MANSFIELD. o.. July 3-Senator Sher-
mau. whoss name Is given to the silver
law. the repeal OF which II desired at the
special session Of congress. to an inquiry
relative to the silver question and the
probable legislation on that subject at the
opecial session, said:
"This y hardly the time for me to talk
ON that subject. The special session has
been called, the Democrats are in the ma
1ority and to them we must look for So
luton to the silver problem, though 1t is
already evident they can accomplish moth
ing in that direction without the co-opera-
tion of the Republican minority.
sI may say, however, that 1t is probable
the extra session will repeal the law to
which my name has been attached, or
At Least the First Clause Of IL,
which provides for the monthly purchase
Of 4, 900 ounces Of silver ut the market
rates. This feature Of the law, In my
opinion. il the only one to which excep-
tions can be taken by any good fnancier.
II see that Senator Voorhees, Is quoted
rs saying that he would vote for the repeal
Of the law. and that he did not vote for it
in 1890. Like many others who have criti-
cized the law, he was willing to or did vote
for free coinage bill just before the pres
emit law was enacted.
I'm this lies the inconsistency of many
Democratic opponents Of the measure now
in force. They object 20 the silver bullion
purchase clause. although it provides for
the monthly pnrchase Of 4, 100000 ounces
ut market rates, while IN 1890 they favored
. free coinage bill which directed the
monthly purchase OF ti,500,000 worth OF
silver bullion.
They Cannot Now Well Refuse
to vote for the repeal of the purchase
clause, and it is equally certain they dare
not vote for free coinage, as the people
have educated themselves up to the point
of knowing that It Is q ruinous financial
policy

'.Do you think the special session will

There is no telling what congress will

"Will the special session allay financial
anxiety and restore business con fidence!"
1T will be easier to answer that after
