while on his way 10 Washington.
Il have not much faith in any immedi-
ate financial action on the part OF con-
gress," said he. There will probably
be about 375 different bills introduced.
and il they are all considered. the SEES
sion will last something over three
years. Personally. am in favor OF the
unconditional repeal OF the Sherman
law, and unyieldingly opposed to the
repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on state
banks. / can see sentiment forming
in favor OF the latter, however. The
south will be solid in favor OF the re-
peal, and the moment there is chance
TO carry il. her congressman will drop
the free silver advocates To the south
wildcat currency is especially desirable.
She then could pay her negro iaborers
with the cheapest possible dollar, and
get the biggest dollar for her cotton.
The Liverpool market will pay for the
cotton in gold. The cotton raiser can
pay his help in worthless currency that
has an inflated value. 1t is not strange
that tie south appreciates the selfish
side OF the issue. The silyerites are
clamoring for fixed parity between gold
and silver. as IL such thing were pos
sible. One might as well attempt 10 Tx
a parity between wheat and gold. The
question in all lite ramidcations is an ex-
frmely complicated one, and every day
its complexities seem TO be increased.
For my part have little idea what will
be done. know my own views and
shall try TO vote accordingly. There is
a growing feeling that the democrat
party must be compelled 10 live up to
it's Chicago platform. but believe this
is wrong. do not favor teaching the
people lesson at the expense Of their
welfare and prosperity. Ii is too serious
a matter TO be trihed with. In my
younger days / worked for the smallest
and cheapest dollar ever known, and /
could never bring myself 10 cast vote
thatwouid compel another man TO do 80. >
