an ever-increasing tribute to that money

the banks doing missionary work In

peal.
These are serious charges, and they
are seriously made. No close observer
Of current events Will deny their justice,
and even the incredulous should be con-
vinced by few quotations taken at hap

Speaking OF Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman
Of the Senate Finance Committee, the
New York Sun says:
IAN his life he has been a blatant fiat
money man, an inlauonist Of extreme
type In politics he has been called a

politically he has made known his detesta-
ton Of Grover Cleveland. The first
thing the President had to do was to Sc

How he did II no one knows but IL Is
presumed to have been done by promises
Of patronage. After that Mr.. Voorhees,

In his position in his party and in the Sen
ate This diametric change lost him what
little influence ne might have had"
The same paper thus describes another
for revenue:
Senator Gordon is from a rabid free

silver, and so IS his colleague; and so is
almost every public man in Georgia. He
Is for repeal just now for reasons which
Hoke Smith might be able to explain"
The Wa shington Post has the following:
1T Is significant that the hopelessness
Of the effort to reach a vote seems to be
realized at the White House This infor-
nation comes from two sources-a sena-
tor who had a long talk with the Presi-
dent last Saturday afternoon, and a Cab-
net officer with whom a Post reporter had
a conversation yesterday. To the former
the President said that he felt that the

repeal Of the Sherman law had exhausted
every resource known to him, and he
could do no more.
"He took occasion also to speak in the
highest terms of the Republicans who had
been so faithful 10 him, and he added
that he could not ask them to do anything
more than they had already done. They
had demonstrated 10 the country and 20
the Adm inistration their earnestness in
the cause of repeal and they had absolv-
ed Themselves from any further criticism.
AS for the cabinet officer, he said thar
the President could not, of course. origi-
nate a compromise, but he thought that
the President would sign 1t II II limited the
purchase Of silver and provided for an
issue of bonds. The latter, according to
the cabinet officer, is regarded by the
President as being absolutely essential

would adjourn, for he believes that II the
senators who are against repeal Senator's
