0omo Things Ex-seoat0f IngAlls Doesn't

Ex-senator John J. Ingalls, Of Kansas
was recently asked by correspondent
Of the New York Mail and Express for
his opinion a. to the causes Of the hard
times which this country experienced
In 1893 and 1894. His reply was: 1.-THE
contraction Of the circulating medium
Of all the great nations by the destruc-
ton Of the money functions OF silver IL,
to my mind, the chief cause" In reply
to another question he said, President
Cleveland coerced . reluctant congress
into the stoppage Of tho coinage Of the
silver and loft our industries paraly8ed -
Mr.. Ingalls, has achieved national
reputation a. . brilliant politician, but
his statements in regard TO matters Of
fact show him to be either very igno-
rant or altogether unreliable. His asser-
ton that the circulating medium Of all
the great nations has been contracted
