each senator footed his own bin. hut tho
custom among them is 20 subscribe for
each others speeches. II frequently han

senator's. that b. the time a senator has

/ liyered on a particular question. il is
| about as expensive for him as II he had
footed the bill for the circulation Of his
| own speech in the first instance.
The complete list Of senator's who have
contributed 20 the literature Of the dav
on the silver question I'm the shape Of
speeches issued as pamphlets is as fol-
lows:
Messrs. Allen. Allison. Bate. Berry.
Blackburn, Butler, Canery, Camden.
Cameron, Chandler, Coke. Cullom. Dan
lei. Dolph, Dubois. Faulkner. Galllnger
George. Gordon, Gray. HansbrOugh Har-
Ms, Higgins. Hill, HOar. Jones. of Ar
kansas; Lindsay Mcmillan. Mills. Mitch
eli. OF Oregon. Morgan o. Morrill,
Palmer Pasco. Petfer CD, Perkins Platt
Power Pugh, Sherman, Shoup. Stewart
CO, Teller C2l, Turpie o. Vance Vest.
Voorhees,. Waithal. Washburn. White
Of California, and Wolcott. OF these
speeches. twenty-fisr have been against
repeal and twenty-four FOR II. Other
speeches have. however. been made.
which do not figure IN this list. The most
expensive speech was that Of Senator
Daniel Of Virginia, the government print
ing office charging 81 thousand for II.
This was due 10 fits length. Mr. sherman's
speech cost SIG a thousand; Mr.. Allison's.
80 The average speech in length, like
that Of Mr. Voorhees,. costs so a thou
sand. these figures being the actual cost
Of printing.
The greatest individual demand has
been for the speeches Of Messrs. Sherman,
Allison and Mills on the repeal side Of
the question. and of Messrs. Daniel and
Cameron, Of Penn, in advocacy Of sill
yer. BY individual demand is meant the
requests Of the people who apply for sin
Gle copies for their own reading. Other
speeches. when 10 comes TO general circu-
lation, have been printed in pampnet
form in far greater quantities. The lar
gest issue OF any one speech was that
Of Mr.. Vest. Of Missouri against repeal,
which ran up 20 10000. and IS being
used largely By the POpulists I'm their
campaign. Next 10 this will probably
be the speech Of Mr. Cameron, Of Penn.
which he is circulating himself and which
IS expected 10 approach close TO the l00,-
O00 mark. Mr.. Cameron sends a personal
letter 10 every pcrson asking him FOR a
copy Of his speech. and is receiving hun
dreds daily from farmers and working
men. Mr. Wolcott of Colorado, will is
sue 5000 copies Of his speech. as there |
is a heavy demand for IL in the " est.
1t is impossible 20 approximate even |
the number Of copies OF the speech Of |
Major Daniel that have been put in circu- |
IatOn for the reason that II has been |
copied BY the Populists and reprinted |
from their private press and circulated In /
.NH NHar.aH
ton throughout Virginia In the campaign /
At the government printing Office an edi-
ton OF 5000 has been run of. and a |
similar number has been printed Of the
zey-note speech Of Mr.. voorhees, early
N the debate. The number printed Of
jther speeches is about as followers:
Messrs. Allison, 10000; Sherman. 1900:
Vance. 12,OD0; Faulkner. 1900; Hill. :OOOO;
1oar. 1000; Many of the more recent
peeches have not yet appeared in pam
'hlet form, although they will soon be
cattered throughout the country
