Crisp's Unfairness On Silver Question.
Boston Herald.
BY vote of 8 to 8 the house coinage
committ,e has ordered q favorable re-
port on the Bland bill for the coinage OF
the silver bullion held by the treasury,
Well, what Of it? The committee has
acted exactly as 1t was expected to do.
Thus, the silverite victory does not show
any gain of strength on their side. 1t is
merely case Of the Dutch taking Holland.
The foolish action of the coinage COM
mittee In this matter cannot be taken as
an indication that the house will prove
equally unwise. The committee does
not represent the sentiment of the
house on legislation connected with sill
yer. Quite the reverse. In forming it
Speaker Crisp displayed conspicuous un-
fairness to the honest money men. He
gave the chairmanship to Mr.. Bland,
though the house had emphatically
repudiated the policy advocated
by that rabid champion of the white
metal. What was worse, Mr.. Crisp made
up the committee with majority for free
coinage, while the house displayed a ma
jority of 103 against that obnoxious prin-
ciple.
