and USES the assertions Of gold men as
assumed facts.
lie starts out with the assumption
that the silver purchase law Is the cause
OF the trouble. and. of course. the only
remedy he suggests Is its repeal. He
completely ignores every argument OF
the silver men. makes no mention what.
ever of any plan for the increase of
the money supply
He Ignores aud passes In silence the
oysrshAdlwing question OF what 10 do
with the Immense quantity OF silver
bullion stored Ia the treasury.
He says not a word about the fact or
tho argument that there is not gold
enough to supply the needs OF the peo-
pie.
lie recommends nothing except the re:
peal Of the Sherman silver law, and
such other legislation as will convince
the word Of our Willingness aud ability
TO pay everything in gold.
One thing must be said Of him, and
that Is he does not act the hypoerite

shown by Mr. Cleveland to the pledges OF
the party platform IN the treatment OF

holding high stations IN the councils OF
the pA-ty which elevated him TO the presi-
dency. and II Is believed the great mass
of the rank and file, whose votes placed
him there. will construe his message rs
