date for chief Justice bf the supfeme
court, has !sritten u letter OF accept
ance to the committee; which gives His
views on the leading questions Of the
day. He prefaces his letter by saying:
"The issues OF free and unlimited coin.
age Of silver and gold at the ratio Of 10
to /, and the rcsubmission OF the pro-
hibitory amendment, meet my hearth.
est APPRECIATION, and challenge the
earnest consideration Of every patriotic
voter and taxpayer In the state"
Mr.. Holiday believes that 1.-THE
United States should be the Greater
America, and not the lesser England"
and that mo nation ever followed En-
glands lead except to England's ad.
vantage" lie believes that this couhs
try should adopt the free coinage Of
silver ut the ratio of 10 to /. regardless
Of the wishes of England or any other
gold standard country. England"
Mr. Holiday continues, "began tho
work of destroying silver back early in
the century. English gold demone-
tized silver in an American congress in
1873. Germany followed four months
later. then France, the Latin union,
and finally, fndia--all at the bidding
of England and the bondholders.
When the United States demonetizcd
silver it was worth more than gold,
that is, II was above par; and the ink
would not be dry on q bill remonetiz-
ing silver In the United States to-day,
before its value would be par again
the world over"
Mr.. Holiday takes decided grounds
In favor Of resubmission. He declares
prohibition failure. He thinks PRO
hibition Is n good deal like the English
gold standard. Its advocates want
you to hold on to 1t, till everyone Is
financially ruined, to see II, eventually,
It will not happen to be good thing. -"
lie, therefore, believes that the people
having given II long trial, it should
now be relegated to the rear, for, he
says, besides being expensive 1t has
driven capital from the state, and he
favors the election of judges that will
declare this "legalized farce" inopera-
tive and void, because, sooner or later
It will be declared unconstitutional or
legislated out of existence.
Mr.. Holiday further favors n thor
ough revision Of the mortgage laws Of
the state, which he characterizes rs
oppressive, as under this beautiful
single gold standard of English finance
now in vogue in this country, the prop
erty foreclosed does not pay the mort
gage, and big judgments are obtained
against future acquisitions Of the
mortgagor."
