 to the senate, but party fealty would never lead him to vote to fix the gold standard upon the country. Mir sherman spoke for the first time on the financial question We have reached the point" he said, where We are being told that no relief will be given the country unless
 we concede the free coinage of silver" He be- lieved such a concession would be disastrous If there was to be choice he believed in taking
 that metal recognized by the world as the best,
 but he did not believe such a choice impera- tive. He still believed that both metals could be used Other senators took part in the dis cussion and regular routine business followed The house considered all day the bill to
