PRESS, page $50.
On tho very next day, January II,
House bill 1884, which demonetized
silver passed the Senate under the
leadership Of John Sherman. tSee
Congressional Globe, page .674l. So
it seems that while this Senator was
opiniy advocating one thing, he was
sneakingly engaged in effecting an
other. His flop was q cheat. He
was the agent of the money Power"
and he is very rich to-day.
In 1878 John G.. Carlisle, while |
speaking Of the scheme demonetiz- |
ing silver said:
the conspiracy which seems to have been
formed here and in Europe 70 destroy, by
legislation and otherwise, from three
seventies to one-half of the metallic money
of the world is the most gigantic crime Of
this or any other age.
would ultimately entail more misery upon
the human race than all the wars, pestiien-
ces and famines that have ever occurred in
| the history Of the world. The absolute and
| instantaneous destruction of half the entire
| movable property of the world, including
hoyt al, dc Ill atb
pliances for carrying on commerce, while
it would be felt more sensibly at the mo-
ment, would not produce anything like the
prolonged distress and disorganization of
society that must inevitably result from the
permanent humiliation of the one half of
the metallic money in the world "
But when John G.. Carlisle became
a member Of the Cabinet, he yielded
to the mandate of the money Pow
; err" and he is now stumping the
country in favor of the gold stand

the hands of the money spectators
