IT Is curious to see how Republican paper
cling to exploded falsehood. Here Is the
Montpelier Waterman sooerly declaring
about the Sherman act:
| 1t was temporary expedient, buffer to
deaden the shock that free coinage OF silver,
a pet Democratic measure, would have CON-
municated to the financial credit and busl-
ness interests OF the country.
The Waterman apparently does not know
| that there was not shadow Of danger OF a
free coinage bill passing at the time the Sher-
man bill was adopted, that In TACT free COLI
| age bad flve times been defeated upon square
test votes In the house before the conference
committee was appointed from which came
this monstrosity of legislation. Beyond that
was also President Harrlson's veto. Really,

Waterman ought 10 get tired OF reiteraiinR
this time worn Stiffness. But its remedy Tor
the present troubles Is even worse. 1t al
CUES that the government ought to Issue
bonds. $500, 900 900 II necessary, for the pur-
chase of gold coin to make good the assur-
ance of the Sherman act that the parity OF
gold and silver shall be maintained. Here we
have the notion that it is governments duty
to "protect and promote private bust
ness" In its baldest shape. The practice
meaning of the Watchmans proposition Is
that every head of family In the United
States should load up with $40 of debt, to
keep open a market for few thousand silver
miners and owners. The tax payers of the land
will see more sensible way In stopping the |
purchases entirely, and let silver mining de.
pend on natural laws as other business has
