Every Oh. admit. that silver v'a- i,
monctizcd in -. Now the Sherman
act was the only substitute in existence
that stood unrepealcd since that dc

free coinage is not dead. ii is one -.
the living issues OF the future. W,
woul ask how long in the future.
Next Democratic campaign for prcoi
dent: Now if it were not IL living is7ll,
in the last campaign as stated i'll tn,
platform that silver should be coined
without charge for minta4e. then. il.
the name Of common sense when Will l.

Then again he use. these two express
sions THE ulta free coinage advocate:
have the Illogical side of the question.
and lust below it has this. the Demo

above paragraphs he scclns very iIlo9i
cal. If he is and always has been in

logical side OF the question. nc, ordin4
to hi, own words and he ought not stay
there. When Il sensible man iind-
himself on the illogical side Of til,
question will hasten to get on the log

trying to tote water on both shoulder
ut once. There are two distinct Gle
mcnts in the Democratic as well a. III
the. Republican party free coinage
and the anti free coinage men. by his
own argument he places himself anon
the antis, and there he will be rlasseu
unlcs. he will come out like II man.
Double dealing is about played out. my
friend. and there i no middle ground
on this question. The producers and
