that the Sherman act is founded upon
a false principle, and its operation IS
prejudicial TO the best interests Of the
people.
That we further believe that its repeal
should not be made a condition upon
the adoption of some substituted meas
urc, but the question Of what measure
should be adopted I'm its place should be
| left open for such action as Congress,
in its wisdom, should see fit TO take,
uninnuenced by the question Of repeal of
the Sherman act.

ISOLATION Of Norfolk, composed Of about
$50 members, with w. II. Wales, Jr.

man law.

with a membership OF about eighty
firms, Major A. Myers president, held a
meeting July 18th, and they also de-
manded the repeal Of the Sherman law.
MIR. u. u. Doyle, prominent lawyer,
ex-city attorney and a delegate to the
Richmond Convention: I am utterly OPP
posed to free coinage at the present "a
ito. The Sherman act was "cowardly
makeshft" designed TO save President
Harrison from the dilemma of approving
or yetoing free silver bill.
