not agree upon anything. $50 and do
what you ought to do" said the senator
from Ohio; agree upon some measure,
some compromise, End bring II in and
pass it,
And then il was he who appealed to the
interviewer and proclaimed that uncondi-
tional repeal was failure; that some COM
promise ought to be agreed upon and indi-
eating what that should be.

Jones indicated desire to proceed with
his argument Mr. Harris withdrew his mo

may be regarded by some of my conferee,
as the doom of silver; but, sir, it is only
the commencement Of the fight We who
favor this policy, and we who are against
constantly increasing value in the unit o.
money, propose to go to the American peo
pie and see to IL that every man, woman
and child in the United States understand
fully the meaning Of what we intend TO do
today.
I'VE may be fewer in number, though

''The die is cast caused a ripple of laugh
