A HAnHxS FIGHT.

The campaign of obstruction that was
shameiessly carried on by Stewart and
PETER was at best most barren battle
even II they had won. As IL is they are
not only defeated, but hopelessly beaten.
Their effort to prolong debate simply TO
defeat the will of the majority has so in
tensificd the prejudice against the advo-
Gates of silver that there Is small proba-
bility that any silver purchase policy will
ever again be enacted that Is mandatory
upon the secretary of the treasury. The
course Of these senators cannot but dis
astroasly affect the interests of the states
they represent.
These ''siiver" senators, Stewart, PETER
& Co., have denounced bankers and capital
lists, class whose aid Is most important to
new communities. The debtor class
In these communities borrow in order 10
buy. and expect 10 sell at profit Their
property will not rise is capital avoids tins
