it was when the debts were contracted, and that any attempt to restore silver to its place as a money metal can only result In single silver standard.
 Well, if we are to have single stand ard, which I do not think at all necessary, I would prefer a silver standard to a gold one, for there is so much silver in the world that it would never be possible to corner 1t for the benefit of the few, as 1t is possible to corner gold. Then, again, suppose the remonetization of silver should cause prices to go up. Is it not better to havo high prices and enough money to pay with than to have low prices and he with out the needful with which to meet pay mentsf
 Decentralization of Silver.
 livery step that has been taken toward the adoption of a single gold standard has been step straight in the direction of ruin and panic, widespread and lasting, and the prosperity of tho United States has been almost infinitely damaged by the demonstration of the white metal here. It is the cause of 5 cent cotton and of 50 cent wheat. Take note of the fact, how ever, that the present figures at which wheat and cotton are held are gold and not silver prices; that tho relation between silver and wheat and silver and cotton Is about the same as it always was. This shows, in my judgment, that it is gold and not silver that, of the two metals, Is the most subject to flactuation. Gold is steadily going up and has been over since silver was wrenched by legislation from its proper place. Gold Is now being hoard ed everywhere because it Is believed that its rise will be greater than tho interest the same amount would pay If loaned cut, and this very hosrding intensiiies tho gen eral distress.
 Yet the single standard men shake their heads wisely and talk about tho op- eration of the laws of trade and refuse to admit that it is legislation of the wrong sort that has brought about the distress of today They refuse to consider the fact that for 70 years gold and silver were by law maintained at a parity in the United States, each serving as n money metal and to the satisfaction of everybody. It Is true that there was sometimes scarcity of one metal and sometimes of tho other, but when one was scarce the other was plentiful, and both metals being used the scarcity of either worked no great evil. There Is Yet Hope.
 What dol propose for immediate relief? Whats tho use of proposing anythingy Congress is neither willing nor ablo to take proper steps for the fighting q the trouble. Politics is uppormoSt, and the welfare and prosperity of the people are forgotten. 1 believe, however, that wise financial Legislation will ultimately be en- acted for have faith in tho destiny of this republic and the good sense of its peo- pie Bond issues! They are a trick, and l this was clearly shown by the fact that as soon as the announcement was made ro- gently that another issue was to be print ed and sold the orders for quantities of gold to bo shipped abroad were promptly | cancelled I.

No attacks ever made upon a president in either house of Congress were more more cowardly than those which have been and are now being made rpon President Cleveland for having bought gold which he thought necessary for the preservation of the credit of the government upon the best obtainable terms. The attacks are cowardly because those who make them know that the president cannot reply to them without saying things which they are certain his patriotism will prevent his saying. There ,sre not two men in the United States whose reputation for honesty and integrity are higher than those of Grover Cleveland and John G. Carlisle. and they have both said in the most positive terms that the contract for the issue of those bonds to purchase the needed gold was the best to be obtained. Republicans ID both house and senate have stated that the bonds could have been exchanged for gold in this country upon better terms. To resort to abuse of these men is too much llke adopting their own methods. but they must have known when they made those statements that they were false. It is not expected that either President Cleveland or Secretary Carlisle wlll ever publicly say tbat American capitalists were appealed to and appealed to in vain. to furnish the gold needed by the government and take bonds to pay for it. Such statement from the president CT the secretary of the treasury would have tendency to injure it Is not likely to be made no matter how much abuse may be heaped upon them. But it is none the less cowardly to take | advantage of that.

him would. He told me some time

walked hastily to where the petition
was. signed it and retired without
even reading it, believing the sole OBJ
ject OF the petition was to request the
seating Of Mr.. du Pont
l am to blame, no doubt, for not
reading the petition before signing it,
but, being in hurry at the time,
accepted what was said to be its object
without question.
