Remarkable Fulfillment Of His
Predictions on Finances

New YORK, Jan. 16.-A letter from
Senator David B. Hill. of New York,
will be published here tomorrow, which
will attract considerable attraction as
bearing upon the campaign of 1896 In
II he declares that the free coinage Of
silver, as we'll as gold. must be held
out as the goal which the country must
ultimately reach"
The letter was written nearly two
years ago, just prior to the memorable
extra session Of 1898. 10 Clark Howell,
editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who
gives it to the public with the consent
Of Senator hill. obtained some time ago.
The letter bears date Of July 10, 1858.
Senator Hill begins by saying that i'll
the first and only interview he had with
President Cleveland he urged the cali
ing of the extra session of congress in
April of that year, instead of September,
the presidents preference. The sena-
tor predicts a session lasting until De-
cember and much bitterness and diYiS-
ion in the Democratic ranks in coGse-
quence. He favors the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. but an ac-
ceptablc substitute for it should be pro-
vided. However, the repeal should be
made at once. and other financial mat
ters be considered afterwards. Il am, \"
he says, "in favor of bnnetallism as the
issue Of the future" He is for free
coinage under an international agree.
ment if possible, and if not possible.
then for independent bimetallism. He
says:
II do not believe IN the Bland bill or
any other measure which guarantees
anything less than unrestricted coinage
for gold and silver alike. as pledged in
the Democratic national platform. We
should continue to hold out free coin
age as the goal which the country must
ultimately reach"
Senator Hill expresses himself as not
in favor OF the federal tax on state
bank issues, but fears the consequences
of repeal of the tax, rs he does mot
like such wildcat currency and never
did" He fears such an experiment will
not be a success. and advises that this
issue must be not mixed up with the
legal tender currency question.
The senator on the subject Of tariff
reform expresses confidence of the pas
sage of whatever bills the treasury de-
partment might recommend. I'VE must
make a little tariff reform go great
ways" he says There should be not
much reduction except where it is
likely to produce more revenue. lie
doubted the policy of restoring the
sugar tax. Let the tariff be retained
with those articles which come in COM
petition with our own wOrkmen ii it is
necessary to secure more revenue" is
his closing recommendation.

fore Kansas people. The free coinage
of both gold and silver, without regard
to the wishes of any other nation on
earth, is one of the things Kansas peo-
pie demand-but not the only one.
Democrats should again declare against
the farce of prohibition, against hypoc-
racy and peculation in Office, against
trusts and combinations and for HON
EsTY in politics as well as other things.
The resolutions of the republicans
mean nothing; the resolutions of the
populists mean but little; but the reso-
lutions of the democrats should be
plain, straightforward and unequivocal.

The attempted enforcement of the
prohibitory law is the right thing at the
right time. Never before was this law
violated SO openly and so hagrantly.
Lay on, McDuff. and the people will
soon be ready to repeal it and accept
high license or local option-anything
to do away with the bowling farce of
prohibition.

it begins or leaves off.
