Public Opinion Washington, d. c.
notes that much interest has been
aroused and much comment called forth
by the alleged interview of ex-Speaker
Reed upon the silver question:" pub
lshed in the London Fortnightly Re-
view," suggesting that the countries
favorable TO free coinage OF silver form a
tariff union against the countries opposed
TO free coinage. This utterance OF the
ex-Speaker, taken in connection with the
Republican vote in theSenate upon the
Lodge amendment to the tariff bill, en-
bodying the same idea of tariff discrimin-
alton In favor OF silver, has raised the
question whether the Republican party
viii adopt this tari1f-silver policy as a
party tenet and go before the country
upon that issue. The comment of the
leading newspapers OF the country, espe-
tally the Republican newspapers. upon
this proposed policy is exceedingly inter-
esting. Public Opinion" IN three late
issues has reproduced extracts from a
large number OF prominent newspapers
from all parts the country upon this
topic.
