Senator Sherman's home. II is a
beautiful place. filed with old forest

the senator has summer house Just

a view Of miles Of the rich, rolling
Ohio country.
THE SENATOR'S HousR
Is one of many rooms, all large, airy
and, even In these hot luly days,
deliciously cool. There are many
windows and these give magnificent
views. Mansfield has neither mosqui.

ington's par-boiled streets and to the
boxed up rooms Of the white stone
palace on Franklin park. Here at
Mansfield he can wander about in the
lightest attire. lie wears an old straw
hat, light pantaloons, black sack coat
and looks as cool as the center seed of
the traditional cucumber. He rises
early, eats a light breakfast and then
sits down In his big library on the
ground floor in his slippers and loosely
made clothes, and dictates answers to
his mail. lie gets a large number OF
letters daily, but he Is used to dctation
and he disposes OF them rapidly. His
private secretary writes hand almost
identcally the same as his, and
when letter has been transcribed by
him from his shorthand notes and signed
by the senator you would not suppose
but that the senator had written the
whole with his own hand. After he has
finished his correspondence he walked
about the place and after lunch usually

1T is the strongest presentation that

sherman. "What they say Is true II

yer, they would have a limited mark ct
for 1t and the industry would for a time
be crippled Or suspended"
The truth Of the matter Is" Senator
Sherman went on, Silver has fallen In
value. like most other metals, with the
improved methods OF production. We
used to have to pay 500 a ton for iron
rails; now they can be produced for $40
a ton. Aluminium used to be worth
nearly as much MS gold, by the present
methods we can produce u from 50
cents to dollar pound. Nickel has
fallen IN value, and silver can be mined
cheaper and reduced at less expense
than II could Ia the past. The pro-
ccsscs Of smelling Il with lead ore are
such that the lead sometimes pays the
cost OF reduction and silver has fallen
IN value. II WILL II the Sherman act be
repealed, continue to fall and eventually
Will stand at its market value ~ the
same way that iron and non.precious
metals stand.'

to gain by their wholesale repeal Of

question will be attempted at this"
TIKI SHERMAN CLAUSE.
"should the Sherman clause be re-.
pcaled, Senator, and what will be the
effect Of such action on the times and
the country"
III think the purchasing clause of the
act OF 1900, commonly known as the
Sherman act, should be promptly re-.
pealed," replied the Senator" but this
will depend on the action OF the Demo.

rise to long debate The Democrats
arc by no means In a happy condition.
The great majority Of them have com.
milted themselves In the past TO the

Cleveland, Is anxious to have them
abandon. II they do so the rcspon.

rency. Their present position OF oppo.
silion to the purchase Of silver while
supporting the free coinage OF silver, is
a ridiculous and untenable one. IL Is
in short a piece OF hypocrisy which
would make horse laugh. They must
do one OF two things; they must either
adopt free silver or suspend the pur.
chase OF silver. The cxpcdient adopt.
ed In the act Of 1899 has demonstrated
the impossibility Of maintaining the
market value Of silver and free coinage
means simply the adoption Of the silver
standard and the reduction OF the pur'
chasing power Of the dollar to sixty
cents"
THE INDIA SILVER QUESTION uHsET-

GLOW about the action Of India as to
silver, Senatof''
"The financial policy OF India In this
respect Is not fully settled, replied the

but they will purchase the same amount
OF silver as before, but at market prices

now. II would not surprise me II they
should resort TO the same eNpedient

MANSFIELD, July as 1851 stopped
of here on my way to Chicago to have
a talk with Senator John Sherman.
lie Is again the leading figure in the
financial sky Of the union, and the
repeal Of the clause Of the silver act
called by his name Is what Is bringing
Congress together Senator Sherman
lives here at Mansfield lie came here
rs a boy from Lancaster and studied
law under his brother, Charles Sher-
man. He married here, the daughter
Of Judge Stewart, who was one Of the
famous lawyers OF Ohio years ago,
and he made his first race for Congress
from this district way back In the iiities.
When he came to Mansfield he was, so
old citizens tell me, tall. gaunt
young fellow with a big head, sparkling
blue eyes aud rather reserved and
aristocra,ic air. He had no money to
speak of but his brother had a good
practice, and think he took John into
partnership. Their business was largely
made up Of collections for New York
and other eastern firms, and this grew
rapidly after the future senator's admis'
sion to the bar. The result was that
John Sherman began to make money.
lie not only made it, but he saved and
invested il and at the time OF his
marriage he had already a start He
