WHO IS TO BLAME FOR III?
The Scarcity Of Money in the
Hands Of the People,
Voorhees, Says That is the Cause Of
Hard Tines---How Democrats
Are Improving Them.

Are Improving Them.
Senator Voorhees, aScribcs tho hard
times to 'thc scarcity Of money in
the hands Of the people" That is
correct, and the reason it is not iE
the hands Of the people is because
Mr.. Voorhees, and his party have
made it impossible for tho people to
get hold Of it. Give the people en-
ploymcnt and good wages, as they
had under republican administration,
and the money will find it's way into
their hands without trouble. And
the people, especially those Of the
west. remember hat it was Voorhees,
who had charge. in the senate. Of he
bill repeating the silver purchasing
clause OF the Sherman act, and lru
the assault on the silver act. and was
one Of the prime factors in the work
Of making Il 'scarcitv Of money III
the hands Of the people. And they
will not forget that Mr.. Voorhees,.
protesting to be 4 friend to silver.
and 4 Di-mctallist. urged. during the
debates in the senate. that the re-
peal would be the best thing for hc
silver interests: that the sherman
law was only 4 coWardlv makvShifl,
the work Of sillcr>S enemies. and he
and some Of Iii, democratic colleagues
promised that if the law was repealed
he or some Of them would Introduce
and urge the passage Of Il free coin
age bill.
The repeal bill was passed, the
spccial session adjourned. after doing
the bidding Of its master, Cleveland.
