Other Opinions.

OCneF OplnAOus'
Representative Hutcheson (dem., of
rex.): 1 favor a repeal of the Sher-
man law, provided it is substituted by
well-regulated coinage of gold and
silver, equitably equalized and supple
mented by currency issued by the gov
eminent direct. 1 oppose patchwork
in finances, and favor the statu quo
until complete financial system is
agreed upon, to which all parties must
Weld in their demands for harmonious
action.
Representative John Davis (pop. of
Kas.): The war on silver by Wall
street is a war on western and southern
agriculture Cotton, wheat and wool
fall and rise with silver bullion. I IA
vor the equal and full coinage of gold
and silver of present standard weights,
supplemented with treasury notes. all
equally legal tender for all debts and
taxes I am opposed to borrowing
London money. We can make our
own money We must retain the Sher-
man law till something better can be
had.
Representative Ki1gore (dem. of
Tex.): would favor a repeal of the
sherman law on the condition that
silver be retained. As a money of the
country would favor state bank cur
rencv. under restrictions and limita-
tons, and based on gold and silver.
REPRESENTATIVE Grain (dem. of Tex:
| T can not tell what / shall do until
congress meets
Representative T. J. Hudson (dem.,
of Kas.l: I favor free silver as a sub
stitute for the Sherman law. and, if
that is not sufficient, greenbaclxs-
Representative Curtis (dem.. of Kas.):
I favor the immediate repeal of the
sherman bill and the free coinage of
silver at its true ratio with gold. Coin
as much as will circulate of the bullion
now owned by the government into
standard silver dollars at new ratio,
call in the dollars now in circu-
| lation. recon them into subsidiary
coins and dollars and protect the
| holders by making them full legal
tender until redeemed. Create a COM
mission to maintain the parity of the
two metals for redemption purposes
according to the commercial ratio.
= The Administration should
| talk less and do more business. =
Representative Gresham tdem. of
| Tex.l: favor the repeal of the Sher-
man law, but the federal government
should provide a banking system upon
a broader and more elastic basis than
the present
Representative Case Broderick (rep.,
of Kas-): am in favor of bi-metallism
Am opposed to the repeal of the Sher-
| man silver law without something bet

Senator Stewards Views.

Senator Stewart (si1ver, of New has
written the following:
SR:-You ask me whether the Sherman act
will be repealed. I reply no. The representa-
tives of the people dare not do it. Every obi
cation OF the government and nearly ALL il not
ALL private obligations entered into previous
to 1870 except those on the Pacific coast are
payable in silver.
The repeal Of the Sherman act would de-
prive the debtor of the right to pay in the
money Of the contract and convert all the in
debtedness of the United States into gold obi
cations. and not only impoverish and ruin the
present generation. but would be a heritage of
misery for generations to come.
No. the Sherman act will not be repealed.
