FOR SILVER.
Legislation In Its Behalf viii Be Attempted
by Democrats.

pJ
Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Voor-
hees, chairman OF the committee on
finance. furnished an interview to-day
which. in some degree, confirmed the re-
port which has been current since the
beginning OF the present session, that
he would seek legislation favorable to
silver before the final adjournment OF
the Fifty-thlrd congress. He said; II
have no change of views to express.
Silver is the money OF the constitution
and should be coined on the same terms
that gold Is, without discrimination
against either. and without charge for
coinage. j voted against the passage
of the Sherman act. and labored To Sc
cure its repeal. not because | was an
enemy of silver coinage. Free coinage
of gold means free coinage OF silver, To
my mind. The plain working people
have been benefited in the last hundred
years more by silver than gold, and the
whining Of sordid avarice which We
hear now. that gold is sound money
and silver Is not, has the profound con-
tempt of every man familiar with the
developments of his country.
las 20 the parity of the two metals
when coined. even small children of
finance know that the purchasing
power Of dollar is not fixed by the
quality or quantity OF material which
composes II, but by these laws which
make it legal tender in payment of
debts. When silver is coined. therefore.
at the rate or 16 to /. In gold or at any
other ratio. and clothed with authority
of law. Il has never failed TO be on a
par with gold in its purchasing and In
Its debt paying power.
"The coinage act Of 1887 proved itself
a wise and safe measure. and | believe
it's re-enactment now would be nm ex-
cellent thing | care but little for the
attitude of foreign nations on the sub
iect. We are not subject to their dicta-
