All sensible people will endorse these
sentiments expressed by contempor-
airy: If the principal part of the argu-
ment of the free silver men consists
only in invectives2 against those who
cannot see the financial question as
they do. they have a weak case. We
would like to see the matter argued
fairly and upon its merits, and can see
no good in denouncing Cleveland,
Carlisle. Sherman and others as thieves
and rascals. If free silver is the best
thing for the country the people want
it. II it is not the best thing they do
not want it. but what they do want Is a
sound financial system in which gold
silver and paper money will all be OF
equal value and they would like to
know as fully as possible the facts in
regard to the past history OF the
finances of the country SO that they
may be able to Judge correctly as to the
future.
