Mr. SnodGrass tDem.. TENN could not vote
for the Wilson bill. 1t attacked but one sem
tenco OF the sherman act. and did not carry
out the intention of the Chicago platform.
That platform pledged the Democratic party
not only to repeal the entire infamous act. but
70 coin gold and silver at a parity. The cry of
way to secure that end was to provide for the
free col mage OF silver. He criticised the stand
taken by his colleague tMr. Pattersonl against
free coinage. and contrasted his speech Of yes
terdny with those made by him during the
last Congress. What new light had broke en- in
upon the vision OF his colleaguep He tMr.

tween the debtor and creditor classes. The
former were numbered BY the millions: the
demanding the pound OF flesh while the peo-
pie were ask ing Congress for relief: and the
men who refused to grant this relief would be
branded as traitors to the people.
