The demonstration Of silver Tn 1873 Is
IN obsolete fact, too remote to have any
bearing on present. conditions. When sill
yer was demonstized In 1873, It was. and
for nearly half century had been, prac'
tically out Of circulation. Our only circu.
lating medium from 1854 up to the time
we resumed specie payment in 1879 was
paper, and nearly . year before such re-

we take INTO account Enc aggregate OF our
population and the aggregate OF our cur
rency, % well as the mode OF our doing
business, that silver has not been stricken
down but that, on the whole, It Is In as
much favor here ~ anywhere. We have
! not only maintained parity in value, but
also parity IN quantity OF circulation be-
tween the two metals. We are all IN favor
Of the free coinage Of silver, under such
conditions that 1t can maintain itself in
circulation dollar for dollar on parity
with gold, without requiring an ultimate
redemption fund In gold and without
driving our gold out OF circulation. Silver
mono-metalism would IN one fell stroke
divest us OF full half OF our metallic cur
rency and would place US commercially IN
touch with such countries - China, India,
Mexico and south America, while honest,
sound bimetatism viii keep us IN touch,
for purposes OF commerce and exchange,
with the entire civilized world.
Those who today, for selfish purposes,
and Invested Of patriotism; see At to decry
the course Of our government during the
last quarter ,of, q century. overlook the fact
that the very RoNlness d our institutions

Labor, attracted By better wages, better
living and better. homes than elsewhere,
has hocked to our shores in great num-
befs, and We arc today moro embarrassed
by this overpius Of labor than from almost
any other single cause. We have alb
sorbed much but there il limit to the
digestion syef.of asiant. Could tho labor
that has come TO our shores within the
last 10 years again ind work abroad,
the labor problem would be much
