When Sherman rose to gtve his Views
Oh the financial sisuatior-shc nrst he
has expressed In the senate for some
tfme-there was a buzz OF expectation and
interest. Sherman stepped forward and
seemed to address himself parsies;iariy tn
the Democratic side. emphasizing his re-
marks with frequent gestures. I'VE have
reached the point" said he. sswhere we
are being told that no relief can i.e given
to the country until we have conceded
the free coinage OF silver He believed
such AN absolute concession would be a
greater disaster TO the country .han any
other course that could be adopted. And

free silver or nothing. If there was 10
be choice between two coin standards.

one which was recognized the world over
as the best. He did NOT believe such a
choice was imperative. He stih believed
both metals could b. used. but I am
bound to say" said sherman. ..that the
nnance committee is utterly helpless. We
are equally divided We can reach no
agreement. We arc not able to rep,rt
unless the concession is made To f,aa
silver" Iha people had plenty of money.
