and bring silver mono -metalisni. which
in its turn would bring a deprecated cur
Tency. They reason That the commercial
value of silver being near thlrty-two ol
silver to one of gold: that it would be
impossible for the government 10 main

of the most value would 90 OUT OF CliSu-

While we may not agree with their corr
illusions we mist admit that as many IL
not more people i'll the United States
agree with them as wiki us. we must
remember that this admins trdtOn Is lot
responsible for the depreciation of sllEef.
but that il mas had to raic things as they
were. There is no doubt III my nlinu
but that # MIR Cleveland believed that
free coinage Of silver by our government
would bring the two metals together com
mercially and that tho government could
maintain the parity Of the two metals,
and that every silver and gold dollar
would eacn he the equal OF the other
that he would hesitate to sign such Il
bill if it shonld be passed ~ Congress
II is silver monometalisn that this ad-
miniStration is opposing and If free colil-
age of SILVER would bring such a result
then the people of the United States 40
not want II.
Elm every speech M Carlisle has ever
made he has been consistent on this sub
ject. But it is said that he opposed the
Recommendations IF silver and made
speeches in Congress denouncinS II ae
a crime and that il would bring untold
troubles upon the country; indeed he did,
and in doing so did right but those
speeches of his had no effect on the so
called corrupt statesmen" of the Republic
can party, as pictured by the Tribune
but Notwithstanding Mr.. Carlisle
speeches and objections the Republicans
demonetized silver, and such demonetiZd-
ton having deprecated its commercial
value to about 90 per cent of what it
was worth At that time; they now turn
to Mr.. Carlisle and say lie is 4 "gOldite
and has gone back on his record, becaus
he is unwilling as the secretary of the
treasury to advocate what he believes
States ar Unsound and deprecated money.
This. however, is about as consistent as
RepublcanIsn is and has ever been on
the silver question
The western Republicans have no cause
to complain at The result anyway, for
il is the legitimate product Of their own
action. For years past they have been
voting Ter protection, as they are
pleased to call it; which in turn has built
up a powerful monopoly in the east,
bringing along with il the plutOcracy that
finally procured the decentralization of sill
yer; and now having acquired its power,
( they turn o.: their brother Republicans IN
the west and say to them that your sill
