Interviews.
''If the Sherman act is repealed with
out substitute being put through"
said Senator Stewart, sit will be the
greatest calamity that has ever befalIen
the country. 1t will compel us to bor-
row money from England on such terms
as she may impose. This convention is
called to prevent that, and by thorough
organization l think we can do it."
EX-Gov. ROuett, of Colorado, said:
"At the coming session OF congress they
think they are going to inveigle the
silver people into voting for the uncOn-
ditional repeal of the Sherman law"
said the governor and. with a twinkle
in his eye, he continued: But they
can't do it; we're too smart for 'em.
We are not III favor of that repeal, un-
less what We favor is passed at the
same time. We need more money in
the country, not only for the benefit of
Colorado. but for everybody. Give us
silver certificates and Ill buy up every
railroad in the country. We need plenty
of money in circulation to stimulate
business and keep up property value" F."
"Wall street and the Rothschilds are
behind this attempt to depreciate sill
ver,' said Judge Murphy, of Arizona.
"It amt so bad with us, we stopped
silver mining three or four years ago;
but we feel the hard times. It's the
same all over the West. The deStitu-
tion is terrible.' ~.s
Senator Reagan, of Texas, Is on hand.
I'VE will not vote for the repeal of the
Sherman bill or any OF its clauses" said
he, unless free silver act is ali abso-
lutte certainty. English Influences are
to blame for present conditions. Eng
land is the creditor of the world, and it
is her policy to limit the production of
silver as much as possible SO as to en-
hance the value of her foreign bonds
and interest bearing securities. The
newspapers are not treating the ques-
tiOn fairly, for while they advocate the
repeal of the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman bill they do not offer a substi-
tute, or show how currency is to be pro-
vided."
