Mr.. Morton, the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, deserves the severe censure he is re-
ceiying from mary sources for the intem-
perate. unwise and unjust language he
used the other day in an interview in
speaking of Senators Harris, Pugh and
Morgan. on more than one occasion since
he has occupied his present position he
has embarrassed the administration by
his lack of judgment.
Mr.. Morton said that the finance which
Senator's Harris, Pugh, Morgan and other
confederate generals teach is entirely con-
federate fiat, and that they seem to de-
sire ito accomplish by false finance that
which they failed to bring about by arms
national dishonor and disgrace"
When Mr.. Morton uttered these words
he must have been conscious that what
he said was not true The men he attack
ed are just as sincere in advocating free
silver coinage as he is in upholding the
gold standard In Mr.. Morton's own state
there are union generals, and thousands
of union veterans. who are going to vote
the free silver ticket. In fact the silver
movement was a very popular one all
through the west before it obtained much
recognition in the south. Why then did
not Mr.. Morton attack the people of his
own section Of the country rather than
those of the south? Senators Stewart.
Teller and Jones are just as conspicuous
in their advocacy of silver as is Senators
Harris, Pugh and Morgan. Why then
single out southern men for attack?
1t is said that the President and other
members of the administration severely
condemn Mr.. Morton's unjust and uncal-
ed for attack upon southern men. A con-
federate general is the vice presidential
candidate on the gold standard demo-
cratic ticket, the administration ticket,
and a distinguished citizen of Alabama is
the Secretary of the Navy. Some of the
Presidents warmest friends and supper
ters are southern men.
Mr.. Morton has made very good Sec
rotary Of Agriculture. but this attempt of
his to drag the bloody shirt into the cam
paign will bring upon him the condem-
nation of thousands of his fellow citizens
who have heretofore held him in high
astaaro
