Judge vanWaeecncr OF Sioux City.
Iowa, declared that tic agricultural inter-
eats Of Iowa had sustained greater loss
through the demonstration OF silver than
had tho mining interests OF the western
states. He Was IN favor OF the FREQ eo'n-
age Of the silver product Of the world.
Whitmore Of Missouri challenged the
statement made by several speakers that
silver had been demonetised by trick.
Tint congress. in 1874. had dcm0netiscd
silver against ito will and had beon 70
years In finding nut tho trick was too
great tax on his crodulity.

f. fOR SILVER AND AGAINST.
Col. John r. Irish of California was the
first speaker In the evening. He spoke for
ono hour on the subject of silver. He pre-
faced his remarks by saying that no man
ever had enough money. We have seso-
luton beforo us which docs not ask but
demands free coinage Of tho silver Of the
world. 1t 10 claimed that foreign silver
will not como hero TO bc coined. Then
why give an Invitation To an unwilling
guest. Tho silver dollar was practically
unknown In the inints OF the United States
for nearly % years before 1879. Long be-
fore silver was legally demonetixed u had
been practically obsolete for third cf q
century. Only $S,000,O00 Of silver were
coined In tho frst ~ years Of this coun.
try's history. Not enough for the babies
to cut their teeth on. Il 10 not true
that there ID an intimate rcla.
tion between silver, cotton and
wheat. Who Is Il that 80 often
when wheat 10 high cotton is low and vice
versa? The free coinage Of silver I'm the
past was OF such small amount that IL
did not affect finances materially. There
fore. free coinage now 10 an experiment.
You cannot look 10 the past. You are try.
ing an untrisd path. II silver shall pre-
xail we will part company with tho civil
ised nations of the world and sink to tho
level Of the silver-usine nations Of Asia.
The most dangerous enemy Of FREQ gov.
eminent 10 tho demagoQue. He 10 the
enemy Of mankind, the foo Of freedom
and traitor to free government.
Senator Stewart opened his speech at
9 and closed . few minutes after IL n. -
He reviewed the history q money frons
the earliest day and declared that its
value was governed by . Limitation of the
quantity and the desire to have. From
thence he traced tho history Of money,
gold and silver. to fs73. He reviewed the
history OF demonstration and how II was
done. He called Il . crime and fraud
ON the people and gotten through with q
trick. and then explained the n,odus oper.
andi. Al the close storm Of applause
greeted him. Silver and statehood for the
territories will be the subjects for to-
morrow.
