sChiefest Cause OF Our woes"-How He
Would Go About to Estsblish Sound
Currency for the Country.
ALBANY, June - Senator Hill was
asked whether he had read Senator Sher.
mans speech on tho monetary question.
"Yes." said the senator, II have care.
fully perused Senator Sherman's Zanes-
vile speech on silver. The implication
startled me that there are, in a prosperous
state like Ohio, Republican voters who
wish to degrade our dollar standard, re.
pudiatc one-half our public debt and pay
their debts in cheaper money than they
promised to pay. l have not met such
voters in New York. 1t is difficult for me
to believe that q majority in any Amer
ican state or in any American congress
will vote to create a new dollar merely in
order that thereby debtors may evade the
payment of one.half, or one-quarter or
any percentage of what they owe and
have promised.
Would wipN Out the Greenback.
''That would be worse and more indie
fensible than the creation in 1862 by Sen.
ator Shermans party, of the full legal
tender greenback dollar. Then tho coun.
try was in the agony of civil war, but now
there is profound peace. Reputation of
private contracts had not been attempted
in our history until 1869. Whether our
standard dollar was silver or gold, or
both, it was from 1872 tc 1862 an honest,
an undegraded standard. Iwould exter.

THE FIRST RIvET DRIVEN
Emperor William Starts a New
Warship With Hammer
In m Address to tbc Naval Recruits His
naiesty Dives Them Some Excellent
Advice

wilhelms Haven, March 5.-The En-
peror went from the officers club to the
dock yard to attend the ceremony of lay
ing the keel of new warship His
Majesty drove the first rivet in the keel
plate. On addressing the naval recruits,
His Majesty said:
My men, you have come here to take
the oath Of allegiance. 1t was an old Gus
tom of our forefathers, and they held it a
sacred duty to perform their oath loyalty.
Just as ], your En- peror and Sovereign,
devote my every effort and thought
to the Fatheriand, so you are bound
to live your ohole life for me.
You have taken the oath as Christians,
and true servants of God have spoken to
you in Christian spirit. On your war
flag you behold the eagle, the noblest bird
in the universe. Strong in its youth it
scars high in the air beneath the rays of
Gods sun, knowing neither fear nor dan
ger. So also must be your thought and
act. You are now coming to a time when
in the serious business of your service
demands will be made upon you which
will be irksome, when many hours will
come which you will think yourselves

to a check for $500. She spurned the Offer
ana Fair gave up the struggle for the
KISS. This story was told me by Mr..
Priest of Yuma, and there is no doubt Of
its truth
Mr.. Poullin reached for fresh cigar
and Mr.. Colwell, who had re-entered the
room, referring to the story Of Fairs ad-
miration of Sallie Gamble, published in
Mondays Herald, said "The article
read with considerable interest, and
could tell you whole lot more about it
If desired. l never saw kinder hearted
man in all my life than Fair, notwth-
standing all that has been said about him.
For instance, l remember circum-
stance which happened while we were
stopping at Monrovia and l never told
this even to Mr.. Poullin. One day Sallie
wrote to the Senator, or told him few
days before, l won't be positive which,
that she was going to ride her wheel to
Monrovia to see him. He studied over
the matter for few moments and then
addressing me said, 1T won't do to have
that girl come out here to call on me,
much as l should like to see her. Colwell,
you write her and tell her that would
be dellghted. to see her, but will be away
on business the day she sa VS. she is COM
ing. Everybody would talk we're she to
come.
II did as he requested and Sallie didn t
call. ;" Resuming, Mr.. Poullin said that
the statement made by Jack Lemming
to Herald reporter that Fair drank
liquor out of a bottle on Spring and First
street. when tha thorouuhf forea uera
crowded, would show that he was not in
his right mind. No gentleman, and a
former United States Senator at that,
and millionaire SO awidely known and
respected, would have been guilty of
such an act we're he in his right mind.
Mr.. Poullin will remain in the city for
several days and today will call upon
Sallie Gamble to hear her tell, himself,
what peculiarities she saw Fair exhibit
during the time she knew him.

THE BATTLE OF N|NETY-S|X
Issues on Which the New Party
Will Campaign
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
Statement of Fact Made by the BIZ
metallic League
Questions and Fight for the
Money Proposition

Washington, March 5.--The following
was today issued by the American BIZ
Metallic League as a statement of issues
on which the new party will base its cam
paign
1.-The money question is undoubtedly
the dominant issue of the United States.
Other questions, however important, must
wait for this, which to a greater or less
extent involves all others, is settled. This
issue is between the gold standard, gold
uonds and bank currency on one side, and
the bimetallic standard, no bonds and
Government currency on the other.
''First-On this issue, we declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard and demand the i'm
mediate return to the constitutional
standard OF gold and silver, of the restora-
ton by this Government independently of
any foreign power of the unobstructed
coinage of both silver and gold into
standard money at the ratio of 16 to l
and upon the terms of exact equality, the
silver coin to be a full legal tender. equal
with gold in payment of all debts and
dues, public and private.
Second-We hold the power to control
and regulate paper currency inseparable
from the. power to coin money, and hence
that the currency intended to circulate
as money should be issued and its volume
controlled by the general Government
only, and should be legal te nder.
Third-We are unalterably opposed to
the issue by the United States OF inter-
est-bearing bonds in time of peace and
demand the payment of all coin obliga-
tions of the United States as provided by
existing laws in either gold or silver coin
at the option of the Government, and not
at the option of the creditor. On this is
sue we appeal from the dictation of the
money power to the intelligence and the
patriotism of the American public.
1.-The sgners of the Declaration of In
dependence held that decent aspect for
the opinions of mankind required that
reasons should be given for dissolving the
bonds that had bound the colonies to
Grea Britain, so we, who find it neces-
sary to sever our relations with the politi-
cal parties with which we have heretofore
acted and form new alliances in common
cause, deem it proper that some of the
reasons which impel us to this action
should be submitte to candid public.
1.-The monetary reform foi which we
contend, as above set forth, is, in our
Judgment, so vital to the common welfare
and so necessary to a return of conditions
of prosperity in this country as to preclude
longer delay in the Inauguration of a
movement the purpose of which is to
bring together all who believe in the ne
cessity of the proposed reform, for this
object and this alone. Those in favor of
The herald., 1895-03-06

the gold standard are and have been
united in purpose and action. Party
lines do not divide them when this issue
is raised. Differences ON other questions
are then laid aside and together they in
well beseeming ranks, march all one way.
"On the other hand, those who are in
favor of return to the constitutional
standard of gold and silver are split into
as many divisions as there are parties.
Silver Republicans from the West and
South to the great delight of the leaders
of the Republican party insist on contend
ing for their canse only within the limits
of that party, and Southern and Western
Democrats, earnest silver men, equally
to the delight of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party, continue the contest on their
part only within the party lines of the
Democratic party. In other words, the
advocates of the bimetallic standard,
through the unrestricted coinage Of silver
as well as gold, now contend for their
cause in organizations which are con-
trolled by the gold party. Hence, how
ever Jealous in the cause one may be, no
results are possible because his party re-
fuses to carry out his views, or to permit
them to be carried out.
1T is believed there is and has been for
twenty years large majority of the vot-
ers in the United States in favor of the
free coinage Of both gold and silver, but
the opportunity to vote their convictions
has never been given them, and their will
has been continually thwarted by party
chicanery. There has not been Con
gress for twenty years which, except for
the influence of executive patronage or the
fear of an executive veto, would not have
voted to open the mints again to silver
on the same terms as to gold. Indeed,
each house Of Congress has at different
times separately passed free coinage bills,
but this action has as often been frustrat-
ed by party manipulation. 1t is as neces-
rary, therefore, to have President in
sympathy with the cause as to have Con-
gress in favor Of it.
"But enough has been said to show the
impossibility Of gaining our cause as long
The herald., 1895-03-06

unequal to. Then remember you are
Christians, think of your parents and of
how your mothers taught you the Lords
Prayer. When abroad be known BY your
worth and good behavior. Our navy is
outwardly indeed small, but what makes
us stronger than other navies is discipline
and showing obedience to superiors.
THUS will our navy prosper and grow
great in the work of peace and for the
benefit and good of the Fatherland, and
thus with hope in God shall we destroy
the enemy. Be you like the Branden-
burgers of old.
