referred to has been garbled and twisted
and perverted in and out of congress
during the past two years with a mali
cious ingenuity which has scarcely ever
been edualled in the discussion of a
public question, and vet no one has ever
yentured to make the direct assertion
that it contained a single word in favor
of the free coinage of silver. 1t was,
in fact made in opposition to free coin
age and in support of the senate subsu-
tute for a free coinage bill, as can be
seen by any one who will take the trouble
to read it. Certain sentences, in winch
l denounced in strong language the at
tempt to destroy" silver as money
metal, have been separated from their
context and quoted again and again IN
congress, on the stump and in newspapers
by men who never read the speech and
who appear wholly incapable of under
standing the difference between the to-
tal dIisuse of that metal as money ana
its free and unlimited coinage at the pub
lie expense for the benefit of private an
diyiduals and corporations. l have a
COPY of the speech here, but will not de-
tain you by reading extracts from ut 10
show what my position was, because any
gentleman who desires to do so can ind
it in full in the appendix to the Congress,
sional Record for the second session OF
the Forty-ffth congress. Some of the
opinions then expressed have been modA,
fed and some of them have been changed
altogether by subsequent events and p9
a more thorough investigation of the sub
jects to which they related; but ON the
question of free coinage my convictions
have never been shaken for a moment.
l thank you most sincerely for the, pa
thence with which you have listened t.
my remarks, and will detain you no lon
ger.
