Warner Makes a Speech on Silver
Which Has Truth in It.


Which Has Truth in 1t.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Ex-Con-
gresham Dewitt Warner deliv-
cred an address last night or "hard
money" before the Municipal Re-
form club. He said, in part: "The
pending currency questions are
but different phases Of the old is
sue-fat money. All the financial
troubles we have suffered were
caused by the legal tender and
other legislation which put green
backs in circulation. This legisla-
ton, instead OF using the govern
ment to sanction agreements, has
only broken them, and without ex-
cuse. The silver advocates do not
want free coinage. They want
forced currency by the law of de-
preciated silver. Those who are
clamoring for silver legislation are
the ones who either have silver
and want to get rid OF it, or else
owe debts payable in gold, and
want the government to break
contracts so they a pay in silver.
1t would be hard to find a more Of
fensive sort Of government inter
ference. 1t would be just as easy to
have a law passed to make me buy
a coat | did not want or accept one
which | had not bought, as to
make me accept silver dollars
when l had contracted for gold
ones. If we are to have laws like
that, we ought to strike out from
our statute books all penalties for
stealing and robbery"

CANAL BOYCOTT.
The Railroads are Beating the Erie
Canal In Business.

500 49,
BUFFALO, n. Y, May 29.-Three
hundred canal boats are lying rot.
ting in the water at Buffalo as the
result OF the low freight rates on
grain to New York. The shipments
of grain from the west are fully up
to the average; the terminal eleva.
tor has already handled 100000
bushels, yet out of this the canal
has had only three boat loads, not
withstanding the low rates offered
by the boat men X for wheat and
II for oats. The explanation given
by the canal men of the enormous
decline in business is that the rail-
roads have agents in every corner
Of the country and by added facili-
ties are able to keep cutting down
the rates until the scale has been
reached which is ruinously low. 1t
is said that 1000 bushels are now
being put into one a while 400 or
500 bushels were considered a load
a year ago. Altogether the old
Erie canal, which has perhaps
made theEmpire state what she is,
is passing through a far from
bright stage Of its history.
