1t will be waste OF time to appeal to
the silver men to respect any agree
ment made at the time OF the passage
OF the silver purchase act There was
an understanding that 1.-THE treasury
were compelled to purchase 4,5O0,oOo
ounces Of oliver every month, the silver
men would abide by the result and ask
nothing more.
They insisted that these purchases
would soon bring silver up to an equal
ity with gold at the ratio OF sixteen TO
one. Failing that they were to aban-
don their demand for the FREQ and I'M
limited coinage OF silver. They were
ready to enter into this compact be-
cause the bill granted them more than
they had hoped to accomplish when
they began their warfare on the fnan-
cial system of the country.
The measure has utterly failed to pro.
duce the conditions SO confidently pre-
dicted by the silver men. Not only SO,
but during its operation they have seen
silver reach its lowest point on record.
The eilver producers, who have an or
ganiSed lobby under a high.sounding
name, say that this is q result of q
worldwide conspiracy Of "gold.bugs,"
and they profess to believe that the
United States can bring to naught the
schemes Of the conspirators by entering
ON drunken spree OF free silver.
The silver producers who have threat
ened to set up a government Of their
own will not stop for agreements or
understandings. They will howl as
loud as ever. But they will not have
the support they had a few months ago,
and they will not cut SO great a figure
as they have cut.
The way for Congress to deal with
them is to do what is best for tho coun-
try and let the silver producers take
their chances with the rest Tho peo.
Pile Of this country have paid them
tribute long enough.
