NOW THE TIME, SAYS VOORHEES,
FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECLARE
THEMSELVES ON SILVER.
CAN THE PRODUCING PEOPLE BE
BuLLIED OUT OF THEIR RIGHTS
is THE QUESTION. HE SAYS.
THAT is TO BE ANswERED-HE
is FOR BOTH METALS EQUALLY.
INDIANAPOLIS. April 20.

Senator Voorhees, In talk today
with Sentinel washington corre-
spondent made this statement in re-
gard to his views OF the Tree coinage
OF silver.
81 do not regret the agitation OF the
silver question. Sooner or later 1t is to
be definitely settled. whether the la
boring, producing people of this coun-
try can be bulled out Of one-half OF
their debt-paying money or whether
they viii stand up like free men and
protect and defend the money named
and provided in the constitution-gold
and silver both-not one of the pre-
cious metals alone. but both, and on
terms and conditions as to coinage and
use OF absolute equality. This is the
question Immediately before us, and
no better time than now Will ever be
found for it's settlement.
"The tariff will not return to plague
us again for years to come. II has
been so wisely and equitably adjusted
that no attempt at u general revision
is now In contemplation in any quar-
ter There IL no longer any issue In
regard to Federal election laws and
the threat OF the bayonet at the ballot
box. No great national question is at
this time in the way of full, free,
fair discussion of money, currency,
precious metals, ratios. standards OF
value, units on account and payment
and the bearing which all theseAhings
have on the general welfare All the
great body of the American Ahople,
The silver question Itself Is alsoNklain-
or 10 the view, less obscurede lM the
craft of its enemies than 4 aNyEtime
since the assassination OF silver Ihrney
took place in 1873. There are no lesis-
latlye switches now In existence to
lead the people away from the main
track. No cowardly makeshlfts, no In
sincere shams, can any longer darken
discussion or hetray honest councils.
"The sherman act whicht was con-
ceivpd in rancorous hostility to silver
and brought forth Into a law by an
iniquitious betrayal of free silver cHn-
age has been buried In an unhonored
grave over which no lament Will ever
be heard.
81 have never been willing TO admit
our system OF currency should be die
tated by England and other foreign
countries and | repel that idea now.
The real and vital issue now presented
TO the American people Is the pro-
posed elimination OF silver from our
currency, its total overthrow and de-

to the saloon men to the effect that IL
the saloon men would have passed by

II In also believed that the aRsocla-
ton had reports under consideration

Floated About Observation-Disclosures
Even Said to BE In Danger.


Washington, April 29.-Whlle there
were many Wild rumors flying about
the city today touching the state of
affairs at Corinto, some TO the effect
that the difficulty had been patched
up and that the British had Withdrawn
on the basis OF a submission of the
British claim to arbitration, and others
to show that the British had extended
their original program so as TO now
include the dispatch OF fleet of war
ships to collect debt owing BY Hon
duras. 1t appeared that none OF them
had any real basis or at least they
failed to attract the interest OF the
state department, which evidently
looks upon the possibility OF revolu-
tion in Nicaragua as phase OF the
case possessing great Importance Just
now, and which II regards as the es-
sential one 10 provide against, so far
as IL threatens American Interests,
among which. OF course are included
those OF the Nicaragua canal.
The story OF the contemplated on
slauaht on Honduras is regarded as
absT.d, as there is no justification for
any such action. II the British have
any claims against that country they
certainly do not grow out OF the IN
suit to n British official WHOM Great
